I am using Landscape Locators for gardening maintenance. They are doing great. I am ecstatic with them. My last gardener disappeared off the face of the earth. Benji is the guy actually doing it. He has been great. He found out exactly how I like things done. What I wanted and did not want. He has been very open to questions and things. He has made some suggestions. So far I have been extremely happy. They have been charging me 90 dollars a month. I have a 10,000 square foot yard.

The price they quoted me was too high. They came, they were very cordial on the phone, they were here when they said they would but my job wasn't in their category and they were too high. Their punctuality was perfect and they were very professional.

It was great, they worked efficiently and all the work was finished in one day.
Description of Work: We had paid a company to take out a large pepper tree over a year ago. We thought that was the end of it. Fast forward to now, the roots were still growing and going towards our foundation. We contacted Landscape Locators and Kevin had called us back immediately. Jesse came to our house that night and we had an estimate 2 days later. The estimate included removing the roots that were taking over our yard. They pulled up the brick that the root had moved (removed the root) and put it back. They placed new sod over half of our yard. Found 3 drains in our lawn that we had never seen before and verified that our sprinkler system was not leaking in the ground. The last part they did was remove plants form two planters, till the soil and add planting quality soil so that I could continue my veggie garden.

Very Smooth. Good communication up front, good price and quality work.
Description of Work: I purchased a shortsale home where the yard was a disaster. I just wanted to start over with a clean slate. Landscape Locators came out to inspect the yard, talked with me about what I wanted and found the right crew. Every leaf was removed, all the random plants, they tore out 8-10 rose bushes and another 20-25 plants I had marked to remove. They took everything with them and the place looked amazing. The yard is a clean slate ready to plant.

I found Landscape Locators on Angies list, along with several others. LL responded the very next day, the only one to so. Once I described the job, the personnel at L.L. said they had a contractor who could handle our job and would have the contractor contact us. The contractor did so the next day, he came to our home and gave us an estimate, we agreed to a slightly lesser amount and the work was scheduled. The contractor handled obtaining the masonry we requested and his workers arrived the day scheduled, and completed the job the next day. We are very pleased with the quality of the workmanship. Many of our neighbors comment positively about the look of the masonry on the front of our home.

Started out ok, but the locator lost control when the sub-contractor he sent was terrible
Description of Work: These guys provided a landscaper they said was professional and a real landscaper. Turned out the guy just showed up whenever he wanted, walked around smoking cigars and p****** off the neighbors and providing lousy service. Created more problems than he solved.

Response from Landscape Locators
Member- I am really sorry that you were unhappy with the service we provided back in June of 2011. Yes, it is true that we had a bad crew last summer and unfortunately that was the one who was assigned to your property. We have long since parted ways with that crew as once we heard a few negative reports from our clients; we quickly and swiftly stopped having him work on any of our homes many months ago. We did offer to switch out your crew for the same rate once you made us aware of some of the issues you were having, however you didn’t want that option and decided to pursue a new gardener on your own which we of course respected. As you can tell by our other reviews, we stand behind our work and do everything in our power to make sure every single customer is satisfied. We hit that about 99% of the time, but every once in awhile one of the crews will not perform as they once did and that is what happened in your case. If you decide you would like to give it another shot, I am certain we have plenty of other crews that you would be thrilled to have working on your yard. Thanks.

We bought a home near San Diego and closed on the house before we moved from the East Coast. Working by phone, Landscape Locators arranged for a one-time cleanup of the yard then weekly service. I was initially nervous, as I wasn't able to meet the workers or see their work for the first few weeks they took care of the lawn. They did a great job, and we are so pleased we decided to keep them on now that we've moved into the house.
Description of Work: -Mowed the lawn. -Cleaned up overgrown foliage around the edge of the yard.-General lawn/yard cleanup after several weeks of neglect.-Identified problems with the sprinkler system and, at additional cost, made necessary repairs.

Landscape locators were very professional but Eric the gardener they sent and his team were very unprofessional, unreliable and carried out a very "lets do the minimum we can get away with" type of job. I was very impressed when I met Eric and he seemed helpful but as he got on with the job nothing was done completely or correctly and constant promises to finish job and correct the bad work continued with them not turning up when promised on a number of occassions. They were employed to do a clean up and bring the garden upto par for a continued service - they cut into sprinkler pipes, left lots of weeds, didnt cut back correctly left lots untouched they when I was advised to mulch they provided a very thin layer of rubbish bark not the nourishing mulch I expected.

