Sacramento, CA, 7/21/2014

To say I'm picky is probably an understatement.  I know what I want and how I want it and love to look at details.  

My almost 2 year old house came with a dirt backyard which over time became a yard full of weeds and dead brush.  Hubby and I finally decided to remove the fire hazard and look into landscapers.  Solinsky Gardens Yelp page (company name before merging to become Winsol Groundworks) was very impressive and to be honest, it intimidated me a bit because the scope of our project wasn't nearly as fancy as some of their other work.  I contacted Will and scheduled a time for him to meet with me.  When he came to our house, he described what he would do with our yard and it was almost identical to what I had in mind. He was very thorough in evaluating the yard and providing feedback. To do proper due diligence on my part, I met with several other landscapers, none of whom seemed as knowledgeable and thorough as Will. 

I had a good feeling about him from the start and told close friends and family that I wanted to work with him, but the price was holding me back.  After explaining our situation, Will suggested areas to modify or cut back on for the time being, so we moved forward.   

He and his crew did not disappoint.  1.5 weeks later, our yard is done and looks better than I ever imagined it could.  The extended patio and concrete walkway look great, the redwood planter boxes they built are high quality, the moss rock wall (which Will suggested as an alternative to other more expensive retaining walls) is so nice to look at, and the plant/tree selection that Will guided us through was spot on.  Whenever I was iffy on something, I called or emailed Will and many times he replied within 10 minutes.  I feel like a parent who is bragging about their child, but our yard looks great!! I highly recommend Will and Winsol Groundworks for your landscaping project and would hire these guys again for my next house ;).  Pictures to follow. [Yelp]

Will and his crew were prompt, professional and efficient.  They did a great deal of work in four days.  Everyone involved was top-notch!!!!  They listened to our ideas and made useful suggestions.  All contacts were helpful and friendly. They stand by their work and are replacing some of the lawn that did not flourish. The finished project is beautiful and has received lots of compliments!  We will definitely call on them again and will recommend them to others! [Angie's List]

I cannot say enough about WinSol Groundworks.  From the very start, they were responsive, professional, and accommodating, and they transformed my backyard from an ugly frog to a handsome prince!  

Will Solinsky came out, took measurements, listened to what I had in mind, and within a half hour, I had a detailed estimate with various options in my email.  When I decided on what I wanted, they were able to start the job within a couple of weeks, and they finished one week later.  David Winn came out several times to check one the progress, and was a delight to work with.  Now I have a gorgeous stamped concrete patio, a fresh green lawn, lovely planter beds, and irrigation.

It speaks volumes about a company when they treat their customers well, regardless of the size of the job.  My yard and budget were both small, and they were every bit as interested in working with me as they would have been if I'd asked for a six-figure landscape.  Needless to say, I did *not* receive the same sort of treatment from other landscape companies I contacted for bids.

I can't wait to enjoy the summer in my new backyard, and it's all thanks to WinSol.  These guys are top notch! [Yelp]

I first found Wolinsky Groundworks because the other landscaper that I had set an appointment with no showed, so I decided to give them a call. Will immediately answered his phone and said that he could be at my house within 15 minutes to give me an estimate on a on a concrete patio. True to his word, he arrived on time and was friendly and personable while answering all of our questions. Will gave us several options and was extremely patient with our last minute changes and budget limitations. After we decided on a design, we signed the contract and work began as scheduled. Will's crew went above and beyond to create a cohesive patio design that connected to the side of our house and his men even re-did some of the pavers in my driveway so that they would connect nicely to the concrete. While i cannot comment on the competitiveness of their pricing, I can definitely say that Will was very accessible, his men arrived on time and I was extremely happy with the results. I would definitely recommend. [Yelp]

Davis, CA, 5/15/2014

First, let me say - I have never written a review but had to express my appreciation for a job well done from Will and his crew.  He showed up when he said he would, he provided a reasonable bid when he said he would, when weather got in the way, he was in contact to make alternative arrangements and followed through on everything that was agreed upon. Professional and reliable.  The job he did for me was a front yard that needed some direction within a budget.  He made it look amazing.  The work was completed within a week during February and now, 3 months later, I still love it.

Pulled out old overgrown shrubs and red lava rocks in front yard. Relandscaped the front flower beds and added drip irrigation. 

