Excellent!
Description of Work: Rigo and his team at Purple Trees Landscape Maintenance have taken care of our yard since March 2013. They are extremely professional and pleasant to work with. In addition to regular maintenance, they have performed a number of special projects for us including irrigation, drainage and landcaping. We appreciate that we don't need to manage them and that they are very responsive when we have special requests. They proactively maintain shrubs, etc., so that they grow into a nice shape and don't become overgrown.

Description of Work: We recently moved into our first home and wanted to re-vamp the front yard. All the grass had died and the flower beds that lined the front of the house were barren. We reached out to several companies for proposals and ended up settling with Rigo and his team. I can not speak highly enough of Rigo. He was incredibly professional, friendly, and honest. He and his team were punctual and did a fantastic job. When our sod started dying a couple weeks after it was put in, he came out and replaced the dead patches. When we had questions regarding our lawn, citrus trees, or sprinkler system we'd reach out to him even after he had completed the work we contracted him for and he'd answer any questions we have. Neither my fiance nor I have a particularly green thumb, but he never made us feel stupid or crazy with our requests. In total, he replaced our lawn, broken out sections in the sprinkler system so not everything ran at the same time for the same length, put on new sprinkler heads, ripped out old sod and replaced it with new stuff, put in 2 citrus trees, and planted a bunch of roses and small flowering plants. His prices were extremely fair and if we ever need ANYTHING done to the house in the future, we'll be calling Rigo.

Description of Work: Purple Trees Landscape & Maintenance have been taking care of my lawn for about 6 months now, and I have been happy with the service. Rigo, the owner, is very professional, responsive, and definitely has a passion for landscaping. His crew does a good job, mainly just mowing the lawn and some minimal plant trimming - right now we don't have much to speak of as far a foliage goes on our property. The rate for our property's needs is $135 per month - I'm sure the rate varies based on the workload. | |I would say my only criticism is that sometimes the crew can be a little sloppy - broke a few cheap plastic solar lights I have in the backyard, sometimes don't blow leaves off the front stoop/steps and away from the garage door, etc. And they do tend to not be extremely proactive, leading me to find things like weeds and a newly planted tree that was dead. So I do have to give them a slightly lower rating for quality. However, as soon as I bring any issues to Rigo's attention, he makes sure they are taken care of immediately. | |I did have them plant about 25 new tree/shrubs in my front yard, as well as move the sprinklers to accommodate the trees, about a month ago, and I was charged approximately $1800 for everything, including the trees themselves, which I felt was fair. As I mentioned above, one of the trees died, but once I brought it to Rigo's attention, he had the tree replaced for free, and so far so good with the rest of them - growing tall and strong. I was very happy with the result, and we are now talking with Rigo about added trees to our backyard. | |Overall, I would highly recommend Purple Trees if you care about your lawn, trees, and plants, and you want them to look great. As long as you bring any needs to Rigo's attention, he and his crew can deliver. I will be continuing to use them and am very satisfied.

.I am extremely pleased with Purple Trees Landscape Maintenance. After 40 years of owning a home in Southern California, I have finally found an excellent gardening service to maintain my landscaping! The owner of Purple Trees, Rigo Perez, and his crew are meticulous and demonstrate that they have a deep understanding about plants and how to care for them. Rigo and his crew spend a good bit of time each week at my property and leave nothing undone. Rigo is extremely dependable and a pleasure to talk to. My garden has never looked better and I highly recommend Purple Trees Landscape Maintenance.

Besides the cleanup, Rigo had good suggestions for landscaping improvements. At the time of his estimate I asked for the front lawn to be edged at the time of the cleanup. This was part of the complete cost was well worth it. It is a pleasure dealing with this very professional company with all of their experience. I am going to continue with them on a regular maintenance program.
Description of Work: This was for initial cleanup and renovation of moderate sized garden with a great deal of overgrowth and a large slope. Large vines and shrubs were trimmed and smaller ones rounded and cleaned up. Everything was minicured and all trimmings removed. I couldn't be more pleased.

