Michelle, Kayla and John were awesome to deal with when scheduling this Fall yard clean up we needed done. They gave lots of options to spruce up or landscaping as well. So we are excited to work with them this Spring on new installation and design project. Will definitely use John's company again.

They come out weekly. The cost is $100 per month. I haven't compared the price because I have used them for 20 years or more. They come at various times. They have a day to do service and they do it. It's not at a specific time, just a specific day. It usually takes them 15 minutes. They have 2 or 3 guys here at the same time.

Like most people that hire contractors, we believed that Zaharis Landscape would do a good job and follow through if problems arise. That did not happen. I would not recommend this landscaper. The guys on his crew did work very hard but the owner (John) only showed up occasionally. Some of the problems were/are: • Suggested and planted the wrong type of plant (4 have died) for a few areas. They did replace one plant but blamed the plant dying on over-watering. I had changed NOTHING from their original watering set-up, except to turn water off when it rained. His employee doing the re-planting (his daughter) then told me that she was very busy and could not keep coming to fix these problems. This occurred after they were paid in FULL. • Planted 10 Climbing Jasmine in a row along a fence/retaining wall. 8 were the same size and 2 in the middle were much smaller and looked out-of-place. When I ask why 2 were smaller, he said that is what the nursery had given him and that the 2 smaller Jasmine would catch up. The smaller plants did not catch up and he ended up doing nothing about it. I was led to believe that Zaharis would control what plants were selected. • I have replaced the 2 smaller Jasmine and I am in the process of re-planting ALL the plants in the yard because they were planted to low, not draining correctly and the surrounding rock is too close. All plant replacements are at our cost -- plants, soil and fertilizer and effort. • Appeared to run out of rock (Sonoma Gold-not cheap) because he forgot that I wanted certain areas done. I have had to move all rock away from plants because of the rock smothering plants. After I moved all rock away from plants, it became apparent how deep (6”) the rock is in some places and therefore, it appears that he did not need to order more. This cost us an additional $254/material above original estimate. • It turns out that a Japanese Maple died because of over-watering by following Zaharis’ direction and then he blamed me (he accused me of continuing to water when it rained - I turned sprinklers off during the rain). He did replace it after numerous emails exchanges but did a very poor job of planting and I had to replant the tree. When I replanted the new Japanese Maple, it became clear that he just threw it in the ground and covered it with some soil. After planting the tree, he left without addressing any of the other issues that I had made him aware of. • A landscape consultant was hired at our cost to review the work that Zaharis had done and found the work to be sloppy. The consultant suggested that all plants should have been at least slightly mounded, considering they were to be surrounded by rock. They were not. - Job was poorly planned and managed by the Zaharis - Sloppy installation of drip system - Very poor “after job care” and blamed me or the nursery for problems. Clark F. - Roseville

When Mr. Zaharis came to give estimate he assured me his people knew how to pull weeds and what weeds looked like. He was suppose to be here on their first visit and instruct them on what I wanted done. He didn't show up and I had to instruct them. After walking them around the yard giving them instructions on what were weeds and what were plants and giving them a key to my backyard gate one of the two started a gas weed blower up and blew leaves and such along one fence line but never picked anything up. The other guy said they had to be at another location and had to leave and would be back in two weeks. When I started their service Mr. Zaharis said the guys would be here for 45-60 minutes per visit. On the first visit they were here for about 20 minutes and worked about 5 - 10 minutes. I called the office about this and we agreed that they would only charge me $20 for that visit instead of $40. Not good but OK. The next visit they worked about 20 minutes and they tried to leave but I reminded them they were suppose to be here for at least 45 minutes and I was not happy with their service. They moped around awhile and left at about 40 minutes. I called the office a few days later and terminated my service and asked them to return the key. I later sent them the n$60 I owed and requested the key. On 4/12/16 I called the office and again asked for the key and contact about the key. Have not received the key or contact from them. Beware of this company! They make promises and don't fill them and just try to ignore you!!

Thoroughly impressed with John and his crew. The yard hadn't been cleaned/cleared up for at least a year and their work was definitely needed. John came out and discussed the services and, after receiving multiple bids, I chose him mainly because of his responsiveness and his obvious knowledge. His crew came and spent the day clearing the bushes, plants and shrubs along with mowing and trimming the lawn. Both the front and the back yard look great but the backyard is especially more attractive now that it's been cleaned of weeds and leaves. I've chosen to have John's folks do bi-weekly lawn service along with some of the longer term major yard redevelopment my wife and I plan on having done. This is directly a result of the quality of work/service John provided and the faith we have in him already.