Member Comments: 

Will showed up immediately to look at the job, and then had a formal bid to me in less than a couple hours. I was amazed. The work was done on time on budget and looks fabulous. [Angie's List]

Sacramento, CA, 4/23/2014

Have worked with both Will and David on 2 separate jobs with Winsol. Did about 600 square feet of DG first, liked them enough to hire them on for a 10x13 concrete slab that ended up going within the DG. They replaced and re-routed sprinklers as needed to keep everything watered (included in the price).

My contractor who worked with them to install the footers for an outdoor structure I'm doing was very impressed as well.

Their work is very clean and they're professionals to the core. I will hire them again when I have more work for them to do. [Yelp]

Sacramento, CA, 4/9/2014

The Winsol Grondworks team is so easy to work with - from initial concept to pricing to handling changes, all is done with finesse. The work crew was knowledgeable in all aspects of the job,  paced the activities carefully, handled rain interruptions and cleaned the work area every night.  Neighbors on both sides of our property commented on their professionalism.  They turned 3000 sq. feet of front yard grass into a water-efficient landscape with an interesting cement retaining wall, a fence gate that has opened the driveway and replaced grass with mulch,  decomposed granite walkway and stairs.  They replaced the existing sprinkler system with the lines for a drip system (to prepare for us to later add plants).  They had good suggestions for solving our drainage problems and made sure everything worked to our satisfaction.  Highly recommend David, Will, and their hard working team. [Yelp]

Sacramento, CA, 1/7/2014

I strongly recommend the folks at Winsol Groundworks.  Nicholas provided me with a reasonable estimate within a day of my request, and completed work on a broken pipe and stump removal the following day.  The team arrived on time, did a great job on the project, and made sure we were happy with the results before they left.  I will hire them again to do some landscaping later this year. [Yelp]

Sacramento, CA, 9/25/2013

We contracted with WinSol Groundworks to landscape our backyard in July and were so pleased that we immediately contracted with them to landscape our frontyard.  The before and after is unbelievable!  Our front yard is so beautiful and inviting and our backyard is now a lovely place to enjoy with company or just quietness.  The most important part of the beautiful results is how wonderful it was to work with Will, David and their crew.   From the moment we met for an estimate to the day I had to say goodbye was beyond positive.  The professionalism, respect, courtesy, and pleasantness was a delight.  I actually miss having them here! 

To complete the transformation of our backyard, we contracted with a couple of other companies as we thought it best to work within their expertise.  I  can honestly say I wish now we had asked WinSol Groundworks to take care of everything.  Although the outcome is OK it is certainly not extraordinary as with the work from WinSol Groundwork.

Call WinSol Groundworks is you are considering any landscaping work.  I cannot praise them enough. [Yelp]

Description Of Work: 

Gutted back yard and front yard. Planted shrubs and sod, and installed automatic sprinkler systems in both front and back yards. Installed retaining wall, fence, patio, and walkway in back yard.

Member Comments: 

Projects went fairley well, a couple of problems arose with the air conditioning unit and wall on side yard. Both problems were handled very well and worked out perfect. Everyday the crew showed up on time and kept us informed all during the day and at the end of the day they asked us if there were any problems or anything we wanted to ask. David and Will came by often to see if we were happy with the project and was there anything we wanted to change during the project. Will was told what things we needed and we left it up to him to design fron and back yards to what ever he thought would look best. We are extremely happy with both front and back yards.

Sacramento, CA, 7/30/2013

From commencement to completion our backyard landscape project was beyond my anticipation. Will Solinsky and David Winn were absolutely wonderful to work with. Their crew was courteous, respectful, hard working and absolutely delightful. As with many projects, unexpected issues surface. For us, this team was responsive and did everything humanly possible to keep us comfortable - even when it wasn't their responsibility. Winsol is so great to work with and the final result is truly beautiful. I am already planning to have them renovate our frontyard as soon as we can schedule it. This 5-star rating says it all! [Yelp]

Rancho Cordova, CA, 7/31/2013

Winsol Groundworks recently completed a job that was probably small in comparison to others they do but was a major change for my home in Gold River...turning an overgrown jungle that included a pond and a 'hill' into a courtyard with planting strips along two sides.  In addition to new drip irrigation using the existing controller, they installed lighting that includes an uplight into the redwood trees adjacent that takes my breath away!  I had a very clear picture in my mind of what I wanted and they 'got it' immediately.  The crew worked fast, got the job done in just two days, and were great to work with.  David, NIcholas, Omar and everyone else:  thank you! [Yelp]

6/9/2013

Description Of Work: 

Winsol did an extensive job for me.  I had them dig out old trees roots, put in new flower beds, new sprinkler system, large concrete dog run, decomposed granite for a side yard.  In addition, they put in new sprinklers and plantings for my front and side yards.

