We eventually got 4 estimates for the work. Raul was the most responsive: he called me back the same day, came out to verify the site 2 days later, and got us his estimate 2 days after that. He was also the least expensive, by a tremendous amount: two other estimates were 2x his price ($5.4K), and the fourth was a shocking 3x his price ($7.2K). The reason Raul is so cost effective is that he found ways to save us money. For instance, he was able to reuse and re-cut every one of our old pavers to make the new leveled and relocated sidewalks. He was able to power-wash any that had sustained concrete damage from the construction. The other guys immediately wanted to buy hundreds of sq.ft. of brand new material. He built the new wood fence using posts and 8' sections at $24 ea. from Home Depot, instead of hand-assembling the whole thing. He covered up the pipe with the grass and dirt from the trench he carefully dug. He and his crew worked for 3 whole days and did an amazing job!
Description of Work: We had our old 2-car detached garage demo'ed and a new larger one put in. The beautiful surrounding landscaping was devastated in the process. Here are the gory details of what needed to be fixed: The brick pavers around the old garage were dislocated and damaged by the Bobcat tractor, and needed to be re-laid and leveled to the new garage door and alley. Several yew shrubs were lost, and needed to be replaced with 6 new ones. There was a bit of lawn damage that required some new sod. An old chain-link fence and wood fence were also damaged, so we wanted the chain-link replaced with 40' of new wood fence, and the old wood fence gates repaired. Finally, we wanted an 80' length of 4" black corrugated pipe buried across the back yard from the house (sump pump) to the alley for drainage.

The retaining wall was excellently and expertly done, as was the mulching and ivy removal. Unfortunately, due to fluctuations in the weather in April (it got quite cold after the work was done). I can't be sure how well the fertilization would have helped our lawn under more "normal" weather conditions. Price was very fair also. My only concern was that his crew came to the building when I wasn't home, on a day that we had not agreed upon, supposedly because another job that they were scheduled to do that day couldn't happen, so they just came over to my building. I was at work and couldn't leave to meet them (it's an hour commute anyway), so I let them start work. I had told Almanza in the beginning to NOT enter the neighbor's yard for any reason, and one of my fellow residents received a complaint about Almanza's crew entering her yard and "trampling" some of her plants when Almanza's crew was trying to get the ivy off the building. I had told Almanza not to do that wall earlier.
Description of Work: Work performed included: removal of ivy from walls of building, lawn fertilization and treatment, laying of mulch, erecting long, low retaining wall in courtyard along walkway.

I had not been able to do any yard work at all all summer. It was humiliating. I called several companies on Angie's List, and this company, which was my first choice based on the recommendations, was the only one who had time to do the job. They showed up in less than a week, and cleaned up the mess in a half a day. My only complaint is there's one more thing I asked to have done; they didn't do it and I can't seem to get a call back from Raul.
Description of Work: My extremely unkempt yard was completely cleaned up. They trimmed bushes, put in sod on the parkway, mowed the lawn, pulled a summer's worth of weeds and more.

Overall it was great. They were fast, inexpensive (less than other estimates), and turned the space from a hardscape into a landscape. There was a small hiccup over the kind of tree we wanted, but Raul replaced the tree (at labor cost only) and then re-sodded the area around the tree. We already have recommended them.

Awesome! He called back the day I called him. The next day he drove over to get me a quote. The quote was very reasonable. The next day he installed the flowers and sod. The flowers look beautiful! I would have to say it's the best service I have had in a long time! Great job Raoul! Definitely will use again!

This company was incredible. Raul came out the day after I called and gave me an estimate and the work was performed less than a week later. The crew arrived around 7:30 a.m. and were done by 9:00 a.m. They removed the bushes and then fertilized the soil. They worked very quickly and didn't make much noise taking out the bushes. They left the area clean of all debris.
Description of Work: Removed evergreen bushes and fertilized soil.

Mr. Almanza returned my call on the same day I left the voice mail. He came by the house the following day to give me an estimate. My husband and I have given up on maintaining our yard ourselves, so the $140 was for his crew's first visit. They will cut and edge our lawn every other week from now on for $45. Mr. Almanza is very professional.

For over 2 years, I've wanted to get this work done, but I thought it would be too difficult and expensive for quality work. Raul and his team of 6-8 guys provided a proposal, showed up on the appointed day and finished a large amount of work in 10 hours. They had the right equipment and did all the work the right way such as amending soil and rolling the sod. A previous landscaping experience in my last house made me a little nervous about re-sodding because it wasn't done the right way, but R & G Landscaping was top notch for a reasonable price. Plus, Raul is a super nice guy. I love my new backyard and have received multiple compliments on it.
Description of Work: Installed french drain, Re sodded half of backyard and placed playground mulch in the other half of the backyard.

I was interested in hiring Almanza, since they were rated as having very competitive prices (unlike many other listed landscapers). On my last phone message, I noted that if Almanza was too busy to accept new work at this time, I'd very much appreciate a return call letting me know that (and that I understood if this was the case). Nobody returned that call either. Almanza transcends unprofessional; they're just rude.
Description of Work: I called Almanza Landscaping four or five times, and never received a return call.

We were pleased with the job. Our neighbors asked for their card as well. They offer a standard monthly maintenance service, but we didn't feel we could afford it now.
Description of Work: We asked the crew to do a spring clean up. They provided us with a prompt estimate and came within days after we scheduled them. They stayed a solid 2 hours cleaning up our rather small, but not so pristine yard. When I asked them to trim some additional bushes, they did a nice job. Their work included: power raking, cut and core-aerate turf, edge walks, edge beds, apply fertilizer and pre-emergence crabgrass control.

Just signed up for another year with them for two houses. They're prompt, professional, reasonable, and courteous. They send paper bill and keep up with their billing well, and they even cleaned up after a big storm. We couldn't be more pleased with them. They're very knowledgeable about flower beds and they even mulched for us.

Raul is very responsive and pleasant. He returns calls promptly and is willing to show up to talk to you in person. His team was quick, efficient, and good at their work. He had suggestions for the yard and told us why certain plants wouldn't work, but he isn't pushy or overbearing at all, unlike many other landscapers that we met with. He only did what we wanted him to do and pushing nothing more. We are very satisfied with his quality service. Further, he was much cheaper than other landscaping estimates we received for the yard.
Description of Work: We had Raul and his team clear out the overgrown and ugly garden throughout our backyard and lay new sod in the back and front yards. They also do bi-weekly maintenance for our yard.
