Robert S Inman Landscaping

I would highly recommend Robert S. Inman Landscaping. I hired Bob and his team last year for a large, complex yard project, and the experience from start to finish was excellent.

Bob was recommended by my designer as one of a few qualified contractors, and it quickly became clear why. This was not a simple landscaping job. The project involved multiple contractors and trades, including a large second-story deck, a new pool and spa, along with a swim-up bar, sunken outdoor kitchen, retaining walls, and a complete front yard makeover.

Bob served as the general contractor for the project and coordinated all aspects of the work, including the deck construction performed by his structural subcontractor. Because the deck was directly adjacent and integrated into to the pool, the work required close coordination between the structural engineer, pool engineer, pool contractor, and structural trades. Since the structures were literally touching, sequencing, inspections, and footing requirements had to be carefully managed. Bob handled that coordination smoothly while keeping the overall project moving forward.

For us, quality mattered far more than speed. Bob was not the cheapest option, and likely not the fastest, but that was intentional and appropriate. Many contractors are willing to accept minor imperfections to keep a project moving. Bob was not. On multiple occasions, work that was already formed or underway was stopped, reviewed, and redone because it did not meet his standards, even when that meant rework at his expense. He consistently chose to do it right rather than rush it.

Throughout the project, Bob, his project manager, and on-site foreman, provided thoughtful, practical feedback and recommendations based on experience. In most cases, we followed his guidance because it clearly improved the final outcome. As with most projects, there were changes we requested as the work progressed. Bob was always upfront and straightforward, clearly explaining options and tradeoffs. Many of the changes involved things that are difficult to fully anticipate during design, such as additional lighting, outlets, and functional details that only become obvious once the space is largely built.

His crew worked diligently for months and was on site nearly every day. Even several months after the project was completed, we experienced a lighting issue following heavy rainstorms. Bob had his team out the very next day to troubleshoot and resolve the problem. That level of responsiveness and customer service, especially well after project closeout, is uncommon.

The project ultimately turned out exactly as envisioned. I would hire Bob again without hesitation and would recommend him to anyone undertaking a complex landscape project who values quality, coordination, accountability, and long-term follow-through. Thank you, Bob, for your hard work and dedication to this project.

We had an outstanding experience working with Bob on our recent landscaping project. From the start, he provided a very professional and detailed estimate, thoroughly outlining his process and scope of work. His extensive network for sourcing materials and supplies ensured we had access to high-quality options throughout the project.

We especially appreciated that Bob had his own dedicated team to handle many of the tasks, which made the process seamless and efficient. His strong relationship with our landscape designer made it easy for him to understand our blueprints and layouts, ensuring everything was executed according to plan.

Bob was attentive to our personal needs, making sure the project didn’t disrupt our daily routines. He was particularly thoughtful about keeping our AC units accessible during the hot summer months. He offered valuable recommendations along the way, and we were happy with every one of them.

Timeliness was crucial for us, as we wanted to showcase our new landscape before the holidays. The team completed everything well ahead of schedule, which we truly appreciated. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations; Bob’s attention to detail and expertise gave us confidence throughout the process.

Bob is a man of his word and consistently followed through on his commitments. Not only did we gain a beautiful upgrade to our home, but we also made a new friend and connection in the area. We can’t recommend Bob enough, he went above and beyond, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results.

Bob was amazing! He knows his stuff and is great at helping you design your landscape. He hires the best and sub contracts the best companies. He is very professional and gives you a complete detailed quote not just a number like most contractors. We are very happy with our backyard!

Bob, Thomas, and the whole crew are wonderful people. An absolute delight to work with, always friendly, helpful, and finding creative solutions to get the best outcomes in our project, converting our front yard from a dead lawn to a new gathering space.

Bob was recommended to us alongside a few other options. We really liked that Bob clearly cared personally about each project and the families behind them -- and that he was so dedicated to helping others with volunteer projects at local schools and around the community.

The whole crew was very skilled and hard workers. Their experience was invaluable, and they struck a good balance of lending their expertise and suggesting changes, without overriding our own vision for what we wanted the area to feel like. When we hit surprises along the way, like all projects do, they found creative, cost-effective solutions that kept our vision intact without breaking the bank.

They added a lot of personal touches to the final results, above and beyond what was on the paper designs, because they knew our family and our vision. It turned out even better than we imagined.

The team's unique combination of empathy and skill ensured that our family was very happy with the final results, and we feel like Bob is a family friend now!

Robert S. Inman Landscaping truly is in a league of their own and we couldn't be more thankful and happier with all their hard work, dedication and attention given to our property renovation. Complete backyard makeover and the plans were executed perfectly until its completion. Bob and his team always showed up on time, worked diligently, communicated well throughout the entire process and made sure to visit and follow-up well after the project ended. We are truly satisfied with the time and money invested on our home and we look forward to working with Robert S. Inman Landscaping again for our future landscaping projects. Front yard makeover next! Thank you again, Bob and your amazing team for an exceptional job well done. Go Dodgers! :)
