I inherited them with a house I purchased. At first they were okay, but then got very sloppy and lazy to the point I had to replace them. My daughter started getting these late bills from Direct TV. She lives in the home where Gustavo did the lawn care. She doesn't have Direct TV. Never did. Come to find out, the Direct TV service was for a house in Hawthorne, Ca - 50 miles away from my house. Gustavo lives in Hawthorne. I also got a notice from the state saying that Gustavo was in violation of his license.
Description of Work: lawn care and maintenance.

Gustavo (owner) was really responsive. I called him and on the same day came over to give me an estimate. Gustavo returned with a crew the following week. The crew was courteous, professional, clean and worked quickly. I have two large water features that I hadn't used in years. Gustavo and his crew cleaned them out and had them working by the end of the day. I highly recommend Great Landscaping.
Description of Work: Tree and shrub trimming, perimeter bamboo clearing and replanting, water feature cleaning and repair (new pump).

Description of Work: I had a landscaping plan, so the job was execution, not design. The main man, Gustavo Munoz, responded promptly to my request for quote. He understood what had to be done, and gave me a price significantly lower than two other bids. The work involved replacing some shrubs, planting trees, and replacing soil in severely root-infested planting beds. The work was done promptly and quickly. At the end of each day, everything was cleaned up. He gave good instructions on the care of the new plants. I am quite pleased.

Gustavo arrived on time for our first meeting, faxed us a detailed bid the following day, and began and finished the work exactly as he promised. I was most impressed with his design abilities--he and his crew wrestled 5 tons of huge boulders into a natural looking terrace wall on a hillside that was very difficult to maneuver on. He then placed a variety of plants in a very artful arrangement, making use of our existing plants whenever possible. His plant choices were excellent, taking our suggestions and adding his ideas to wonderful effect. He was unfailingly cheerful and polite, and managed to interpret my and my husband's differing suggestions in a way that made both of us happy, which is a feat in itself. His crew did some backbreaking work quickly and efficiently, cleaned up after themselves, and the entire project was done in a week! We are thrilled with the result. It's so rare to have a project run this smoothly and have the finished product look so perfect.
Description of Work: 5 tons of Malibu boulders were added to our backyard hillside to hold topsoil and prevent erosion, three large King Palms were dug up and re-located, the existing (hard as a rock) soil was dug up, soil amendment was added, roughly 80 plants were installed including a 24" boxed tree, a row of bamboo was installed as a screen, two existing 50' eucalyptus trees were pruned, several 30' bamboo trees were thinned and pruned, a dense thicket of ivy was cut back, 5 ficus trees were re-located, a very large ficus was cut down and removed, several medium size trees were pruned, all refuse was hauled away, and the entire area was covered with bark mulch. In addition, he redesigned an existing irrigation system to accommodate the new landscaping, and re-programmed the timer system.

Gustavo and his crew are excellent, professional, punctual and reliable. They are also head and shoulders above every other yard crew and landscapers we'd used on the Westside of Los Angeles. He's a delight to work with and any time we needed something from a new plant or a trim or rubbish hauled out of the yard, he was always there asap. Anything we needed for the exterior of our home he just handled beautifully. We highly recommend him for landscaping, hardscaping, sprinkler systems, weekly maintenance and more.
Description of Work: Gustavo and his fine crew removed all our old, dead landscaping and broken sprinkler pipes and replaced everything. He did beautiful landscaping with the perfect plants, really nice hardscape with flagstone and all the cement work we needed, fixed and modified our wooden deck, outdoor electrical, a motorized driveway gate, and was a delight to work with. He also provided weekly maintenance which was vastly superior to the standard "mow and blow and go". He probably costs a little more, but is very much worth it in the initial installation and in weekly service.
