Fine it looks great.
Description of Work: He spread weed killer on all the weeds. He returned to remove all the weeds. He had to repeat the process a second time because I didn't decide on what to do with the area and the weeds came back. We decided to mulch the entire area, so he killed and removed the weeds and spread the front and back area with mulch.

Description of Work: Regular maintenance of our gardens on the front, side, and back of our house. No lawn but many flowers, shrubs, and tress that may need more work than cutting grasses. Lots of hand trimming, weed cleaning, and general maintenance. Gilbert's own brother and his crew come every other Saturday for the service. They keep everything looking fresh and new. Also, very nice people! Highly recommended if you need regular maintenance of you garden or lawn.

Gilbert and crew come twice a month to mow the lawns and trim the hedges. It's no big deal: I have simple requirements, and Gilbert fulfills them perfectly. I'm very happy with his work. ($100 per month)

Gilbert and his crew arrived on time on the scheduled date. They softly and completely removed all of the morning glory (horrible plant killer), weeds, shrubs, and fig tree from our back yard. They hauled away all of the stuff and cleaned up after the work was completed. I was amazed at how fast he cleaned the area. Our back yard is over 100 feet in width! I will definitely use his services again.

Gilbert was prompt, and hard working. We decided to hire him on as our regular bi-weekly landscaper to take care of the maintenance of the property. He is doing a great job.
Description of Work: he cleaned out some overgrowth in our new home that had sat empty and neglected for over 1 year. he also hauled it all away, and planted new grass, got our sprinklers working and cleaned up after himself nicely.

From the initial contact, Gilberto Hernandez, the owner, was very receptive and helpful in doing the entire project. I had requested an estimate based on a list I provided and he provided the cost of each part. Although the work started somewhat later than what I wanted due to his other work commitment, once started, the team finished the project timely. The work started on June 29 Saturday and was completed on July 3. A crew of 7 came on Saturday all day, 3 on Monday all day, and 4 on Wednesday for half day. The following points were considered very good. 1. they came on time. 2. Gilberto worked with me on changes to the original plan. 3. Gilberto discussed the options for plants that were not available. 4. he confirmed the placement of various plants. 5. everyone worked diligently the entire time. 6. price was reasonable compared to the other quotes I received. 7. the quality of work is considered very good. 8. the cleanup after each day was well done. 9. Gilberto came everyday and gave instructions to everyone. 10. for the changes made after the start of the work, he worked with me charging reasonable amounts. Given the overall quality and Gilberto's diligent attitude to do things right, I plan to have him do the weekly maintenance from now on.
Description of Work: Based on a backyard plan that was done by someone else, the plants and trees were purchased by Gilberto (included searching for the plants and trees and pick-up) and the entire back yard was redone. The back yard includes a slope which required putting in 3 sprinkler heads along with 2 fruit trees and other various plants. In addition, bark mulch was laid on the slope and the plant areas. Also, 5 larger trees were cut back and 1 large tree was completely removed from the front yard and 1 smaller tree was removed from the back yard. For the larger 2 trees in the back yard, tree circles of stone were installed with flowers inside. The existing plants were moved as needed to balance out the plants.

Overall, I am very pleased with Gilbert. He is easy to get a hold of and answers my calls and texts. He showed up on time and on the days that he said he would be at my house. He advised that he works on Saturdays and half days Mondays on new projects. He came two Mondays in a row and completed the work, as he said he would. He was courteous, knowledgeable and very patient. I am excited about Gilbert being my landscaper and hope to have a long lasting professional relationship. Further, I have called him to revamp my mother's sprinkler system, too. I recommend Gilbert to anyone who is unhappy with their current landscaper/gardener or who wants someone who cares about the work they do.
Description of Work: Gilbert was/is great. I asked him to revamp my front yard sprinkler system, due to the one I had wasn't working properly. He immediately recognized what was wrong and what needed to be rectified. He told me when he could do the job, how long it would take and the price. He changed several valves, added sprinklers to where they needed to be to properly water the lawn, he fixed broken sprinkler heads and he put seed and fertilizer. He also set the timer. He came up with a solution to fix a problem I had with dirt running onto the sidewalk. I recently had my backyard landscaped and hired him to be my landscaper/gardener.

The original clean up went very well were he did what he promised and it was also educational in that it confirmed our suspicion that the old gardener did not know plants as well as he said he did. Weekly maintenance has also gone well because we no longer worry what the gardener is doing. It is taken care of and looks nice. We no longer think about our garden, we just enjoy it.
Description of Work: We hired Gilbert to get the gardens and lawn cleaned up with new plants and to do weekly maintenance. He replanted what the old gardener had done to put the plantts in the location with the proper amount of sun for the species. He also properly trimmed and cut back that which needed it and made an effort to fix what the old gardener had ruined. His weekly maintenance consists of mowing the lawn and tending the garden. He plants the appropriate fresh flowers as needed at no extra charge.

Gilbert started in September and I am pleased with the service. He is careful when weeding around the plants and rose bushes. I told him that I am trying to go organic with the lawn and plant care. He responded with "no problem" and used an old fashion mower that cuts with a cylinder blade and drops the cut grass back on the lawn. I am looking forward to working with him since he listens and tries to do exactly what I have asked him to do, such as, leaf blower at a minimum, organic lawn care.
Description of Work: Gilbert comes twice per month to cut the lawn and weed in the front and back yard.

The work itself went well, and I am pleased with the quality and speed of the job. My only issue was that Gilbert was over an hour late to the job. Obviously, not a huge issue, but it did alter the schedule of my day. Otherwise, I was very satisfied. He was easy-going and efficient. Would probably use him again.
Description of Work: Very small front lawn and side lawn needed to be mowed and weeded. The former tenants moved out a month prior, so no one had been tending to the grass etc. Basically, Gilbert gave it a nice tidy-up.

It went great overall! Gilbert spent approximately half a day doing what he needed to do and our yard looks great! Saves me time and worry about having to maintain our landscape.
Description of Work: Gilbert removed dirt, bricks, trash, etc. from both sides of our house and turned the areas into planters so we can plant vegetables and trees/plants. The cost for that was $250. In addition, we hired him to cut our lawn and perform other yard duties on a biweekly basis. He has done a great job and we are happy with his work! Great service and reasonable prices!

Great. Easy. He was flexible even though he was very busy.
Description of Work: Weeded two large planters. two walkways and a back your border. Also planted new flowers, etc. Price included everything. I felt it was very fair. I now spend $50 per month to have him weed. It is worth it.

I have enjoyed having Gilbert do our initial garden set up. He is a pleasant man who knows his stuff and is eager to help. I had a landscaper, whom I also found on Angie's List, do drawings for our front and back yards. Gilbert was able to interpret the drawings and even recommended a nursery for us to procure our plants. He offered a very decent price for the work. He has been very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. He even fixed a couple of our sprinklers! Should we need any further gardening services, I would not hesitate to contact Gilbert.
Description of Work: Planting in front and back yards. Also some transplanting of existing plants. Removal of flax plant and a philodendron branch. Followed instructions from a landscaper.

They are a team of three gardeners and they did a great job. They come once a month.
Description of Work: I asked him not no use a leaf blower, since I don't want all the dirt from the ground to become airborne (plus all the noise and pollution) and he agreed (he just slightly increased the price from the initial quote). Cleaned all the dried leaves and plants, fertilized, trimmed bushes.