Member Comments: 

The estimate was reasonable.  They arrived on time and did the job in a week.  The transformation was nothing short of miraculous.  I've uploaded pictures to show you how beautiful it is.  I also put some before pictures in as well.  I had quite a few trees taken out and painted the fence but the rest is all Winsol.
Armando was the crew chief and he was great.  They did a lot of extras at no charge.  I had two dirt patches in my front yard due to having two trees removed.  They patched both areas with leftover sod from the backyard.  I had a couple of broken portions of my landscape edging and they rebricked it for me.  Again at no charge.  
The crew was careful as to cleanliness and making sure they put everything back better than how it was originally.  They had to take a gate down to get the baby backhoe in and when they replaced it they made it more stable than it originally was.  I didn't ask them they just saw I needed it and did it.  
Nick and his crew are a true class act!!
I recommend them highly. [Angie's List]

Sacrament, CA, 6/7/2013

7 days later, our yard was transformed from an embarassing mess to a show-stopping beautiful front yard!  Everyone at WinSol was awesome to work with.....even though at times I wasn't even sure what I wanted.  Jose and his crew were amazing.  They arrived early every morning and always left things clean and tidy at the end of the day.  Dave's customer service was also spot-on.  Will did an outstanding job choosing the plants, staying in touch and most of all, keeping things on budget for us.   We will definitly refer WinSol to anyone who needs cement, or in our case, brick work and landscaping done. Superior workmanship and customer service. Really! [Yelp]

Carmichael, CA, 5/23/2013

Will Solinsky and Dave Winn transformed our backyard from wild, brushy scruff to a serene garden.  Will has the artistic touch and Dave has the patience to create what a customer wants in a beautiful and practical way.  The crew started daily at 7am and left in the afternoon only after they had completely cleaned up after themselves.  We enjoyed the process as well as the product.  I wouldn't consider a different landscaper.

Sacramento, CA, 5/20/2013

We live in a Streng home, built in 1972. The back yard surface was just like our driveway. Over the years, a few stains happened, that I could not get out with a power washer. Our back yard is very tropical, with tall bamboo, queen palm trees, giant birds of paradise, 2 koi ponds, and a bamboo gazebo ......I wanted a new colorful surface, that would make the yard look more like a resort.  A good friend recommended Winsol Groundworks. He was friends with Nicholas Winn. I called Nick to come over to discuss what they could do for us. (He is a really good guy) ...
I went to their warehouse to look at samples,etc. ..Nick made me a sample to show my wife, and before we new it, we now have exactly the color and new  textured cement surface we desired .....Their crew did a very good job,  left it spotless, clean as a whistle. We now have a mini Hawaiian resort, in our back yard ...no pacific ocean however ....the koi ponds will have to do!

I can't recommend Winsol enough!  And it cost much less than I thought it might.

Aloha,

Need to refurbish or spruce up the yard? This is a full service landscaping operation that can help you with design ideas, hardscape and patios, and lovely garden facelifts and even sod replacement. Solinsky Gardens joined with Rescue Concrete to create a terrific partnership. 

Will Solinski worked with us to find a plan that met our goal. His team did a complete cleanup of our overgrown backyard, took out dead plants (and plants gone wild!) to re-establish the shape of the planting beds. They completely re-barked the whole area, installed new drip sprinklers, laid new sod, brought in new plants that Will help us select, and installed a new faucet so we could relocate our hose. 

The crew came promptly each morning, were quiet during the day - no radios (I work at home) and they cleaned up carefully. They were done a day earlier than they estimated - I got a whole refresh in three days.  

When I finally figure out how I want to extend my patio (still in the dream stage), I will definitely call WinSol so that I can work with this professional team. [Yelp]

4/19/2013

Description Of Work: 

We had Winsol redo our back yard landscaping which had been put in about 8 years ago.  The basic work included:
 - replacing the sod (1,100 sq. ft) including prep, fertilizing, etc.
 - redo the sprinkler system which basically amounted to installing a new sprinkler system
 - stripping all the old mulch off the planting areas and replacing it with new mulch
 - redoing two of the drains in the backyard
 - digging up the concrete to find a broken sprinkler pipe, then repouring the concrete in the area that needed to be taken out.
 - remulched the front planting areas and rerocked a side strip flower bed with gold rock about 3" deep.

