Response from R & R Landscape Services Inc
Unfortunately a lot of members are misled by the rebate program for removing the sod . I remember having this conversation with this member. Hopefully this will shed some light and help other members understand . In the LA basin area depending on your location you're offered any where between $2. And $3. Per square foot to remove your lawn, in this particular case it was $3. Per square foot. I've met with plenty of members who want to take advantage of this opportunity and I've done plenty of estimates. The reaction by the majority of the members is that they are surprised that the rebate money does not cover the cost to have the property professionally landscaped with the requirements that the city has. The requirements are that you replace the turf with 60% nonplanted permeable surface which usually equates to gravel, pebbles, mulch. 40% California friendly plants which means native plants, drought tolerant or succulents all of which are not cheap. Most of the times there is some kind of hard scape area such as a new path or sitting area incorporated because... What the hell you're redoing the yard might as well go all the way. The other requirement is that you convert to drip irrigation, for this you have two options either Netafim type irrigation which is an underground tubing with emitter that waters directly into the roots or the above ground black tubing with individual drips that we are all familiar with because it clogs, pops the drips out and is very unpredictable. Now if you are a contractor you'd pick the one that has less problems which is why I prefer Netafim, unfortunately it's not the cheapest. Along with this most members also want to add lighting, I prefer the most dependable made in America LED fixtures which translates to Not cheap. Because if you don't select the best quality materials the contractor will get a call before the warranty expires to go back and fix or replace the product of lesser quality. All in all after you add it all up the homeowner should expect to spend at least three times as much more of what it's receiving from the rebate if done right. This does not mean that you can't get it done on the cheap. You can be your own contractor hire laborers or a gardener to remove the sod, spread inexpensive mulch, install the black above ground drip tubing, purchase your own plants and design it yourself with some help of Google search. I just have some advice, you need to spray and kill the turf while its green, if you cut off the watering and it looks brown it's not dead it's dormant and you can't kill it when it's brown, it has to be green. Remove the turf with the roots in case there is still some that did not die completely with weed killer. Do your research with the plant materials some of these plants grow 12-15' high by 10' wide, you want California natives, go to the Angeles forest you'll see how big and invasive some of these plants get. There are some more manageable plant materials for small gardens. Lastly if you do hire day laborers or a gardener without workers comp, I would speak to my homeowners insurance provider first to see if there is any way you're covered on your end because this can result into a law suit to the homeowner if anyone gets hurt on the property. I hope this will help our Angie's list members for any projects related to the rebate. Ray

We knew Ray was our guy after our first meeting. He spoke our design language and we could tell he was up to date on trends. Ray has great vision and taste. He is friendly, knowledgable and fun to work with. Our project took 1 day for demo, and a little over a week for the construction, staining and oiling of the new pergola. We worked primarily with Luis, Francisco and Martin. The guys also had help from "Mini" on the heavy lifting day of getting the new extremely heavy beams in place. The crew was FANTASTIC! Both artists and craftsmen. They took their time to do everything right. We loved having them here, they were all friendly, polite and professional. They worked incredibly hard and even with the temperatures hitting into the 100's they always smiled. We were amazed how well they cleaned up at the end of every day. We are very thankful for the care... the love they put into building our new pergola. So will we hire them again, yep, we already have! We miss working with them so we are moving ahead on a retaining wall project with them. Their work really speaks for itself, just look at the photos. They built exactly what we had pictured in our heads. Thank you R&R!

Ray and his team just completed an extensive remodel of our backyard. We interviewed many different contractors, but in the end we felt most comfortable with Ray as he had done many projects similar to ours and had experience in our neighborhood. Ray had some really great ideas based on our needs. He moved a retaining wall back around 3-4 feet, built a small basketball court, refinished our pool, replanted our hillside, built an outdoor kitchen, and constructed 2 new gates on the sides of our house. The backyard exceeded our wildest expectations. Our backyard now looks like something you might see in a magazine. The only negative was that the work took longer than we expected, though some of this was out of Ray's control. Overall, we couldn't have been happier. We would definitely hire him again.

The owner, Ray and All of his employees are 100% 5 star professionals. Ray will work with you on your wants and make suggestions where needed. Pavers were installed with drainage in mind, sprinklers were adjusted and lighting for trees and plants were installed. Plants and trees were reviewed along with a trip to a nursery for further discussion and viewing. No requests for additional ANYTHING was ever debated and any calls to Ray for anything was always answered in a timely manner (usually immediately). This is a top notch company and I would recommend them to anyone needing Landscape work.

