As usual, the LHS team did an outstanding job at a great price!!! In a single day, Chon Padilla and his team turn our vacant lot of a front yard into another thing at our home to be proud of. Mind you, this is NOT a small yard, it's rather large so it was a lot of work. They tilled the soil, evened out the yard, prepped the dirt, repaired / replaced 12 sprinkler heads, planted tall fescue seeds and applied fertilizer. Three weeks later, we have a beautiful lawn, healthy and uniform! The planter came out great. All the plants are doing well due to LHS's prep work and proper planting techniques. Nothing to complain about here. LHS always does a STELLAR job! When you hire Chon and his team, you can count on quality, great service, professionalism, all at a great price! You will feel confident that whatever job they are doing, will be DONE RIGHT! Do yourself a favor, Call LHS, you'll be glad you did!
Description of Work: Put in a new front yard lawn. Installed a new planter against the house and planted 21 plants / shrubbery with bark ground cover.

Chon, the owner, arrived on time for our appointment about a week prior. We found him to be very friendly, warm, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with. After a discussion of our plans and expectations, he surveyed the landscape with us. Thereafter, he gave us a cost estimate that we believed was very reasonable considering the amount of work. He gave us a start date and his worker showed up on time on the given date and everyday thereafter. Each day his employee(s) worked a full day and did an incredible job notwithstanding the heat wave during that week. Chon was accessible at all times, and when we had a question about further work, he showed up at the agreed upon time to discuss the work. He never tired to up sell any work. In fact, he kept the cost down significantly from what we had in mind at the start of this project. A cost savings of thousands of dollars. And when the work was completed, he had adjusted payment downward from his contract. That was a first for us. We enjoyed working with Chon. We highly recommend LHS Landscaping. As a matter of fact, we plan to use him again for additional work.
Description of Work: LHS did major brush cutting and pruning along the side yard and a slope that ran along side the length of our home. He also put in a lengthy drain pipe and brick work from the backyard to the front yard, and landscaped a portion of the slope. The entire process took about 5 days. The brush clearance was extensive. He also put in drought resistant plants.

My first call for an estimate on the landscape plan was answered promptly and I was supplied with a written estimate that included options I asked for to control the price via email the next day. The call to accept bid was again answered promptly, contracts were signed and I was given a date to start the project with a two week to completion date. The work was started on time and finished on time. The worker or workers, depending on the schedule, arrived around 7 and worked as late as 5:30. One gentleman, in particular, was very creative and quite the perfectionist. All were pleasant to have around and were careful to clean up. am very happy with the results and would not hesitate to recommend them and will be rehiring them to do my driveway. A great experience. UPDATE...BEWARE A great experience until I realized the sprinkler system had not been adjusted to fit the new landscape. I have a walkway from curb to front door that gets well watered, a parkway installation that waters the front sidewalk, and lawn areas that don't get water. Part of the landscaping has died and I'm subject to fines for disregarding the water regulations. The contract does stipulate that the sprinklers will be adjusted. I called and explained my predicament and Chon made one visit (when I wasn't home) and left a note saying he'd return in fall with replacements for dead plants (haven't seen him and it's November) and couldn't improve the sprinkler situation. I've since called a sprinkler professional who explained part of the new installation was done incorrectly......and gave me an estimate of $1000 to correct each issue. So, before the work started I had an adequate sprinkler system and now I"m hand watering. Also, when I called the company to find out how to set up my timer I learned that I should have been given a remote with my system. I called Chon and mentioned it and he brought it by. Had I not called the company with questions I wouldn't have it now.
Description of Work: Rebuilt brick patio, constructed and painted new patio roof, built new front walkway, colored and textured walkway and front porch, installed flagstone path, provided and planted new tree, shrubs, and ground covers and filled in bare spots in lawn. Was supposed to adjust sprinklers to account for new design layout.

