I hired Roberto's Landscaping to do some basic lawn work. I found them to be extremely responsive - very good in terms of communication and setting up a time for the work. I wasn't at home when they did the work but it appeared to be very thorough with a good amount of seed spread across my lawn. The price was extremely fair and I would definitely use them again.

Within a few hours of posting a request for estimate on the work, I got a call and visit. We've lived in our house for 5 years and had never had professional yard/landscaping done so it was a big and messy job. Jose Roberto and I discussed the project and price and the team started immediately. I was impressed by the speed and hard-work... by mid-afternoon all the work was completed and our property looked fantastic and orderly! Specifics of the work: - 3 large (5'x5') shrubs removed - 2 smaller (2'x2') shrubs removed - all other shrubs pruned and cleaned up (about 5-6) - border weeded, edged and mulched - beds made ready for new plants - yard mowed and raked - whole property cleaned up and ALL debris removed The team went above and beyond cleaning up our easement, sidewalk and patio/path area. It was worth the cost!

We had 4 large, and in various stages of dead, locust trees that we have been concerned would take out our roof if the wind blew the wrong way. They have been dropping larger and larger branches over the last few years. Called Jose a few weeks ago for an estimate and he came right out and gave me one. Decided to use him and he got his crew out the next day. Took the trees down without incident. Took the wood away that I didn't want. Left me with the wood I wanted and stacked it neatly where I wanted. My neighbor had a dead tree in his yard and they took care of him while they were here. I would definitely use him again.

They were great. They showed up the day after I called, cleaned up the yard, including pruning, mulching, and removing poison ivy. They added stone edging in the front and a small french drain in the back where we often get water coming into our basement. They were friendly and professional.
Very responsive, professional, courteous, and hard working!

Awful no call no show likes bad employee doesn’t even have the nerve to respond to a text or return the call to say sorry or reschedule!! Then over the phone he wanted to just come and do the job before giving me a quote! Coupon on Angie’s list does not reflect what they actually tell you about the labor. They try to sneak in a few extra guys right under your nose! Terrible. I’ll be reporting to Angie’s lists customer services.
Description of Work: None they never showed or called to cancel!!

Response from Roberto's Affordable Landscaping
Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our comapny, but I think you should have confused our company with others, as we set their schedule to give the price for your work, we went at the scheduled time and we analyzed everything the necessary work to be done, because his property needed a lot of help, because it was very dirty and needed attention. We did a fair price for everything, unfortunately I can not do the work, because you let us know that you did not have the money to do the work and through Angie's List deal 8 hours $ 299.00 we would not have how to do all the work, property required a lot of attention, we tried to make an agreement, but you refused every time, because there was no money to pay the difference. Unfortunately, we could not do anything else, because without payment conditions we could not work free to do all that work. I let you know, all customers are very important to us, but I also have a commitment to my employees, we can not work for free because I have to pay my employees as well. If you are able to pay the correct amount to clean your property which requires a lot of work, because it has a lot of time that seems not cleaned, we will be willing at any time for the payment to perform our best service for your satisfaction. I hope you understand. Thank you in advance.

I bought a deal for 8 hours of landscaping services. Which ended up being 4 people for 2 hours, who scheduled right away and showed up two days later, on time. They did an amazing job - my yard has never been this clean. I will definitely hire them again.

Excellent job. They came through and were able to do my entire yard (1/4 acre) very quickly, and spread extra seed for me to ensure my lawn took (i did!) - was a tough job on a steep hill in a dusty, dog destroyed lawn.

They showed up early morning and with a hard working crew proceeded to completely strip the yard of old grass. That was followed by the laying of loam and an overseeding. The yard around the grass was cleaned and mulch was laid. All of this was done in a day. I was left with the instructions to keep it well watered until the grass came in and was established - which I had expected and which I did. I early on noticed there were large spots where no grass was sprouting. In the third or fourth week, I contacted them with that information. Someone came out and merely spread seed in the bare areas. Other than that, I never saw anyone again - no one came to check on the lawn's progress. For a brief period, I thought I had the lawn I had hoped for. But about two months in, brown spots began to appear. They have progressed and have been accompanied by quite a bit of crabgrass. I hired this group to replace my sick lawn with a new one. At this time the lawn has reverted to what it was when I enlisted their work. Whereas they seem quite able to do the heavy work of stripping the grass, laying loam, etc., I have no confidence that they know much about the science of landscaping. No soil testing was ever done. No fertilizing of new seed was done. No crabgrass preventative was done. No follow up was ever done. I paid a fair amount for this job and months later I'm back where I started with my "lawn."

Roberto's Affordable Landscape did not do the job I paid them for, at all. They could not find a day to come to my house when I would be available in order to show them the areas of my yard I wanted cleaned up. After several attempts at trying to schedule a date they stopped communicating with me. Seems to me they advertise these "DEALS" to get new customers and they couldn't care less if they complete the job or not. This is my communication with them: When are you going to contact me about a day that you can come? It has been a long time since I have heard from you. Do you just use Angie's List to offer deals you have no intention of completing. If I don't hear back from you I will have no choice and will give you a review of F and also request my money back. Laura 8:43 PM Tuesday, Jun 27, 2017 Dear Laura, We can do your job any day this weeks or next week after july 4. Please let me know your best day. Very sorry for delay, I out off office for family emergency. Sincerely, Cida. 8:24 AM Hi Cida, I cleaned up my leaves because I didn't want my yard looking messy. So please put me on the fall list for a cleaning. Thank you, Laura 8:50 AM Wednesday, Jun 28, 2017 Hello Laura, Just make sure, if your big deal no expire before fall. Sincerely, Cida. 9:52 AM Monday, Oct 30, 2017 Can you do some leaf cleanup this week or next week. Cida never replied to this last message.

Roberto responded on the same day to my quote request. He visited my property within 24 hrs. His quote was most expensive of my three quotes but negotiable. His professionalism and availability were key ascepts of my decision. His team showed on time. They worked diligently without incident. Trash found in the lot was neatly set aside on my property to be collected. Overall great experience.

Great. He even removed a tree at the request of my neighbor (on my neighbor's property).
Description of Work: Various trees and tree limbs removed
Roberto had a large capable crew. The work was done quickly and well. The extensiveness of the weeding and mulching surpassed anything I had expected. The brick terrace and walkway were very weedy -- and power washing did not do the job adequately -- so a fellow on hands and knees scrapped around each brick! The brickwork now looks like new!
Description of Work: Heavy duty weeding and mulching were done. The brick terrace and walkway were power washed and scrapped. Stone dust was applied to the driveway and was rolled. The wood gutters on the entire house were cleaned.
