Rivera Mulch & Landscape Inc.

Superior in every way! Shrubs had been killed by chemicals used in roof cleaning. Juan came by promptly to quote the job, emailed the proposal and it was scheduled shortly thereafter. The crew arrived early and they were able to remove the dead shrubs - a VERY DIFFICULT job since the old shrubs had been in place for about 20 years. The removal and installation went exactly as promised and everyone on the crew was fantastic - pleasant, helpful and extremely diligent. Everything was cleaned up before they left. Also worth mentioning is the great quality of the nursery stock that Juan brought. It was all healthy and beautifully formed. This is the second time I've used Rivera Mulch and Landscaping for a large and difficult job. I highly, highly recommend this company!

We hired Mr. Rivera to weed and mulch our garden beds and to trim all bushes and plants in our beds, as well as to remove some dead and ill-placed plants. In short, they did an awesome job and I would definitely hire them again. I will break down my review by category: Responsiveness – “A” – I called Mr. Rivera on a Monday to ask for an estimate, he came over the following day to take a look, and the day after that he emailed me the detailed estimate. After I decided to accept the estimate he scheduled my work for the following day. Very prompt. And as other reviewers have said he is quick to answer the phone when you call him or will call you back very quickly. Punctuality/Timeliness – “A” – The crew arrived at 7 am on the scheduled day, as promised. They were finished before 1 pm. Quality – “A” – Mr. Rivera and the other 2 men in the crew did an extremely thorough job hand-pulling weeds throughout our garden beds, and the bushes and plants were nicely shaped and well spaced. Attitude/Professionalism – “A+” – Mr. Rivera and the other workers were very pleasant and polite when I spoke with them during their work. (I give this “A+” because oftentimes when I have workers doing work outside the house they lean more towards being rude and/or just plain non-communicative.) Respect for property – “A” – Nothing broken or damaged, all areas were raked and cleaned up and pavement was swept and/or blown with a leaf blower at completion. Mr. Rivera asked permission before using my driveway to back up his trailer; I suggested he could use the grass but he declined because he was concerned about damaging sprinkler heads. Responsiveness to my feedback at completion – “A++” – There were a couple areas where I asked Mr. Rivera and his crew to pull a few more plants/weeds which they did with positivity and no grumbling whatsoever. We had a misunderstanding about the amount and areas of mulching I wanted done—even though I felt at least partially responsible for the miscommunication, Mr. Rivera took it upon himself and his crew to shift their plans for the next couple hours and went and got 4 more yards of mulch and brought it back to my house and spread it around the remaining areas at NO CHARGE. Despite my attempts to pay him for the additional mulch and labor, Mr. Rivera insisted that he would not accept payment. He did not want me to be disappointed and he was extremely gracious. This is a person who really cares about building his business and reputation, and while I would never want him or anyone to do any work for me for free, I would hire him again because of his character. Thank you Juan!

I received a notice from Pasco County that our property needed attention. As an out of town absentee owner, I wasn't aware my previous lawn guy had fallen ill and I had a seriously overgrown lot that needed taming. I called three names from Angie's List and Juan was the first to respond. He was quick to go to the property and said he could handle it immediately. I appreciated his quick response and he sent before and after pictures and he did a great job. I'm not going to be using his services again though because his quote for regular care was more than twice what I had been paying and subsequent quotes I received. I suspect his service is more suited to finer landscaping detail than weed mowing and I imagine he does an excellent job.

Was there next day and completed work. Did a great job

I wish I could rate this company higher than A because they deserve a AAA or better! Juan Rivera, his brother and another crew member just left my home and it's in PERFECT condition. In fact, it looks better today than it has in five years! Every bed now has a good, solid layer of mulch and each bed is neat and tidy with the trimming done prior to mulch application. The crew used a blower on the entire property so nothing remains behind. PERFECTION! After reading a review here, I called Juan and left a message. He responded within a few hours and came to the house the next day to estimate the job. I received an email estimate a few hours later. Two days later, the job is done! Juan was very pleasant and a pleasure to speak with both on the phone and in person. And his brother and the crewmember were equally terrific on every level - all gentlemen. In addition, I was given an Angie's List discount even though I never asked for it - exceptional professional honesty. The crew arrived and less than five hours later the entire property was completely mulched. It's terribly hot right now and there are 12-15 large beds spread over the whole property but everyone worked through it - pleasantly and without issue. Again, exceptional professional behavior. In two different states and many, many Angie's List hires, Rivera Mulch and Landscaping is the finest company I have ever found. I recommend them MOST HIGHLY and will look forward to seeing the whole crew here again!

They promptly responded to our request for an estimate. We agreed and set up a date. Everything went according to plan. Carlos worked to make my wife very happy.

Professional and friendly service will definitely be using them in the future.

Excellent service! Juan was very prompt, responsive & professional. My yard looks great! Would highly recommend using this company and I plan to use for future landscape needs.

Juan and his team were wonderful and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. We found Rivera Mulch and Landscape on Angie’s List, and thank goodness! Absolute professionals, punctual, quick to reply (even on weekends), and above all, qualify work. We hired them for the side yard and quickly hired them the next week for the front of the house. They will be back for more work there’s no question.

Wonderful contractor, friendly, hard working, family owned and operated. Definitely would call again in the future. Put down 5 yards of cypress mulch, 8 of pine bark and planted 25 plants in two and a half hours!

Clean, professional, friendly, and upfront. Excellent suggestions for plants and general layout. Quick response. Highly recommended.

Communication was great. Very knowledgeable and professional. Will definitely hire for future projects.

He was on time, quoted a fair price and did a good clean up after the job was completed. Very knowledgeable.

He responds to calls immediately. Was very punctual. He asked the right questions to gauge what I wanted and needed to make recommendations. Based on that he texted me photos of plants and after I picked what I needed he returned, went over everything with me and send me a written estimate. He then scheduled the job within days. I was extremely impressed with his promptness, punctuality and professionalism. You don't find many like this anymore. I am already thinking of other projects I will have him do at the house.

Could not have gone better. Juan returned my call within hours, was over the next day to see and estimate the job, and did the work the same week. Juan was professional, his crew were terrific and the cleanup was perfect. We will be doing some other planting and would not consider anyone else. What was an eyesore is now beautiful.

Juan did an awesome job, He was punctual, and his prices were very compoatible with the market, he gave us a great price. If you want your job done great and fast call Juan. I could not believe that he got the entire job done in one day. GREAT JOB Juan.

Excellent service! Juan called me to keep me informed of purchasing situation at the nursery and to let me know when he and his team were on the way. My property looks so so so much better. This was just the first phase, I’ll have him back out to do overall landscaping. Very pleased and pricing was reasonable!

Did a great job!! I would recommend.

Purchased the Angies deal. Juan and helper did an excellent job cleaning up 3 flower beds that i had allowed to over grow. I would uae again and recommend.

Be sure and ask how many hours they plan to work and the number of workers to evaluate the flat fee price.

Juan suggested some nice varieties and was able to do the job right away which was great because we were going out of town.

Very well. They were prompt with an estimate, showed up exactly as promised, did the work and left no mess. Will hire to do more landscaping after the first of the year.

Great work and good service.Don’t hesitate to call this company

Went great until Juan and his brother finished and Juan called me numerous (at least 8) times for on the spot, right now payment. I was in Clearwater working and said I could be back by 3.

They responded promptly and installed the grass varieties I wanted
