We just completed a full remodel and addition to our backyard and substantial work to our front with New Scapes. We are very pleased. The initial consultation and plans were very well-designed and reviewed with Russell, the principal contact with New Scapes. It was easy to make modifications and gain input from his experience. We were able to see what we were going to get. We found the pricing to be competitive and in-line with premium quality product we received. As the project moved on we found the crew to be very professional. The quality of their work was exceptional. Clearly we were working with a very experienced team. I would certainly recommend you consult with Russell and New Scapes should you be looking for a landscape project to be completed. We are very pleased.

New Scapes contractors recently completed our backyard landscape project in Lodi, CA. This was a new construction home and backyard was a complete from scratch remodel. We decided to go with New Scapes because they had expertise to execute all aspects of our construction project for our house.
To include:
Relocating our perimeter fence line, construction of new RV access gate, new stamped cement for patio and walkway, patio cover, new irrigation system (both drip and sprinkler), drainage system, electrical lines for patio, hot tub and landscape lighting system, new grass lawn with stamped mow strip, plants and trees and trellises within rock base flower and two stand alone vegetable beds (with irrigation).
We received a great design concept from Russell Vernaza (Owner) in 3D format at the outset of project. Their workers were very professional, courteous and knowledgeable.
My Wife and I are immensely pleased at the results of the entire project! We look forward to many years of enjoying our back yard. We highly recommend New Scapes to anyone who is looking for professional results and return on their investment for their landscaping projects.

My name is Mario and I am a general contractor. I am the CEO of Sure Built Construction Inc. and I specialize in custom luxury remodels. I believe in providing the finest craftsmanship available in anything I do for my clients. I only use professional and knowledgeable contractors. As a contractor, I have worked with thousands of clients over the years and have had a few clients that were difficult to please, but in the end we made sure that we exceeded the expectations. We put our heart into what we do for everyone regardless of the obstacles put before us.
I feel very fortunate to have Russell of Newscapes as one of our subcontractors, and saviours because he is very knowledgeable. From the first time I used him on a 120k backyard project to the smaller 30k projects, Russell has been wonderful to work with. He is always on budget and schedule. I trust his work and use him on all my exterior landscape projects. He has great crews and the detail in the infrastructure of all my projects is solid. I have no complaints about the work he has done for me and I and as well as my clients are happy to have used his service.
I don't feel that I need to look elsewhere for a landscape contractor. Russell is well equipped to complete any job and understands the industry in his profession as well as I do in mine. I vouch for Russell of Newscapes and will continue to use him on all my projects. Should you have any questions about his work ethics and ability to complete the tasks put before him, please feel free to contact me and I can offer you plenty of references of his work.
He designed all my projects and presented them to my clients. As a matter of fact, he has done that for us and is about to do our landscape work in the front and back yards. It is going to look amazing, I know that because of the renderings he created, thank you Russell, your a great man to work with.

With so many contractors and landscape companies out there it can become overwhelming and very time consuming when searching for the right fit - at least it was for us. We ended up reaching out to New-Scapes after a friend had used them; the transformation on their backyard was incredible, it looked like a mini resort! Additionally, our friends had nothing but great things to say about the quality and professionalism of the employees.
Needless to say, we called up New-Scapes and had them come out for a free estimate; we also ended up getting a 360 degree virtual computer design of what the final result would be - we couldn't have been happier with the results. It was as if Russel (the designer) pulled the the images we had in our head and plussed them -it was beyond our expectations. (Side note: the attention to detail on the virtual design was spot on; they even incorporated an exact replica of our house into the design - the dimensions, paint color, windows and roof tiles were exact. This made it so much easier to visualize the final product.)
Five months later, my wife and I are very happy customers with the final result; we too have our own little oasis in our backyard now. There were a couple times they had to cancel and reschedule planned work during the process due to weather, but they kept us in the loop and communicated any and all set backs - which were few.
One other thing to note is their great custumer service. A day after the grass and plants were put in, I had trouble working the sprinkler timer. Russel came over that same night and walked me through step by step on how to operate it. When all is said and done, we would pick New-Scapes again - hands down. I would recommend them to anybody who is looking for experienced professionals that do high quality work.

This review is for a beautiful patio cover, stucco retaining and moss rock walls.
Russell walked our yard with us, listened to what we envisioned, took our vision and made it better. Our yard is multi leveled and had challenges due to slopes, but this was no problem for Russell, he took care of all the behind the scene permits, paperwork involving Neighborhood Services for the city. Total time consuming chores that we were grateful NOT to have to deal with.
The crew was great, professional and cleaned up the work area at the end of the day.
