Shimono Landscape, Inc.

I interviewed 6 landscapers before deciding on Terry. I wanted a quality job and was willing to wait and pay for it. Terry started when he said he would and finished on time with me asking for a few extra things along the way. I have an existing koi pond and I asked Terry to put in a drain system that would redirect the waste products from the automatic filtration cleaning cycles to partially irrigate and fertilize my yard. The system is awesome! At first I did not really care to have any outdoor lighting but changed my mind and although I went a bit overboard the system, just like everything else, exceeded expectations. The yard went from totally unusable to being the best part of our home. It is like being in a park and spending time in our yard is now our favorite thing to do. Check out the pictures to see the wonderful work Terry and his crew did for us.

Terry and his team did an amazing job with our landscaping project.. He was on time and on schedule. He stuck with his original budget, only making changes when we asked for additional things. We've received many compliments from our neighbors on his work.

Terry Shimono was instrumental in helping us design and realize our vision of a beautiful outdoor space for both kids and adults. He listened to our goals, iterated with us through several designs, then had his team implement on time and in budget. We were happy with all of it, but want to especially call out their attention to detail on the hardscape (both brick work and wood decking). Friendly and effective, I'd highly recommend working with Shimono Landscaping.

Terry designed and landscaped our front and back yard, taking in our many requests, and transforming them into a vibrant yet soothing oasis. We interspersed native California and drought tolerant plants, river rock, a natural stone bridge, paving stone paths and rotunda. Landscape lighting extends our enjoyment of the back yard after nightfall. A handsome deck and arbor allows us to enjoy the most treasured feature, a waterfall, which brings a sense of calm and delight to the back yard.

Closing to the end of rebuilding our house (June 2015), we hired Shimono Landscaping company to start planning for re-landscaping. The goal was to have the landscaping finished at the same time as the house. Quickly after one meeting, Terry (owner) made a proposal including front yard, backyard, and street side (corner house). Terry stepped in for the fence work when the appropriate fence contractor can not come on board on time. The works for fence, water feature, and retaining walls were first class, both material used and the workmanship. The design of the landscaping was with drought condition in mind, yet naturally compliments the house. At the end, the landscaping was finished on the same day as the house. We got a lot of compliments from passersby. Terry is friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and very experienced. His crews are very skillful and hardworking. We highly recommend Shimono Landscaping company, for either small or big yards.

We hired Shimono Landscape to do a redesign, construction, and planting for our entire property, front and back. Terry came up with a design after listening carefully to our requests and interests. He considered all of the visual aspects of the design, paying attention to the view from every window as well as from ever corner of the property. His design includes a beautiful koi pond, a built-in gas grill, large slate-covered patio, a brick driveway, and draught-tolerant plants. We could not be happier with the design and the quality of the construction. Terry's crew is top-knotch. From Terry to any person on his crew, you can see the attention to detail. Superb job.

I hired Terry Shimono to help with a backyard design and then do all the work for a complete backyard remodel for a 20' x 15' backyard. This included taking out an old concrete patio and replacing with a new patio of pavers as well as an irrigation system and landscaping. Terry is one of the most professional and patient individuals I have ever worked with. He took time on several occasions to discuss the plans, look at patio options and shop for plants/trees. Not only did he meet deadlines and budgets, he also had a very helpful attitude during the entire process. One of the things I was most impressed with was the clean up. When the job was complete, the clean up was so thorough, it was impossible to tell they had been there. The end result exceeded my expectations and I am thoroughly enjoying my new backyard. I highly recommend hiring Terry without any reservations.
