He was awesome! I highly recommend Isidro. He is such a sweetheart and listened to what I needed and offered advice that was sound. There were some rain and wind on the days we agreed to so he worked to reschedule me around his schedule. He also saved me money by using the exist flagstone and rock in our garden. I have been an East a coast City Apartment dweller for the last 15 years and really didn't know what needed to be done with a Santa Fe Garden. Isidro was patient and kind in his explanation and advice. We will definitely call him again.
Description of Work: Isidro re-did a flagstone path, removed a bush, trimmed and pruned trees and basically cleaned up all the weeds in our yard.
Isidro and wife Anna are a great team. They did a superb job on our portale, virtually doubling the size of the space. In order to do so, they had to clear out a mountain of dried grasses and weeds, then build up the surface to the same level as the existing portale using sand and rock. Isidro did a superb job of ensuring that the flagstone he purchased for the job would match as closely as possible the existing flagstone. He laid the floor in such a way that it will drain naturally in the rain. He also took care to work around drains that take away water from the roof. When finished with the portale, he found rock to match the rock wall facing of the portale, and built the wall up one or two levels, cementing where previously there had been no mortar. The end result is beautiful-- the job exceeded our expectations. Isidro was great about communicating with us every day what he intended to do that day. He never left the premises without telling us where he was going and whether he would be back or not. Both he and Anna are hard-working. Isidro also hired another mason to move the job along so it would be finished before winter weather set in, and he was also excellent at his work. The price quoted was very fair; we ended up paying more in materials than we expected, but nothing excessive. The excess flagstone remains with us for future projects, which we will happily employ Isidro to do. In fact, before he finished we discussed a couple of future projects come spring. I unhesitatingly recommend Isidro for flagstone work. In the spring, we can comment on other types of projects.
Description of Work: Cleared grasses and weeds from backyard area and converted area to a flagstone extension of our portale. Built up portale and rock wall where necessary. Price included materials and labor.

Super, reliable and I like introducing him and his services to my neighbors.
Description of Work: Isidro came out again today and helped us enlarge our driveway so we can more easily park the RV. He picked up two loads of the base, spread it and then went back and got the gravel that goes on top (gravel is a lot more expensive and Isidro new just the amount to buy) It looks great! He moved all the rocks around the edge and put an accent boulder in just the right place. He cleaned out the fountain and hooked it up, works like a charm. Husband has back sprain so we have been using Isidro a little more lately. Isidro is a good man to call!

Mr. Ortiz Was quick to respond to my voice mail and arrived promptly the next day at the time agreed upon. In arranging the first visit, he courteously called to let me know that he had been delayed on the job he was working at the time and we agreed to an alternate time. He started working early on Saturday morning, spent time on Sunday and finished up on Monday afternoon. One of the reasons for working on the weekend was to make sure things were ready for the contractors when they come to start preparation work. He is an engaging and friendly guy, working hard to provide for his family and has hopes to buy land and build.
Description of Work: Prepared site for upcoming stucco replacement. Required trimming all trees and bushes to provide work space between the plant and walls of the house, studio, and patio wall. Also did yard cleanup, weed removal and weed whacking, transplanting, and removal of all branches and debris.

Description of Work: Isidro did a good job for us with yard cleanup that had been let go for a long time. He is the only helper I have used since moving to Santa Fe that actually called when he couldn't make it as scheduled. This is greatly appreciated.

I always enjoy seeing Isidro Ortiz. He is a cheerful and honest hard worker. We have employed his services for about a year and a half. He has good english and I have referred him to many neighbors and they are as pleased as I am with the quality of his work. He follows directions and drawings very well.
Description of Work: Mr. Ortiz properly installed several rain barrels for us by compacting the ground, bringing in gravel and installing the diverters. Previously he has installed several beautiful flagstone walkways for us. He made them safe so that strollers, suitcases, and walkers can easily use the walkways. He has cleared fire hazards for us, removed dead cholla, and planted trees, one of which has grown 1 foot in 8 months!
