Tarantino's Yardscapes

We hired Rick Tarantino to landscape our front and back yards after deciding to remove all our lawns last year. It was a two part project. Not only did Rick Tarantino listen to our needs but added his own suggestions and recommendations. The quote he provided was very detailed and helpful, which enabled us to decide which portions of the plan we would implement. Rick delivered what he said he would and kept us informed of progress continually during the 9 week project. We really appreciated the fact that he went our of his way to make our dream come true. He transformed a child friendly backyard into an adult paradise: fire pit, bar, fountain, bocce court, etc....We were concerned that removing our lawns would be a difficult transition: going from something that's all green to no lawn at all was actually easier than we expected. Rick Tarantino really can show you how beautiful a front yard or a backyard can be without having a lawn. Part of what was entailed in our big project was: deck demolition, excavation, electricity. plumbing, installation of pavers, building retaining walls, dry creek beds, tree and flower planting, outdoor bar and grill, etc.. We highly recommend Rick Tarantino for large and small projects. He can do it all!

Outstanding work/very knowledgeable and willingness to work with client on their input. Highly recommended; plan to work with again on the next project.

In 2013 we decided to re-landscape our front and backyards after 25 years, 3 kids, and many dogs later. I googled Windsor landscapers and Rick popped up first and we called him because he lived a few blocks away and we figured he could drop by more often. That was a good call and/or we just got lucky. In the last 2 years Rick has met all the kids and their husbands and wives and the latest dogs and others in our lives that have watched him work and admired the transformation of our yards. He still comes and goes through the side gate since he finished the job last fall and adds a plant here and there and tweaks the drought sensitive watering system, the pondless waterfall, the firepit, the lighting system and the patios. A few photos would do this review more justice so i'll get on that.

Rick is one of the nicest guys to work with and is very good at what he does. He's very creative, hardworking, and honest. His prices are very fair and reasonable and he is now working on our second home in Fountaingrove in Santa Rosa. We love his work and appreciate his work ethics needless to say we recommend him highly.
