Roberto and his crew are fantastic. I hired them at first for a cleanup, but then hired them again to replace my horrible lawn with Sod, and then have had them come on a bi monthly basis for lawn mowing, trimming and cleanup. They are efficient, and always do a great job - at a really good price.
Description of Work: Fall cleanup, which led to a new lawn and continued maintenance. They also did tree work.

Response from Roberto's Affordable Landscaping
Dear Customer, Obridago for sharing your opinion about our work, but I think you forgot to mention, we always answered all your emails, Roberto's called you several times and could not answer you. Its service was not realized with more agility because we depended on a better weather, we had several days of heavy rain and several blizzards from which it was impossible to carry out its work quickly and efficiently. I think you did not clarify well in your review the reality of the delay of your work and we are clarifying so that we all become aware of what happened. Since we thank you for your preference and let us know, our work can be executed very fast but we must have a good weather, otherwise we will wait for better days for the satisfaction of our client, which are very important for us.

Response from Roberto's Affordable Landscaping
Dear Customer, Thanks for sharing your opniao with us. We would like to clarify the non-performance of the work purchased by Angie's List, the work requested on your property would be much higher than the values and conditions offered by the big deal policy, but we offer a price to do all your work and still use your voucher value bought, but unfortunately the Lord refused to pay an extra job, and with the non - payment we could not do the whole job and also the Lord did not want to do only half and with that he did not accept our work. We are willing to do all the work in the way possible, but within the required payment.

Great experience working with Roberto & his crew. They were very proactive after I purchased the Angies list voucher emailing to schedule a time to come complete the work before the snow comes. They came with a group and were prepared to take down 3 trees (one that had branches hanging over a neighbors yard!!) and they worked through the tight situations without incident. They have been thorough cleaning up the yard. Great experience all around.

leaf removal

However, there had been a mix up and my weekly grass cutting company had collected all the leaves and left the bags. When Roberto's people came over, they had only removed the bags, but not done the work. I only found this out when I got a bill from my regular guy. When I called Roberto, he did agree that his people had not done my fall cleanup but only removed the bags of leaves from the house. So Roberto agreed to roll-over $140 for another service. Refused to give back the money. I asked him to provide the service this year by Nov 30th. He has NOT sent his people nor done the work. I have asked for the $140 refund. No response yet.
Description of Work: I scheduled for the fall cleanup which he quoted $210.

No work was done, showed up on time, said the don't haul away trees and that i lost my money. From professional service i would have expected at least an initial inquiry of what exactly needs to be done, and put exact wording in advertisement that "tree removal" means "only tree cutting" and not hauling away.
Description of Work: Apparently advertised "tree removal" does not mean that tree will be physically removed from your property

I hired him for four hours for $169 , after I described the work to him he wanted $500 dollar . Then he called me to schedule an appointment he then changed the price to $800 dollars . This company is not honorable and should not be use by anyone

Very scary! Because my tree exceeded the height limit, a new price was agreed upon (without the Groupon) even though the Groupon supposedly had the value that exceeded the agreed upon price. It seemed to me that this organization does not understand how Groupon works. I paid the new price to have it done because they were here. Then, without any safety equipment (or insurance?), a member of the crew removed his shoes and climbed the tree, tied to a chainsaw by a rope, which he used to cut down the tree. Luckily, nothing worrisome happened. By the time they left THEY DID cut down my tree, THEY DID cut the tree into manageable pieces, and THEY DID clean up the area.
Description of Work: Removal of a tree, probably 20 - 25 ft. tall. And cutting up downed tree into more manageable pieces (I disposed of the tree).

Nice Guy and responsive, but it was bait and switch. Instantly tried to get me to order more business. Ad said tree removal, but he said that only means to another part of my property, not off the property. He decided it wasn't worth his while to drive the distance to my house and do the 4 hours of light work. I don't think he's a tree guy, he's more of a landscaper. At least I was able to get my money back.

This is a terrible company and they should be removed from Angie's List. They refused to do the work and would only remove one shrub for the four hours of service. This was unacceptable to me and I told him he was being reported to Angie's List. I will not pay this company and would encourage all others to avoid this service. Not Angie's List quality.
Description of Work: Bought the $169 special for four hours of tree work. Very difficult to schedule since he does not respond to emails and his voice mail is always full. Finally got him to come out for the service and he quoted me another $2,000 to remove a few shrubs on the front of my house.

It took days of follow up to get a return call, as their service is managed on a cell phone which was too full to accept messages. Finally I connected with a person by texting to the number. It then took days for the crew to visit, as Roberto arrived with a few members of his group. By the time they arrived our paint contractor had taken it upon himself to cut back the branches we originally wanted removed. While Roberto was on site, we discussed removing two trees, and I told him I would get back to him. Again I went into the cell phone problem, so I texted and received a follow up call. I explained to the woman who had called that we decided to have the two trees removed in the spring, and that we would like to use the four hours to cut the grass on our property and remove leaves to the extent of the 4 hour contract. I was told Roberto's would send someone two days later, on friday, 11-17. Today Roberto called to say he had been told he had an appointment, but I had not called him to tell him our plan. I reminded him of my call to his "office number". He said he would be charging more money, to which I replied I had paid for four hours of his service. He told me he would not come to our property, to which I replied I wanted my money back.
Description of Work: I contracted with Roberto's service for a 4 hour tree service for $169.

I called Roberto, he came within 3h to look at the work to be done. 2 days later the team came over and tackled the job. I had a lot of trees down, this winter made a big mess. After a few hours my garden looked so cleaned and tidy. It s my second time using Affordable landscaping for big jobs and they are amazing. I hired them to take care of my lawn this spring summer. I recommend them with 100% confidence.
