Gilbert's Gardening

On going, he & his crew also can put in sprinklers, pavers & small concrete walls, which I had him do a few times. His crew work my yard twice a month, $100 per month. For other work he ask for payment only when finished, he sticks to his estimates also.

Great, he doesn't do email. Text or calling is the best way to get a response.

Good for the first few weeks. When we returned home after 2.5 weeks of travel, grass had large, brown patches. Was not a water problem, as he had installed a drip system that is continues to function now. I immediately emailed him early July advising him of the problem and asked him to contact me. He did not.

Final product looked good for the first few weeks. When we returned from 2.5 weeks travel, the grass had several large brown patched even though an automatic drip system had been installed. I called to advise him of the issue, but he never responded.

He was on time, very responsive, and terrific. I will be using him in the future

They were ok, just wanted more knowledgeable gardeners...

Gilbert responded right away to my call and came out to look, gave me an estimate. When I was ready to have the work done, he came right way, when he said he would and with a crew of about 5 people, cleaned up the front and back yards! He also trimmed an avocado tree that we have that was growing close to some wires in the back yard. I was very happy with the work!

Gilbert opening stated he breaks the law in Manhattan Beach by using blowers and that the fine is $600. I have a half of a driveway and a small area in back to sweep and he insisted he would use his illegal blowers even after I indicated health issues makes it a health concern and that the dust, fecal matter and bacteria that is blown into the air (a quote from the state) is unhealthy for people. His lazy attitude and choosing to break the law -- would never use this service or recommend. Find a reputable service.

Gilbert showed up on time and completed all the work in one day. His team did an incredible job and cleaned up everything when they were done. It was amazing work at an amazing price! I am so pleased with the results. It's like having my own botanical garden! I even ordered a table with a fire pit and chairs so I can sit outside and enjoy the beauty! Thank you Gilbert and team!

It went great. Gilbert and his crew are hard working, diligent and professional. The pricing is also very fair and he doesn't try to take advantage of you due to California's present drought situation. Gilbert is also a man of his word. He had to come back and do something kind of small to finish the job; he did it as promised. If my present Gardener gets lazy; I would call Gilbert in a heart beat to replace them. I highly recommend Gilbert and his crew.

They did a wonderful job they cleaned up our yard real nice and not leaving any sorts of mess anywhere. They job was also done at a good price so we have nothing to complain about. Real happy with the service thank you.

Gilbert and his crew arrived on time. They took out the old grass put in the new grass and on top of it, he went ahead and replaced my sprinkler heads that didn't work and readjusted everything. His crew also weeded my pavers and then cleaned up everything before they left. The job was immaculate. Gilbert was also hired to do my bi-weekly maintenance. I HIGHLY recommend Gilbert!

Excellent work by Gilbert and his staff. They were on time, professional, friendly and hard working.

I explained to Gilbert before I hired him that I wanted to get my front and back lawns into shape. I had problems with Bermuda grass invasion especially in the front lawn. I also had sprinkler problems where the water wasn't hitting certain areas and the lawn was dying. I told him I to replace, and/or fix any sprinkler heads. He told me the price would be $160 a month, with him coming every other week. So $80 every time he came. This was twice the amt I had paid my previous lawn guy, but I felt it was worth it if he was going to take good care of my grass, incl. fertilizing when necessary. He's been coming for 3 months or so, or rather 3 of his guys come, and they speak no English. I've only seen Gilbert twice. Once I had to ask them to trim around the sprinklers.they absolutely tore up the lawn LOOKING for them until someone got the bright idea to actually turn on the sprinklers. Since then, the areas around the sprinklers looks terrible. I do a better job. So, for $80 a pop, they mow my front and back and pull any weeds up on the front lawn, not the back lawn, which they ignore except to mow it. They were also supposed to rake and pull up any weeds in the other half of the back yard, which they stopped doing after the first time. I've tried calling Gilbert numerous times because I want him here when his men are, and have gotten no response. Now, they haven't even showed up for 5 weeks! They are terrible, way over priced and undependable. I'm just waiting for Gilbert to show up so I can fire him.

Gilbert and his crew are fantastic. They are prompt and reliable. They even rescued a bird nest while trimming one of our trees. He also does regular tree-trimming so that nothing gets overgrown. His prices were very reasonable. We have been using his service for a year and are very satisfied.

The owner comes out to inspect the property and discusses your wants and needs in a professional manner. They all speak English. The work is carried out by a least four workers who do an excellent job. I am very happy.

Since this was the first time I have used this contractor and the property is a high end rental I was concerned about the work as well as the way the crew would work with my tenants. My tenants were extremely happy with the quality and thoroughness of the work ans well as the way the crew handled themselves while on the property. In fact they even helped the tenant plant some things that they had purchased in anticipation of the crew coming. Everything went extremely well and without and issues.

Was very responsive and conveniently scheduled our yard within a few days. Was very thorough. Bit of a glitch in the follow up scheduling, but nothing that couldn't be overcome.

Great service! My yard looks great and Gilbert is very friendly and personable. Always willing to do that little bit extra when needed.

This company is great. I have hired them for routine lawn maintenance of my front/back yards and they do a very good job. At one point we had a sprinkler break, and they came out on a special trip and repaired it. We also had them trim the trees back from our neighbors fence and they did a great job.

I called him and made an appointment and he came by my home at the exact time and then he was at my home again to do the job at the appointed time...would hire him again!

Always excellent. Our yard has never looked better.

this is the third time i had used angie's list to find a service provider and i am truly grateful for finding gilbert! i had previously used a DIFFERENT gardener in the summer of 2013, (based on YELP reviews) and after an initial positive experience, the weeks that followed were fraught with a complete lack of follow thru, phone calls not returned, they would not show up on the their scheduled day...it was SO frustrating! after 2 months of this, i finally decided to go to angie's list, and thankfully...FOUND GILBERT'S GARDENING! gilbert was complete opposite experience! he would show up promptly at our appointed times, to discuss a plan for our front yard. he would assist me, in finding the proper plants to buy, give us reliable bids, offer suggestions on what to do, and how to reach our goals. he and his crew maintain our yard wonderfully....adding fertilizer, trimming back plants, re seeding....all on their own! i can't say enough about what a fantastic job gilbert's gardening is doing! i HIGHLY RECOMMEND his company to anyone looking for a dependable, and knowledgeable landscape and yard service. the fact that he is SO NICE is just a bonus! :) thank you to angie's list and the people who take the time to share their reviews to help people find such great service providers.

My company hired Gilbert for a rental property. He showed up when he said he would. He sought out the owner to see what they wanted done. He was excited about being hired. Called me back after he had checked the job out and explained what needed to be done and his time schedule to get things cleaned up to the point where only maintenance would be needed. Of course he would do seeding and trimming of shrubs and flowers when appropriate. Spoke with the renters a few weeks after he started and they love him.

He has been really punctual and seems like he has been professional in doing a good job.
