Blades of Glory Landscaping & Lawncare

DOES THIS LANDSCAPER WANT TO DO BUSINESS? Called Johnny Garcia at Blades of Glory Landscaping (Telephone: 210-818-8744) to set up an appointment. Left message. NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK.

Everything went well. Johnny was a pleasure to work with. His crew did a great job.

They did an excellent job. I would highly recommend them for any of your landscaping needs.

The two-man crew (Jesuar and Eric) went to work immediately, exposing the roots of five live oak trees. Moved the mulch and soil and added river rock around each tree. They then removed more mulch to create two "streams" of river rock. The mulch was transported and added to other areas of the front gardens. 1.5 cu yards of river rock was used. The crew did a great job, they were on time and very professional. This is my third time using Blades of Glory and I can't be pleased enough with their work.

Great work under tough weather conditions.

I had a lot of work done. They removed the old lawn (dead) and brought in lots of soil to level out the yard (I had lots of erosion). They coordinated having a sprinkler system installed. They put in sod and lots of new plants and a few trees. They trimmed by big old oak trees. The work was fabulous. They did an amazing job! I can not say enough good things about this business.

Owner of company, Johnny Garcia, responded promptly to request for walk-through and discussion of results desired. He provided multiple options as solutions, prepared written proposals, and began work as soon as I accepted. He and his staff kept me apprised of progress and sought my feedback as work continued. Workers did their work efficiently and results are great! When we discovered some irrigation damage after the final walk-through, Johnny responded quickly with his vendor to repair the damage to my satisfaction and at his expense.

First let me say I am not reviewing quality of work completed. I am reviewing professionalism. I spoke with the owner of this business at my home about a project that involved resloping a back yard, removing a number of bushes, and redoing a walkway through the back yard. He was very pleasant, listened to my requests, took measurements, and said he would send a quote. I never heard back. I don't mind if someone decides they don't want to do a project. I do believe it is highly unprofessional to not say so. Thankfully I have been able to find a number of other landscape companies willing to both speak with me, and offer a quote.

They did an excellent job in a surprisingly short time.

I now know where the saying "Johnny on the Spot" is from! Johnny was quick to return my initial phone call and worked around my schedule to come discuss the project in a matter of days. Once I decided to pull the trigger on the project, he squeezed me into his already busy schedule for the following week. I was amazed that they were able to turn around and perform the work so quickly. A team of about 4 or so guys worked 2 days straight to finish my project. They were all very nice and professional and knew what they were doing. The end result was just how I had imagined, plus some. Thanks to Johnny and his team for such great work. This is my second house I've used him on and will use him again I'm sure.

I have written & sent positive reports on this company. Please check previous reports & don't email about this one again.

They carefully removed all the mulch laid in my backyard, then turned on my irrigation drip lines to find a leak. I knew there was one, but they found 7! They then romoved all the weed deterrent fabric, being very careful not to harm any of the plants, and also removed the dead plants. They repaired all the leaks, laid down new fabric (correctly anchoring it in place, which the first landscaper did not do). They laid new mulch, 3" deep ( the other landscaper laid 1" or less). Mr Garcia replaced the dead and/or dying plants, keeping in mind the areas of my yard that receives little or no sun. One section of my border had what we assumed were really small rocks, but when they went to remove them they found that they had been placed flat. They dug up and fixed many of the rocks so now they contain the mulch which was the whole reason to begin with. I am Very pleased with the work they did for me. I can now sit outside and enjoy the view. I will hire them again, when I have another project. For all they did, the price was very reasonable.

Not only did they do a great job when I hired them to lay down sod 9 months ago, but when the sod never took and died off (half of it), I let Jonny know about it. Without any hesitation, he offered to fix it at no cost to me. Now that is customer service! I decided to just have them rip up the dead sod and replace it with kiddie mulch (it is a small backyard space that kids play in), so I paid for the cost of the mulch itself - the labor was free, as it was a repair job. Now it looks great, and I am one happy customer. I will totally hire them again! Who cares if someone gives you a great price - good customer service is worth it's weight in gold.

They were prompt, courteous, and did a good job.

They were replacing the grass, and they made me pay for it. I'm not sure. I do not think that I should of had to pay for it. It should of had some sort of an warranty on it. They were again punctual. They did the job efficiently. He was courteous. He did give me some discount on the price of the grass. Its a matter of whether its his fault, or the weather's fault. Was it bad grass. Its unknown, so I can't fault him. He was not willing to take responsibility for it. I'm conflicted in what I think. I think he is an nice guy. I think he is an honest guy. What he did was perfect the first time.

I like their responsiveness and engagement of their owner. He was the one that was out to do the initial evaluation and give me a cost estimate. He was out pretty much everyday to check on his workers. They gave me good suggestions on things to with my landscaping. I'm very, very satisfied with them.

Wonderful. I am very happy with the entire experience, from the office support to the installation. The owner, Johnny Garcia was great with the bid. He worked with us to satisfy our budget without a problem. His crew was terrific. They were detail oriented and fast. I would highly recommend this company. You will not be disappointed.

Very well. Very professional, easy to work with, knowledgeable.

Overpriced for amount of work actually done.

Fair. Upro t worl went ok. Several plants died right off. When asked for a redo of one area. Did not return contact.

Very, very well! The crew was on time, completed all the work in a day and a half and hauled away all of the brush and trimmings.

Great job. Appreciate the hard and professionalism of workers. 4 on property at a time and saved me 6 weeks of work.

Pricing was the big issue. I got one of those cute offers. I priced some of their plants at a nursery and they were a lot more expensive than the nursery. I did the offer and then I did more. I felt like he was making up for the offer. Be sure that you know what you want to spend, due diligence on what it should cost and then, just be aware of that.

Johnny Garcia was a pleasure to work with, from our first meeting to our final walk through. He was pleasant, receptive, professional and eager to please. His work crews were on time, and courteous and kept a clean work site. Johnny had a vision for our yard that solved drainage issues and gave the back and side yards an updated look with river rocks and flagstones that should require less maintenance and less water and increase our property value. The plant choices were smart. Can't wait to see it all come to life in the spring.

Very professional as always. Yard looks so much better and I love the new walkway.
