Don't know, they never showed up to provide a quote.
Description of Work: I called them twice to come by and provide me with a quote. They kept promising to come out that day and never showed up. I wish they would just have said they weren't interested. I don't want to waste their time nor do I want to waste my time.

Response from George Cardenas Landscape Design
Hi [Member Name Removed], We apologize for any confusion but when Rudy first called our office on Wednesday (5/31), he was informed that someone would stop by within the next two days. Rudy then called our office again Friday morning and was informed that someone would be by in the afternoon to have a look at your property. Our estimator was there around 11:00 am Friday, approximately 48 hours from Rudy's initial call. A proposal was then emailed out this morning to Rudy. Unfortunately the process of writing up a proposal for our services can take a few days. Our company does not leave written estimates when we visit a property. Please contact us if you did not receive your proposal. We hope you still would consider using our company to service your property this year. Thank you.

Everything went fine, bids were provided on the spot, prices were competitive, work was performed when they said it would be and completed on time. We will contine to use Cardenas for our landscaping and concrete needs.
Description of Work: Cardenas replaced our car port concrete slab and completed a spring clean-up for the condo property. Gutters were cleaned, flower beds mulched and edged, and bushes trimmed. The existing concrete slab was broken and removed and the new slab poured, smoothed, and sealed.

It was amazingly quick. It was sequenced and was completed in about four days. They did more work then I anticipated for the bid. They also did some very specific concrete patches. They had to remove some patches and replace them. They did a very neat job. They brushed out a spot where a dog had walked on the wet concrete. Because they were landscapers, they were very careful about the bushes and replanted some plants that needed to be moved due to the work. They also re-mulched everything.
Description of Work: They did demolition of an existing curb and put in a curb that acted as a foundation for a wrought iron fence. They also replaced the city sidewalk in front of my house.

He was very good, accommodating and easy to work with. The worked turned out good. It was a rental property and the tenants are very happy. We ended up doing more than we anticipated. One thing, he did not put the fence back correctly. That was a little bit sloppy.
Description of Work: Sidewalk, patio & steps.