Response from Landscape Locators
Member - I know you and I have discussed the frustrations with this particular crew many times but I wanted to at least post a response here on Angie's List. We appreciate your willingness to allow us to switch crews and we greatly appreciate the fact that you are still a continuing client of ours. You had said that once things got back on track that you would raise our review but that you were so bothered by the unresponsiveness of the initial crew that you felt you had to post this review now. I know you were very unhappy initially, but once you called the office and made us aware that action needed to be taken, you were very impressed with our customer service and quick action. Quite honestly, that’s about all we can ever promise to do is be there for you and give you a more professional and accountable service than any other gardener can offer. As you and I discussed, we have since stopped working with this crew as your feedback was very valuable to us so we have decided not to trust him with any more of our clients as we strive to provide the best gardening experience in all of Orange County. I know you are much happier with the new crew and I look forward to working with you for many years to come and reading a revised report from you soon. Thanks.

They're multi-serviced, if we needed them for other things they will gladly do them. They do our pool service, our tree removal, our stump removal, our landscape and they do all kinds of things other than just lawn. If we need them, we can just call them and let them know. They do a really good job, and if we want something changed we can let them know. In the meantime, we don't have to do a thing. If our lawn needs fertilizing they'll take care of it. If a sprinkler breaks, they'll take care of it.
Description of Work: I use this company as for our lawn service every Thursday.

After finding 9 broken sprinklers and at the time 2 underground water leaks I had finally had enough with the current gardener. There was a list of things that I let go and let go, but I never forgot. When I found the third underground leak it was my affirmation that I had made the right choice....change gardeners. I took to the internet and almost immediately got frustrated. I then joined Angie's List. I found Kevin's company, and upon reading the many positive reviews I called. Kevin answered my call, I didn't have to leave a message and wait days for a returned phone call. If I have to leave a message I have a returned call within hours and again not days later. Kevin and Andrew have been very helpful, accommodating to my particular wishes, and just down right NICE. It was so refreshing to find a company that understands, embraces, and applies the meaning of 'customer service'.The new gardener Manuel is fantastic! The pride he takes in his work is evident every time I look at the yards. I didn't realize how stressful the last 2 gardeners were over the past 3 years until Manuel arrived. Thank you so much Kevin and Andrew!!!Sincerely,Katherine

I contacted Landscape Locators after finding them here on Angi's List. I was pleased with the prompt phone response, and Kevin coming out later that day to give me an estimate for the work I wanted done. I was pleased with the estimate that he gave me for the work I wanted done. He also gave me an estimate for what it would cost for a monthly upkeep. He indicated that he could have someone here later in the week to complete the work for me. Benji showed up as scheduled and did exactly what I had hoped for. He trimmed, and pulled and snipped and raked. (Mind you - I said RAKED.) Before he left, Benji checked with me for a final approval that they had done all I wanted done. I gave my stamp of approval and was very pleased with what they had accomplished in two hours. After the fact, there were a few things I noticed that I wished they had done, but that was my fault for not catching it while they were here. Benji would have done whatever I requested him to do, I could tell that from his positive attitude to be sure I was pleased with the job they had done. I'm not concerned, as I plan on contacting Landscape Locators to arrange for a weekly service of my yard, and I know they will fix it the next time they are here. I'll get back to you in a few months to let you know how it is going. :)

Andrew was great at corresponding with me so I knew everything about the whole process. He answered all of my questions clearly, and the landscaper he recommended was professional and very knowledgeable. It was a good fit all around.
Description of Work: Andrew was great at finding me both the right kind of landscaper and one that was in my area. We had a new lawn put in, no construction, just killing the weeds and grass already there, scraping off the surface, replacing the old sprinkler system, and laying the new sod.

Kevin came over and gave us an estimate and had someone down promptly and it was done so quickly and timely, it was a pleasant surprise. There was an attention to detail that I appreciated beyond words and I knew exactly who to contact if I had issues. It as overall a great experience. Everything was done that I had asked to be done and beyond.
Description of Work: We had neglected our poor backyard due to wanting to completely redo it. We need some clean up service and did not know where to turn. I called Kevin and asked for him to come take a look. It wasn't a big job, our backyard isn't very large, but it was something I could not do on my own, so having it done in one day and all the odds and ends taken care of was a relief and has allowed us to plan our new project. We needed trees trimmed, posts from a fence removed as well as the fence itself, a couple of large plants removed, furniture, etc. not working hauled aware, clean up of branches, leaves, soil cleaned up, etc.
