Excellent job pruning a wide variety of trees on our property. They knew what they were doing and were well equipped for the job. It expanded into a 2 day job at extra expense and in hindsight we should of narrowed the scope and simply fulfilled the Angie's List purchase of 3 men for 8 hours with a chipper. With our permission, they opted to load a truck with the pruned branches vs using the chipper which consumed a lot of time.

ok. Didn't speak very good English. I wanted certain things done first but they just seemed to do whatever they wanted. One person spent 4 hrs trimming 3 Bird of Paradise plants which seemed excessive. When they cut up the brush he accidentally cut through the cap on one of our sprinkler heads which we found before it caused any damage. They did do a fair job. Did not realize the trimming trash would be left behind.
Description of Work: Had yard trees and bushes trimmed.

Pedro of A Passion for Gardening and his crew were wonderful! Pedro came by to inspect and provided suggestions for renewing my townhome patio landscaping. He arranged a very convenient time to do the work. They showed up on time, completely cleaned out the old, and redid the borders of my patio with pebbles and succulents. They repaired portions of the retaining wall and the stucco that was in disrepair where my patio joins the townhouse. They also brought the stamped concrete back to life with a power wash. Very thorough, clean, and very fairly priced. They even hauled away the old outdoor patio rug. I would not hesitate to recommend Pedro and his crew!

The tree trimming crew did an outstanding job, prioritizing and completing a great deal of work in the time allotted. They were efficient and professional and cleaned up the space when they were done. The overall effect on the "curb appeal" of our home was dramatic! Would definitely use them again, if necessary.
Description of Work: We needed a significant amount of tree trimming on several mature trees, plus removal of some dead trees.

Well. Pedro was responsive to my calls and suggestions. His guys were very nice and thorough. The slope is a challenge to upkeep and so I decided to just place root barrier and wood chips. The wood chips are very slippery and already coming off the slope. The job looked good at the moment, but will probably require more maintenance again soon.

They were fine. They didn't trim one of the trees that they were going to. What they did do, they did a good job. The price was good. It took quite a while before they made contact.

It was fair. They are not equipped with high quality equipment. No shredder so had to make trips to a disposable place. It was probably not near by because the truck was home quite awhile. I ended up paying them about the same I paid Angie's List.

Pedro is experienced in landscaping and made it a point to have me show him everything we wanted done. Some dead plants needed to be replaced, and they did a good job of preparing the soil and replanting. In addition to pulling weeds, they trimmed two citrus trees, emptied and moved planters and generally got the front and back yards in good shape. Will definitely call A Passion For Gardening again.

The job went very well. The crew from "A Passion for Gardening" arrived when Pedro said they would and obviously they wanted to please me, consulting with me along the way about my preferences. At all times Pedro and his crew were polite, cheerful and professional. They also did a good job of cleaning up all the debris from the trimming, and they finished the job within the allotted time. My trees are now well-shaped, with dead and/or troublesome branches removed. They look healthier for the trim and ready for spring growth. I would be pleased to work with "A Passion for Gardening" again.

I did initially have some communication issues getting a time scheduled, but once we were face to face it went smoothly. They were effecent and friendly. When they were uncertain about a specific tree they double checked before proceeding. They got more done than I had expected and I am thrilled with the results.

Mr. Yanez and his crew were very professional, skillful and hard working. Our large pine tree was long overdue for trimming, as were other nearby trees. Not only did the team do an outstanding job on the trees., they also did a great cleanup job in our yard and our neighbor's yard, where much debris had fallen.
