Perfect...arrived on time, went right to work, very personable. I used the Angie's List special, so I pre-paid, and there was no problem with the cost or the work to be performed. As mentioned by others, phone contact seldom works. However he always responds to emails, and I now have his cell phone number for future work. I was more than satisfied.

Very well . I am very pleased with their work. This is the second time I have used Roberto's Affordable landscaping. The team was very efficient and did a great job removing my dead birch trees. I have already spoken with them to do the Spring clean-up!

After many attempted calls (they didn't answer the phone and the voice mail is always full) and unanswered emails, finally I got the email back. They came and ask to pay more, when we were negotiating how much in addition to what I have paid ($139), they left without doing the work . The only thing they did was racking a little bit of the dead grasses (virtually nothing) and less than 5 minutes. This is not a real business and is a scam.

Not ideal. Over estimated the number of square feet in the yard and then charged for those at a rate well above the original charge per square foot.

They arrived on time. The advertised price was $169 for 4 hours of work. Two guys came, looked at what I needed done, and said it would cost an additional $300 because the branches were larger. The branch stumps that were left were jagged and too long. They were at my house for 2 hours (4 man hours). My bad for agreeing to pay the extra $300. Just wanted it done.

I was told that they would arrive at 8 AM they called about 10 after eight to say they would be coming 2 hours late. I complained and they said they would be there in 40 minutes but they actually arrived a little after 9 AM they really did not seem to know how to tell which branches you take out of the tree nor did they make the cuts from the underside of the branch and then the top side of the branch they also refused to take any of the The tree trimmings away telling me that that would be extra at this point I'm not sure I would really use them again

We had good communication via email to set up the date and time. They showed up about an hour early. When they got there they told me that my yard needed to be mowed and the leaves and sticks needed to be picked up before they could aerate and seed. It would have been nice to know that information before they arrived. I spent another $400 for them to mow my grass and clean up my yard which took about an hour. I have a small yard. In hindsight I should have rescheduled and mowed and cleaned up my yard myself.

I bought the deal in the spring, and then we scheduled it for the correct time in the fall. He showed up, and did a great job! I could see the holes all over the lawn. He left his card, and it was beautiful.

The quality of the work is excellent. They are highly professional, arrived on time, and brought plenty of workers to get the job done quickly and efficiently. The prices are very reasonable for the work that was done. I have recommended them to many other people.

I purchased the "deal" on angie's list. The company was responsive and arrived on time, but I was immediately upsold on the deal I purchased. When I told Roberto that I just wanted the 6 hours of work I bought, he was a bit upset. There was probably more work to do than 6 hours, but Roberto's team proceeded to dilly-dally and not work hard for the 6 hours I bought. This deal is a classic example of up-charging the customer. Apparently it's either the platinum $1,000+ option, or nothing at all with these guys. You barely get any work done for the $299 you spend on the deal. It's disappointing, but I probably should have known better. When it appears to be too good to be true, it usually is!!

Roberto contacted me almost immediately after my purchase and we set up a date. He had a crew of four, including himself, and they got a lot done in the hour. Roberto was very professional and I enjoyed working with him. I gave a B on punctuality only because they came late in the day (to be fair we hadn't set a specific time other than afternoon). I gave a B on price only because I felt the price charged for taking away the debris was high. I would definitely use them again and am very satisfied overall.
