I have no problems with her. She charges us $110 a month. I never met Kathy but the service is very good. The only problem I have with them is sometimes, the people that come out to do the work are Spanish-speaking and I don't speak Spanish. So sometimes, the communication might be a little bit hard. If I have a problem, I just call the owner and talk to him because he speaks English.
Description of Work: We use Kathy's Landscaping for our yard work like mowing, blowing, weeding, and trimming bushes.

Went great! I needed help on very short notice and company owner got to me the same day and fixed the problem. I would have hired him on the spot for all of our lawn maintenance, but I am extremely loyal and we already have a crew in place. Please use this company for your needs if you are looking for a service provider.

They were okay. I never interacted with them and didn't see the yard before or after. They came and did the work and sent a bill. When they removed the small tree the sticks holding the tree up were left in the yard. They said that one of the sprinklers were leaking and they replaced it with a very expensive part and we don't know if that was necessary or not.
Description of Work: Kathys Landscaping did some work for us about two years ago. They removed a dead tree and cleaned up the yard.

I don't have much to say here: We call, we explain the problem, and Kathy's gets back to us promptly with an estimate or several options. We choose one. They do the work. Things work properly.
Description of Work: What we like best about Kathy's is that they'll tell you when it does NOT make financial sense to do a proposed job. Put differently, they are not trying to push more and bigger, more expensive jobs onto clients. They work within your budget to give you a prompt, professional result in irrigation systems, drainage, plant "first aid" and other landscaping matters.

They were very good about calling me back and came out the same day to take a look at the property. I waited short of a week for an email with the estimate, but I had to email him directly to get it. He brought it out to the house unannounced. We agreed to have him come out at 9am and do some partial work for today, but when I called him earlier this morning to confirm, he said they would be delayed due to another job and would be out from 11am-12pm. It’s almost 1pm and I have not received any word.
Description of Work: I got an estimate for re-shifting the sprinklers, fixing the stucco, and relocated a rose bush.

After getting a price at the end of last year for removal of overgrown shrubs I emailed Ramiro (at Kathy's) to come and actually do the work. It took a while for him to reply but he did turn up when arranged. I particularly needed the shrubs (poisonous oleander) and very overgrown pittosporum and their roots removed and we discussed using a stump grinder - as the shrubs were at least 10-15 years old. It turns out the stump grinder wouldn't fit through the access point to our back yard so it had to be done by hand. This was OK but half of the roots were left - I guess just too much to remove by hand? On the Kathy's website there is an option to pay by PayPal which I wanted to do, but Ramiro didn't seem to know anything about it and said that he didn't know how to get the money. I explained the process to him and he said that he had to charge me more to recover the PayPal finance charge - which is against PayPal's terms of service. I agreed to not use a coupon I had from Angies List instead. I didn't feel too bad about it, the guy had bust his onions removing 15 huge shrubs with a pick-axe! He did an OK job, apart from leaving those darned roots.

At first, the company was fantastic. Ramiro is a really nice guy, and he went above and beyond with the service. There was something we weren't happy with on day one, and he owned doing it immediately, saying he made the decision based on his own experience; we were impressed. He and his crew replaced sod, weeded, etc. We set repeat visits for every other Thursday afternoon at the price of $90 a month, to include mowing, weeding and raking.We were very specific about setting date and relative time, that we were always open to being flexible with timing as long as he gave a call or just sent a quick text, and that if there were things we needed to be doing between visits to help maintain his good work, he should let us know, because we were more than willing. At first the team showed up every week as planned. But slowly things have started to slide. The team doesn't always show up when they are supposed to. Ramiro likes to get paid on time - and he should be! - but I have to ask for weeks after it's due to get an invoice for my family's records. Additionally, certain things like weeding aren't getting done well. We've found newly sprouting plans that should be pulled which aren't (I'm a novice and even I noticed them), dying grass that he's never mentioned to us, and other things that show me his work is getting sloppier. On our last phone call, he implied that if I didn't go to a weekly service, that our current terms of service might not work for him at all. We're going to give it until the end of May and then make a decision.
Description of Work: Originally hired to do a cleanup (mow/rake) then hired them to come to the house twice monthly for maintenance at the price of $90 a month.

It seemed like the company wasn't qalified to do job. Seemed unsure of himself to perform work. Said he would come back to look at drainage problem when it rained? Never did. Then showed up prior to that without notice and knock on my door before 7:40 am? I did tell him where the drainage problem was and asked him to call me back for quote .HE DID NEITHER

They did the work quickly and just as they said. Ramiro is easy to communicate with and always returns calls.
Description of Work: When we moved into our house we used Angie's List to locate a reliable company to maintain our front and back yard. They come every week and do good work. It's about $100 a month. In addition, the lawn was initially in very bad shape. Ramiro recommended moving the sprinkler heads around and adding some new ones, plus replacing the dead spots with sod. We had them do all this work, which also included removing some old dead plants and digging out some big stones in the backyard. It came to about $900.