I scheduled an appointment with Chon to come out to review landscape plans I commissioned in hopes of getting a quote. I initially tried to email Chon via Angies list but after a day of not getting a response I called the office. Chon answered and we scheduled a time and day for the meeting. The day of the appointment we were supposed to meet at my property at 4pm so I left work early to ensure that I would be here to greet Chon upon his arrival. At 4:15 Chon had not arrived yet so I called him to ask if he was still coming. He assured me he was close and would be arriving shortly. At 5pm he had still not arrived and when I tried to call him again I got his voice mail. At 5:20 Chon knocked on my door and gave a half hearted apology for the "slight delay". I said it was more than slight as he was now over an hour late. I mentioned to him that I had read similar reviews about his punctuality on Angies list (this should have been my first clue) and that I hoped it wasn't indicative of the way he did business. He then smugly told me that if it bothered me that he could leave and we didn't have to go through with the appointment. I told him that was probably a good idea, shook his hand and thanked him for his time. With that - he was off. Bottom line is it appears LHS doesn't value their customers time (or in my case a potential customer).

I made an appointment with Mr. Padilla approximately five days prior to the appointment. Mr. Padilla cancelled the appointment less than two hours prior to our appointment and said he was on his way to meet me but discovered my home was outside of his service area. This was so unprofessional since he had plenty of time to Google the address to determine if he could accept the job. Yet, he chose to navigate the map for my address a couple of hours before the appointment only to cancel at that time. I left work early to make the appointment. He was very arrogant when I called to discuss this issue with him, and said something to the effect that he has to run a business and in doing so determine if the distance is doable. I understand but you don't make this determination shortly before the appointment. I suggest Customer Service 101 for Mr. Padilla. He may be a good landscapist but his professional etiquette stinks -- maybe its the overwhelming odor of fertilizer that tainted his actions on this experience! ****** In answer to Mr. Padilla's response. He outwardly lied with his response. I had no reason to be nasty to him although he missed the appointment. I called him back after he left me the voicemail two hours prior to the appointment to simply provide input on how he could have handled this situation. No profanity, that is not my style. All I can say is "Buyer Beware", because anyone who can so blatantly lie about an encounter is displaying exactly what I commented originally about his unprofessional mannerism. Good luck to you, Mr. Padilla. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh!

(Member name removed): I wish you good luck finding a local service provider. Due to the fact that I have been answering calls for my service company for three decades one gets someone good at gauging a persons personality, when I answered your call one of the first things you said was (using profane and degrading words) that the service company that originally installed your sprinklers was #@*! and unprofessional etc..... After hanging up and the phone and gathering my thoughts I told myself, myself if I work for this lady she will probably be talking about me with the same disrespect that she used towards her other victim. please read the word she chooses to describe me and she has not even met me. Dear ANGIE'S LIST PLEASE NOTE THAT BAD POTENTIAL COSTUMERS ARE AS ABUNDANT AS BAD CONTRACTORS. IF YOU KEEP ALLOWING THIS ANGIE'S LIST MEMBERS USE YOUR SITE AS A REVENGE OR MANIPULATION TOOL TOWARDS YOUR GOOD CONTRACTORS YOU WILL SLOWLY BUT SURELY LOOSE ALL YOUR GOOD CONTRACTORS. thank you.

Chon (the owner) was wonderful. His company did what they said they would do when they said they would do it. Chon was always available and always helpful. Truthfully, they did much more than they originally promised and never added to the estimate. These are great guys. They were very careful of our three dogs and I've never seen that before. I would absolutely hire them again.
Description of Work: leveled back yard. matched, constructed and added to existing flagstone deck, re-leveled pre existing badly done path, planted perimeter, laid sod, built two planters, made sure gates were constructed to keep dogs from getting out or getting into work.

They did an outstanding job. Chon Padilla oversaw the project and he and the whole crew were excellent. They were hard working and fast. The overall job looks great and I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: We had a 40,000 gallon pool removed by another company. We then hired LHS to put in a new patio, trees, lighting system, cement work, and landscaping in its place. They also put in an elaborate irrigation system with timers.

