"Needed a refresh of crushed rocks around my home after 25 years of desert sun. Called Mannuel at Els Landscaping. Got a fair estimate and 4 days later his crew arrived and manually spread fresh rocks all around with pleasing results. Manuel is professional and accomplished every promise we discussed, on time and better than anticipated. Highly recommended without reservation."

"El's Landscaping is AMAZING! In fact, you can stop reading this review right now and just hire them! From my very first phone conversation with Emmanuel, I knew I had found the right company for my yard renovation project. That instinct turned out to be absolutely correct. Every aspect of the project was completed with exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship. Emmanuel is, without question, one of the most professional, personable, collaborative, and talented contractors I have ever worked with. Throughout the entire project, he communicated with me daily to make sure every detail was being completed exactly as I envisioned and to my complete satisfaction. He also was on-site most days to be sure that everything was being done correctly. What impressed me even before I signed a contract was his commitment to helping me make informed decisions. He personally brought samples of artificial turf, ground cover, and paver options for me to review, making the design process easy and enjoyable. His proposal was thoroughly itemized, so I knew exactly what was included and exactly what the project would cost. Even better, the final invoice matched the agreed-upon price to the penny—no surprises, no hidden charges. The entire El's Landscaping crew was outstanding. They were friendly, professional, hardworking, and incredibly respectful of my property. At the end of each workday, they cleaned up thoroughly and left everything neat and orderly. That level of care and professionalism is rare and greatly appreciated. The finished project exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be happier with the results. So once again, my advice is simple: Hire El's Landscaping. If you do, I am confident you'll be just as thrilled with the experience and the results as I am. FIVE STARS AREN'T ENOUGH!!!!!

"They did a fantastic job! We loved working with them."

"Emmanuel was very responsive and collaborative when it came to our backyard remodel. You should totally take a meeting with him and get a quote."

"On time and quality installation. Crew was delayed due to a supply issue, but made good on the estimate even though it cost more for the installation. Highly recommended over all the TV ads!"

"I am so thankful that I found El's Landscaping to do my turn install. Emanuel was quick to respond with great communication and pricing and scheduled the job on a great timetable. The job was very professional. Crew did an awesome clean up as well."

"We are among the first homeowners in new development in Palm Desert, and while we loved the house, the backyard presented a real challenge. Like all homes here, it was delivered unlandscaped, with a sloped rear yard and no natural view--hardly an easy starting point. We interviewed several landscape contractors and received multiple bids. Emmanuel Torres of EL'S Landscape, Inc. stood out immediately. While his pricing was competitive, what truly set him apart was the quality of his proposed design, his responsiveness, and his consistent, hands-on involvement throughout the process. Emmanuel understood the limitations of the site and offered solutions that were both sensible and visually appealing. What had been an awkward, unfinished space is now a backyard we use and enjoy daily. The workmanship was excellent, the crew professional, and Emmanuel's pride in the final result was evident at every stage. For anyone building or facing similar conditions anywhere in Palm Desert--we highly recommend EL'S Landscape, Inc."

"These guys did our Turf for our backyard and it turned out amazing. Definitely would use them again on any project."

"I contacted El's Landscaping for an estimate and they came out the next Jay. Emanuel was respectful and efficient, providing me with an estimate right away. .He explained the various types of artificial turfin dettail. His team completed the turf work in 2 days and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend them."

"It was a small job, but El’s Landscaping did great work! Very easy efficient, quality work!"

"Emmanuel and his team were great. Very professional, efficient, and responsible. I had turf and a bocce ball court installed. I would highly recommend them for all your outdoor needs. Thanks guys! We love it!"

"El’s Landscaping did an incredible job on my backyard. I was looking for someone who would do everything from turf, to cement, to fire pit, to BBQ. El did everything and worked with us when we wanted some adjustments and changes. It turned out great! Super happy with the outcome."