I emailed several different contractors for this job. Rigo, the owner for Purple Trees Landscaping contacted me I believe the very next day, if not the day of my initial email. We setup an appointment for a quote. He gave us the quote. Luckily we were able to get him in to do the job sooner rather than later which was great! I also want to add, both times he scheduled to arrive (quote and job day) he arrived on TIME. If you know contractors, arriving on time is not the norm. Rigo is calm in demeanor. He is polite and humble. And even though it was a very hot Saturday in late June...in the valley, him and his crew get the job done. They have all the equipment they needed (some contractors we have dealt with asked to use our tools in the past). They even brought a cooler with water, which most of the times, you dont see. They came prepared and they are efficient.Because our experience was so pleasant, I am pretty sure I will be contacting Purple Trees Landscaping again. I would be an idiot to go elsewhere. He truly is the epitome of someone we appreciate doing business with and WILL continue doing business with. We also have several friends who have purchased homes recently and are going to purchase homes, and we plan on letting them know about Purple Trees Landscaping. Our backyard is clean and not embarrassing to look at any longer! Thank you Purple Trees Landscaping!!!
Description of Work: We had weeds everywhere in our backyard. We had uneven dirt and debris all over. Rigo and his crew arrived on time and began chopping away at the weeds. Then removed bricks and rocks and other debris. Raked and removed the remaining brush. Rototilled the entire yard as well as leveled and graded it. Cleaned up the mess as well by hosing down the driveway and walk way.

I wasn't happy with my previous gardener... big shock! My lawn was dying. He kept telling me my main water line needs to be replaced. The truth turned out to be that all my lawn needed was new sprinklers. I don't appreciate lying or unapologetic incompetence, so I began a search for a new gardener. I interviewed about 5 companies. The lowest bid I got was $75/mo and the highest was $135. Purple Trees came in the middle. The reason I went with them is because of Rigo, the owner. Rigo is a young guy. In fact he employs a crew of young guys who aren't jaded and p***** off all the time and ignore your questions. He is eager for your business, but he does not push. He is respectful. You can reach him by email. You can reach him by cell. By text. And he responds. And he speaks perfect English so he understands my concerns. All his crew speaks English, so you never get a "No se, necessitas hablar con el jefe." They answer your questions or they get Rigo to answer. Rigo is also patient and funny. And get this, you can pay him online. Say whaaat? Yes, online. The sprinklers I had just replaced were too big and getting the cars on the street all wet. Rigo agreed to replace them for free for the correct sizes in exchange for keeping the larger heads for his use elsewhere. He serviced all the sprinklers, adjusting them as necessary, something the other gardner never did. He reseeded parts of the lawn that were bald. He took his time leveling the ground properly, stomping it, rolling it. It took him the better part of an hour on an off day and he charged a very competitive fee which included his labor and materials. I love the fact that he's always happy to talk to you each time he comes out and entertain your crazy notions. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend him.
Description of Work: I pay $100 per month for weekly Lawn and Yard maintenance for what's approximately 2000+sqft of yard space (front and back yards). Mow and blow, keeping up the flower beds and hedges, making sure the sprinklers are working properly... and most importantly I pay for the professionalism, responsiveness and English speaking skills this gardener posses... finally!

What I loved about using him for this job was that I met him there on a day that was convenient for me, hired him over the phone and when I went there 4 days later, the yard just looked sensational. I didn't have to be there, i didn't have to remind him to do anything, I didn't have to pay him before hand or give him money to buy the fertilizer/plants etc, I didn't have to live there, he just trusted me, did the job when he said he would, did exactly what he told me he'd do (he emailed me a detailed list of everything we had talked about when he submitted his bid) and it was done. I mailed him my check and it was just so easy! I don't think he's expensive anymore.
Description of Work: Rigo Perez owns Purple Trees Landscaping and Maintenance. I called several gardeners to come out and give me estimates and he was the only one who showed up/returned my call. The house is a rental property and is currently vacant and I live 90 minutes away. The last gardener who worked there (like the other 2 before him) just mowed the lawn and blew leaves, and after three years of that, and then no service at all for a month, both the front and back yards looked like a house a bank owned and forgot about. Everything was overgrown, weeds were crowding out the grass which was shin height. Years worth of dead leaves had accumulated in the potted plants. The climbing vines which cover the house had 1/4 inch of dust. Spider's webs, leaves etc were tangled in them and one portion of the yard couldn't even be accessed because the vines had grown so thick that the gate wouldn't open. Plus, the last gardener thought it would be a good idea to plant the flower bed that ran along the front walkway with not flowers but corn stalks or something in the corn family. They looked like hay stacks. (I have no idea what he was thinking). This house is located in a prestigeous neighborhood on the westside and is capable of renting for a lot of money, but the way it looked nobody was interested---nobody even saw it when they walked passed. Rigo met with me at my convenience, was on time, took his time to walk the property with me and find out what I wanted, then submitted 2 bids that evening. One for weekly maintenance and one for a one-time clean up. Each bill itemized exactly what was to be done. His monthly price for front and back yard was $145. The one time clean up was $382. The price seemed a little bit high to me, I have to be honest, but I've been used to paying gardeners who come out once a week, turn on the sprinklers, mow the grass , chase the leaves out of the yard and leave. The sickly plants stay sickly. The dead plants stay dead---month after month. The healthy plants take over the whole yard and look ragged. He explained that he and his crew are meticulous. They stand there and pick dead leaves out of foliage one by one, make sure all the plants are sculpted, keep everything perfectly fertilized, so that the yard looks wonderful when they're done but it looks better and better every time they come, until everything looks the way plants look in a nursury. I liked him. He was up front and easy to talk to. He was exceptionally polite and picked up his phone EVERY TIME I CALLED. So I hired him for the one-day fix, and he came out two days later and worked a miracle on that yard. It hasn't looked this good in 20 years. He didn't leave a leaf on the walk, OR a leaf in the potted plants OR a leaf tangled in the creeping fig covering all the walls. Everything in the yard 6 feet and under was pruned and sculped just like he said. The vines that had taken over one side of the yard were removed. He put in stepping stones, took the corn out and planted really nice flowers all over the yard and fertilized everything. Now everything has a bright shiny quality to it. Now I'm spoiled and I want to keep him for weekly maintenance even though it's a rental just because the difference between what I was getting for $110 and what he does for $145 is light years! I know under his care that yard is going to bloom 4 seasons year and the spiders are going to all move next door. He's insured so I trust him to trim my tallest trees, and there's no language barrier or difficulty getting in touch with him. He keeps hims appointments and commitments. I can't recommend him highly enough. Whoever put him on Angie's List to begin with---thank you!