Member Comments: 

We found Winsol (Dave and his crew) to be very professional and hard working.  We negotiated with them on items to include and the price for the work.  In the end we had $3,100 dollars for the planned work, but they discovered a broken sprinkler system pipe (that had been concreted over before we bought the house), and we paid an additional $500 to have about 10 sq ft of the concrete removed, the pipe repaired and the contrete replaced.  This was a critical problem and we didn't mind paying the extra to get the problem fixed correctly.  Overall we felt the price for all the work we had done was reasonable (but not cheap).
Overall, their work was very high quality.  Valentino (the crew supervisor) really knew what he was doing, and went the extra mile to check with us during the work on details.  For example, in digging out one of the drains in the backyard, they actually discovered another drain that had been covered over and they also discovered the drain pipes had been cut, so the water wasn't really draining from the corner of the back yard.  The replaced the problem drain piping, and didn't even charge us extra even though it wasn't part of the original estimate.
In another instance Valentino suggested round the corners in the cut out in the turf for a large fountain, rather than using square corners that we had previously.  We agreed that it looked much better with the rounded corners.
Finally, one of our concerns was that we were putting in new grass which would need to survive the hot summer months.  Dave said the grass came with a 3-month warranty, but when I raised the concern, he agreed to a 6-month warranty (taking us into the fall) on the turf.
I believe this reflects Winsol's commitment to customer satisfaction! [Angie's List]

3/31/2013

Description Of Work: 

Services Performed:
WinSol Groundworks removed virtually all of the existing lawn, plants and walkway in our large front yard and replaced them with a beautiful new landscape which includes stamped-concrete walkways, a new state-of-the-art sprinkler system, over 150 new plants, large rocks, shredded fir mulch and professional accent lights. I am thrilled with the results--if there was an A+, I would give it.  Everyone on the team worked seamlessly together, and finished this large job ahead of schedule.  It was a wonderful experience from
start to finish!
Do trust Will's ideas.  He is extremely talented and easy to work with.  He is hands-on, and when he is not on site, he has very skilled people (I can't name them all here, but one who stands out is Javiar) completing the work.
 
Do trust that David will go out of his way to make sure you will be happy with your choices for any walkways, driveways.etc. that you will be doing.
Do hire this team!  They really are incredible.

Member Comments: 

It went incredibly smooth and stress-free from beginning to end.   My only concern was what color to choose for the stamped concrete on our front walkway. Thankfully David was very patient with my waffling, and I am totally pleased with the result.  Our finished front yard has far exceeded my expectations. [Angie's List]

They gave us the lowest estimate, arrived on time and were done with the project in 30 minutes.  Thanks, guys!!! [Yelp]

Mather, CA, 3/20/2013

Winsol Groundworks came very highly recommended on Angie's List and responded to my request for an estimate literally within minutes. Will promptly set up a time to evaluate the yard and provided an estimate. The crew were very open to listening to our ideas and collaborating with us on every aspect of the project. We installed new stamped concrete, removed many overgrown plants, and re-shaped a large concrete slab that was once used as a basketball court. Their work surpassed my every expectation. The crew worked hard, cleaned up every day, and used high quality materials. The work was completed in about 3 -4 days. 

I would highly recommend Winsol Groundworks to anyone looking for both concrete and landscape services. They are truly the best! [Yelp]

Sacramento, CA, 2/19/2013

Winsol was recommended to me by a coworker to pour a patio slab in my backyard.  They demo'd my old deck, built the forms, laid the rock, poured the slab, and stripped the forms all in one day.  The slab came out great.  The crew was very friendly, even helping my wife put our kids' footprints in the slab.  Owner David Winn was great to work with and gave us an affordable price.

At our first meeting, owner Nick Winn and Landscape Architect, Leah, discussed possible options, within our budget, for our completely unfinished backyard.  About one week later, Leah and Nick got back to us with an unofficial plan for the hardscape and landscape, based on our ideas and our previous discussion.  Nick presented a detailed estimate, Leah came up with a beautiful plan for the softscape, and after our approval, the work began.  Start to finish, the process took about three weeks.  Nick was great to let me know what would be happening each day and who would be working in our yard.  We were pleased with everyone who was part of the process and very happy with the final product.

Description Of Work: 

My front yard was ugly! A huge overgrown Arborvitae dominated the front and practically concealed the grand Blue Spruce. The ground cover of El Dorado Gold rocks was impossible to walk on and radiated heat on hot summer days.  Will Solensky, from Winsol Groundworks discussed what I wanted, proposed several changes and suggested plants that would renovate the front yard but retain the better mature shrubs. The selection of plants include colors that enhance and highlight the Blue Spruce.
The crew removed the existing ground cover of El Dorado Gold rocks, removed an ancient Arborvitae shrub, installed new plants and incorporated a new drip system for all the new plants. The thick application of mulch means the front is weed free.