I had high hopes for this company after reading all the great reviews and the fact that last week Chon answered his phone at 9pm. We had a nice conversation. Set up for him to come to my home on Monday, October the 21st at 5pm. Well I rushed home from work with 10 minutes to spare for a snack then waited, and waited and waited for Chon to show up. I finally called him at 5:40pm to see if he was on his way. He did not even remember who I was nor the fact that he had set up an appointment with me! Ok, stupid me gives him another chance to come today, Tuesday at 3pm. I gave him my address, again. So now it is Tuesday. 3pm comes and goes and no Chon!!!! Am I a fool or what! I waited until 4:15. No call, no show, no nothing!!! So I finally had to leave my house for work. I could not wait any longer. Someone on my property tells me this guy tries to show up at my front gate after 5:30pm! Unbelievable. Clearly this person has no respect for other peoples time. Not to mention he lost a good $50k+ job. Unreal.

[removed members name] with all due respect I will try and explain what happen in respect to why I could not make it on time to your estimate. First of all I am sorry, I am not perfect and never will be. I am not an important person as you and your time seem to be. I am just a Landscaper a very experience landscaper 30 yrs in buss. I wish I had been in time just so I would not had this review discouraging possible future clients. This is my Story: The day of first appointment an 92yr 0dl customers from Long Beach calls me that her front yard sprinkler valves main pipe was broken and loosing water. She reminds me that last year her water bill for July had been $ 480 . Its 3hrs to your 1st schedule meeting and I decide to go & try fix her main line and then make it to your estimate. I was happy that I had helped my customer I had worked for at least 22yrs but worried that it was too late make it to your residence. I billed $65.00 for line repair its not as much as your $50.000 possible job but it felt good helping this lady with her sprinkler repair. The 2nd day of our schedule meeting I allowed my self close to 1 1/2 hr from Newport to your residence driving a large F350 hauling a 14ft trailer. Then I get to The 710 fwy and it takes over 1 hr from there to your gated residence. I get there 30 minutes later 3 phone call to you no answer. My point to all future clients of my services is please be considerate of all contractors most of us are hard working with many things consuming our daily hrs. Respectfully Chon

This is a very reliable company and we had a great experience. We started with a landscape plan and called for a few estimates. Half the companies didn't even bother to show up--chon did show up--on time--and had the best price. The entire project took 3 1/2 weeks, which was a little more than the three weeks initial estimate because we changed some things as the project went along. Most of the work was done by two guys, with more people on days that were busy, like during the initial demo, laying sod, etc. The project started with a long block wall being put up -- maybe 50 or 60 feet long and 6 ft high. That took about a week or a little more but they did a great job. They dug out several trees and shrubs by the roots so we could plant other things. They are quite efficient and that work goes quick. During this time, the old lawns were sprayed with roundup so we could put new sod. They followed this up with the cement work, covering another area with gravel, putting in the new plants and sprinklers. One thing that really stands out. We made several changes as the project went along, adding and changing plants, adding sprinklers to a new area, etc. They had no problem with making these changes, and while we paid some extra cost, they did not nickel and dime us on every change like some contractors do. In the end, the yards are beautiful, it was done professionally--and on budget. I highly recommend Chon and his team. ,
Description of Work: Built a block wall, put down a cement pad for a BBQ, installed a drain line to the curb, new sod in front and back, Moved a big palm, removed old trees and shrubs, installed new plants and put in sprinklers.

They did a poor job, it looked like they never came and did anything at all. This is my income property the curb appeal is very important and the property never looked so bad in 20 years and cost $60 per month more.
Description of Work: This was a monthly maintenance contract for weekly landscape services. This company bid the job then sends different sub contract labor to provide the services, this sub contractor did not want to provide the services after he saw the job site he wanted more money. I had to agree as I had dismissed my previous landscapers.

I HAVE BEEN IN THIS BUSINESS FOR 27 YRS, IT ONLY TAKES ME SECONDS TO CLOSELY CALCULATE COST OF MOST LANDSCAPE PROJECTS. PLEASE VERIFY THAT MY COMPANY WAS THE COMPANY YOU CALLED, BECAUSE THIS IS HOW I PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY AND THIS TYPE OF REVIEW DOES NOT HELP ANYBODY.

