+ -1 moreWonderful job! Jose and his team did a really great job cleaning up my garden and yard after I had not had weekly maintenance done in a little while and my yard/garden had overgrown a bit. His team worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done. Everything looks really tidy and nice, they were also great at listening to any special requests that I had. I will definitely keep them in mind for future maintenance and also recommend them to friends and family!

lawn service
+ -1 moreI recently moved into a new home with an elaborate garden that has suffered from years of neglect. Jose was very responsive and helpful in deciding how to proceed with restoring the landscaping and his crew has worked diligently to help get it back to its former state. So far my experience has been that Jose and his crew go "above and beyond" to ensure customer satsifaction. Would definitely recommend.

His son Ricky came on the appointed day with a fellow worker and all was done in one day. Prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and always returned calls immediately. Will be using him for future yard projects.

Description of Work: Did not have work done by Barba but the process of getting him to respond was very frustrating. He claims to have more jobs than he can handle but was rather snippy and rude with me not even promising to give me an estimate for the job I was requesting for a very long period of time.

+ -1 moreI called Barba Landscaping based on the ad in my regional edition of the Angie’s List magazine. Because the company is about 20 miles away, I asked Mr. Barba to confirm it serves my area. Rather than giving me a simple yes or no, Mr. Barba asked me to pitch him my project so he could determine if it was worth his while. In light of other recent reviews, his assumption that I might be bothering him about something menial was all I needed to know.

+ -1 moreTried twice to get an estimate about work we needed done. Talked to him twice, once on Saturday. He asked me to text him my contact information and he would contact me on Monday. No call, so on Wednesday I called again and he didn't seem to remember our call or the text or my name. Said he would check his schedule and call me back in fifteen minutes. When after two hours no response, I called him again, but his voicemail is full. Sent him a text asking him to call, but now it's time to move on to someone who wants my business.
Description of Work: No work done, couldn't get an estimate.
