They could be less expensive. They could do a better job weeding. They could let me know when they are coming when its been raining. My lawn hasn't been cut in 2 weeks or something. I don't know when they are coming, so maybe better communication.
Description of Work: They do my regular mowing and flower bed upkeepo and stuff like that. Overall landscaping stuff.

ePedro Campos and his company, Marpelli Landscaping was recommended to me by a friend who he had done some work for. She was not completely satisfied but she thought he maybe able to do a good job for me. I was hesitant because what I wanted done was a bathroom remodel. I requested some references from people who he had done similar work for and spoke to them by telephone. All of the references were all favorable so I proceeded. After all, our kids attended the same Christian high school. A contract was signed and I expected a good job to be done. What I did not expect is an untrained crew, rushed and incomplete work and pressure to be paid before the work was completed. To be specific, his crew removed my toilet so they could do some tile work, they did not replace the wax ring which resulted in a slow leak, mold accumulation and finally a hole in my ceiling right above my kitchen sink. Yuck! In addition, In their haste to get paid on the final day they did not caulk around the plumbing in the bathroom sink faucet, so whenever the sink was used water leaked down the plumbing and into the vanity. The vanity was in a family bathroom that I as the owner did not use often. I was recently diagnosed with the sensitivity to mold and later found that the culprit was a significant amount of black mold growing in the vanity with the leak. A plumber recommended that the vanity and the corresponding plumbing be changed. The cost of the new vanity was $550. The cost of new plumbing was $150. The cost of having the vanity removed and the plumbing installed was $450. I was urged by the plumber to call Mr. Campos since it was an error on his part when he initially installed the vanity and the plumbing, so I called. Pedro assured me that he would come the day after Christmas. He did not, so I called again and left a message. He did not return my message, so I called again and spoke with him directly. Again he assured me that he would come. He still has not and out of medical necessity I can wait no further. This was not the first leak I had as a result of his shoddy work. A few days after he completed the job, I had to call Mr. Campos because the shower was leaking in the same bathroom. At that time, he could have inspected all of the work he had done to ensure no further leaks. He did not. What he did do was to minimize his culpability as much as possible. I find that careless and irresponsible. The moral of the story is: one to use a company that does bathroom remodels on a regular basis. Two, even if you have recommendations and references from prior clients, you still must act as if you are a trained contractor and inspect all of the work thoroughly. And finally you must never use Marpelli Landscaping for a bathroom remodel nor for landscaping because the company's owner is not thorough and does not not keep his word.
Description of Work: Pedro Campos and his crew did a bathroom remodel which included painting, tiling of floor and ceiling, installation of new tub and sink and cabinetry. In order to do the tiling, they removed the toilet.

He seemed like a professional on the phone. His website looked great. But in the end, he never came to cut the grass.
Description of Work: Owner was a No Show for our initial appointment. He did not call with any explanation either. I called him back and do you know he had the nerves to be several hours late for the second appointment. But I still gave him another chance. He showed up, gave me quote. Unfortunately, his employees are just like him. They did not show up to cut the grass the following day!

They did exactly what they said they would do. They were timely and quick. It looked really good when they were done. I don't know if I overpaid or underpaid; I've never had yard work done before. They showed up when they said they would and they got the job done. I've been there 1 1/2 years and one of the neighbors that I've never talked to shouted out and said it looked good.
Description of Work: I used Mapeli Landscaping to clear out all the debris in the backyard. They also mowed and weeded in the front and back yards. The overgrowth was quite extensive and there was a lot of it.

Overall fairly decent work, but I would recommend verification of products actully utilized. For further specifics regarding the completed work, pls see above narrative. Would also recommend that - someone in the crew be able to effectively communicate with the customer.
Description of Work: Landscaping company was hired to install garden retainer wall,seed,fertilize and treat lawn for weeds, plant bushes, etc. Owner of company speaks decent english but crews' english was limited.Language barrier if homeowner aspires to communicate w/ crew regarding questions.Beautifully completed job with retainer wall. However, disappointed to discover high quality landscaping products were not utilized as led to believe.

Company owner came out and provided estimate. Was very easy to work with and interested in meeting our needs and providing a fair price. Began work on time (actually a day or two late because of rain). Tidied up work area at end of each day. Finished two days early. This is the second time we've used this company and we are really pleased. Good work for a fair price. Only complaint is it took a couple missed appointments for owner to come for estimate. But he made up for it in the end.
Description of Work: Built patio on side of home and in back yard. Landscaping around new patio. Cleaned up front yard.
