Manzano Landscaping

On time, professional and works looks great

Alex contacted me promptly and gave me a fair-priced estimate, lower than most. He was professional and did exactly as he stated. I highly recommend him and would have him back in a heartbeat -- he's that good. We have a huge mulch bed - easily 125 bags of Boy Scout mulch, he edged precisely, used dark mulch as I requested, and delivered on time as promised. He's the third company we have hired in as many years -- we'll stick with Alex.

I paid Alex Manzano $2400 to clear a fence line, remove fallen trees, and install a drainage system. He said I could pay once I was happy with all of the completed work. I had to call him back several times, and there is still a huge fallen tree in my yard. I ended up clearing the brush at the fence line myself and removing the debri Alex was paid to remove. I still owe Alex an additional $360, but refuse to pay as he refuses to finish removing the fallen tree. Now he's threatening to put a lien on my house and tear up my drainage system. I'm filing a police report due to the threats. Needless to say I would not recommend Manzano Landscaping.

Alex contacted me promptly and gave me a fair priced estimate. The company that normally mows my grass wanted $200 more than he charged. His team showed up and and had everything done in a few hours. There is no way I could have handled all of the leafs like they did.

Fabulous! I called Manzano's Landscaping Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, right on time, they showed up and did a really great, neat job trimming the shrubbery. They also are very reasonably priced. I am going to use them in the future for more lawn care items. The people that did the work were very polite and helpful, giving some suggestions on when it is a good time to do certain cuttings.

Wish I could review the company. I submitted the web form and did heard back from them, someone was going to "swing by" at some point during the week. Not an option. I have large dogs and do not want someone I don't know creeping around my yard with out someone here. Told them to call first. No one showed then I did receive an email and they scheduled an appointment for Sunday at noon. No one showed then either. They will not be doing business here.

Among the few businesses that I called to do general clean-up and some landscaping, this company and Alex were the most prompt and easiest to deal with. Alex is quick, always follows-up and provided a very competitive/decent quote for the work. And he was able to get his crew out to the house in less than a week. He provided ideas for the landscaping, and was wonderful to deal with -- very professional and courteous. Compared to other companies who took a week to return my call or give me additional info, Alex has a great professional demeanor and great customer service. I would definitely use this company again.

Kept in contact with me and cleaned up the mess my tenants left! Thank you!!!!

I contacted the company to receive an estimate on some yard work a week ago now. I received a response that they would come out and conduct an estimate on Thursday and I followed up over the weekend to ask for it. I haven't received a response. Update - After I posted this review, I received an estimate so clearly they do notice what is said here, just not direct emails. The quote was high but comparable to some other companies, just not the one we went with since they were reasonable and more responsive.

They did a great job! There's not a weed in sight, the mulch was spread perfectly evenly (it looks like carpet!) & I am HAPPY!!! Definitely a repeat customer!

So far nothing has gone right with his company. For the spring clean-up they missed some areas that should have been mulched and had to return to correct. For the walk they did not install as requested and then tried to blame me for choosing the wrong materials even though I instructed them to use something different. As for the mowing here we are in May and the yard has been mowed once 2 weeks ago even though I requested it to be cut weekly. They promised me yesterday they would be here today to mow but did not show up or call or email to explain why they couldn't make it. Would not recommend them to anyone.

Hooray for Alex Manzano and Manzano Landscaping! I needed yard work done on short notice and Alex was gracious enough to accept the job with no hesitation. He was out to the house within days of my initial contact with him. First point in his favor -- Alex is the king of communication. Reviews overflow with complaints about lack of communication on the part of the companies. Not so with Alex! He responded to my request for an estimate in less than a day and as noted, was on the job in just a few days. I was arranging on my daughter's behalf for the work to be done while she was out of town and Alex was terrific about responding to my flurry of e-mails -- on the same day I sent them! Alex charged what I think is an exceptionally reasonable price for grass mowing and trimming, weeding, hedge trimming, mulching and general clean up of a sadly neglected yard. In record time. We are looking forward to Alex and his crew providing landscaping services throughout the Summer and beyond as this service will now be our birthday gift to our son-in-law who said it is the BEST present ever! And we have to agree! Alex is a credit to Angie's list!