"El's Landscape does it all, a one-stop-shop! The project consisted of planting, irrigation, lighting, ground coverings, concrete, and artificial turf which is their expertise. The artificial turf looks vibrant, mimics a real grass lawn, and is comfortable to sit, lay, and play on. I had an extremely positive experience and would highly recommend. El's Landscape is: - Professional, courteous, and knowledgeable - Safe during COVID (e.g wearing masks) - Efficient as project completed earlier than estimated - Timely in communication and response times - Flexible with scope changes and can work within a budget"

"We have hired Els for our front & backyards. Very patient, his crews work hard & he understands esthetics."

"If you're looking to landscape your home, STOP! And read my review. You'll be glad you did! I called 4 companies to get landscaping bids. I was new to the area and didn't know anyone to provide me with personal recommendations, so I did what I've done before, go to Yelp! I reviewed contractors for a few days on line and after reading all the reviews of 4 companies I selected, I contacted them for bids. I specifically told each company my wants, needs and BUDGET! Budget was most important! It's ironic how some contractors ignore that word when giving you their bid. El's bid came in the middle of the bids I got. What impressed me was the responsiveness I got from the first phone call I made scheduling our initial appointment, during the bid/negotiating process, awaiting approval process, scheduling the job and during the job itself! El's worked with me in the bid/overall plan to where I was satisfied and when we scheduled the job, he showed up as promised. Did you read that! He showed up as scheduled! His crew was great! They were respectful of my property, cleaned the job site at the end of each day and were pleasant throughout the 5 day job! In the end, I got what I imagined and more! Excellent work, fair prices, easy process, guaranteed as promised.......I couldn't be happier! I'm a very prudent consumer and I trust my instincts and listen to them from the get go. Do your due diligence and get a few bids. Use friend's referrals that were happy with their projects, but consider contacting El's also for a bid, you'll be glad you did! As a final note, my new neighbor next door was so impressed with El's work and my personal feedback/recommendation, they've request a bid for their yard to be done by El's! The best referrals are word of mouth! Take my advice, call El's for your proposal, you'll be glad you did!"

"If you want a company you can trust, who does great quality work - this is the company to call!"

"They do a very good job"

"Enjoyed working with them. Great design and efficient execution. Dramatic before and after with new lighting and irrigation. Will be super easy care. Highly recommend."

"Wow"

"I found El’s Landscaping through Nextdoor and hired them to refresh my backyard and take care of a few updates in the front yard as well. I’m so glad I did! Emmanuel was fantastic to work with—his communication was excellent from the start. He responded quickly to my initial inquiry, came out to walk the property within two days, and provided a detailed, professional bid that same day. When I wasn’t completely sold on some of the original plant choices, Emmanuel met me at a nursery to hand-pick alternatives. He offered helpful advice on what would thrive in different areas of my yard, and I had a revised quote with my new selections the very next day. His crew got to work the following Monday and completed everything in just two days. They were prompt, respectful, and left the space clean. The finished product looks great—I’m genuinely thrilled with how it turned out. From start to finish, the entire process took about two weeks. For context, I’d spent six months waiting on a quote from my previous gardener before finally deciding to move on. I'm so glad I did. Big thanks to El’s Landscaping for such a smooth, professional experience!"

"Very Professional, timely and cost effective install of desert backyard garden. Very good knowledge of what plants will work well in certain spots. The weed barrier and irrigation system install was excellent and his team cleaned up leaving a 100% finished yard when they were done. He is busy, but showed up on schedule and finished on time. Definitely recommend. Below is a finished and pre landscaped shot of the walkway from reversed sides."

"I recently had El’s Landscaping install artificial grass in my backyard, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! Their team was professional, punctual, and incredibly attentive to detail from start to finish. They took the time to explain the process and helped me choose the best product for my space. The installation was seamless, and the quality of both the materials and workmanship truly exceeded my expectations. My yard now looks lush and vibrant year-round without any of the maintenance hassles of natural grass. I highly recommend El’s Landscaping for anyone looking for top-notch artificial grass installation and excellent customer service."