Ray and his team were great to work with. Very professional from start to finish. We've had no issues since the work was completed other than a few patches of sod dying. Ray sent someone to replace the patches as soon as we informed him of the problem and there have been no issues since. Whole job took 4 weeks to complete and we are very happy with the results. We would definitely work with R & R Landscape again.
Description of Work: Replaced old asphalt driveway and walkway with approximately 1500 SF of pavers. Extended backyard concrete patio approximately 400 SF. Replaced 113 SF of old wood fence with Redwood color vinyl fence. Replaced old wood gate with Redwood gate and repaired front wood fence. Added two electrical outlets in backyard. Installed new sprinkler system throughout. Assembled and installed 11 x 12 ft canopy on back patio. Laid sod in front and back and planted new shrubs and flowers in front.

Ray and his team gave me a start date three weeks after contact and promptly began on this date. Two of his guys dug up 2 feet of concrete along a 25 ft. backyard wall in one day, removed the concrete and cleaned up the next day, prepared the soil and planted 40 fichus trees which Ray allowed me to select at a nursery within the next 2 days. During the next 2 days, his team installed a triple lattice privacy trellis on top of the entire length of the wall which is about 100 feet long which they painted a lovely reddish brown. During this time, they corrected backyard lighting, and installed an irrigation system. There were some problems with the irrigation so Ray sent the guys back to fix the problem which they successfully accomplished. They were able to finish the project in about a week. The team was efficient, professional, and very cooperative. Ray was always available by cell phone to answer questions and came out 3 times to check on the quality of the work. And, Ray is a really NICE guy! This is an A+ company who did all of this beautiful work at an extremely reasonable price. Thank you Ray and your great team. I highly recommend R & R Landscape for any landscape work that you may be considering for your home.

Ray, Ricardo and the guys are super nice and responsible. They were mostly on time and diligent with the work and listened to my concerns. Work took a little longer than expected and had a few glitches with substitute workers. In the end, the finish product came out well. Will definitely recommend them and use them again myself.

Everything about my contact with this company was perfect. However, when they were free, I was busy and lagged on committing then when I was free they were super busy. Unfortunately, I had a deadline by when I had to have the work done so I had to find another way to get it done. If you call and they are pretty booked up, they are worth the wait if you have the time. I will certainly call when I am ready to do the front yard.

I liked the end result of the project very much. They did a very nice job. They took a lot longer than we thought. It was because they had to kill weeds over and over again in the back yard. That took a while. We were very happy with the work. We modified the scope of work many times throughout the project. They were very cooperative and it was a good pricing. They were easy to work with.
Description of Work: R & R Landscape Services Inc did our entire 12 to 14 thousand square feet backyard, 10 thousand square feet of lawn sod and some masonry work. They did several fruit trees and shade trees. They put in a number of hedge plants and a garden. They also put in many flowering shrubs in the front.

|Learned much from reading other reviews, most important, the customer does not come first. I took over punch list items after primary contact moved. Primary contact reported Ray was very responsive and had a good experience. That was not my experience. Work started in November and final payment released end of January. Never met Ray only workers who were very nice and always able to reach Ray when my multiple calls and emails went unanswered. I did receive a phone lecture on the care and maintenance of our new sprinklers and plants. Ray preferred to communicate directly with the primary weeks after they had sold and moved. Final payment was held for several days as the building endured noise and vibration 3x per day starting at 6am from each phase of the 4 sprinkler valves. Emails describing the noise issue were unanswered. Only resolved by reserving payment. |If you can deal with your contractor being the most important part of the equation then R &R does good work..on their terms.

Response from R & R Landscape Services Inc
This was a unique project. We were contacted by the president of the HOA for a condo complex. After agreeing for a start date I believe the project went pretty smooth, unfortunately halfway through the project the president person I was dealing with moved and I was left to deal with the treasurer whom I believe was not very responsive either. I think she traveled some during this time and would not get back to me that much. My e mails were cc over to her with the person that hired me and I believe it was a rough transition over all. On top of that payments were very slow to get to me. I was not aware that there was this problem with the noise from the plumbing until I pressed the person that hired us for final payment this was relayed to me. The noise was caused because someone decided that the sprinklers were over spraying and cranked down the pressure by closing the valves down till that were almost shut entirely, this causes additional pressure on the main feed line which ran under the building making a horrible vibration through the building. This was corrected by opening the valves and regulating the sprinkler nozzles. But anyway I believe that the transition of dealing with the person that hired us and the person that we were left with did not go as smooth. I did try calling, texting and e mailing but I got no response until I contacted the person that hired me. Personally I think the treasurer might of gotten a bit upset because she wanted to change the planting plan by adding more large trees by her unit which was not in the original agreement. Everyone in the complex was notified when the plants were going to be selected at the nursery and nobody wanted anything to do with it. I believe that if the person that hired would of written this review the results would of been more favorable. I accept and admit whenever I'm at a fault , however there always two sides to the coin and it is our Angie's list members to decide which one is more accurate. Till next time Ray

