Chea and his crew not only landscaped our disaster of a backyard according to our specifications. They took it upon themselves to make additional very cost effective suggestions that have turned our yard into our favorite part of our home (and therefore increased the value of our entire property). The work was completed on time and within the budget we set. Chea's crew were polite and unobtrusive. We have since hired them to keep the yard in order on an as-needed basis. We will continue to work with them whenever possible!
Description of Work: We hired Chea to landscape our backyard last summer. He was given a sketch drawn up by a friend of ours who is a landscape architect to start. We specifically asked him to utilize the rocks and bricks strewn all over the yard, which was an overgrown mess. Since the original work was performed we have also hired his crew approximately once every six weeks for minor upkeep.

I have a large yard which is "natural" -- large trees and few ornamental plants. Every year in May, I have the weeds removed, and then the yard will normally stay clear until the rains start in the Fall. My previous gardener has moved and I found Mr. Chea on Angie's List. He has good reviews so I called him. He came to give me an estimate which I thought was fair. He came with his crew and they did a wonderful job of cleaning up my yard. They even swept my lower deck, which I didn't expect. Mr. Chea said that he had 10 minutes free and asked whether I needed anything else done, so I asked him to reprogram my sprinkler controls. He is obviously very experienced with those and did the job in no time flat. Mr. Chea is a very nice person and I will call him again for any gardening work that needs to be done.
Description of Work: Cleared my large back yard of weeds.

Chea did a great job! He came out promptly for the estimate. We walked the job area and discussed the scope of the work. He wrote a simple contract that we both signed. He spent two days here with a two person crew. He came by periodically to check in on them. My yard was completely overgrown. They whacked, cut and hauled away everything including raking up pine needles. It was a dramatic change. I've never had yard work done so well and so extensively; it was perfect. I am going to definitely call him back again. There was a lot of junk, too and they just worked around it or put it in a single location to get it out of the way. Several of my neighbors asked for his card as it was obvious their work ethic was admirable When I say good for the price it is because that is a lot of money for me and I have no idea how the price is comparatively as I didn't get multiple estimates.

It went very well. His guys were thorough and nice, they were here when they said they would be, and they worked very hard to finish in the promised time frame. I'm very pleased.
Description of Work: My back yard was an overgrown mess, with blackberry vines and ivy everywhere. In the front I had junipers. In the back, Chea's guys cleaned everything down to the dirt, but were careful to leave the few plants among the chaos that I wanted to save. In the front the junipers are gone, and he spread bark to keep erosion down until I decide what sorts of drought tolerant planting I want to go in there.

I regularly use gardeners for tasks around the yard. My gardener (who was great by the way) recently relocated to Texas, thus causing me to hire another gardener. I have spent $5k - $10k the past several years on general maintenance from putting up a fence as well as retaining walls and general work around the house. I had this guy come out to the house but he doesn't ring the door bell. I waited around for this guy and he had left without even letting me know. Then he calls back and tells me he won't be able to come back until next week.
Description of Work: He didn't perform the work. Didn't show up to review the property.

I was very happy with their quality of work. There were three people that came out and they arrived on time. They did the work very quickly and were very thorough. I thought that their price was very reasonable. My yard looked great after they were done.
Description of Work: They cleaned up an area of 30 x 30 foot in my backyard. This included cutting down six small trees and removing them and they also cleaned up leaves and other debris. The job was completed in one afternoon.

During the initial visit, Chea took pretty copious notes of my instructions - remove that, leave that, prune that, etc. When I got back at the completion of the job, I discovered that he and his crew had carried out my wishes even better than I could have anticipated. And, Chea had some good ideas for remaking the yard and tending the existing plants. I'm very pleased.

I called Chea & set up an appointment with him two days later. I appreciated his willingness to meet with me on short notice, as I was about to go on a two-week vacation & needed to hire someone before I left. He arrived 15-20 minutes late, but called in advance to say he was running behind. We walked through the yard, he was a good listener & also made simple recommendations to answer a couple questions I had. He then promptly provided a reasonable estimate right then and there, which I appreciated. I was very happy with the two larger projects Chea's team completed. The work was done to my specifications, on time and on budget. As for the bi-weekly maintenance, I've found that $50 is a bit higher than others charge for lawn-mowing & edging, as my lawn area is fairly small. Moreover, the weeding isn't always as thorough as I would like. However, I emailed him to comment on the weeding, & it improved the following week. All in all, I recommend Chea Uch!
Description of Work: In addition to providing bi-weekly lawn mowing, edging & weeding for $50 each visit, Chea's team has done larger projects in my yard. The first was to take out a fairly large quantity of weeds throughout the property: from the lawns, the beds & the brick pathways. His team finished a second job for me later on which was to remove all the wilted oxalis plants from the yard as well as drain a stagnant water feature (water only, no plants).

Chea did an excellent job overall, and compared to previous tree service we've had, did it for a reasonable price. I was very pleased, and our neighbor was very pleased. The crew was polite, quiet, and efficient, and did an excellent job of cleaning up and removing the debris. I will definitely use Chea's gardening service in the future.
Description of Work: Trimmed Birch tree, trimmed back neighbor's trees from edge of house, trimmed hedge, removed Ivy from Birch tree, topped neighbor's tree to restore view, topped our Monterey Pine and Oak trees to restore their view, trimmed Apple tree, removed Blackberry vines, etc.

Excellent. Chea was very personable, efficient, and he did an excellent job at a very reasonable price. I got several other bids and his was the least expensive for the most work. I definitely recommend Chea's company.

I called Cheas gardening and the owner was able to come by the next day to give me an estimate for removing a large branch off a very tall tree. He was able to make an appointment within a few days to do the work. He completed the job as promised and cleaned up the area. I had him come by again to work on the root of the tree which was starting to lift a concrete block along my driveway. He came by and did the work, but I asked him to return since the concrete block which was returned to the spot the tree root was trimmed was not level. He came back and levelled the area and now the concrete block lays flat. Overall, I am pleased with his availability, promptness, and reliability.
Description of Work: Needed a large branch removed which had dropped and I was concerned it would break. Also, needed to have a portion of the root trimmed down since it was starting to lift the concrete block on my driveway.

Cheas Gardening removed a dead tree and repaired small mudslide damage around our home. Weeds were also cut down and minor pruning was done on some of our trees. They did a good job cleaning the area so mud would not be tracked in the house. Overall we had a pretty good experience with them.