"Finding a reputable landscaper in the Coachella valley proved to be a challenge. We interviewed six candidates for our pavers, landscaping & electrical needs. From the moment we met with Emmanuel, it was evident he not only knew his craft but above all, he graciously agreed to collaborate with us from start to finish. Being a good listener who was willing to partner on a shared vision was vitally important to us along with good communication throughout the installation. He takes your calls and responds to texts promptly and courteously, Having been in business just over a decade, he along with his brothers Daniel & Miguel, form a terrific team of professionals. For our backyard, they worked tirelessly and always with a cheerful & friendly disposition. In summation, the service provided by El’s landscaping was superb and I highly recommend them- 5 stars!"

"After months of trying to find the right landscaper who could meet the needs and support our vision of an entertainer’s backyard, we found El’s Landscape on Yelp. Their stellar reputation is known in Coachella Valley as evident in their reviews. We totally agree with all of the other reviews and recommend them across Riverside County. Their work ethic, attention to detail, team and time management is nothing short of outstanding. - Emmanuel is responsive from the moment you reach out and he listens carefully to his clients. - He creates and develops a professional plan that aligns and optimizes your space. - His contract and phases are clearly laid out, his pricing is fair, totally reasonable and the timeline ideal, not aggressive and communicates with you throughout the process. -Details.Details.Details. They did not leave one stone uncovered... Literally. From the rock choices to cactus type, to the light wattage down to ensuring your turf color matches, Emmanuel was collaborative and educated us on the ideal choices— even providing multiple samples to compare and contrast so we captured a look similar to our travels to Mexico. Our pictures speak for themselves and plants were hand-picked by Emmanuel. Take note: Yucca rostrata (atop pool), Giant hesperaloe, Golden barrel cactus, Mexican fence post (lit up), Shark skin agaves, Agave parryi, Red yucca, ocotillos, nopales and 2 Olive trees (corners.) We give El’s landscape our highest recommendation and look forward to seeing his work prominently across any high-end boutique hotel to any mid-century modern home. He created the backyard of our dreams so much so every morning we wake up, it’s as if we are on vacation. Thank you Emmanuel and Team! PS - You can visit our backyard anytime to see for yourself - it’s magazine worthy (even the neighbors say so!)"

"I would highly recommend El’s landscaping. I contacted three contractors and only El’s showed up as scheduled on time. Owner Emmanuel provided a full-color, detailed plan and cost estimate within two days - meeting all my HOA and water utility rebate requirements. Emmanuel was very hands-on supervising his very hard-working employees every day. The project included installing front/backyard artificial turf, concrete sidewalks (and curbing); negating old and installing new irrigation systems; and installing rock/boulder hardscape as well as desert plantings. Emmanuel’s team completed the entire project in 11 work days. Great job and lots of neighbor compliments."

"El's Landscaping has repeatedly impressed with a trio of landscaping projects at my home. Their expert turf installation, strategically placed privacy bushes, and aesthetically pleasing rock arrangements have brought new life to my exterior spaces. So much so that at least a dozen other owners in the neighborhood noticed and used El's services. The standout element of El's Landscaping, however, lies in their commitment to customer service, led by the owner, Emmanuel. His willingness to make several visits post-completion to address any queries or concerns I had – even those seemingly brought about by other professionals – speaks volumes about his dedication to client satisfaction. This combination of first-rate landscaping skills and stellar customer service sets El's Landscaping head and shoulders above the competition. If you desire superior landscaping solutions, coupled with a customer-centric approach, I wholeheartedly recommend El's Landscaping."

"El and his team are great! From working with our ideas to the execution, El was very responsive and delivered on his promises. He was always on time and showed up when he said he would. I would highly recommend for all your landscaping design and installation needs. Thanks, El!"

"I can’t say enough great things about this company! They’ve transformed my backyard! Very competitive prices. Great communication every step of the way. I love that I have a company I can trust for future projects! Emmanuel is awesome!"

"Reliable, dependable and affordable landscapers that i can trust. I hired them to landscape my yard and did not disappoint they were definitely busy, but worth the wait and every dollar i spent. Thank you for accommodating us into your schedule and completing our job in a timely and professional manner."