They came out on the scheduled date to give me an estimate. However, they were supposed to come Thursday to perform the work and they didn't show up. After contacting them, he said he would be here Friday at 1. When he arrived, he started trimming my bush instead of removing it. I had him stop. I asked why he wasn't removing the bush and he said they don't do that type of work. I said ok and moved to the sprinkler system. He then proceeded to tell me that I need a new timer. I didn't need a new timer, I just needed it adjusted. I didn't have them do any work for me and was not charged for anything. I was just curious to why they gave me an estimate for work they actually can't perform. I gave the man a call and asked why, but he hung up on me.
Description of Work: I needed the timer on my sprinklers adjusted as well as a bush that needed to be taken out.

This is the second time we've had LHS perform work at our home. Mr Padilla and his team were just as AMAZING this time as they were the first time. The work was done qiuckly, accurately and in a timely, professional manner. They were on time and cleaned up after the job was done. When thay were finished, you couldn't even tell they were ever there. What we were left with is a BEAUTIFUL new fence/gate as well as gorgeous new plants and a new tree. We could hardly tell they were even here as Mr. Padilla and his team were so quiet while working. NO blasting radios or loud voices that would disturb the neighbors. There seems to be nothing overlooked by the LHS team when doing a job! On top of this EXCELLENT work quality comes VERY reasonable pricing! It stunning the quality of work you get for such a good price. We would STRONGLY recommend to anyone that you call Mr. Padilla and the LHS team for an estimate. They do it all and they do it TOP NOTCH! Do yourself a favor and hire LHS Landscaping. You'll be glad you did!

I'd yanked out my front yawn a few years ago, planted some drought-tolerant native CA flowering bushes and also installed a drip irrigation system. One of the sprinkler heads had broken recently, I'd also thrown my back out a few weeks ago so the yard was looking pretty rough from lack of attention. My house is up for Mills Act inspection, a historical district tax break/civic pride incentive. I wanted to make the best impression possible and needed a good weeding done as the inspection was looming. LHS was the 4th landscaper I contacted after two I emailed who never bothered to respond, and one who made an appointment with me and never showed up, or thought to call me back. When Chon showed up this past Tuesday night after fighting traffic he was patient, kind, listened to my needs and offered up some very good suggestions. He promised to come by on Thursday to do the work. Imagine my delight when, on Thursday morning, I pulled out of my garage and saw a beautifully-weeded, freshly re-mulched front yard. Not only did he come by a day earlier than promised, but his crew left the yard cleaner than they found it, and went above and beyond in the little unexpected details they attended to. Needless to say my faith in contractors has been restored a hundredfold, I've found my new landscaper for regular maintenance and have a few more yard projects that I know Chon and his crew will be able to help me with, and knock out of the park as well
Description of Work: Chon and crew sprayed, weeded out and de-grassed my mulch-topped front yard landscaping. They trimmed and edged, leveled the front sidewalk strips and fixed a broken pipe/sprinkler head, installing it lower this time so it wouldn't be easily broken again.

In the past, we have had some bad experiences with some contractors to say the least. But we are THRILLED to report that LHS Landscaping Services is without a shadow of a doubt, THE BEST CONTRACTOR we have ever hired! Our first meeting with owner Chon Padilla went GREAT and it only got better from there. His professionalism and good nature came through immediately. We were put at ease right away. Chon Padilla is very personable. He isn't pushy, he LISTENS to what his customers want in their project. He doesn't try to change your mind on projects/ideas, he does however offer many suggestions that are tremendously helpful to achieve your objectives. His crew started the very next day after we signed the contract with Mr. Padilla. They were here every morning at 7-7:30am to get going and didn't leave until well into the evening. They kept working until the job was finished each day. They cleaned up thoroughly EVERYDAY after work before they left. Mr. Padilla's crew didn't bother us in any way, were always polite, courteous, and professional. The was no music, yelling, or any turmoil. We hardly ever knew that they were here. All of the guys on Mr. Padilla's crew performed an outstanding job. They didn't miss a thing. Every concern was addressed as the project moved along. It took them only 14 working days from start to completion. The quality of the work is AMAZING! From the stackable pave stone planter and retaining wall to the sod installation and irrigation system, the beautiful selection of plants by Mr. Padilla, we can hardly even recognize our backyard. Chon and the LHS team transformed our backyard from a desolate, decrepit desert of dirt and stumps into a LUSH, GREEN, BEAUTIFUL beyond words PARADISE! While everything they did was outstanding, the natural rock waterfall was STELLAR! It far exceeded our wildest dreams. It has become the focal point of our backyard. In conclusion, we would be remiss if we didn't mention how INCREDIBLY reasonable his prices are. Such high quality at such a great price is hard to find in this day and age, but Mr. Padilla was able provide this. Do yourself a favor and hire LHS Landscaping, you'll be so glad you did! We sure are!