I was told that an appointment had been made for 10/14/2015 @ 4pm. I ended up having to leave work 45 minutes early in order to be available for this appointment and no one showed up. There was no phone call from this company to say why no one showed for the appointment or to reschedule. I understand that sometimes "Life Happens" and things need to be moved around, but to do a no call/no show on a customer is inappropriate.
Description of Work: I contacted Zaharis Landscape on 10/9/2015 and scheduled an appointment to get an estimate on some work that I needed done in my backyard. I was told that an appointment had been made for 10/14/2015 @ 4pm.

[Member Name Removed] is correct he made an appointment with us for 14 at 4pm. We do call the day before to confirm appointments if we have to leave a message we ask that the person call us back to confirm. The day of appointment if we still have not heard from customer we try one more time. If we still have not connected we do not show. The only thing I can think of that my have happened is we have your number wrong in the computer. If you would like to give us one more chance I would be more then happy to set up a 5pm appointment so you do not have to leave work early. Once again I'm sorry for this inconvenience.

JOB WELL DONE!!! I am very happy- now I can enjoy my waterfall once again....
Description of Work: I have used Zaharis Landscaping Services for my weekly lawn maintenance for 2 years. ROBERT, lead crew member, does an outstanding job of seeing the property is professionally mowed, edged, pruned, and blown clean. On Tuesday, September 15th, 2015, RON and DANIEL were sent to my home by Zaharis Landscaping to clean out a large rock waterfall above my swimming pool. My waterfall contained sand, pebbles, dirt, leaves, and weeds since I had not operated it for a number of years. Both gentlemen were kind, courteous, and very professional. They immediately assessed the tools necessary to clean out the debris. They worked tirelessly for one hour each to completely remove all the sediment, weeds, leaves, etc. from the deep bowl-like pockets in the waterfall. They also removed weed clumps growing outside the waterfall itself. They cleaned and raked the surrounding landscape above and on both sides of the waterfall structure. I am very pleased with their work and would gladly recommend them and Zaharis Landscaping to others.

Called Zaharis because my parents were hospitalized and the city was going to fine them because their yards were so overgrown. They called me back right away and agreed to come out right even though he was booked up he was able squeeze us in. It was very hard to get a hold of any landscape company and I appreciate Zaharis landscape for answering their phone but coming out so quickly.

The crew he sent on the work day were also personable and professional, and they did excellent work. I would hire this company again. They also keep things tidy and clean up after themselves. I was very impressed.
Description of Work: Zaharis Landscaping provided 16 man hours of heavy work cleaning up all of our yards. The owner first came to give a free estimate, and I found him to be very personable yet quite professional. I chose his company over the others I'd researched, because he was the most knowledgeable about plant species and plant care.

My 90 year old mother found Zaharis in the phone book and engaged them to recommend and install a hedge to block her view from an unkempt neighbor's yard. Zaharis recommended a very slow growing shrub, Japanese boxwood and gave her a quote for 25 one gallon plants and 25 five gallon plants. She chose the 5 gallon plants with a cost of $20 each feeling confident they would provide immediate privacy and continue to grow rapidly to achieve the desired effect. Here are the reasons for the poor review: 1. Zaharis Landscaping charged my mother for 5 gallon plants and installed 1 gallon plants. 2. They did not dig the holes deep enough to accommodate the plant's root ball. Multiple plants have exposed roots above the soil line. 3. Multiple plants have died. They have agreed to replace them. 4. When contacted, Zaharis insisted they installed 5 gallon plants. 5. When told that when a dead plant was pulled out and the hole was measured at 7 inches wide and 6 inches deep, Zaharis back-peddled and said that he purchased the plants at Green Acres Nursery and they were out of 5 gallon plants so he installed 2 gallon plants and the nursery charges the same price for a 2 gallon plant and a 5 gallon plant. 6. When Green Acres Nursery was called for a price check on 1 gallon, 2 gallon, and 5 gallon plants. They stated they do not sell Japanese Boxwood in the 2 gallon size. 7. A refund for the difference between the cost of 5 gallon plants and 1 gallon plants was denied. Zaharis said they would refund $100. Zaharis Landscaping Services is viewed by this customer as having unscrupulous business practices who has taken gross advantage of a senior citizen on a fixed income. Very disappointing, indeed.

I found Zaharis Landscaping a few years ago and have used their service since that time. I have always been pleased with their work. I pay the basic rate per month, but they will work with you to customize your service. As the owner, John, told me at the very beginning, they're not the cheapest service, but they are cost competitive with most. They are prompt in responding to any estimate requests, and give the estimate in writing.

We have used them twice. We also used them for a complete yard clean up and pruning about two years ago. That was a lot of work because I have a lot of stuff that had to be trimmed back. They are a family-oriented business and they are very nice people. They did a good job. There was one thing that they didn’t do that I ended up having to do and I thought the price was a little high. They are probably competitive but still.
