Description of Work: First used this company in 2007 when we had landscaping done. Used them again in 2009 and last week to work on an oak tree. Rick personifies excellence in all of the categories ... his attention to detail makes all the difference in the world, The canopy on the oak tree is trimmed every two years opening up a magical glimpse of the night sky through its fine shape. Thanks again Rick. Alvera Pritchard

They were outstanding. I had ideas about what I wanted done, but I'm not a gardener myself. Rick Barocas was extremely patient and answered all of my questions. He listened well and was very easy to talk to. His staff was organized and everyone in the company was very professional. They were very honest about what they could and could not do. We get compliments on how it looks, and it has totally changed the front of our home. I couldn't have been happier.
Description of Work: They did a landscaping project in two phases.

Rick was extremely professional throughout the process. He was punctual, polite, informative, honest and reassuring (I was quite anxious about how things would turn out!). The workers were efficient. After the installation, I had some concerns about leaf loss and possible bugs. Rick came immediately to take a look. He reassured me that what was happening was to be expected as the plants adjusted. He recommended an organic spray for the possible bugs. Rick and the owner, Jeff reassured me that if plants died, they would replace them. Rick came back and checked on the plants. He installation was over a month ago- everything looks great and all the plants are doing well. I would highly recommend Rick Barocas to do your job. Be SURE to ask for him.
Description of Work: Rick Barocas came to my home to discuss landscaping the front of my home. He had been recommended by a friend who was very happy with his work. We discussed the design and plants. We drove around so that I could point out plants and designs I liked. Rick emailed me photos of plants as well. We discussed which plants would do well in my yard as well as low up keep. Once the decisions were made, the installation was done within a week.

LIGHTNING DOES STRIKE TWICE!!! Rick and Jim have AGAIN provided a spectacular solution for my home. I initially had work done in the front of my home by JW and hoped they could live up to my expectation when completing the rear - they surpassed what I expected. Their knowledge of the different species of plants that would work in my setting was comforting because if it were left to me, I would have picked items that would not have survived after being planted. Aside from providing the service, they also EDUCATED me on the do's and dont's of maintaining and caring for my finished project. As always, the project was completed within the expected time frame and at the agreed upon price. JW provides superior service with competitive pricing. There are no "hidden" or "back-door" techniques to their methodology. You tell them what you want - they'll tell you if it will work for your space - then they GET IT DONE. Rick, Jim, JW Landscaping Crew - Thank you again!!!.
Description of Work: Rick and Jim provided a lay-out of the work to be done in the rear of my home including landscape shape and all pertinent species to be used for the job.

Rick and Jeff stopped by last week and gave me an estimate of all the work I wanted done. This morning, they both showed up on time @ 8:00 a.m. with an additional crew of three. Since Tropical Storm Noel was approaching, it was a bit windy, but they were determined to finish the job on time, as promised. Eventually, Rick and Jeff had to leave to check on another job, while the crew stayed to finish the job. Everything was completed as promised and the clean up left the yard better than it has looked in years.
Description of Work: Trimmed Oaks (dead wood & thinned interiors); topped Schefflera to below power lines; cut/removed Areca palm stalks blocking "line of site" to Direct TV satellites; topped various Arellias along property line; clean up & disposal of all debris.

I was very happy with the job they did because they were friendly and were right on time to do the work. My house looks great and they were just so professional about everything. Price was a little high but well worth it.
Description of Work: They did a landscaping project which consisted of replacing my lawn, putting some new bushes and moving one palm tree. My yard is average sized.

Rick Barocas quoted the job and oversaw the work from start to finish. Work was done in one day and progress reports and consultations were done via email. Rick was the consumate professional, even emailing pictures of the work in progress so we could see the trenches as they dug. Drainage system performed admirably after heavy rain.
Description of Work: Installed french drain system for improved drainage and trimmed oak and palm trees for hurricane season.

