AJ Criss Industries Landscaping

May 2023

I agree with all of the other 5 star reviews about AJ Criss. "I recently hired them to renovate my yard using plans that I obtained from a landscape designer. Not only did they execute the plans flawlessly, but they also worked with us to improve the plans and make sure we were satisfied with the end result. Throughout the entire process, they were great at communicating with us and following through on everything they promised. In addition, they were able to significantly reduce our water usage through their expertise in sustainable landscaping. They were able to transform my yard into a beautiful and functional space that my family and I can enjoy for years to come....read full review

AJ Criss Industries did a fantastic job on our property here in Escondido. We were having a bad erosion problem since part of the property is on a hill. They graded the hillside, put down a concrete base-class 2, added new drainage and retaining walls, and re-planted a hillside that just had weeds and old ice plant. The owner Anthony, and his assistant Lucia were hands on everyday. The foreman Leo was excellent in getting the job done with his guys, very skilled and professional. They answered any questions we had without delay, and the job was done very timely. I would highly recommend this company!

AJ Criss installed a fairly extensive paver system for the previous owner of my property. Luckily we had the invoice and contact information, as we wanted to add on to the existing back patio. It made sense for us to start here first. Our project ended up demolishing 2000 sqft of grass, adding nearly 500sqft of pavers and 300 sqft of concrete, as well as moving an interior fence line and gate, plus all drainage related to the project. Working with Tony and Lucia was a pleasure, and like family. Tony encouraged my son to check out the equipment they were using for demolition. Our bid was priced well, and Tony didn't nickel and dime us on some small stuff that came up during the project. We had two change orders that were handled quickly and efficiently. The crew was respectful of our property and kept a clean and orderly job site the entire project. They were very detail oriented and made some decisions that really made the work stand out. There were some things I was going to point out, and every step of the way it was handled the way I thought it should have without saying anything, which was refreshing. Communication was clear and detailed, especially regarding benchmarks towards completion. We hit a snag with some wood work that wasn't expected; our double swing gate had warped pretty severely in the summer heat. AJ Criss had our gate rebuilt to remedy the issue. I will certainly be calling them again for our next project.