Very well - the workers were on time and very professional. Ramiro is the lead guy and he is very nice to work with. Even before we hired him he was out in the yard picking weeds out of the grass here and there - almost absentmindedly. Without prompting he fixed and moved more sprinkler heads than I had asked for but he didn't charge me for the extra work. His team goes above and beyond the call of duty. I gave him a little extra for a tip.
Description of Work: Fixed broken sprinklers, new valves, all new sprinkler heads, moved some sprinkler heads to better hit parts of the lawn. Yard clean up, weeding, clean up of very overgrown hillside. We were also setting up a temporary pool in the backyard and wanted a flat surface for the pool. They dug a 12' wide circle out of the lawn, 3" deep, and filled it with sand to create a flat surface. This was much nicer than putting the pool directly on the grass as we have done in previous years.

I got their name from Angie's list and called for work to be done. We set up a date they would show up. They never showed up or even called. I live by a motto "If you can't trust a business to keep the small promises how can you expect them to keep the big ones."

Ramiro came out and gave me an estimate and made recommendations for removal and replacement. Since the original hedge has been in place a long time (and took a long time to fill in the entire length of the low fence that supports it), Ramiro suggested removing the dead section and replacing it with four new plants so that the space will fill in more quickly. He took the time to go to more than one nursery to find the best looking plants and to find ones that were close in height to the existing hedge. We later made arrangements to do the work (I had been on vacation). I was at home when he and his workers began the project, but then left to go to work. When the work was near completion, Ramiro called me to see if I would like to come home to see how everything looked (which I did). It looked great. It's obvious that he takes pride in his work and wants the customer to be pleased with it too.
Description of Work: I have a low hedge that separates my driveway from the neighbor's driveway. Part of the hedge was dead and needed to be removed and replaced with the same type of hedge plant -- one that will eventually "grow into" the dead area. Ramiro and his workers removed the dead section of the hedge and replaced it with four new plants. They did a very nice job at a good and fair price. It looks great!

We recently let go of our THIRD gardener, and contacted Kathy's Landscaping for an estimate to maintain our landscaping. We made an appointment with Ramiro, who was not only prompt, but called to let us know that he was on his way. Ramiro walked the area and gave us an estimate, which we accepted. Ramiro's crew accomplished more in one day, than any of the previous three companies had in one month. We are extremely pleased with the service and courtesy extended to us by Kathy's Landscaping and Ramiro.
Description of Work: Mowed, edged, weeded, and trimmed all the shrubs around both the front yard and back yard.

Ramiro came by about a month before the installation to look at what needs to be done and give me an estimate. I wanted someone to help me with the landscape design, irrigation system, and installation. Ramiro stated he is not a designer, but recommended a designer that I ended up hiring. I had met several other landscapers and choosing him to do the work was a no-brainer. He was on time, professional and personally likeable. Although Ramiro offered to do the irrigation, I hired an irrigation specialist, and Ramiro worked with him and the designer and was available for questions and consultations throughout the month-long process of finalizing the design and getting the irrigation work done. When he and his crew came to do the installation they were on time, courteous and did an outstanding job. It was a three-day job and the crew cleaned up after themselves every day. In retrospect, I?m sure Ramiro could have done the irrigation work, too.
Description of Work: Ramiro and his crew completely re-landscaped my yard. This included removing several shrubs as well as my old dilapidated lawn, moving 2 trees and several other shrubs, grading the entire back yard for proper drainage, setting a stone edger for my planters, planting about 50 new plants including a couple of trees, lots of shrubs and flowers, and finally laying down new sod. Also, we found 3 leaks in the irrigation, probably caused due to damage during work I personally caused before his crew came in. (I had installed a pond). And he installed my landscape lighting. He fixed the leaks and installed the lighting at no extra charge. I also hired Ramiro to do my weekly maintenance - see other report for that (they are excellent).

The same 2 guys arrive every week. They do a great job every time. They are thorough, fast, and efficient and make sure to clean up after themselves. If I ever have a specific request, they re happy to oblige. It s a pleasure to see how well my yard is doing thanks to their great work.
Description of Work: I hired Ramiro and his crew to do my landscaping installation (see other report) and then do weekly maintenance. This report is about their weekly maintenance service. A 2-man crew arrives around the same time every week. They mow and beautifully edge my lawn. They trim shrubs as necessary, they remove any weeds they find, and they turn the top layer of the soil in my planters. If I ever have any specific requests, they always take care of them. They also fertilize the lawn occasionally, as needed. I have dogs, and therefore I get brown-spots on my lawn when the dogs pee on it. A few weeks ago when I had a couple of big spots, an installation crew came by and patched the spots with new sod at no additional charge.
