Monji Landscape

We used Monji to redo our front yard. The big guy (owner) came out and spoke to us about options. We also had some dirt beds that we wanted rock added to. We ended up getting the turf front yard and river rock. Our yard is perfect all year round now! Now to save up and get the back done!

I think Monji Landscaping might be the best company I have worked with EVER for anything. Professional, very knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and always an immediate response to any question. I wish every business was as great as Monji. Plus I got a beautiful backyard.

A very realible and provide an excellent workmanship on their completed work. They are on time. We are very happy with the results.

We hired many tree trimmers over the years and its always hit or miss with results. But speaking with Mr. Monji, we knew we could trust his advice. Some people who only claim to be arborits. Monji is the REAL deal. One year ago, an "arborist" transferred a disease to our Liquid Amber tree with unclean saw blades. Now looks terrible- dying- and needs to be removed. Monji gave us expert advice without overwhelming us with a slick presentation like another Tree Expert with fancy commercials. Monji gave us just the facts and expert advice we needed. Now we can move forward comfortably.

I must say I'm biased because it's my family. You're definitely not going to find the best price but you will find the best value. For over 40 years Monji landscape companies have been turning houses into homes. Dependable reliable and the best quality products with crafsman delivering the best possible workmanship available. Most importantly they will answer the call today and tomorrow.

Very nice place - beautiful landscaping and a solid attention to detail. My dinner was quite tasty and those around me at the table enjoyed theirs as well. And excellent venue.

Monji does it right! We knew they were the only choice for our project as soon as we met with them. They exceeded every expectation we had. The staff is friendly, professional, & all around great to work with. We simply could not be happier with the results.

Without questiin, Monji Landscape is the premier landscaping company in Kern County. They do it right or make it right. They do what they say they will do and it is top quality.

We just had the pleasure of Monji doing our front yard. Our yard is about 3000sf and was mostly turf beforehand. We wanted a yard that was drought tolerant but we did want the typical gravel plus cactus look. Aaron was able to take our ideas and make them truly come to life. I literally took in a hand drawn sketch of what we wanted and he took that and made it look unbelievably good.

Our new landscaping is absolutely beautiful, extremely drought tolerant, and matches our home perfectly. The knowledge base of Monji crews is incredible. The attention to do detail is unmatched and the service has no equal. Ida would send me an email of what to expect every week with the crews. Vidal greeted me everyday and told me what he would be working on, he took time to explain things I didn't understand. I am absolutely thrilled with the quality and design that Monji brought to the table and i couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Aaron for such a wonderful experience.

Came out to look at our courtyard and give a quote on adding some features. They roll up in a new Lexus. Cool. What is interesting is that no matter how many times I asked for a quote to do tile, stain, or stamp on the concrete he ignored me and made an excuse. 'we don't do concrete work on this side of town because the dirt can shift. We would need to tear out your whole courtyard and pour a new one.

I ask if we can cut into the existing one to see how it is supported. he says that we can maybe do that. I've never met someone so uninterested in my business. So I ask a few questions. How did you get in to this? Family business. How many quotes a week? 20+. Now i get the picture. He left giving me a quote for 14K for a fountain and some potted plants with irrigation. Left out anything relating to concrete work. TLDR: He quoted me for what he wanted to do and how much he thought I could afford. Waste of time.

My wife and I dropped by the Monji Enterprises garden to get some idea on landscaping our backyard. Honestly, we weren't looking to hire a landscaper mostly because we are dedicated "Do It Yourself" people. However, if we do decide to hire someone, it will definitely be Monji! I am a person that believes in living life by the golden rule and am always so tickled when people treat me the same.

Upon first entering the gardens, there was a man about to pull out of the work area, probably heading to a project site. He stopped and greeted me with a cheerful, "Good morning, how are you today? Do you need help with anything?" I explained that we were just there to her some ideas. He told me to enjoy the garden, who to see if I needed help, help myself to some cold water or coffee, make yourself at home.

