Description of Work: They were prompt and professional. The owner was easy to work with and got me in on short notice, which was great. They did great work and cleaned up very well after themselves. I would use them again.

Description of Work: Ernie arrived Friday and he agreed to return Saturday 3/29/14 to rake and mow my front and back yard. He never showed for the appointment. So we called another service and they arrived and took care of the job.I called Ernie's office on 4/4/14 and was told that the guy scheduled to do the work was sick and they forgot to call and advise. Poor customer service

It didn't go.
Description of Work: Ernie came to my house and I explained to him what I wanted done. He seemed disappointed when I explained I only a lawn treatment on a quarterly basis and an initial clean up. He tried to push me onto a monthly contract to get my lawn mowed. I told him I did not want this and Ernie agreed to the initial clean up and the quarterly service. Ernie said he would call me later that day with the estimate, but he failed to do so. I called him back a couple of days later and he said he was busy and he would call me later that day. Nope. I called him a third time and once again he said he would call me again with the estimate. Nada. This company is completely unprofessional. If you don't want to do the service just say it up front and quit wasting my time. If you are too busy to accept new contracts then explain this.

Response from Handygreen Landscaping
My sincere apologies for this miscommunication. I am out in the field most days overseeing several crews so it is hard for me to keep track and be able to give a quote over the phone. We did ask you to send an email so that I could reply with your proposal once I was back in the office. I did not receive an email from you therefore was unable to send you a quote.

Ernie and his team were great and met all my expectations. All other rave reviews on the Angies list site were very accurate. I called several other landscaping companies and no one compared to the professionalism and fine work that Ernie and his team provided. Several of those other landscaping companies never called me back or if they did they wanted me to text them my info and then got back to me a few days later. Ernie was different. I called him and he personally answered the phone. He was polite and honest and told me that he "might not service my area" but he would call me back in a few minutes to see if he did or didn't. He called me back immediately and said that he could help me out. He could set something up on the phone now or since I had lots of questions and wanted some particular things done with my yard that he could stop by the next day. So he did come by the next day and answered all my questions and agreed to do all the things (e.g. trim bushes to a particular height) I wanted him to do. He even said that his company keeps in contact with their customers through text and phone calls. He set up a time for the next week to cut my yard. I've dealt with lots of landscaping companies and none of them are as personable and keep contact with their customers like Ernie has just over the last few weeks since we agreed for monthly service. He texted me the day before and had his assistant call to get the information. He even takes credit card payments which makes it easy for me so that I don't have to be home when he does the work. I hope to use them for years to come. The neighbors have already complimented us on our yard and it was just the first time. It looks great. I wholeheartedly recommend this company. Great job Ernie and keep up the great work.
Description of Work: Provided an estimate and walk through of my lawn as well as scheduled to do a regular bi-monthly lawn service at my home.

I had tried to contact other services before I found Ernie Ochoa and Handygreen. The others didn't even call me back. Ernie returns calls. He was very punctual for our first meeting. His office send reminders the crew is coming on Mondays. He is very professional and organized. The first time the crew came there was quite a bit to do extra, but Ernie charged us the same as a regular visit. They do a great job. Ernie and Handygreen is definately the one to use, epsecially if you live in the Helotes / Grey Forest area!
Description of Work: The crew comes every other week to mow, trim, rake leaves. They are very courteous and do a thorough, excellent job. The first time there was quite a bit to do and it was the same charge as it is for the regular visits. If you live in the Helotes area this is definately your best option. Ernie does other areas in the North San Antonio area too.

I called and was responded to within the same day. They came out and gave me an estimate the next day. They were very professional and detailed. The pricing was very reasonable. We scheduled a date to complete the tasks and they showed up on time and had the job completed in the time stated. They were great to work with and I will probably have them do all my lawn and landsvaping work.
Description of Work: I had trees trimmed and beds cleared and trimmed.

