I've had work done by AR on previous occasions. Very professional. AR is not "cheap" but prices are reasonable, work has always been thoroughly professional and competent. Will continue to use them, especially since I think I'm about to remove a 3-lot size lawn and install drip system for the trees.

.We had no idea what we wanted to do with the front yard, to make it more drought friendly. All the companies we had to come to give us an estimate and make suggestions, gave us little idea what we should do. Anthony Rios, the owner of AR worked with us and provided us with ideas and then completed the job in a timely and professional manner. His crew was very polite and were hard workers. They cleaned up all their mess and left everything in good order.

Working with Anthony and his entire crew was a very enjoyable experience. He communicated frequently about completion of the current step and what to expect with the next phase. He was very helpful with suggestions and yet very open to our wishes. Both appreciated. We were involved in every decision.
Description of Work: Our backyard is exactly what we were hoping for and still exceeded our expectations! We will be able to enjoy this extension of our home for many years. We wanted a yard that was low maintenance without a lawn. We hired Anthony to completely re-do our backyard with pavers, flagstone wall bench, pergola and water feature. The drainage and sprinkler systems were upgraded and lighting was added. All work was custom and unique to our yard.

Anthony did the work himself and did a great job. The weather was bad as I recall, but he didn't complain. As I stated he just replaced some sprinkler valves, but it was dirty and time consuming.
Description of Work: I got an estimate for having my back yard landscaped, but after getting 3 estimates decided that I was in over my head. I did have AR Landscapes repair some sprinkler valves, and he did a really good job. He's very knowledgeable and easy to work with and seems to very organized and enthusiastic. I would definitely talk to him first, if my circumstances allowed me to actually have the work done that I want.

A R Landscapes gave us an estimate and we decided to pick them over another landscaper b/c of the amount that they could give us for the same price. Anthony and his team were very professional and punctual. We started w/ a dirt backyard and after a week we had extended our patio, we had trees, a fountain installed and a lawn w/ sprinkler system. We did have to make some changes about half way through the project that increased the price slightly from the original estimate, but the team was still able to finish on time. A R Landscapes guarantees their work for a year in case anything goes wrong w/ the plants. We found A R Landscapes on Angie's list and we were very happy w/ the work that they did and would definitely recommend and use them again.

They have done a lot of work. They are in the process of designing some new landscapes, both front and rear. We love them. Not only is Anthony Rios professional, but he's on time. He returns phone calls and is competitively priced. They did another portion of some sprinkler repair for us including replacing the main controller box. They were very reasonably priced. We just had a very large redwood tree removed. In the process some roots broke our sprinkler, and we called Anthony. He was here within 30 minutes and repaired the sprinkler line for us. He did not charge an emergency call. He is honest, innovative, and listens to our questions and concerns and answers them. We are absolutely continuing to use him.

Initial installation appeared satisfactory. AR Landscaping did a very good job of installing a good quality sprinkler system which works very well; however, there was soil settling over some of the trenched areas and the lawn incurred considerable die-back. AR Landscaping wasn't sure what caused the die-back, and after a months wait due to a big job they had contracted, AR Landscaping returned to repair the yard that included filling the settled areas, over seeding the bare spots and adding additional fertilizer. The net result is the repair work actually made the yard more uneven and the lawn area never recovered and thinned out considerably more over the winter. I am unhappy with the law and have not called them back, as I have lost confidence in the organization and plan to repair the lawn myself.
Description of Work: Installed back yard lawn that included the following: * Trenched yard area and installed a sprinkler system for the lawn area that included adding a 1" sprinkler valve * Dry leveled the lawn area, added start-up fertilizer and compost mix, and wet-rolled the soil prior to installing the sod * Installed approximately 400 square feet of fescue sod

Anthony came out and gave an estimate for the work. He is a busy fellow so it took him a little longer to start than he initially estimated. However once the work began it was very well organized and Anthony returned the next day, which was a Sunday and did some finishing touches. The crew cleaned up very well after-wards. We were very pleased with the work and I plan on having him to additional work in the near future.
Description of Work: Anthony and his crew paved our walkway with flagstone. The area was from the side of the garage to our fence. The length was about 15' and about 3' to 4' wide. The flagstone was set in place with mortar and the grouting was also done in mortar.

Anthony was professional and prompt from the first time he came with an estimate throughout the entire process. He checked on his crew several time, all the workers were very considerate. All work was done on time and to our satisfaction. In fact the Anthony sent the first delivery of Sod back to the company because it was not up to his standards, something we would not have had the knowledge or contacts to do.
Description of Work: Anthony designed a sprinkler system for a backyard, leveled the soil and conditioned it. His crew then installed the sprinkler system and laid sod.
