  Prior to choosing CLM, we met with 3 other landscaping providers in Hesperia/Apple Valley. We wanted to hear the expert vision and experience of each to see how they could transform our large backyard (just an ugly mass of dirt, no plants) into a relaxing oasis that we would want to enjoy every day year-round. One business never followed up with a quote, one provided a quote but lacked creativity and vision, and one provided an enormous quote probably to cover the overhead from all of their adult toys and cars that are hard to miss. Without realizing that 3 different family members had been using Contemporary Landscape & Maintenance (CLM) for the last 15 years for their landscaping and yard maintenance, we reached out to Rafael at CLM, and went through the same process as with the other 3 landscaping businesses. Following two visits to our property, Rafael quickly came up with a detailed proposal that captured everything we said we wanted. He walked us through his expert vision of the space, presented some additional and alternative ideas for consideration (with zero pressure), and broke down the timelines and cost so that it was crystal clear. Our landscaping project included many different elements, including: concrete (additional driveway, carport, area under large patio), turf (numerous options to choose from), decomposite granite, vinyl fence and gate, electric main gate, electrical (patio, lighting, fans, 240v set up for hot tub, pond power, plant and tree sprinkler system), cat-friendly plants and trees (fruit, different colors of bloom, etc), planter boxes, an incredible (!) pond with plants and fish, large patio cover including permitting and painting of patio, paving, plumbing (several drains, piping for outdoor kitchen), retaining wall, sprinkler system, reservoir for drainage, haul away, and probably more that I’m forgetting. Rafael was in constant communication with us via phone, text, email, and was always reachable. He kept us updated step by step, offering flexible options as-needed whenever various unexpected issues arose throughout the project (which is bound to happen). We did experience a few issues (patio roofing, patio painting, electrical) but Rafael resolved each issue completely and with full accountability, no excuses, no drama, just solutions. Even despite a few weather interruptions, the project was completed a week earlier than the original estimate. Rafael also completed the punch list that we put together in the weeks that followed completion of the project. He was committed to ensuring that we were completely satisfied. Rafael’s landscaping crew were top-notch -- all very respectful, polite, punctual, efficient, flexible (we threw a few changes at them last minute!!), clearly highly experienced at their craft, and always cleaned up the space. Rafael is a model professional and master of his craft. From the very first phone call he was transparent, followed through on everything he said he would do, reliable, fair, honest, kind, exceptionally efficient, and just an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. A rare find for sure. Rafael and his team executed perfectly on our landscaping project. They made the entire process enjoyable rather than stressful. They delivered by truly transforming our backyard into a relaxing, enjoyable, and entertaining space, that we never could have imagined envisioning the end result of. We use the space every day without fail. We love it! We will consider utilizing Rafael’s bi-monthly maintenance service (there was never any pressure from him on this btw). Additionally, we recently requested a quote from Rafael for landscaping of two additional areas of our property. Bottom line: We have absolutely zero hesitations recommending Rafael and his team at CLM. We are 100% confident that Rafael will meet (and most likely exceed) your expectations and ensure complete satisfaction. Cheers to Rafael and his CLM team!

  I can’t recommend Rafael and his landscaping company enough. From the very beginning, he was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and brought my vision to life even better than I imagined. The attention to detail really stood out — everything was clean, precise, and done with care. My yard has never looked better. On top of that, Rafael and his team were respectful, hardworking, and made sure everything was spotless before they left. If you’re looking for someone reliable, honest, and truly skilled at what they do, Rafael is the one to call. I’ll definitely be using his services again! (P.s he’s already doing an estimate for my neighbors after they saw his work)

  In our absence, Rafael did a very good job and took responsibility for the completion of the project. We converted a grass/elm lawn to a water efficient lawn. His knowledge of lawns is evident in his execution, and the design is pleasing.
