They did many things for us. They designed landscaping around our pool and patio. They installed shrubs, trees, and a retaining wall. They have very competitive prices and do great work! I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: We've been using them for the past 10 years.
Deceptive on spoken items versus actual items. Had unreadable/unclear contract than hid behind contract in not wanting to do the actual job requested and promised by this company. Owner 'Richard' have VERY poor listening skills. You would ask for one thing, and instead he would deliver a cheap alternative and claim he didn't know/understand or wasn't told. I would not use this person/company again and will not refer him to friends, relatives or colleagues.
Have never had so many communication issues with other vendors as I did with this one! Workers were very nice but Richard does NOT have good listening skills, nor does he use common sense. He hides behind his contract and nickles and dime you throughout the entire project. He infers you will be getting certain quality products, however this never happens and you will get robbed. Would not work with this vendor again!
Description of Work: Landscaping, lights, water, hardscaping.

Their work was Fine. Biggest issue was getting a response back from them. They are extremely disorganised. The lady who picks up the phone - either does not pass the message - or they are ignored by her son - don't know which. After wanting them to do another job for us, and not getting a response for more than a week - we went to another company. Have been with the other company ever since.
Description of Work: They worked on the irrigation system and Landscaping front and back.

They did an ok job. I kept them for a very long time which was almost a year. They came every month. Their work could get a little better and I was not fine with it. They were somewhat reliable but I probably wouldn't recommend them to others. They did their job but not on time and they were not consistent. Their price was high and not very good. They did a very average job overall.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Dick's Landscaping three years ago for landscaping and yard maintenance. I used them on a monthly basis for about a year.

ok was late many days took to long
Description of Work: did border for grass, irrigation ,and planted grass
We have had a very good experience with Richard and his crew. They were hard working people and easy to work with.
Description of Work: Repaired and refinished retaining wall. Built a flower box for the yard next to the retaining wall. And refinished the fireplace. Built a set of steps to access the top of a hill in the backyard. Planted trees on the hill and other plants. Planted flowers in the newly constructed flower box. Removed the existing grass in the backyard and added top soil to level the area out and added new sod. Repaired the existing irrigation system and making sure that all is working the current programming system we had.
Things went well with Richard. He showed up on time for appointments and spent an appropriate amount of time to understand what we wanted. We went through a few iterations of the plan and there were miscommunications when we tried to rely on verbal instructions, but once we provided diagrams or otherwise got things in writing, it went better. During the implementation, plan details were not always followed (e.g., path width, planter placement), and had to be redone. The work took a few days longer than predicted. Workers were polite and respectful of our property. There ended up being a small amount of rework, which was promptly resolved. The yard really looked great when he was done, and we've been very happy with it ever since. It's been six months since the work was completed, and the plants and workmanship have held up very well.
Description of Work: Richard was completing a backyard landscaping job that had been botched and abandoned by a previous contractor. He was cleaning up junk fill dirt dumped by the previous guy, repairing irrigation, replacing plants and adding new ones, fixing lighting, spreading rock, creating a rock pathway, and finishing a waterfall. He inherited a nightmare, the place was a mess. The job had been held in limbo for two years while we awaited settlement with the previous contractor via the Arizona ROC.

The finished product was excellent. The job was expected to be completed in 2 days. The first day there were only 2 crew members that showed up. We have many dogs and had scheduled 2 days off to be present, however the job took 3 days to complete.
Description of Work: We had our backyard landscaped. 1/2 of the yard: Old grass removed - sprinklers installed - sod layed out. 1/2 of the yard: Old grass and river rock removed - gravel installed with black plastic beneath.

This is the 2nd job I have had Dick's do for me in the past 12 years. In both houses, the final product caused neighbors to stop and compliment me on the landscaping job and ask for Richard's telephone number. Although he can sometimes be hard to reach, the quality of work is superb and he stands by his guarantee, his crew cheerfully returned to check on problems, replace sickly plants, and install new embellishments that I dreamed up. This guy does a thriving business through word of mouth. Every customer seems to send him at least one new customer.
Description of Work: Remove grass, former owner's do-it-yourself watering system, and huge sissu. Build large walled entry courtyard, incorporating blocks to match house's front elevation and decorative wrought iron. Pave courtyard with flagstone. Desert landscape front yard, plant nine trees (six desert native & three citrus), and plant numerous other native ornamentals. Install new watering system in front & back yards and new courtyard. Build redwood patio cover. Advise on choice of plantings and guarantee plants for 1 year.
