Description of Work: The price that I was quoted for my yard work was more than I paid for my vehicle. I am not cheap by any means but the offer was outrageous. I fixed the sprinkler system myself for under 50.00 and they were going to charge 5,000 for a whole new system. The problem was a bad 13.00 valve. Very unreasonable.

Response from C & H Gardens Artistic Landscape & Tree Service
One man's ceiling is another man's floor. Not performing any work for someone usually indicates that there was no measureable performance to judge. I find it difficult to assess someone's capabilities unless they actually perform work for me. What this client asked for was a beautiful back yard and a system that would work for years, not a quick fix that solved nothing in terms of viability or the overall plan I put together. Sour grapes never taste good when they are out of reach. Kent

Response from C & H Gardens Artistic Landscape & Tree Service
Hard to understand someone sending in a negative review on a $300.00 Big Deal Plan from Angies list a year and a half later. I always try to answer my clients needs and wishes with my designs. It would seem that an unhappy client would have made her feelings known in a review or to me a little bit sooner. Sometimes communications between client and contractor can be tenuous but in this case, I feel that the response towards my plan at the time was over all positive. The job was complete and no work was performed afterwards.

C & H Gardens Artistic Landscape & Tree Service did a very good job. They came out June 14th. Landscaping, maintaining trees and cleaning up my backyard. There was nothing that I disliked, they were special. They were quick, they gave me the quote and came out the very next day and they did a really, really good job of sticking to the point.

It went really well, I would have C&H Landscape back to do more projects for me.
Description of Work: I needed a complete redo of the large plantings in the carport, the frontyard and the backyard First C&H Landscape moved rocks and layed irrigation for the large plantings in the carport. Then they completely cleared the front yard and planted new flowering and succulent plants, along with irrigation and applying a finishing ground cover and lighting for two large plantings. The front yard looks great, and best of all it takes care of itself with timers installed for watering and lighting. Then C&H Landscape started work on the backyard - they had to remove tons and tons of small grey ugly rocks, once that was done they layed pavers; then cut out a half moon flower bed, that turned out lovely; and they rounded off the edge of the pavers to create a smooth transition to the walkway of decomposed granite that leads to a side yard with two fruit trees and multiple plants, all irrigated and lighted; along with installing two fountains and completely planting the half moon flower bed and installing ground cover and irrigation. C&H Landscape pruned and shaped a large orange tree to clear way for an interesting walkway and also trimmed and shaped a hydrangea bush. I had to leave for some traveling and left C&H Landscape to finish the job while I was gone, they did a wonderful job and were always cheerful and great to work with, the whole process was fun and turned out just as I wanted.

I referred C&H to my HOA for some landscape drainage issues that were causing some very serious concerns throughout the property. Kent gave us a solution that we thought made sense and he was hired. His crew was thorough and Kent monitored the work throughout the project. After some heavy rains, the work done was proven to have solved our problems. We will use C&H for all our future needs, including landscape, concrete work, walls and general construction advise.
Description of Work: I had used C&H for tree trimming years ago at my home in Solana Beach and felt they did an excellent job at a reasonable price. Then I moved and had them cut some trees at the new location. Again excellent work. But then how hard is tree trimming anyway? I spoke to Kent about a block retaining wall that was leaning and cracked. He was very professional and I could tell that he was experienced so I had him do the job. The work was better than I had expected and far better quality than work I had received in the past from other companies. Since then I have had Kent and C&H do landscaping, concrete work and tree service for my homes and business. I recently referred them to the HOA where I live and his company has solved some serious drainage problems at the property as well as tree trimming, landscaping and retaining wall issues. I can honestly say that all the Board members of my HOA and the property management company have been very pleased with the quality of all the work Kent has done for us. I definitely recommend his services.
