I spoke with Eric on the phone to set up an appointment time. He set an appointment for 5:00 pm on Tuesday of the following week. He also requested that I fill out the on-line contact information sheet, which I did. On the form, I described the desired work and asked for a confirmation of the appointment time. He never showed up for appointment, never called, never responded to my request. I would never hire this person as his work ethic is totally irresponsible.

I love that I can contact Eric by e-mail early in the morning and the snow is always removed when I get home from work. They do a good thorough job and are completely reliable.

Was recommended by former home owner to set irrigation system up and adjust for any changes over winter. On initial call, after asking questions about his services, asked for his availability. Was told he'd call back later to set up appointment. Never received another phone call until after leaving a message a week later. After more difficulty to get a hold of, appointment finally set. However, Eric never showed up ? didn't call to say he wasn't going to be able to make it or reschedule.
Description of Work: Was supposed to turn on irrigation system, check for anything that would need to be repaired and adjust programming due to changes over winter.

The initial cost was a concern for the association's board of directors, so they have not moved forward on the project at this time. Other than that, I was very pleased with Eric Cano's knowledge, demeanor, professionalism, and willingness to work with our interests in mind.

To be fair, the yard needed significant work after 12 years of semi-neglect. We had a hard time agreeing on the work despite walking my property 3 times. Original bid request was done the middle of April and revised the end of April. Work began in mid-May, with a requested completion date of May 30 due to us needing to move our dogs out before the rear grass was repaired. Work was finally completed on June 6. There were serious communication issues throughout the project. I felt as though my project wasn't "big" enough to garner the attention it needed. At one point, I was told the work was complete despite the fact that the front rock bed had not been touched. Eric Cano finally went out and looked at his employee's work and agreed to do the job correctly. Eric is friendly and helpful, but I just felt we were unable to agree on this job. In several conversations, Eric Cano stated that the delays and miscommunications were because my husband and I had different ideas on what was needed and he didn't want to come between us. I felt this was not professional and really just an excuse for only giving half an effort to our project. It was hard finding any landscaper to do this clean up work. After finishing this project ourselves, including repairing the damaged caused by dragging wheelbarrows over the front lawn and weeding the rest of the rock beds, I advise people to just hire the neighborhood kids and supervise them. It would probably be less stressful.
Description of Work: Finished paver walkway, trim trees and shrubs, reset rock including bringing in more to fill in bare patches, completed paver set along fence line, remove lattice from fence, remove and replace sod from damaged areas, haul away yard debris.

Eric Cano is obviously a professional in his field, including the administrative aspects of his business (alas, too many small contractors fall down in this regard--unreturned phone calls, overlong waits for written estimates, etc.) I had a professionally drafted landscape plan in hand; Eric spent considerable time explaining how he would execute it, so that I could fully understand the process. Within 48 hours, I had received his detailed and comprehensive estimate. Each task was priced separately, so I could clearly see when the money was going and specifications on how he intended to perform the work. I had several questions on his estimate, to which he responded within 24 hours. The only reason he is not doing this job is that his price was significantly higher than two of his competitors. I would definitely contact him again.

Eric was great, we called three companies and he was the only one to get over to the house right away and provide an estimate. Once I hired him, he worked with our tenant at the property to have the work completed in a timely fashion. He responds quickly and thoroughly to my e-mails. Would definitely use them again. Thanks, Cano.

[member name removed], I showed up and measured the area of lawn that you wished to have removed and left you a message regarding the details of what I saw and what I thought it would cost. I never heard back from you so I figured you had gone in another direction with the project. I apologize if you thought I had not responded to your inquiry, but indeed I did. In fact, I still have the details of the site visit in my day planner as to date, time, and details of the visit. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to further resolve this for you. Thank you.