Ray was great and I've since recommended him to our neighbors and friends. The work was done on time, his crew was neat, careful and easy to talk to. This was our first time doing any landscaping and Ray helped us with design, picking materials and keeping us on our budget. It's been over a year and our grass, pavers and privacy hedges are still beautiful. I only wish he did kitchens!

Response from R & R Landscape Services Inc
We were contacted by the member late last year and scheduled him after a visit and some questions he had about the possibly of saving some money by leaving the existing irrigation or just seeding the lawn. I explained the following: Whenever there is a complete relandscape it's important to take advantage and upgrade your irrigation system, first of all your bedding areas and lawn areas should be on different zones. Than your zones will be divided further based on sun exposure and wether it's on a higher or lower elevation where water may not drain adequately. You will manage your water more efficiently this way, you can go more into details with micro emitters and underground drip irrigation but the basics are that. Second of all when you are removing and or replacing a lawn first you should make sure the lawn is NOT dormant. How can you tell? If your lawn is a Bermuda mix, kikuyu, and anything that looks brown in cool months of the year which is from November- April you can not spray it and kill it even if it looks brown. There is a common misconception that you can stop watering the turf thinking that it's brown and is dead, it's not the roots are still very much alive but the leaves are brown, it's gone into self preservation by looking like its dead, the greener the turf,weeds foliage the best results to kill it . When the turf is sprayed it injests the chemicals through the leaf and in to the roots. Another misconception is that if you remove the turf with weeds without killing it you've taken care of any chance of it coming back. Wrong again the roots for the Bermuda grass also called Devil grass go 6' deep so if you remove 6" of it I guarantee it will grow back under a year. It baffles me when I see some landscapers just take roto tillers to a lawn of weeds and just raking it up and laying sod over it. It looks good for the first couple of months and than the weeds take over. The correct way of replacing or installing new sod is you kill the existing turf first with the proper weed killers when the turf is healthiest. Wait a week if there still some spots you missed spray again, remove the turf after a week because that is when all the toxins in the weed killers have dissipated . Remove the turf manually with a pic ax with roots. Rake any left over roots bring in soil amendments roto till into soil. Install your irrigation at correct spacing , use a water roller to level the soil correctly rake again to fill holes and lay your sod! I hope this has been helpful to any of the members looking to install a new irrigation and lawn on their home. If this process is followed you will have a healthy lawn for many years. There will be maintenance involved such as using selective herbicides once a year to keep your lawn free of wandering weeds infesting your lawn believe it or not by your gardeners lawnmower! In the end after I answered a few questions by the member in regards to the process of the renovation we went forward, the job was finished with no problems and I believe we have another satisfied customer. Sometimes potential clients bring up that our rates are a little higher than the other quotes and my answer has always been, you get you pay for. If I were a member looking for a contractor I would do exactly what this member did. Ask and ask again for the process and ask again if any doubts. That way you can compare apples to apples. Another great experience! Ray

We had a few people come by to look at our yard and go over what we were looking for. We chose R&R for several reasons. He was prompt, enthusiastic, creative and listened to our ideas. He worked closely with us to create a design that maximized our yard and stayed within our budget. He made what could have been an overwhelming process enjoyable. We bounced ideas around until we got exactly what we wanted. From demolition to completion, Ray and his crew were incredibly responsive. They worked with us we tweaked the design and were very collaborative. His crew was incredible. They worked hard and were very pleasant to have around. Whatever questions/concerns we had were addressed and resolved. The attention to detail and craftsmanship of their work is very impressive. We were and are highly impressed by what they did. It seems like no detail was overlooked. We had no idea our little yard could be turned into such a relaxing place. Ray has even been checking in with us to make sure everything is good, even after completion. We could not have asked for a better experience.

