ROBLES LANDSCAPING

His estimate was equal to or slightly better than other landscapers for taking up, preparation and re-laying @ 1800 sq feet of sod. Because I used him 4 years ago with acceptable performance, I used him again. My bad. He indicated that he would come on a particular day and he did not show up or call. I left a voice mail and he arrived two weeks later when I was out of town. He and another worker finished the job but the sod appeared to be yellowing. Most of the sod eventually died within a few weeks in spite of regular daily watering. I called a few times to notify him and he returned 1 call advising that I should use Revive. I had not heard back from him in spite of several attempts to get him to honor his guarantee. He is poor at communication and does not honor any type of warranty.

Robles and crew were prompt each morning and put in a full day's work each day. Old lawn was removed from the premises and new sod was placed after preparation of the soil. My old sprinkler system did not adequately cover the lawn and two new zones were added. Four existing terraces had gravel and flagstone added. A 40 x 14' deck had gravel placed underneath. The job was supposed to take 5 days however it was completed in 3 days. The original bid was high however Robles was willing to negotiate.