We hired Eric and his crew to finish off our yard that had been a family project for several years, and they did not disappoint. We had done so much and needed a professional team to finish off the soil and sod. They arrived as promised and got right after it. They tackled several unexpected challenges throughout the job easily. They tilled in the soil amendment as required for the CSU New Establishment watering permit, we didn't think our soil could look be healthy. During that process they made adjustments and repairs to our sprinkler system. Eric wanted to ensure that their work would not be wasted. Once the sod arrived installation was quick, and it made an instant change. For years, our yard never had grass, so wow, what a change. Eric and his team were awesome, I am pretty detailed focused, and it was great to find someone and their team who did the job as if it was their own home. I would hire Cano Custom Landscapes in a minute for our next job. Eric and his team took our yard to the next level and we were extremely lucky to find them. So to all our Angie's List neighbors, we highly suggest that you look to Eric and his team for your next landscape project. They will take care of you!
Description of Work: Soil preparation to include tilling in soil amendment, sod installation, 2800 SF, sprinkler system repair and adjustment.

This whole process was FANTASTIC. Eric Cano gave me and accurate and honest estimate. Though a little pricey, in the end I got what I paid for...a perfect rehabilitation and gorgeous front year landscape. Eric had the right size crew and equipment. They were professional, worked clean, and worked fast. The materials used were top-knotch. The entire process, which would have taken me weeks, was finished in just under two days! If I ever need additional landscaping, Cano Custom Landscapes will be my first stop.

Eric was responsive to get out to my home to give me an estimate and offer some alternative ideas. He definitely knows how to prune the many different plants and what can't be cut. He is also very knowledgeable about sprinkler systems and was able to redo my existing system, using a hybrid of some spray on my large beds and then using drip systems where more appropriate. This time of year he is busy but will be responsive and get you in the schedule as soon as you commit. Took me less than two weeks to get my work done. Eric and Cano Custom Landscapes are true professionals, responsive but a little higher priced than other quotes. You pay for what you get and I wasn't disappointed.
Description of Work: Eric and crew needed to do extensive pruning, thinning of bushes, yard and pine needle clean up. He also had to revamp my sprinkler system putting a mix of mp rotator sprinklers for the mature flower beds and then running new lines and drip systems to other beds on the side and back yards. He was also able to convert one of my zones into a spray system that would spray out about 35 feet from the house to provide a moisture/fire barrier as my property backs up to open space/trees. As part of the yard work he also brought in 15 yds of mulch that needed to be spread around throughout the yard in front (two beds 75 x 75 ft) and side and back flower beds. They also spot filled in my rock trim with two tons of rock.. Eric and Cano Custom Landscapes are true professionals, responsive but a little higher priced than other quotes. You pay for what you get and I wasn't disappointed.

I had to call several landscaping companies to find someone to come and provide a quote - everyone was so busy. I finally received 3 quotes. Eric returned my call right away and scheduled the estimate date. He came on time and provided a quote within a week. He told me it would be approximately 3 weeks before he could start work and that's what it turned out to be. His crew worked very hard and were very nice.
Description of Work: Cano Landscapers changed/updated my sprinkler system, laying new pipe and adding new sprinkler heads. They laid new sod in the front yard and power raked and reseeded the back yard. They also reduced the amount of grass, adding mulch around the outside. They were extremely professional and hard working. I am very happy with how the yard looks.

Great. Once the existing grass was dead, they started on Monday and were done Friday afternoon. 5 days!! I would contract with Eric Cano and his team again. Funny enough, I think 2 neighbors hired him to do work in their yards while he was finishing up our yard. :)
Description of Work: We wanted to landscape our back yard with some good sod in some places and lots of mulch in others to reduce water use. That involved removing a huge juniper bush, moving a tool shed to get their tractor in and out, and renovating our existing underground sprinkler system to fit the new laydown (removing some of it, adding new lines to new areas and replacing the sprinkler areas). We contacted Eric (owner), because a friend used to work with him. Eric came to our home, walked the back yard, discussed what we wanted based on our budget and gave tips on what we should do. He provided a written estimate in 2 days. We asked to modify some items and it wasn't a problem. Got a new estimate, had some more questions. He asked for 35% down prior to work. They don't take credit cards.