Overall, the initial work proceeded well, & the workers & supervisor were very friendly and accomodating. However, I soon learned that if I didn't closely watch the work progress, the contract instructions/specs were not closely followed. As a result, some work had to be redone, such as improper grading for water runoff. The supervisor also had some disagreement with the manufacturer's instructions/specifications for the artificial turf installation. I called & also visited the turf manufacturer to confirm, & had to have LHS come back after the job was completed to correct the problem. In addition, the workers did not properly clean the mortar from all of the flagstone. I did not notice this until after the mortar dried completely & they completed the job & left. I then cleaned the flagstone myself.
Description of Work: The company graded the land & installed flagstone with mortar in between, installed artificial turf, and planted bushes that I purchased, including the addition of bubbler sprinklers to my sprinkler system. I also supplied a plot layout, including detailed instructions/specifications that became part of the contract. The manufacturers instructions for the artificial turf installation was also referenced in the contract.

Response from LHS Landscape Services Inc
with all due respect to my client and in the interest of not loosing any future work due to this report I would like to state that : 90% of our work its performed as per specifications provided by landscape architects plans, in this project i regret if I did not completely followed his instructions as he intended from plan he provided. in regards to manufacturers instructions as per how much infield to use per square feet of synthetic turf, I advice client that since I was using premium turf type it was not best to use all quantity recommended by manufacturer for premium turf because it from my experience too much infield makes for too hard of a surface to walk or play on, I recommended that if after a few days he felt it needed more I would come back & I did. I thank this client for work he provide my company, the experience I have obtained from running my business since I was 17 years old (25yrs in service) gives me the confidence to advice clients of what would work best for their properties, some take all or part of my advice but I am equally happy & grateful to work in their projects. Looking forward to giving you a free written home estimate. Chon Padilla (owner)

Chon Padilla was very prompt in responding to my call. He came out and gave several options for "updating" our patio area. Work was scheduled the following week. The whole job took only 2 hours as Chon brought a crew of five workers. Everything looks great. Mr. Padilla also does other work such as property repairs. I am going to follow up with him for some home repairs.
Description of Work: Update and cleanup front patio; remove weeds and dead plants

I found them on Angie's List. They were fast and efficient; four guys came out and it took them about an hour to do what I needed them to do. The only thing that was not right was that they were supposed to be here at 10 a.m. but I had to call them at noon to find out where they were. They did not show up until about 5 p.m. I realize they were busy and I was the last person they had on their list but they still should have called. They were A-plus, perfect otherwise.

I met with Chon, the owner and we agreed on a scope and price for our front yard. He told me that they would begin the very next and be done by the end of the day. (I was amazed and maybe a little skeptical) He said they would begin working the next day at 9:00 am. The crew showed up at 8:00 am and by 9:00 am had everything demoed. The new plants, lighting and pavers arrived at 10:00 am, by 3:00 pm the entire job was completed. They did an amazing job, we really love out new front yard and have already received many compliments and its only the first day of installation. I would definitely recommend this company and plan to use them again in the near future.
Description of Work: Landscape installation including planting, lighting and pavers.

The job went really well. The price was good. We had gotten quotes from other places and they were good. My only complaint is that they seemed very busy. It took a long time getting the job started. We went through the quoting process in April, and he told us it would be an issue in the summer. Once they got started it only took about 2 1/2 weeks. I wold definentially recommend them if they have the luxury of potentially waiting to get started. Other than that the price was fair and time to completion to completing the job was fair. There craftsmanship was not "stellar", it was good. If you look really hard look you might see the seams might not be straight.
Description of Work: LHS Landscaping Services INC did a remodel on our back yard. They exspanded our patio and did added some hardscape and landscaping features.
