I am so pleased with the work Rafael and his exceptional crew did on my rather difficult deck repair. They took care of my every request and took care of every detail. Excellent job!

I was most impressed with the speed in which Eduardo and his son, Eric, installed a fence to stop my family's visiting dogs from roaming! The fence is very functional and pleasing to the eye. I will be calling on Rafael and his crew for other jobs around the house in the future. Thanks guys.

AMAZING! Rafael and crew were professional, honest and quick at installing our new cedar fence. They even fixed our gate making it lighter and easier to open adding value to our home and also more secure for our safety. I totally recommend this company, we plan to have them back for the rest of the fencing and build a garden shed.

Recommendation for Rafael Torres of RT TOTAL LAWN CARE I recently had two very positive experiences with Rafael Torres and RT Total Lawn Care. I found him on a website that lists people who are available for different jobs around the house. I called the number on the website and Rafael answered. I told him the job was to install over a 100-foot run of cedar fence, and to build a matching fence across a side yard with a gate in it. He came to my house the afternoon I called and gave me a quote. He said he could do the job the next day. He and a small crew arrived first thing the next morning. The crew was very efficient and were finished about 4:00. Their worksmanship is outstanding. In summary, Rafael responded immediately to my initial contact; he gave me a quote that was reasonable; and he did not try to increase the cost later. In short, it was a very positive experience. The job was initiated and completed as promised; the quality of the work is first-rate; and the cost was reasonable and did not change from the quote. I had a very similar experience with a yard clean-up job.= excellent work. I found Mr. Torres and his crew to be very hard-working and friendly. I would recommend them without any reservation.

Excellent! I'm personally impressed that they could do the scope of work in 2 days and it looks fabulous!! Sara is fantastic and Rafael is a true craftsman - I wouldn't be surprised if they end up doing the whole neighborhood! I had wood fence damage at one my rentals from an earlier wind storm. Frankly, it should have been replaced years ago, but now was the time! Sara called me back in seconds, I met them onsite got the quote and said go! I did get other quotes which were higher in most cases but RT Lawn could start the next day. In short order (next day) they tore out 110' feet of rotten fence 4X4's, concrete set the new 4X4's and disposed of the material. The next day the fence was done! I added additional work to the scope like a new gate midstream - this didn't hold them up at all on the completion. Even my long time renter who is a very picky person texted me that he was very pleased - so that counts as two excellent reviews! Don't hesitate to call this company!!!!!!!!

Raphael and Sara called back within minutes of my request. They were at my house within an hour to bid the new cedar fence and started the next day! They finished the job the following day even though it was Christmas Eve. The fence is absolutely beautiful and they used highest quality materials. These guys are great!

We were very pleased with RT Total Lawn Care. Their bidding was very thorough and follow-up as well. They removed our existing railing, installed stairs and a deck with perfection and great timing. They also stained it and gave us stain color choices. We appreciate their accessibility for questions. A job well done.

Jose of RT lawn service is a real pro at designing and installing sprinkler systems. He came to our property, asked great questions about what we were expecting for our system and got right to designing it. He kept us informed at every stage of the process and was very open to changes we needed. The true test of the system is now the grass and garden look. THEY LOOK GREAT. Thanks RT Total Lawn for a great experience.

HomeAdvisor is doing their customers a disservice by listing RT Total Lawn Care for deck build and replace. They misordered what we had agreed upon to use and had to reorder and return. When installing the Decorator tounged decking they didn't use the metal hidden fasteners that we had agreed for them to use but used a product called "fast and dry" which is a product used for high rise decks so the water won't drain below. Our deck is 3 feet off the ground. When I got home and saw what they were using I asked them why and where was the water going to go? I was told that the deck was sloped and the water would just run off, also the product they were using was more expensive and better than the metal fasteners. When we got the first rain we had 2 to 3 areas where the water puddled up (one area several feet wide and 1/2 to 3/4 inches deep) and didn't have anywhere to go. Rafael's solution was to drill holes in the "fast n dry" rubber molding so the water could drain which was just a temporary solution working for a day or 2. The quality of their work and the extending of the job for many weeks was very unprofessional. I had contracted Rafael to do other jobs also which weren't done to our satisfaction. Rafael over promised and under performed. I overpaid for ivy removed from a tree and dead wood removed from a 2nd tree. All the dead wood was to be removed but only a quarter of it was done. He won't return any of my calls. I had originally contracted him to stain a fence for me and I was so disappointed in his work I told him that I didn't want him to do it. He told me that if I got the stain, he would do it for me free of charge. I got the stain and he wouldn't return my calls or e-mails. Finally after several weeks passed my wife and I did it ourselves and we are both seniors. I feel that we were taken advantage of and Rafael and Sara used communication problems as a reason for their misunderstanding. They showed us samples of the product we had agreed upon and still could not get it right. OVER PROMISED AND UNDER DELIVERED!

super friendly amd very fast service. had my old fence torn down and the new one up in under 24 hours. The price was a little higher than other bids i had, but Rafael's great customer service and his teams ability to get the job done quickly with quality workmanship made it well worth it.

Rafael and his crew came in and did an absolutely wonderful job of our backyard. They put in a beautiful cedar deck and hardscaped the rest of the yard. They were out within days of first contacting them and the project was complete in just a few days. Very conscientious, precise work. We are very pleased with the results!

I have a long established yard. They came in, had to dig up some plants that they put back in place and in one day with many workers, I have a nice sprinkler system in place for my entire fairly big yard. They are hard working and very pleasant.

I hired Rafael to build a deck and he did now allow spacing between the boards and so the water was standing, so Rafael came out and redid the deck and was suppose to come and reseal the deck and he keeps telling me that he will be out and even gives me a schedule and did not show so I called him again and he says he will come out and did not show up again
