Testimonials
I recommend Cali Scaping. They provide outstanding service. Johan Restrepo helped us remove a rotting old deck and replace it with tiered rocks and a hand cut iron gate. We tried to work with many other companies but they did not respond or quoted really high prices. Johan met us right away. John is honest and kind. He and his whole team did an outstanding job! John and his team are knowledgeable, polite and professional, and hard working. Hire him if you need help with landscaping and construction.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Laura!
We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with Johan and the Cali Scaping team. We are so pleased that you're happy with your tiered rock design and custom iron gate. We truly appreciate your kind words about our service, professionalism, and workmanship. It was a pleasure working with you, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to bring your landscaping vision to life. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything in the future — we’re always happy to help!
Warm regards,

These folks have been wonderful to work with and I hope I get to work with them again in the future!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Jeannette! It’s been such a pleasure working with you, and we truly appreciate your kind words.

Edit: We hired Cali Scaping to come back a few months ago (late spring 2025) to build a good-neighbor fence along our side yard and driveway. The fence is absolutely beautiful and sets the stage to our beautiful front landscape! The quality of work is always top-notch and couldn't be happier.
2024: We hired Cali Scaping to completely transform our outdoor space, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From the very first consultation to the final walkthrough, Johan demonstrated a level of professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail that is rare to find.
What stood out most was the quality of craftsmanship and the thoughtful design. Johan took the time to understand our vision and lifestyle needs, then delivered a landscape that was not only visually stunning but also incredibly functional and low-maintenance. Every plant selection, hardscape material, and lighting choice felt intentional and cohesive.
One of the most impressive features was the custom water elements they integrated into the design. These weren’t cookie-cutter fountains—both water features were uniquely crafted to complement the surrounding landscape and added a tranquil, resort-like ambiance to our yard.
Their team was responsive and communicative throughout the project, and always available to answer questions. They kept us informed on timelines and handled everything with a high level of professionalism. Even after the installation, they followed up to ensure everything was thriving and we were satisfied.
If you're looking for a landscaping company that blends artful design with practicality, delivers high-quality results, and treats your project with care, Cali Scaping is an outstanding choice. Our outdoor space is now a beautiful, serene extension of our home—thanks to Johan's vision and expertise.

Response from the owner:Teri, thank you so much for your review! It was truly a pleasure working with you to bring your outdoor vision to life. We’re thrilled to hear that the final result exceeded your expectations and that the space now feels like a serene extension of your home.
Johan and the entire Cali Scaping team take great pride in delivering personalized, high-quality landscapes, and it means the world to hear that our craftsmanship, design approach, and communication made a lasting impression. We’re especially glad you’re enjoying the custom water features—designing those unique elements to complement your landscape was one of our favorite parts of the project.
Thank you again for placing your trust in us. We're grateful for the opportunity and are always here if you need anything in the future!

We needed A LOT of guidance with our backyard. We generally wanted a modern feel and Johan did a fantastic job of bringing it to life.
His iterations of conceptual renderings helped us easily visualize our backyard and understand our use of space. Johan was very flexible and slender the time we needed together to get the job done.
His workers were professional, kind, and very skilled with some of the new ideas Johan would share with them.
We very much would recommend Cali Scaping and plan to use Johan on other job(s) in the future.

We love our backyard transformation by Cali Scaping! Johan and his team were professional, responsible, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Our backyard even won a Beautification Award from the California Landscape Contractors Association (CLCA) for its family-oriented design, and our kids really enjoy spending time in the space. We highly recommend Cali Scaping to anyone looking for excellent landscape work at a reasonable price.
Response from the owner:Thank you Wes!
We’re so happy to hear how much you and your family are enjoying your new backyard. Winning a Beautification Award from the CLCA was such an honor, and we’re thrilled that your space is not only recognized but also being loved and used every day by your kids.
Johan and the team truly appreciate your kind words about their professionalism and dedication. It was a pleasure collaborating with you, and we’re grateful for your recommendation. We hope you and your family enjoy your beautiful backyard for years to come!

We love our new landscaping!
Johan and his crew did a fantastic job executing our landscape design while we were away from our home for the winter. (He set up cameras so we could see some of what was going on.) It was a leap of faith and CaliScaping lived up to our trust in their ability to do the job.
The crew also removed and covered up some unattractive accent trim and painted the whole house. It was incredible and exciting to come back to such a transformation.
We will continue to use CaliScaping for landscape maintenance and projects on the house.

Johan and the entire crew take great pride in delivering quality work and earning the trust of our clients—it means a lot to know we lived up to yours.

Have worked with Cali Scaling for 2,3 years now. Johan is very responsive , knowledgeable , meticulate in his work, and fair in pricing. He’s done several projects in our yard and around the house. He also has a general contractor license! If you have landscaping needs don’t hesitate and call him!
Response from the owner:Julie, thank you so much for your kind words and continued trust over the past few years! It is always a pleasure to work with you, and we're grateful for the opportunity to collaborate on your projects. It means a lot to hear that you value our responsiveness, attention to detail, and fairness.
Thanks again for the recommendation — we truly appreciate it!

We had a wonderful experience with Johan and team! We needed help landscaping and adding irrigation to a section of our yard near our pool. Johan had really useful advice to help us make decisions that would be good for us in the long run. He has a wealth of knowledge of plants, our particular climate in the Lamorinda area, and all of the tactical and technical things around homeownership (he’s a contractor). We ended up having a plumbing issue that we needed to address to enable our irrigation and Johan had team members that fixed it that day. Very happy with the results and we look forward to working with him on future projects!
Response from the owner:Julie, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you on your landscaping and irrigation project. We're so glad to hear that Johan’s experience and advice were helpful in creating a solution that will serve you well for years to come. Our team takes pride in offering both thoughtful guidance and reliable technical support, so it’s great to know you felt taken care of every step of the way. We appreciate your trust and look forward to collaborating with you again on future projects!

I highly recommend Cali Scaping for all of your landscaping, hardscaping, and home renovation needs. Johan’s team transformed our landscaping, painted our house, and renovated a bathroom. We know we can count on Cali Scaping for our maintenance needs and more.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation Jessica! We're thrilled to hear that you’re happy with the landscaping, painting, and bathroom renovation work. It was a pleasure working with you, we're honored to be your go-to team for ongoing maintenance and future projects. We'll be here whenever you need us—thank you again for trusting Cali Scaping!