Member Comments: 

The workers were efficient and hardworking and got the job done in 2 1/2 days. They installed an irrigation controller that works with moisture in the air so the system only comes on when necessary and adjusts seasonally. The system costs more than a regular Rain Bird but is so convenient and efficient I think it's worth the extra cost.
 
The drainage for the front yard brings water to a low spot where too much water killed a small shrub. They immediately replaced it and revised the drip to reduce the water in that area. A second shrub, a small rose bush, also died for no apparent reason and they immediately replaced that as well.
 
I am extremely happy with how the front yard looks and several neighbors have commented on the great improvements.
Winsol provided excellent service in the overall design, implementation and follow-up. I would highly recommend them.

I recently had a disaster in my yard.  I had a busted stone patio, four different eras of keystone borders and a brick courtyard being pushed up by tree roots.  I was desperately in need of help!  I did my homework and gathered estimates, and Winsol Groundworks won.  They were gentle on my budget, and I was amazed at how they took my sketchy vision and improved on it!  They even made sure to preserve the hand prints of my children made many years ago.  They were hard working and very neat!  I am so thankful to have been a customer!!  My yard looks beautiful thank you so much!!

Winsol Groundworks did an excellent job on our landscape project.  Will Solinsky had many good ideas for the project, and was also attentive to our ideas for plants, arrangement and lighting.  He emailed a detailed estimate and worked with us when we asked for changes.  He and his crew showed up right on time and did the work efficiently, checking in to make sure everything was as we expected.  After the installation, the crew cleaned the area thoroughly, adjusted the sprinklers and left everything looking wonderful. We love the new landscaping, and have received compliments from our neighbors.  We will definitely turn to Winsol Groundworks for our future landscape needs. [Yelp]

Will and his crew were great and arrived on the agreed-upon time and date. Will took a lot of time with us to plan the project and pick out the plants. During the job, he made sure we agreed with the plant placement and made adjustments with our approval. The execution of the job was professional and thorough, and included some work we weren't charged for. I especially appreciated that the entire length of the drip lines and lighting wires were secured with wire staples. [Angie's List]

Member Comments: 

This is what I got when I worked with Will Solinsky and his crew: integrity, a good plan well executed and a pleasant experience.As new first-time homeowner, I was frustrated with my untamed landscaping. Not only was I was concerned about budget, but as someone with little acumen or interest in gardening, I didn't want to add to the time or dollars required for maintenance.Will Solinsky was timely in setting up the consultation to get the project rolling. He was sensitive to my concerns. He identified problems (e.g. privacy screening and shading) and offered sensible solutions. He showed me lots of plant and tree choices that met my goals and answered all my questions about how the project would be done. I really appreciated seeing material samples ahead of the project start.He mapped out a good plan, provided an itemized budget and revised its scope as requested. He was generous with his time in planning, oversight and follow through. He didn't hit every appointment time on the mark. but he called ahead to let me know. It wasn't the only time he was one time, but the morning start day when I needed him to be, he was. I wanted to offer flexibility because I appreciated the time he devoted to my modest project. The crew was hard-working, pleasant and respectful. They left things tidy each day and cleaned up after the work. A special shout-out to Dale!The flexibility in the process gave me a lot of confidence. During the actual work, we swapped out a tree, changed the location of one and decided on ground cover. On a modest budget, I chose to focus on the backbone of my landscaping. As I said, Will was sensitive to my goals for the project and the budget, but happily, he pushed a little bit with his expertise to help me make better decisions. I regret that I didn't have the vision or a little more budget to follow his ideas a little further. But landscaping can grow, right?Overall, I count the experience and the results among my new joys of homeownership.

I recently finished a project with Will and his crew and could not be happier.  They made some much needed changes to both my front and backyards including sprinklers, planting, and artificial grass (which I LOVE).  Will had great ideas and was very patient with me as decision making is not my strong suit.  They were always on time and very clean and considerate.  I can not recommend Will, Dale and the crew at Winsol Groundworks (formerly Solinsky Gardens) enough.  They are great! [Yelp]

Sacramento, CA, 5/30/2012

As you see, Winsol Groundworks has Solinsky Gardens to do their landscaping work. See my reviews (and reviews by other more-than-satisfied customers of "Solinski Gardens." Will Solinski is great to work with, and your landscape will thank you for it.