Rigo Perez of Purple Trees bid on my large garden. I had been using a gardener for several years who basically made a huge mess, and I had to get another person in to clean up the years of neglect. I hired another company to clean up, but when I asked to bid on my regular maintenance the other company never called back. Purple trees responded right away for my request for an estimate. THey came in lower than I had been paying my prior gardener to do nothing. Rigo has been coming weekly ever since and doing a great job. He is very meticulous, listens to what I want, generates ideas himself, and maintains the garden perfectly. I have been using his service now for almost 2 months and couldnt be happier. I strongly recommend Rigo and Purple Trees.
Description of Work: First he found a pesky leak in my water system that was very hard to locate- he did it scientifically and fixed all the problems. Then he has done all of my garden maintenance start to finish.

We hired Rigo in February. We have had many gardeners during the thirty-five years we've lived here but the quality of his service far exceeds anything we have have experienced. He and his crew are smart, communicate well and demonstrate a real desire to do an excellent job. I highly recommend Purple Trees Landscaping Maintenance.
Description of Work: Purple Trees performs weekly gardening service at our hillside home in Encino. The job includes the maintenance of two lawns, hillside cover, flower beds, trees and hedges. He also does additional new planting and other landscaping projects

Excellent, consistent, professional service.
Description of Work: Rigo is my regular landscaper. For $150 per month, he maintains my entire yard. Once a year, for an additional fee, he will also fertilize and plant new flowers. He also trims all the trees, when requested, again for an additional fee. We live in a gated community with very high standards for the upkeep of our private yards. I've used Rigo for over five years and have never had a single complaint from the homeowner's association or any of my neighbors. In fact, several have asked for his info and hired him since he does such a consistently excellent job. He may be a little more expensive, but I happily pay his costs for his high quality work, his consistency of performing all his duties and his professionalism. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering bringing on a permanent landscaper, esepcially if you have been disappointed by others in the past who don't consistently keep your yard and landscape up to your personal standards.

They are really good. I have hired them as my permanent gardeners. They come out every week. They are our primary gardeners. They do what other gardeners do but there is a big difference. He does it himself and he doesn’t have other gardeners. The owner is really good and he started about 10 years ago. The other guys who were doing weren’t that very good. They were even stealing plants into the house. He is very conscientious and he knows a lot about the plants and what to do. They are top notch. Their price is really good for what they do. The quality is definitely good. They are always on time and they are professional.

I would highly recommend Purple Tree Landscaping to my friends and family. If you want professionals than call Purple Tree Landscaping.
Description of Work: Purple Tree Landscaping is an extremely professional and cost effective company. Rigo and his staff trimmed and manicured my front and back yard. I purchased a home that had not been maintained for years. There was over growth throughout the yard. When Rigo and his crew were done it made my yard look wonderful. I could see the tapanga canyons and the view I never knew I had.
