They did a great job, quick and efficient. However, when we called for the Fall clean-up (4 times) we did not get a call back. Granted it was a little late in the season so I suspect that he was already busy. Nevertheless it would have been nice to get a call.
Description of Work: Lawn Spring clean up which involved power raking, tilling flowers beds, mowing and reseeding.

It went very well - see above remarks.
Description of Work: Mr. Padilla and his crew came in early May to prepare the yard for planting, cut a limb from a tree that was hanging on our garage roof, weed our front yard and prune the trees and bushes. They also prepared the garden area by digging up old plastic sheeting that another landscaper had put in years ago, taking out the top dirt and replacing the soil and turning everything over so it was all ready for tomato plants. They did a really great job. They came again in late August to weed, again prune the trees and generally get the yard and front yard ready for winter. Again a really great job. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a good professional job at a fair price. Mr. Padilla is very pleasant and easy to work with and he comes when he says he will. We will call them again next spring.

We started out with high hopes but Padilla was not consistent in maintaining our yard care. Communication was very poor--in some cases it would take 4+ phone calls to get a reply. The main issue was pertaining to our gate being locked and I asked for some consistency in when the workers would arrive--time and day of the week, so that I could unlock our yard. They were not able to give me a regular schedule and it resulted in frustration for me and the Padilla workers. They did a fair enough job when they came, seemed fairly priced-- but dealing with an organization that was so untimely with their customer communications was just not worth the hassle to me.

I have been using them for a lot of years and I have been very happy with them. We had two very large trees that had fallen on our fences and on our house during a storm. He came over with his crew on a moment's notice to fix it up. He cleared the whole mess out in a hurry. They were big trees. It was an eighty or ninety feet Locus tree and a forty feet Ash tree. They did not do any more damage at all while removing them and I was happy about that. They picked everything up and cleaned it all up. They did a wonderful job like they always do. It was worth every penny. I would recommend them.

We were very pleased with the service provided. The office staff are pleasant and efficiently got us set-up for regular snow removal service. Invoices arrived on time and were accurate. The snow removal was completed promptly when needed.
Description of Work: Padilla Lanscaping provided snow removal services for our two-flat building through the 2009 and 2010 winter. They charge $35/time they come to the property for snow removal. This covered removing snow from our front porch, front sidewalk, and sidewalk running the side length of the house.

They have been very responsive and consistent. They do a pretty thorough and good job. The snow and ice removal has always been very timely and well done. In terms of price, even though I do not know the exact price, I know that I looked at a bunch of options and they are one of the most affordable. I would use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used the services of Padilla Landscaping for my condominium building so we continue to use them ongoing. The last time they came out was probably been a month. They clean up the landscaping; maintain and clean landscaping. They also do snow and ice removal.

The first time they came, they were great, that's why I called them to come back again. But since then, they have proved that they are unreliable and they do unsatisfactory work. I called him several times and he never called me back. The workers themselves did good work, it was the quality of the products that were the issue.
Description of Work: They removed dead bushes and planted new bushes that are already dead. They encouraged us to lay dirt in our front yard because a lot had eroded. Whatever they used for the dirt, is not working, and we have not been able to plant anything in it since that will grow.

We were impressed with the professionalism of the firm; their punctuality and their willingness to come and give us an estimate over the weekend.
Description of Work: I contacted Padilla late on a Friday afternoon and I was impressed that I received a call back that evening seeking an appointment for Sunday morning. I followed up and left a message that Sunday would be fine. On Saturday, we were able to connect and finalized an appointment. Mr. Padilla arrived a little early, but called to advise that he would be doing so. He was very polite, respectful and left a written estimate. My husband was very impressed. We would have hired him on the spot, but the estimate was a little high and we expected other landscapers to give us estimates. Ultimately, we did use another landscaper because the price was better, but if we don't like the one we chose, we will definitely go back to Padilla.