1/23/13:  I finally succumbed to an absolute craving for RED RED RED foliage in the fall. Of course I called on Will Solinsky, because he and his team have done such woohoo-good-as-it-gets work for me in the past.  In one morning of hard work, his team replaced my brown-foliaged tree with a maple that will be pinky-RED in fall. They added several new plants that Will had suggested, installed extensive stepping-stone paths, and  thoroughly trimmed and raked. 

The place now looks like a model home! and did I mention that they finished the entire job in one morning's work? Did I mention that the fee for all this satisfaction was extremely reasonable?

Besides being skilled at choosing and arranging plants, Solinsky and his crew are fantastic in working with stone paths and stepping stones. 

And-- I think this is good to know for any type of contractor-- you can count on Will to be present and helpful if you have any questions or problems after the job is done. [Yelp]

Sacramento, CA, 5/19/2012

I originally found them on Yelp under Solinsky Gardens.  Solinskly gardens has merged with a concrete company and now goes by Winsol Groundworks.  Will Solinskly and his crew were first class in my book. I had about 8 estimates and he worked with me on some items to meet out budget.  We've got a baby due any day so i needed it done sooner rather than later.  They were able to get us into the schedule and complete the project before our daughter arrived.  They started at 7am every day and worked the entire day for 3 days.  His crew were nice, professional, and they cleaned up better than any contractor i've ever seen.  they pressure washed every place they had driven their equipment and even hauled off some extra items just to be nice.

I don't find many places that i feel do an exemplary job too often but Will and his crew really did. [Yelp]

Woodland, CA, 3/24/2012

My backyard began as an example of what half finished projects and neglect can do. It was mostly mud with a healthy mix of heavy weeds. We called Winsol and Will came out the same week to take a look at our yard and talk about the project. My wife and I have no talent for landscape design, and Will was happy to offer several suggestions and come up with a plan that worked for us and was tailored to our home and our needs. He got back to us the next day with an estimate that was far less than I had anticipated. Work began a couple of weeks after that. I was very impressed with their work. My backyard is now someplace I want to be, rather than someplace I want to avoid. Their work was fantastic and they completed it in only 3 days! Their workers were very courteous and polite. After a couple changes and additions to the plan the job was completed for the price I was quoted. I cannot recommend Winsol highly enough! 

TL/DR: Great design, great price, fast, and gorgeous! [Yelp]

They truly liked what they were creating and it showed with their smiles and fun they were having doing this project, David went above our concerns about the color of the concrete and poured us a sample to review. He also sent us to see other driveways that he did which were five years old.WOW! The employee that did the stamping on the sample was truly a artist and he did much of the finishing on the steps. We appreciate all his caring and expertise.  Will made sure we had a detailed estimate and adjusted it when we decided on what we wanted.  Thanks to all who worked on the project. We highly recommend this company and are very pleased with the results. They also had to removed many large roots due to a large tree that was removed from our yard. Very happy to have almost all  of the roots gone. Again thanks to this company WinSol Groundworks it is a great company to work with on all yard beautification. WOOHOO!

Wow, my husband and I are very impressed with the transformation of our front and back yards from ho-hum to eye-popping gorgeous!  Will Solinsky came over to look at the grounds and to discuss what our vision was for the landscape and made alot of recommendations that gave the yards a flowing connected feel to them. The very next morning Will emailed a detailed estimate.  After answering some questions, we hired them and the next mornig the team arrived bright and early.  We had weed eradification, drip irrigation, lighting, landscaping, fencing with 2 gates, concrete work and groundcover work done so it was quite a lot.  The team was organized, efficient, respectful and cleaned up after themselves everyday.  Dale, the foreman for the crew, was an excellent communicator and answered any questions I had during the process, as well as Will being on scene daily and also readily available.  I feel like we are in a Sunset magazine house; my husband and I would definitely recommend Winsol Groundwords to anyone!

Great work-I am the proud owner of a new walkway on the side of my house and a driveway in front. These guys arrived on time, got right to work. This crew will fool you, if you have never done concrete work. They are  fast, competent and make it look easy, clearly these guys know what they are doing and are not afraid of hard work. I will use Nick and his guys the next time I have work and would recommend them to anyone. I was equally impressed with the communications. Using email rather than cell phone messages seemed to make questions and answers clearer and I was not left waiting for that, "important call". [Yelp]
