SO VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! We had used this company before and gave Oscar an and quot;Aand quot;rating. It was our understanding (my husband and I) that they would trim two pampas grass bushes and clean up (remove weeds, trim roses, ect) from our side yard that is visible by the main street through our community . The estimate they gave was for $150. On the day Oscar and his brother came out to give us the estimate we also asked for an estimate for the complete removal of three pampas grass bushes and a dead tree. Estimate was $300. We advised them we could not have anything removed at this time as we needed approval from our HOA. We would get in touch with them for a later date of service for the removals. Oscar did not come out on the day they were to trim the bushes and clean the side yard. The person that came was his brother. They did not notify us when they arrived. My husband noticed them in the yard. They removed a tree that they were not supposed to touch, they trimmed three pampas bushes, they were only suppose to do two, and they did a horrific job, left behind scraps all over the hill that we are still cleaning up, they did not clean the side yard up as we agreed upon. My husband and I spoke with the brother and he said that the estimate was $150 to just trim the bushes and that he had trimmed the roses and we had a miss-communication. There is no language barrier here, there is now way we would have agreed to $150 to trim two bushes. We also advised him there was possibility of a fine from our HOA charging a fine since they removed a tree they were not suppose to. He did not appears to care. He said they would spray some round up on the weeks and rack up a bit more. We did not feel that was acceptable. This area was to be cleaned up, period. I called Oscar on the phone and he basically told me I was wrong, he was out of the country and I would have to deal with his brother, he did not have the time nor seem to care they did bad work. After I spoke with Oscar I look outside and the brother and his helper had left. We did pay them the full $150 but should not have. We have had two other landscapers come out and both estimate were significantly lower. We are now out additional money since they did not do the job as estimated. I wish we could post photo so you could see how badly the pampas grass and area looks! We also advised him there was possibility of a fine from our HOA since they removed a tree they were not suppose to. He did not seem to care!

When I called back today to follow up, I was advised that he had remembered me and he chose not to work with me. I remembered nothing of this in our first interaction, but the only thing he told me at that time was that it was his off season and he couldnt do the work at this time. I feel he has very poor customer service and I'm not sure he even remembers the correct person before he advised me that he chooses not to do my work.
Description of Work: Initially came out sometime ago to provide an estimate on a job that I felt another provider had messed up.

Response from Garcia Landscape Services
My initial estinate was over a year and a half ago, I remembered you becuase of your name and the way you pronounced it, the main reason I said no to working with you is that you hired unlicensed people to do a substantial amount of work for the cheapest possible price, they didnt complete it to your exact satisfaction so you never finished paying them I know this becuase you told me in person you wanted me to fix the issue and prpvide you with all possible documentation so that you could subtract what you owed them from what I would charge to fix there error. First off, pay what you owe those men have families to feed and the services were completef, ypu didnt have anything in in writting becuase they were not licensed, I gave you a bid that would cover my expenses you can't call me a year and a half later and expect me to forget how you shorted someone else out of there labor, I chose to say thank you but no thank you and be as polite as possible becuase your not good on leeping your word and I honestly would no want see you in small claims coirt or have to put a lien on your home for work I was never paod for. I wish you luck in finding a company who can fit your needs and expectations.

Oscar and his crew are great. He came out the day I called him to give me an estimate to remove the drooping fronds from our palms. Our HOA has a fit if we do not keep them trimmed. His price was good compared to what we have paid in the past. Told him I would call the next week to schedule a date. I let him know we did not want them to use shoe spikes to trim the trees as a prior company had damaged the palms badly. They came out the next week, used ladders, did an AWESOME job and were quick about it. We plan on using them again for additional work (sprinkler systems need some help).

