Tamate Landscaping

Paul just completed a project for me yesterday, and I am thrilled with every aspect of my experience as his customer. He responded immediately to an e-mail inquiry. He came to inspect the site and provided an (competitive and fair) estimate quickly. He answered my questions and revised as necessary, and then he completed the whole project in exactly the timeline he stated (just 4 days, almost a miracle), and the results are fantastic. He has a distinctive capability when it comes to asian influenced design, and manages to source and move some incredible rocks for his gardens (mine included a 900lb boulder). My project involved a complete tear out of my back yard, and the replacement of a deck railing and a set of wooden stairs. I now have a gorgeous lawn, a japanese rock garden, a stand of bamboo, and a deck I'm not afraid of my 3-year-old falling off of. He installed an automatic irrigation system, and even added some additional touches that weren't in the contract. Paul was accessible, responsive, and on site every day of the project. I recommend him highly, without reservation, and if you're interested in rock gardens, water features, or japanese-style garden design, you shouldn't look anywhere else.

A serene Japanese garden filled with good chi is what Paul Tamate and his crew created for us in just seventeen days! After decades of problems developing our front yard because of shade from tall buildings, a driveway made for model T's, cracked century old concrete, poor drainage and a failing fence, we were gifted with Paul who designed and installed a gorgeous Japanese style redwood fence, an eyepleasing and strong concrete paver driveway, well placed Sonoma rocks, stone lantern, water feature, a sinuous pathway and patios of quartzite, automatic irrigation system and night lights. The garden showcases our beloved ancient "bonsai" juniper and an old, bent rosemary tree, and all of Paul's choices for new plants are excellent.

We no longer have a drainage problem, and Paul laid two pipes underground in anticipation of electric and cables changes in the near future.

We are very pleased with our garden and recommend Tamate Landscaping without reservation. His hardworking crew also deserves accolades. We smile whenever we enter our lovely garden. And our neighbors do too.
