Ramirez Landscaping & Maintenance

It went very well. Jose and his crew showed up when he said he was and did an excellent job of taking the grass down and layer my yard with compost. He did an excellent job.

Great. Reliable and honest

The first two years, the work by Ramirez Landscaping was excellent. I was paying $140 a month, and the service was well worth it. Each time they came, my yard waste barrel was full--my shrubbery was kept trimmed and neat, dried leaves were all picked up, the yard was mowed, and the grass around roses in my front yard was trimmed by hand. But, as at least one other reviewer has noted, there was a big drop off this year. Not a shrub has been trimmed this summer (except by me), and, except for mowing the grass and blowing off the driveway, no maintenance at all has been done. After both a written and a verbal request, the ivy is still not trimmed--and that was the main reason I hired him in the first place. Three times this month I happened to be at home when the worker came, and he only stayed 15 minutes. He rushed through mowing the yard so fast that he missed spots. And then there is the damage: a small rose in the front yard was mowed over, a wire fence around my flowers was completely destroyed, so I put up a small wooden fence, and one section of that was broken by the lawn mower. Recently a small statue also was broken. I am extremely disappointed in what has happened, but I can no longer recommend this company.

Work was done early with great results, it made a huge difference on the house. We will work with this company again, owner was excellent to work with. Thank you!!

First couple years went good and then went downhill

They come weekly. I just got on there and noticed the reviews then I went direct to them. I’ve been very happy with them. They charge $210 a month. I find that their price is right in there with everyone else.

Jose and his family and crew first came and really did a good job in overhauling my property. Previous gardener did not prune much or at all and I have several big rhododendrons znd other foliage. I thought the initial quote of $2000 to do the overhaul was very steep but he promised me a lot and was very eager to start the work. I also continued with him at $415.00 month. For the first 6 months or so I was very pleased with their work. Professional, on time and it looked good. The difference in quality started about 6-8 months ago. Jose the owner stopped coming himself and only his crew which speaks minimal english and understands even less. The leaves in the autumn were a problem because they did not haul many of the quadtrillion leaves and dumped them on the perimeter of my property in the back where previous gardeners did and I told Jose I thought it looked bad and did not want his guys to do it. He agreed to haul off the leaves. This did not happen. At the end of summer 2014 I asked Jose to prune some of my many foliage because it was overgrown and looking so. He did most of the "pruning" with a chainsaw and he "butchered" some of my gorgeous rhodoendrons that had been beautiful during the spring when they bloom. I decided to wait and see what would happen this spring because I thought they may have enough new growth to still look good this summer. I will have few very few blooms this year and a few of my once large neautiful rhododendrons may not make it because he butchered them way too far back and I think cannot recuperate. I pay $415/month and literally sometimes all his men do is blow the debris and rake it up. Nothing more. Gone in less than a half hour. So his quality has dropped substanhtially and I am very sad how several of my rhododendrons have not responded back and make it. They were once very beautiful large expensive rhododendrons.

As stated above, Jose and his crew are excellent. I have several rose bushes; Jose keeps them trimmed properly. He really knows plants and what they need. I cannot say enough about Jose and his crew.

Jose and his work crew were hard working, careful while doing the job, and cleaned up afterwards.

Ramirez Landscaping did a wonderful job. I was very happy, plus they cleaned everything up when they were done. In fact, I have hired them to do weekly maintenance for us. I would highly recommend this company.

It all went very well. I will be hiring Jose for all my landscaping and general yard work.

My husband called Jose on Sunday evening to set up an appointment for an estimate. Jose said he would be come at 8:20 Monday morning. Jose was prompt, asked appropriate questions to be clear about the job and gave a fair estimate and said he could start the next morning. Jose again was on time and completed the job in 6 hours in 95 degree heat! He cleaned up the job site when he was done. We are more than satisfied with a job well done. It has never looked so good! We will use Jose again.

I called several landscapers yesterday requesting estimates. Jose called me back within a couple of hours and gave me an estimate the same day. Today he came and did the work. Hedge looks great! He hauled away all of the trimmings and left the area looking great. I would definitely call on Jose again.

He is punctual. He does what he says he will do. He does check in with me asking how i am happy with the service. He visits once a week.

Showed up when promised.Owner and crew worked hard. Long steep driveway to haul up bark. Cleaned up. Looks real good.. Plan to use for future projects.

Exactly as planned and programmed.

yyHe did the work on friday as agreed. The two man crew showed up about three oclock. They were very carefull with there vehicles and equipment. Everything was completed within two hours. He did exactley what was agreed,no more or less. Overall an excellent job.

We have a Laurel Hedge on the side and back of our house. While we trim it or have it trimmed twice each Spring and Fall the hedge keeps getting taller and was uneven in the back.. Jose was able to take a foot off the side and up to three feet in sections of the back. The back hedge is about 6' across and Jose was able to get it trimmed all the way across. Jose does not normally come to Portland since his business is in Keizer. If he did I would have him do all of my yard maintenance.

Jose and his crew showed up just after the appointment time but that was fine. We have a dog so it was good to know when they would be here so we could put the dog in his crate. The crew worked almost all day and then had to come back because there was so much to do. This was a huge job and they did it to perfection ! We are very happy with the results !

He showed up with his helper early the following Saturday and began his work. They were very quiet and efficient. It took them about 8 hours and the system works very well. Jose went over the settings and how the controllers worked and we set the watering times and days. I couldn't be happier. Jose was always polite and friendly. I can recommend him without reservation.

Jose and his team did a great job. Jose responded to my original phone call very quickly. His price was fair, although he bumped it up $50 at the end of the job because it was a much bigger job than he had originally thought and his costs for disposal were twice what he thought. I could understand. He called the day before he was scheduled to come and said they would be four hours late because they had to finish another job. But once he came, they did a great job and very quickly and efficiently. Jose is very professional and friendly. I was a little disappointed that he refused to take three dead bushes that we just debris because he was ready to leave and his guys had already "closed up" the truck. But overall I felt a job well done for a fair price and I would recommend him.

Ramiriz Landscaping was a delight to work with. Jose's bid was competitive, he came right out when I called, and the work performed has been exactly as we wanted. We have had his crew out 3 times, and the work is performed very quickly and efficiently, and the yard and driveway and patio look great!! We have our house on the market, and Jose understands that we want it to look good and he even does stuff we didn't specify to make it look better. We have contracted with him to come in weekly. They are very punctual - even early some times - and get the job done. I got bids from 3 different people, and his was the best, and we are very happy with the work performed. Thanks Jose!! :-)

Jose and his helper did exactly what I had requested; they worked quickly & efficiently. Jose gave advice on the tree he planted & pruned the branches that were not green. After the work he and his helper put the debris in my garbage container and cleaned up any mess they made. I will definitely call for their help in the future. I recommend their services to anyone.

I called Jose and he came out at the end of the same day and gave me an estimate. I thought his prices were very reasonable. He was here late Friday afternoon and we scheduled the work for Monday. He showed up and completed the work in a very timely manner. He did a great job with both the planting and the yard cleanup. I had called another person on Angie's List and that provider did not even bother to call me back after I spoke with him. He said he was too busy and probably could not get to it but would call back with an estimate. Jose was prompt, did what he said he would and did it very quickly. I will not look any further for someone when I need help in the yard. Jose will be my go to guy going forward. Thanks Jose for a job well done!

Went great! Jose and his team were prompt, responsive, and did a great job.
