Why Us

Landscaping Done The Right Way

Others

They ghost you

You called four companies. Two never returned your call. One said they could come in three weeks.

They surprise you with fees

The quote said $12,000. The final bill was $18,000. They kept finding "additional damage."

They disappear mid-job

They said it would take 3 days. It's been two weeks and they haven't come back to finish.

The Rick's Group

Hardscape

I wholeheartedly recommend this company to any homeowner looking to invest in a landscaping upgrade. They handled the CMU wall capping and paved walkway with steps better than I imagined. Craftsmanship was exceptional.

Full Redesign

Definitely a great experience as we really had no idea what we wanted to originally and they helped guide us. The whole design and installation process was smooth and the end result transformed our yard.

Full Redesign

We finally did the full backyard transformation — outdoor kitchen, patio, fire pit, the works. The team was out within a week for the design consultation. They handled every trade in-house and finished in under ten weeks. Other companies wanted twice the price and five months.

Pool Deck

We got three quotes for our pool deck redo and this was the only company that actually explained what everything costs and why. No hidden fees, no pressure. Complete transparency through a 6-figure project.

Outdoor Kitchen

Our old patio was cracked, unsafe, and the outdoor kitchen idea had been on hold for years. The Rick's Group designed something incredible and handled the whole thing start to finish. We use the backyard every single night now.

Design Consultation

The designer personally walked our entire property and delivered a detailed design plan with three phasing options so we could budget it out. No scare tactics, just honest options. Ended up doing phase 1 this year, phase 2 next.

Full Redesign

From start to finish this was the smoothest contractor experience I have ever had on a major project. They showed up when they said they would, finished on time, and kept me updated the entire time. I could see photos of the progress while I was at work.

HOA Project

HOA demanded specific materials for our outdoor kitchen and the first two contractors ghosted us. The Rick's Group designed something that cleared HOA on the first pass and looks better than the neighbors. They fought for us when nobody else would.

Backyard Transformation

Five stars is not enough. They redid our entire backyard with a pool deck, pergola, and fire pit area in 10 weeks. The crew was professional, cleaned up everything, and the owner followed up personally after the job was done.

Financing

I was nervous about the cost of a full outdoor living project but the financing made it completely manageable. No reason to keep putting off the yard we actually wanted.

Commercial

We are a property management company and now use them for all our commercial hardscape and masonry projects. Consistent quality, fair pricing, and they actually communicate. That is rare in this industry.

Masonry Repair

Last winter's storms damaged a retaining wall and flooded our side yard. Three different contractors showed up, pointed at problems, and never sent a quote. Called The Rick's Group on a neighbor's recommendation. Best decision we made. Professional from day one.

Patio

I am 72 years old and have been taken advantage of by contractors before. They treated me with respect, explained everything clearly, and their price was exactly what they quoted. Not a penny more on a major patio project.

Guarantee

The one-year guarantee sealed the deal for us on a six-figure project. Other companies offered nothing. These guys stand behind their concrete, their masonry, their water features, and their plants. You get what you pay for.

Full Install

Scheduled the free design consultation on Monday, had the detailed plan and quote by Friday, crew started four weeks later, done in 10 weeks. I still cannot believe how organized and smooth it was for a project this size.

Quality Work

I am a general contractor myself and I was impressed with the quality of their work. Proper grading, real drainage, clean masonry lines, no shortcuts on the concrete. These guys know what they are doing.

Design Plan

After our consultation they sent a full plan with material spec sheets, plant list, and a detailed scope. No other landscaper has ever done that. I knew exactly what I was paying for before a single shovel hit the ground.

Great Experience

Third major landscape project in 20 years of homeownership and by far the best experience. I could track materials, crew schedule, and costs all in one place. Years ahead of the competition.

Peace of Mind

Our neighbor used a cheaper contractor for their outdoor kitchen and it was falling apart inside a year. We paid more with The Rick's Group and two summers later everything still looks brand new. You cannot put a price on work that actually lasts.

Design-Build

Drought-tolerant redesign plus a stunning stone fire pit and pergola — looks like something out of a magazine. They know California plants, they know California weather, and they know how to make outdoor living spaces that actually work here.

Full Property

We interviewed five contractors for a full front-and-back redesign. The Rick's Group was the only one who showed up with a real plan, walked every inch of the property, and gave us a written scope the same week. Everyone else just eyeballed it and threw out a number. Two months later we have a yard we are genuinely proud of for the first time in twelve years.