Manuel is very professional and gave me the most inexpensive estimate. His crew worked for 4 days (they estimated it would take only 2 but it seemed to take longer than they anticipated and it was during that extremely hot 2 day period w/ temps reaching close to 100 so that was likely part of it). Manuel is very professional and stuck to his estimate, but he is a little hard to get ahold of (in the 2-3 weeks prior to his crew starting, I was unsure if he was still going to be doing the job because I'd call and leave a message trying to nail down a start date and not hear back for 2-3 days). He did get a cellphone during the job and I think it made it a little easier to find / talk to him. His crew did a very nice, very professional job with the tree take-down, trimming of overhanging branches, the grading of the patio, and the retaining wall around the tree. It is very well-graded, does not drain toward the house (Manuel was very careful about this and even put up extra lumber w/out extra charge to protect the house) I did ask him some questions about which plants to put in the front area and around the tree where he put up the retaining wall and he seemed less informed about shade plants, etc, etc. Therefore if you're looking for a plant-landscaper I don't think he and his crew are your men, but for basic yard clean-up, mulching, and pavers / retaining walls, they do a very nice job at an extremely reasonable rate. I would definitely use him and his company again and am actually thinking of calling to set up regular bimonthly yard / leaf removal service with him.
Description of Work: Manuel and his crew took down a small cherry tree, made a straight across fence into a hinged door (leading between front and back yards), put mulch down in all of the front area and back areas, laid down step stones in the side yard, trimmed branches from a neighbor's overhanging tree, put up a stone retaining wall around a tree (and added mulch) and ripped out an old, uneven brick patio, graded the area, and then laid down a new, longer/wider brick patio.

. They come once a month to spray and if necessary, like we see something in between they do it free of charge. They are very personable and timely. We have one individual that basically services our account which is really good. So we have always one guy who keeps coming back. He knows us, knows our property, he knows the problems we have had in the past and sort of watch for possible recurrences. I would continue to use them in the future.

He and his crew took about 3-4 hours to do the job. He charged a fraction of the price of other landscapers. Our lawn looks great! We will definitely work with him again. Based on our results, our neighbors have also hired him (and these are hard core gardeners.)
Description of Work: Mr. Padilla and crew did our Spring lawn cleaning including power raking, lawn mowing, aerating and tilling our flower beds. In addition he also cleaned our gutters, regraded and reseeded a large section of our lawn that was left bald after some cement work, and hauled away bags of leaves that was left from last fall.

The rainy weather delayed the work. When we had a few nice days, it would have been nice to know when they were coming. They did a great job cleaning up the yard and garden beds. After raking and aerating, they spread grass seed. The lawn looked very nice when they were done.
Description of Work: Spring clean-up - I called in March, but then the rains started, so work couldn't be done until April. Work done was power-raking, aerating the lawn, edging and cleaning up of the old leaves and such from the garden beds. It was requested that the area behind and on the side of the garage not be done.

On the commercial building, they did a great job. The walks were cleared in a reasonable amount of time and they did a thorough job. On one occasion after a bad storm I asked that we be moved up a little in the schedule and they were very accommodating. Overall a great experience and I felt a very good value. On my home, I have a similar experience. They did a very nice job and definitely got us over the hump of Spring cleanup. I was very pleased that they agreed to blow the leaves off my garage roof (flat roof)--I'd been procrastinating on that for a while. They left my yard, walkway and sidewalk clean. They also cleaned any clippings, etc., that spilled over into my neighbors property. It was a great experience. I would also add that they appear to be a small family company and that sometimes it takes a day to get a call back. Now that I've worked with them, I'd definitely say it's worth the wait if you don't in fact reach them on the first call.
Description of Work: Padilla Landscaping performed snow removal at a commercial building that I manage and did Spring clean up at my home. The commercial building is in the City of Chicago and is fairly large with a lot of sidewalk to clear. My home is also in Chicago and the yard was admittedly in poor shape from the winter. They cleaned it up, aerated the soil and even agreed to blow the leaves off the flat roof of my garage.

I’m very happy with them. They are punctual. They come when they say they will come. They spend a lot of time here working on the lawn if you need any help. Past week there were three guys who came. They were here for hours working on the lawn and removing all the debris from the winter. I’m very impressed. I would use them in the future.

Unfortunately our previous landscapers had become unresponsive and unreliable so we called Padillla as a mid-summer replacement. Mr. Padilla came out to provide an estimate within 24 hours of my call. He was extremely professional and spent time looking at the front, back and side of our property and patiently answered my questions. His crew started service the following week. They were reliable and professional and significantly more thorough than our previous company. We wished we had switched to Padilla sooner. (Note: the $20 cost was our weekly rate -- well worth it)
Description of Work: We hired Padilla to take over basic lawn care and leaf removal about half-way through the summer.

They did a great job. I spent about $800 on that service. They came and tackled everything that I wanted them to and cleaned up the back yard. They just did everything and it is no longer a jungle. I thought that the price was fair.