Jeff and Rick did a beautiful job. They paid attention to what I said I liked and didn't like and really made the effort to follow my preferences both in type of plants and style of design. They are easy to contact and they stayed on top of a really frustrating situation with the City of Coral Gables, which is difficult to deal with when it comes to permits. From start to finish it took us almost a month to get the City to issue the permit. Jeff and Rick rolled with it and adapted to the City's requests for additional design and survey information. Once the permit was issued, they showed up when they said they would and if inclement weather appeared to make work difficult, they called to notify us they would be coming the following work day. They always showed up when they said they would. When a few plants didn't thrive right away, they replaced them without hesitation. I was very happy with the entire experience. We've already gotten quite a few compliments on the design.
Description of Work: We completely relandscaped our front yard with native plants, removing grass and basically xeriscaping the area to reduce water consumption.

Excellent experience in every way. Rick is extremely knowledgeable about landscaping, had many great suggestions and was attentive to our concerns and ideas. He was punctual and was not rushed to get the estimate completed. He listened to our ideas, inserted his own and the process left us feeling assured, they were the right guys for the job. Within a few days, we had a detailed estimate (at what we felt was a fair price) and we even came up with some additional work (the kids' play area work). Rick handled the additional work in a very fair way. They showed up and got to work as scheduled. The best part, Rick was there the whole time supervising and working on the job. This is HUGE! He not only quoted the work, but was also there to make sure it was done right and that nothing was missed. As you would expect, it came out great and we are extremely pleased with these guys. Your search for the best landscaping company is over, these are the guys!!
Description of Work: Removed coral rock stepping stones from circular driveway and removed dirt to make the front yard, more at road grade.

Cleaned a very large palm tree and removed rocks from play area and replaced with thick layer of mulch. Replaced sprinklers where needed. Made several excellent suggestions and relocated many existing plants to other areas.

I found this company on Angie's List. Rick arrived at my house at the agreed time and we walked through my project. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted and Rick gave suggestions. He sourced a plant for me that I saw at a neighbor's house but did not find in my plant book (Spanish Shawl). I had the estimate in my email in-box on a Monday, 2 days after Rick looked at the project. The estimate was professional, not cheap but I just got a good feeling with this company and decided to go ahead with the job for the following Tuesday. Rick followed up with me on the installation date and his crew showed up on time, even 30 minutes early! They were done after 8 hours. Like most landscaping companies, the laborers were Hispanic but Rick and another English speaking gentleman (whose name I did not get) supervised the job. The work came out as expected.
Description of Work: Removed Ruellia on left side of house, Snowbush on right side of house, remaining Ixoras along front walls of house, Fern on left side of house, 4 Foxtail Palms, small green bushes on left flower bed perimeter and right front island, Seagrape in front left island, Elephant Plant in front right island, weeded in all areas. Replaced Ruellia on left side of house with new one, Snowbush on right side of house with Ruellia, left and right Foxtail palms with bottle palms (provided by us). Trimmed/Prune bush around trees in front islands, Screw Pine. Planted Spanish Shawl and Philodendron. Added Pine Bark Nuggets to all areas, soil and fertilizer. Added Coral Boulder Stone. Adjusted irrigation where needed/

Dealing with Rick and JW Landscaping was truly a pleasure. After calling multiple vendors and getting numerous no-shows and no return calls our search stopped after meeting Rick. From forwarding pictures of the proposed species to be used for the project to constantly seeking feedback - Rick and JW performed way beyond our expectations. We will be utilizing their services again within the next couple of months when putting together a solution for our back yard/patio and pool area. Several neighbors have commented on the beautiful work done and inquired which company did our work - as they too are in need of a reliable solution - we of course recommend JW Landscaping.
Description of Work: Rick and the crew from JW Landscaping designed and installed a solution for the front area of my home. They completely transformed the area from desolate (due to storm damage) to truly eye-catching and appealing. Although an average sized space there was a significant amount of prep work which had to be done. Rick and his crew handily prepped the area for the installation of the species of plants and palms we selected (again relying on their professional input) and completed the job as promised in one day. They were professional, knowledgeable, and communicated with us throughout the entire process. Post installation, we elected to change one of the species of plants selected - it was done at not additional charge (as an even swap). There was no sub work - JW has it's own employees who are capable of seeing each job through from inception to completion. Most importantly to us - THEY SHOW UP AS SCHEDULED.