I have a fairly large yard with a lot of expensive landscaping. My work takes me away from home on extended business trips, so I absolutely must have a landscape maintenance company that I can trust to do a good job on a regular basis with minimal or no supervision. I have tried several companies but none of them seemed to be able to work without direct supervision. When I would return from a business trip my yard would be unkempt with weeds growing up around the shrubs and the grass not properly trimmed (of course, they didn't fail to charge me, even though they hadn't done the work properly). Then, I found HandyGreen on Angie's List. Ernie Ochoa came to our home and provided a detailed, professional assessment of our property. He knew the names of all our landscaping plants, trees, etc., and exactly what kind of care they need. After touring our property, Ernie made specific recommendations for service and provided us with a detailed proposal. I returned home a few days ago from an eight week business trip and found that HandyGreen had done exactly as proposed with zero supervision from me. My yard was beautifully mowed and trimmed and the landscaping was properly trimmed, weeded, and watered (he had to actually come out and hand water on some occasions) and there were no weeds growing around our sidewalk. I am very happy with HandyGreen. They do a great job and I can depend on them to do the job on time and do it correctly (even when I'm not looking). Ernie even offered to take pictures on a regular basis and send them to me in an e-mail; a service he provides to his customers upon request. I highly recommend Ernie Ochoa and HandyGreen. They do dependable, professional grade work at a reasonable price; the best landscape maintenance value for the dollar I've found. If you have a nice yard with valuable landscaping that needs dependable service, try him. I believe you will be happy with the result.
Description of Work: Mowing, weeding, shrub and tree trimming, hand watering, fertilizing, and whatever else it takes to keep our yard and landscaping in the condition that we want and paid a lot of money to create. HandyGreen "owns" our yard and landscaping and they look after it like they live in our house. All we do is enjoy the compliments we get.

He arrived on time with his crew and they begun digging trenches. Next limestone was concreted together to form borders for the beds.Natural much was placed in the back bed and rock and rubber much placed in an island. Three beds were worked with and all done well. The project went well.
Description of Work: I hired handygreen for lawn maintenance and they promised to do several other things- such as remove dead plants, adjust the sprinkler system, check out the system and let me know what needed new heads. They never did anything extra. Instead they planted rye grass into my Bermuda (without asking me) so that they would have something to mow during the winter months. I have hired someone else to do my lawn maintenance.

Ernie (& the crew with Handygreen) were professional in every way. They were punctual, polite, knowledgeable and took great pride in their work. They did the usual yard work (mowing, edging, blowing) but would also trim the bushes when needed, raked out the leaves from the flower beds, and just took an overall survey of the yard to figure out what needed to be done in order to get it looking perfect. I was extremely please with the work of Handygreen and with the cost as well. I have continued to use their services and they continued to do an excellent job every time!
Description of Work: I was looking for someone that would service my lawn on a regular basis as well as my sprinkler system on an as-needed basis at a reasonable rate. In addition, I needed guidance and recommendations for my lawn and landscaping from someone that knew what they were doing and not just another company to mow the grass and leave in 15 minutes.

My yard was deep in live oak leaves from this year's molt (front yard) & two years' molt (back yard). Ernie gave me a quick call back & arranged a day & price for raking, bagging, & removing the bags of leaves. It was worth every penny for his crew to bag & cart away 65 bags of leaves! As a bonus, he mowed & edged the yard, turned the much in the beds, & gave me some pointers on better flower bed maintenance. He & his crew were friendly & fantastically efficient!

I had some foundation work done on the house last summer, and there was settling of the dirt put back into each hole (14 of them) going around the house. In addition, I had let the yard go a bit with regards to dead twigs and leaves - natural was one thing, but I got a little carried away. Ernie came and walked the entire site with me, listened carefully to what I ask be done, and then quoted the entire job. Over the course of two days they cleaned everything up and then replaced and leveled mulch and rock everywhere. They also planted a few small shrubs and moved a large shrub that had become unbalanced in the scheme of things. Ernie was there himself for the entire time and checked again and again to make sure everything was to my liking. If you want very personal service and the owner there making sure everything is perfect you can't go wrong here. His work against some of the biggest in town I've had do work like this there is not comparison. You owe it to yourself to give them a chance to quote your job. I can assure you you will not be disappointed if my experience is any indication.
Description of Work: Complete clean up of zeriscaped lot after foundation repair, removed two years of leaves and debris, removal of large-ish tree, refreshed mulch everywhere, added and leveled out additional river rock around the entire house.