We were contacted by the member to remand scape both the Front-yard and back yard, there were a number of challenges on this one as we did have a lot of space in the back yard and what we did have was very narrow, however we managed to come up with a design that was within budget. We installed a gas line for BBQ and fire pit, a hot tub with electrical, all new irrigation and finally landscaping with lighting. We enjoyed this one because the clients were very flexible and we had more freedom to use our creativity. We had field trip to the nursery to pick plants and were able to narrow down the plant list to a few that fit the budget and made everything look beautiful. The outcome is a nice clean look that fit all the requirements of the client.

Once again we return all of our calls, everyone in the company was off from the December 24 th through January 2nd there were no call returned during that time. The voice message in the office clearly said that. It also said that if there was an emergency I could be reached. There were only a few voicemails on there and I along with my assistant went over them and called everyone back. It may be that this member had an urgency to get the driveway repaired before the holidays . However I assure all of our members we always call and email back.

I guess you can't win them all nor can you keep everyone happy. My assistant works with me 3 days a week Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I am 100% confident that she returns everyone's calls within one to two working days as I explain in the answering machine I also explain that I am available at my cell if the situation is urgent. Yes we do ask the members a few questions to see if it is a project that would be a correct fit for the business. Why? Let me explain, as a business we have an overhead cost that we have to cover for a job meaning that if a potential project involves a little bit of irrigation, a little bit of masonry, a little bit of lighting and some trimming involved I have to send the masonry crew out, the lighting crew out , the clean up and irrigation crew out and the planting crew for a 4-5 hour project. It takes the same prep time to send each crew out with the correct equipment for a small project that a maintenance gardener can do than it does for a larger project that would be a days work for the crew. Most customers would not be willing to pay for the overhead cost involved on such a small project. Many times I speak with potential clients myself and when I explain this to the caller and I make the decision not to take the job to save us all the trouble of me going out to see the job usually 30 min to an hours drive, interview with the client and prepare the estimate in the office, send it via e mail to never get a response because obviously the job is too small to cover the company's overhead cost. The potential client is clearly irritated over the phone and as much as I try to explain the situation, that it is a business decision not a personal decision. The caller is still surprised and upset. We receive many calls through out the week and we probably do around 12-18 appts per week. Out of those I find that half the time the Angie's list member just wants to repair a small patch of lawn and a couple sprinkler heads for example and I find out about it once I'm on the job site. Something that your gardener can handle and would be much cheaper. We are not being arrogant or prejudice, it's just common sense. We treat all of our callers the way we would like to be treated if we were searching for a service, that's why we are as honest and clear as possible upfront with our members. We are always busy thanks to Angie's list but we never turn down a job without looking into it first. Most of Angie's list members that we have serviced appreciate this as it saves everyone time. Therefore to this Angie's list member I respond I am sorry you felt this way about our business but clearly you never gave us a chance to speak to you and explain this. We wish you good luck and hope that everything worked out with your project. Ray President of R&R Landscape.

We had several quotes from different contractors. We needed major work done since our space was not usable and neglected for 30 years, thanks to the previous owner. Ray was the only contractor who returned our calls, came to the appointments on time and responded to our numerous questions (sometimes repeated questions) professionally and courteously. It was obvious to us that he takes pride in his work and wants to work with you to create a win-win situation. Not only he was not pushy nor complaining that we had to narrow down our wish list, when we were in doubt, he explained to us where we should spend that adds value and what we can do in the future. We had a deadline that he promised he can keep, and that's what he did. His crew showed up everyday on time and worked tirelessly to meet the deadline. Ray was very accommodating to our minor changes during the project. So much dirt and gravel had to be removed that at some point, meeting the deadline seems impossible. But to keep his promise, on the last few days of the project, he pushed the crew and brought more people to get it done. That's the kind of contractor any homeowner wishes for. Now we have a clean, usable space that we can enjoy and comfortably entertain many people, something we couldn't do before. We will definitely use Ray's services for our other projects in the future. Keep up the excellent work.