The gardeners just stopped coming one month, without any attempt to contact me. They always came to the door to collect the check for the next month's bill, but one month they never came to the door, never attempted to collect, and I never saw them again. This was inconvenient as I only noticed they had stopped coming when my lawn became overgrown. There were also some issues when they were actually maintaining my yards. There were some herbs growing in my front yard that during the interview they said they wanted to remove. I gave instructions not to remove them. However, they went ahead and cut them all out on their first week of yard care. Also, during this time, patches of my front yard and large portions of my back yard died. Some of this was certainly not due to neglect on their part (I had a dog in the back yard that wore out some of the lawn), however it seemed that they could have done something for at least the front yard. Regardless, they never contacted me about it or gave any indication that they felt any responsibility for the problem. That being said, they always showed up every week and did keep the grass trimmed and other plants tidy. For the most part I felt I did not have to worry about caring for the yards while they were active. I would not recommend this company.
Description of Work: I hired E Garcia Gardening for weekly maintenance on my front and back yards. This included lawns and several other bushes and plants. During the estimate, they stated that their services also included fertilizing the lawns.

In regards to [member name removed] comments, your opinions are respected and heard, however our problems with miscommunication seem to have only affected my business with you, I have near 100 other houses I maintain and to this day I have not had any problems with any of them. Your dogs were never put in the garage on service days and I was always there at around the same time, payment was to be left under the doormat so I would not have to knock on the door evey month to collect my check. Simple instructions on how my business operates were never followed on your part. It is unfortunate that you feel I dropped the ball on service, I appologize for the problems in communication I may have cuased.

I was most pleased with the service. They were polite, efficient and the price was more than fair. In fact, I called them to remove a shrub which was affecting the use of my air conditioner and they came practically right away. I will probably hire them to do my regular gardening service.
Description of Work: Removed a bush surrounding air conditioning unit. Sprinklers were not turning on in the back—he repaired a cut wire to the control box. Repaired several broken sprinklers.

They were responsive and professional - squeezed me in for an estimate, scheduled me a couple days out and then all went as planned that day. The price seemed fair to me for parts and labor (and I'm and quot;frugaland quot;). They also talked me out of an unnecessary add-on that would've been good business for them, and then replaced one additional sprinkler head under the initial estimate. Happy to work with them again.

They were very puntual in coming to quote me on taking monthly care of my yard. It is a track home with lawn and garden beds. I walked the property with them and explained that I didn't want chemicals harmful to animals used. They indicated they would avoid using Roundup and hand remove the weeds. I was quoted a very reasonsble reasonable price of $120 per month to mow, trim, and fertalize monthly. BUT, when I contacted them again to set-up the service I was told that they thought I was too particular in my requests, and they didn't want the business. The only requests I made was for an agreement on paper for the monthly services and that harmful chemicals not be used. I guess putting their committment in writing was a bit too challenging for them, and their offer to hand weed versus using roundup everywhere wasn't their style (which makes me wonder why they offered to do so in the first place.) I would have preferred they were honest with me when they were here to quote the business rather than waste my time waiting. Somtimes quick quotes and low prices aren't everything.
Description of Work: The company came and provided quotes for service.

When we were first given an estimate, the price included weekly mowing, irrigation maintenance, weed removal, and monthly fertilizing. The only service that was actually performed was the weekly mowing, and even then, the lawn looked like either the lawn mower's blade was not regularly sharpened, or set too low. The lawn looked dull and brown, the weeds were never removed from the flower beds, and the irrigation system was never inspected, even though dead spots were forming in the yard. It seemed obvious that the owners did not take pride in their work, because a healthy lawn and yard is the best form of advertising for a landscaping business. I was very disappointed with this company because the services promised were not the services rendered. I would only recommend this company if you are looking for someone to cheaply cut your grass to avoid a fine from the city or HOA, and if you are not too concerned with the curb appeal of your house. If you are looking for someone to maintain the appearance of your yard...you might want to look elsewhere. We hired a different lawn maintenance company shortly after, and within a week our yard started to show signs of improvement.

They were very good. They came out in the morning and looked at it. They came back later in the afternoon and finished the job. They seemed very reliable. A couple of the sprinklers were broken or not working properly. They came out and did some work on them and fixed them. They were all done pretty quickly. The price was not much. It was pretty reasonable.

They were very quick and reasonable and I was very happy with them. I have some more landscaping that needs to be torn out and replaced and I will definitely use them because they were great. They charged me a $100 to prune a couple of yucca trees and three palm trees. I was very happy with the price for what they did.
Description of Work: I used E Garcia Gardening about 10 days ago and they did some pruning at the back.