The atmosphere, vibe, and garden were all just perfect. After about 10 minutes, we were approached by the person he had told me to see if we needed help, Yesenia. Yesenia greeted us with 2 bottles of cold water and asked if we needed help. I told her about a shrub I was interested in. Yesenia went into the office area to return with not only the name of the shrub but, a print out of information on the shrub.wow!

As her and I finished talking, my wife approached Yesenia with a leaf that had been attacked by a pest of some sort. My wife explained how we just started being attacked by a pest that was leaving the same markings on our plants, wondered if Yesenia knew what it was or how we could rid ourselves of it and our arch nemesis the SPIDER MITE! Yesenia was honest and said she was not sure.

She took my phone number, promising to call once she was able to speak to the designer and get an answer. I'll be honest, I left thinking, "Ya, sure she'll call me." I figured since we had been honest about not acquiring their services, we were just another face, another non-client. WAS I WRONG! Low and behold, Yesenia called me about 3 hours later.

She left a voicemail stating she had talked to the designer and he recommended 3 in 1 Bayer pest and mite control. I was floored, what great customer service! If we ever decide we need help with our half acre backyard, MONJI WILL BE OUR CHOICE, NO DOUBT! Thank you, Yesenia and team for making my Saturday and restoring my faith in just a little human kindness.

My wife wrote a review about Monji out of frustration we were having with their lack of customer service and follow up in regard to a bad experience we had with hiring Monji several years ago for our landscaping. Through a series of sip ups and bad communication, we fell through the cracks numerous times when we would try and reach out to the company to help with the issues we were having with our landscaping post install.

At our wits ends with everything, my wife wrote a negative review on Monji because we felt like we had exhausted all other avenues in getting their attention in speaking with ANYONE that would help correct the wrongs with our service. After posting the review, we personally received a call from Dan Monji himself apologizing for the failure of his team and himself for what we had experienced with his company.

Not only did he come out and and take the time to listen to us, he went over and above and fixed many of the problems that resulted from their original installation. Further more, he went the extra mile and than placed fresh mulch down in our entire backyard as a thank you for our business. We originally choose Monji because they came so highly recommended and felt so discouraged after they had installed our landscaping and couldn't have our point of contact with the company ever follow up with us and deal with some of the problems we were having post install.

That being said, Monji himself came and delivered over any expectations we had and restored our faith with his company. I cannot thank him and his team enough now for everything they did recently to help with landscaping. Thank you again David and Amanda Davis

I would never recommend Monji to anyone. They are very expensive yet the work quality is extremely low. We spent $10,000 + and are 3 years into our landscaped backyard and we have lost about a third of the plants they planted due to not putting the nutrient packets far enough in the ground. The fountain they installed for us has had several issues with leaking and not working properly.

Just six months ago my husband re-did the rocks that form that fountain since they did not use plaster between the rocks and it was causing the fountain to leak. When they called the first year after the installation they sent someone out to review our backyard and we expressed our concerns and he said he would fix them. We never heard back from him and nothing was ever done.

I let it go for a year and finally called them to ask if they would come take a look and they said they would, but yet again nothing happened. The final straw was today when my husband called to have them look at the fountain since it stopped working. They said they had no record of us in their files. We installed this only 3 years ago and we had already been purged!

Since we didn't have a file, they would charge us $60 plus labor to come out and look at the fountain. That is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. We spent a HUGE amount on our backyard and I regret it. I would suggest looking elsewhere because you do not get the quality of work for the amount paid and they have zero customer service.

I had the opportunity to check out Monji Enterprises Green Wall (Patent pending so I was told a few times) at their display garden on Shellabarger, and I was very impressed. I've seen some quality landscaping before, but the green wall is something else. A living growing wall, with waterfall built into it, created to form shade to cool buildings in weather like we experience here in Bakersfield is simply BRILLIANT.

The presentation was great, with Mike Monji explaining the technology, the service they supply to ensure the wall grows and flourishes, and some of the niche markets they are aiming for with this product. I will definitely be calling Monji Enterprises for all of my landscaping and tree restoration projects, I wish I could afford this type green wall for my home right now, because it would be simply amazing with summer coming. I know this, Monji Enterprises are the go to guys for landscaping in Kern County.