Ray Reyes, R&R Landscape Inc is the BEST POOL AND LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR that I have ever worked with in the 30+ years I have been in the building industry. I am an Interior Designer and have worked with hundreds of interior and exterior subcontractors over the years, and am thrilled to have found Ray Reyes. I went to Angies List to get 3 contractor bids on a backyard renovation that I was a project manager on. Ray came out to meet with me and we discussed the project, he had great ideas that would be cost effective but give "a lot of look". Ray worked with me on the final price and the job was let to him for $39,500. He started the job on July 9th. During the process or removing an old wood deck, Ray suggested that we add in a 3'x60" retaining wall to be able to extend the area behind the pool to 10" deep. This made a lot of sense and enabled us extend the pavers out to use this area more efficiently. We had some added work that we wanted including the block wall, more sprinklers, plantings etc and the total job came to $50,000. Ray's communication with me throughout the job was excellent. He called me at least every other day to update me on the job progress and what was going to be done next. He always answered my calls to him and if I left a message, it was always returned promptly. All of his employees worked very hard 8 hour days in the 100+ degree heat. They were all very polite and professional and the jobsite was cleaned each night. They were very grateful for the water and sodas I gave them each day. Ray kept in constant contact with his workers on the job to answer any questions that came up. Ray visited my jobsite at least three times a week which was impressive because his jobsites are spread over a wide area. I am so pleased with the final outcome of this project and have already recommended and secured an additional three jobs for R&R Landscape. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone wanting to do a project large or small for landscaping, hardscape, and pool refinishing. He is absolutely my first choice for all future exterior projects!!!!! Thanks Ray for a truly enjoyable experience.

Response from R & R Landscape Services Inc
This was a fun project the member was a blast to deal with, we were contacted last October and in July again, after making some adjustments on the estimate we signed. I normally don't honor estimates for a period longer than 60 days but I felt like I should since we she was very excited to go forward. The homeowner and the person paying for the project is a developer I discovered as he had his attorney that specializes in contracts revise my contract before we even put together the the final numbers. After everything was approved we went forward, there some interest by the homeowner to replace a rotted out redwood deck but in smaller version . I advised that for less money we would be able to extend the deck behind the pool with a retaking wall and maintain it at one level. It was agreed and it turned out to be a good move, everyone wins they gain their objective within the budget and and we have additional work added to the project. As a contractor and real estate investor I treat every job as if it were my own home and my own money. Where would my money be better invested and have the best return if I sold the property. I gave them 2 options for pavers they chose the cheaper product but when I was asked which one I would use I looked at the architecture of the house and told them I would use the option # 2 , once again not advantageous to my profit but a way better finished product. And you know what's best I sleep well at night knowing we gave the best product for the reasonable price, the member confessed to me that the other quote was 30k higher. Wow! Some of these guys think it's still 2007

I don't know who this member is we check all our messages every day and call everyone back. In addition to answering messages. Other than that I have nothing else to say my record speaks for itself.

Ray Reyes proved to me that quality and satisfaction are his priority. His fee for the work was very reasonable. The workers were very polite and worked very hard. It was about 100 degrees on the days they worked. The work was completed in two days. Rays commitment to customer service was verified when it appeared that there was a low spot right in the middle of the path collecting water in a puddle about 1/4 inch deep. I texted him a picture of it on a Sunday evening about 8:30 pm. He responded immediately and said they would fix the problem. The crew returned the very next morning and removed the offending section and replaced it. I really appreciated his quick response to the problem especially considering that my job was small. He has integrity. The path looks great and is a great improvement over the stepping stones that were there previously.

This was a straight forward project. Install a concrete path. Sometimes we all slip up, question is will you correct it and not a profit or do you lie your way out of it and offer your customer a product that is less than acceptable. For a three foot wide path there should not be puddling in the middle of it as there plenty of directions to pitch your path for water run off. If it were a large driveway or patio it's a different story you will get very small areas of water puddling. My masons did not pour correctly and the product was not acceptable for me, it was demolished and redone. I had a serious conversation with my guys about what went wrong to avoid this in the future. We've made the adjustments and have done more concrete projects since without a problem.

He is fabulous. We have continued service, because we have him as our regular gardner, but he did some landscaping on our backyard recently. We see him every week. I would recommend them and use them again. They were super nice, clean and good communication. They were very good.

We repaired a wall that was cracked by the trees. We removed part of the tree roots and tree trunks and replaced a section of the masonry wall along with new sprinklers and lawn. Many of our customers have different situations to address, masonry, pool, lawn and irrigation problems. We at R&R try to offer a different approach. Instead of the homeowner searching for different contractors to address all these issues. We take care of it at a reasonable price. Only one contractor to deal with for all your needs, sounds like it can't be true? Try us you won't regret it. We have experience in all fields of landscaping and have experienced personnel to take care of it.