We have a huge property, and for the amount of work they're doing, the price is good. They work super hard and they do a perfect job. The owner is very, very responsive.

The estimate was very reasonable and they performed high quality work. I would definitely use them again. I have already passed along their information to a friend in need of their services. Overall, very impressed with the price/quality.

Called them, Alex said I need to contact the office, he could be there within an hour. I went to their website, sent a note to them to have Alex, since he was in the area to be authorized to give me an estimate for a job. I called him back after an hour, he said they never got the email. I asked since I was without my glasses or internet access, if they could call me and I would give all information needed. All I heard was crickets. No reply......... no response.

Alex offered a competitive price, but his service and lack of work ethic are unacceptable. On many occasions at all stages of our project (initial visit for quote, actual work, follow-up work) he did not show up on the agreed date, usually without any notice. Once or twice it was legitimately due to weather, but other times no explanation was given. On the day he and his crew finally did begin to work, they were interrupted by rain in the early afternoon. Alex tried to convince us that all the work had been completed so that he would not need to return to finish the job. Luckily, we had emailed him a detailed description of the scope of work we expected him to complete before we accepted his offer. It turned out that only about 50% of the agreed work had been completed. When we pointed this out, Alex did agree to return to finish the work (which he did several weeks later, after once again missing a few appointments). At this point we paid him, but soon thereafter we noticed that two trees that we specifically asked to be removed and uprooted had been simply cut off and covered with topsoil. Moreover, a long pole from the chain-link fence we asked him to be removed and hauled away had been left in the gutter in front of our house. We once again asked him to return to complete the work, and he agreed to do so. To date, he has not yet returned to finish the job and we are very unsatisfied with the quality of Alex's work. [ We will update this review if and when the work is completed.] We absolutely cannot recommend Alex and encourage you pay the extra money for a real professional.

Alex stopped by to see me for a walk through of the property and the outline of the project. He later returned with his tree professional to discuss the safe removal of the trees. Alex and his crew arrived on time and immediately got to work about making the property look good for the upcoming sale. The tree professional arrived in the afternoon and efficiently removed two trees. The crew then cleaned up all the debris.

They are very reasonably priced. They do a great job. They are very thorough as long as you are clear on what you want. They come when it's needed. They moved a lot of wood to the back exactly where I wanted it.

Alex and his team were very professional, timely, and did a great job! Alex was very quick to answer my (many) questions over email prior to coming over to do the work. I wanted to be home when the work was done, so we arranged for a day that I could be there. He was very easy to work with. Clean-up was done very nicely and the yard looks great!

The service is excellent. He is the best I have ever had. He is really a great guy. He is normally very prompt. He can make the yard look beautiful. He is good at everything he does. I have been using him for two years.

I first reached out to Manzano Landscaping on 12/2 to schedule a one-time lawn mowing, I quickly received a response back stating that someone would be out the next day and provide an estimate. Two days later I hadn't heard anything, so sent an email asking about the estimate. I got a response four days later with and estimate and a scheduled service date of "as soon as possible". Three weeks later I get another email asking if I still need my lawn mowed. By this time I had already purchased a lawn mower and taken care of the yard myself. I would not recommend this company as their communication is poor and professionalism is even worse.

They responded quickly with a quote, came on the day they said, did quality work, and charged the price they quoted. I highly recommend them for this type of work.

He was a no-show and never completed work...

Alex was very communicative before the project start date, but never showed up for the job. When I contacted him repeatedly that day, he said he couldnt get sod due to inclement weather. When I followed up to reschedule, he was unresponsive. We ended up using another contractor.

Did not start the work the day we were told. A few days later they showed up after we called. Work took longer than expected but completed as agreed upon. Workers broke part of our fence and did not repair it or tell us they broke it. Requested quote for additional work but it never materialized into anything. Kept emailing and calling and no response. When a response was received at night via email, they never showed up when they said they would come to give the estimate. No call or anything each time "appointment" was missed. Did not seem interested in providing a quote. Very disappointed in the customer service because the initial estimate was a good price (April time frame) and the work was good. Don't plan to use them again and agree with the other reviews complaining about the lack of calling back/contacting etc.
