He was on time, punctual. He came up with a plan. I like it and now I'm trying to find the money to do it!
Description of Work: Sent me computerized plans for the front of my house.
Yosi is the best contractor I have ever worked with. He's professional and organized, and his crew's work reflects that. They are hard working and always clean up when they leave. Yosi is punctual and keeps his word. He truly works with the client, is flexible and patient. And best of all, the results are awesome! All of our neighbors have been commenting on how he transformed our home's exterior from worn out to picturesque!
Description of Work: Yosi and his team completely redid the landscaping at the home we bought, which had a 17,000 sq ft lot with a lot of mature landscaping, dating from the 70's and 80's. He designed new planting beds, incorporating some of the older landscaping while adding hundreds of new plantings. He and his crew also designed and built a water feature for our pool, installed low voltage lighting, built brick columns and installed lights and the gate motor system for the front perimeter fencing.

They wanted to sell me a lot of other services. What I asked them to do they said they couldn't do it with out adding more charges. I already paid $799 for a big deal. I had my money refunded and found a gardener that priced the work for about $300.

Rainforest LA did a fantastic job from start to finish. Yosi gave us a reasonable quote and was very professional and responsive. He was able to work with our schedule, and his team showed up exactly when they were supposed to. They took only two days to finish what Yosi said would be a three-day job! We are thrilled with the final product, and look forward to working with Rainforest LA again in the future.

We were happy with them. I've used them a couple of times. They were pretty good. They were prompt and professional. I highly recommend for landscaping and hardscaping.
Description of Work: We used Rain Forest LA. They cut all the bunch of shrubs, herbs and bad trees.
I contacted Yosi, the owner of the Rain Forest LA Inc. and he met with me within the same week. He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We discussed the plan for my front yard, including the extras. Yosi always checked with me to make sure that I liked the plan. Because I needed to apply for a rebate, which took a few weeks, he couldn't start work right away. As soon as I called him, Yosi scheduled a date for the following Tuesday, right before Christmas. Four work men arrived around 8:00 and continued to work until the entire landscaping was complete, after 5:00. Everything was neat and cleaned up and the yard looked great! Yosi told me he wanted to finish the yard for me before Christmas. What a great gift! I LOVE my front yard now!! I enjoyed my experience with Yosi and his crew and highly recommend him.
Description of Work: I bought the $1499 drought-resistant landscaping package for grass and top dirt removal and hauling away; planting 20 5-gallon plants; installing a one line drip irrigation system, and laying a 2-inch layer of mulch. Additionally, I paid extra for succulent plants, a second drip line, an outdoor electrical outlet and timer, and a path running across the front yard.

Working with Rain Forest LA was a great experience. Yosi was easy to work with, pleasant, knowledgeable, professional, and his crew did great work. Yosi went above and beyond the standard when working on our project. When we explained how soon we wanted the project done, he was able to accommodate our schedule. His crew worked hard and finished the job in two days without sacrificing quality. We are very pleased with the finished product. There was never any difficulty reaching Yosi to answer questions after the work was completed and he maintained a very helpful and courteous demeanor throughout. We will definitely use Rain Forest again as needs arise in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of service.
Description of Work: Landscaped front yard by removing existing grass and replacing with drought resistant California native plants and mulch. Yosi and his crew also trimmed our tree out front.

The estimate for the work was reasonable, but the project was postponed because of restrictions in the DWP rebate offer. Because it's a one-time rebate, it would be better for us to do the front and back yards at the same time. We were unable to come up with a satisfactory plan for the project.

It started out well. Prompt, responsive, quick. Although I was uncomfortable picking out all the plants since I'm not a design expert but the recommendations i received weren't great either. I was not impressed with the nursery as a lot of plants looked pretty dry. The crew was incredible and did a great job putting in all the plants. They nailed my design for the surfboard area and it turned out perfect! They were neat and finished quickly. I just wish i had more of a landscape design vs. me just picking out random plants here and there. About a month later, the plants started dying. It didn't take long for most of them to die off. The drip irrigation lines were also right above the surface vs. a little below the ground so they were visible to passersby. When I alerted them about the plants, they said they would replace the plants but they were busy. So after living with probably the ugliest front yard for seven months, they did replace the plants (not exactly with the same plants)....most of them. they said the others would eventually spring back. A year and a half later, they are still brown and dry. So needless to say, i am disappointed.

Yosi Rozen and his team are professional, experienced and very flexible. His plans were well tailored to our needs and budget. From our first consultation , to the completion of the work, Yosi was willing to work with us in the design, adjustments and budgeting of our backyard. The results look beautiful, are manageable in terms of water consumption and care, and we look forward to working with him in the future as we continue to landscape. What was a big empty space is now both aesthetically and functionally a wonderful backyard environment.
Description of Work: Planted a western, drought resistant garden in the corner of our backyard. Refurbished all the watering lines in front and backyards. Installed a timer on the watering system and a drip system for the plantings. Helped choose the plants and vines for the "western garden" section as well as flowering vines around the perimeter walls of the backyard. Provided new mulch over all the new plantings.

It took a while for the actual project to start. The work also went by a lot faster than I expected. Overall the quality of the work and their responsiveness was definitely worth the time and energy expended to schedule and complete the construction.

RAINFORESTLA, INC. were flexible in allowing us to use the two coupons we purchased over a year ago a month after the specified use by date. We greatly appreciated their accommodation. We purchased two coupons at $549 a day, for a total of $1098 for two days of work. The representative of the business was professional, came across as knowledgeable, offering advice on several of the projects that I was contemplating for them to tackle. The two workers provided to do the work replanted a number of trees that were not in the right place according to our plans. They planted a number of other trees and plants that we purchased recently. We also had them dig out a space under our hillside house to create more storage space and then move the dirt to other locations on our property. In all matters the workers worked hard, did the jobs that I asked them to do, and did their work well.
Description of Work: RAINFORESTLA, INC. provided two workers to do pure labor in the yard. We have a large property and are just beginning implementation of our landscape plans and the workers provided helped us get that start.

I had Yosi (owner) out for a quote. Two things: 1. The quote was way too high vs. other service providers also found on Angie's List. Basically, it didn't even seem as if the coupon was being applied. 2. Also, I obtianied a quote for a driveway gate with motor, after I tried to negotiate on the price, Yosi then said they don't install motors anymore, but I had already received quote!
