VISTA GARDENS

unknown

Very friendly and helpful.

Vista did good work for us last year, but this year they have not worked out as well. They haven't been able to schedule a visit for about 4 weeks since I first contacted them, and they don't return my calls or messages. Very disappointing.

When I called to get an estimate, the representative told me they could not come out to do an estimate because they were too busy.

They did a great job. They were courteous, professional, and made the place look great. We got many compliments from realtors and their clients on the landscaping during the time the house was on the market.

We had a great experience. Rodrigo initially gave an estimate in late fall but suggested that we wait until early spring to do the work so that the turf would root faster. During the planing stage, Rodrigo came to our home twice with advice on planning the project and also came with us to the stone yard to give advice on the stone best suited to our job. We scheduled the work several weeks in advance and Rodrigo showed up on time with his crew. The stone installation took at least a day longer than planned but Rodrigo and his crew showed up on Saturday and Sunday to finish the job. They were great about cleaning up after each day and did a great job on all aspects of the project. Rodrigo also came by two weeks after the job to check on the work and to make sure we were satisfied. We would certainly use Vista Gardens again and highly recommend them.

I like everything about him. He does great work and is a wonderful person to work with. I've used him for over 15 years. He gets really busy in the summer.

They took out dead brush, trimmed trees and bushes. I thought he was very easy to work with and had lots of good ideas. I liked him a lot, he was great! He actually brought a crew of 4 people and made the work happen within four hours, which was very quick.

They removed 20 large rhododendrons and leveled and seeded the area. We came upon several unexpected problems (huge concrete blocks under the dirt), and Rodrigo helped take care of everything. He and his crew were fast, efficient, friendly, prompt, and any other positive adjective you can think of. I shouldn't even leave this. He'll probably get so popular that I wont be able to get him! I don't know what happened to the last guy, but Rodrigo has never taken more than an hour to call me back.

He was to call me when he had the opportunity to come by and then tell me his estimate and I have not yet heard from him.

Vista Gardens helped get our garden ready to sell. They were fast, clean, and very efficient. I would absolutely hire them for any outdoor yard work.

Rodrigo called me back the same day I left a message for him. He visited me the next day, gave me a reasonable estimate for the work and within 3 days had his crew at my house working. They did a very thorough job. I would definitely use him again.

He responded to my phone call right away, which was quite different from any landscaper I'd ever employed in the past. He scheduled me within the next week & arrived on time. He completed all the work within 1 week. It was a massive job. He had many suggestions to make my yard more attractive. He went far beyond what I had expected of him & I plan to retain him for maintenance of the yard. I had an estimate for similar work done the previous year & was quoted a price of $5000.

Rodrigo promptly returned calls and was extremely professional. Did a complete walk through of the job, delivered a very reasonable bid and scheduled the job for two weeks out. Called before the scheduled day to say they were running behind due to Labor Day weekend and was it okay if they started a day later than planned. We really appreciated the notice as many contractors would have just not shown or waited until the day of the job to change plans. Showed up on time on the revised day and had been working with his crew for over an hour before we realized it. They all worked hard over the two days it took to do everything that was on the list. Did an excellent job on everything we asked for. Worked without any prompting or reminding about tasks. Did a final walk through halfway through the last day to make sure everything we wanted done was being addressed. Price was exactly as expected. Would definitely recommend.

Very professional job, was on time, kept to pre-arranged budget, cleaned up afterwards, and worked very efficiently.

I called Mr. Ortiz to get an estimate on performing landscape. He said he would be at my home at 2pm. He called later and said it would be 3pm. He called a 3rd time to say my location was too far away. I told Mr. Ortiz my address during our first conversation and he did not indicate it would be a problem. I live in on the Eastside so I'm not exactly sure what ''too far away'' means. I ended up wasting an entire afternoon waiting on this company.

Rodrigo and his crew came in to attempt to make our property presentable as we are selling our home. We have a large property with a multi-tiered back yard, a pond, and a fairly large front yard, both areas containing many hedges, trees, and beds. Both yards were very neglected, weedy, and overgrown. It took 2 full days and Rodrigo worked wonders. After he was done we barely recognized the place. Everything looks neat and tidy, the beds are completely refreshed and the trees and hedges pruned and trimmed beautifully. We can actually see all the aspects of our multi-tiered gardens now! I would not hesitate to recommend Rodrigo for any of your yard/lawn and landscaping needs. His estimate was spot on, he showed up as promised and he was thoroughly professional and courteous, his team was hard working and capable. A fantastic job!

Rodrigo and his staff were very thorough with their work. When they showed up it was raining and they still went right to work. The yard was so clean when they left, it was amazing! Rodrigo dealt mainly with my husband in making decisions about the yard. I called a couple of times and never got a response, however, he did work with me when they were at the house. We were very pleased with the work they did.

Rodrigo and his crew did a great job! He was interested in out 'landscaping' ideas and helpful in suggesting the ways to get it done. We provided the soil. He also loaned us his roller to lay some sod.

I can trust he'll be here every other week to do the work.

Rodrigo was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end of this project. He communicates clearly, estimates accurately, shows up as promised. The crew did an excellent job - everything we talked about and even some stuff that I didn't expect -- like putting some brush I had cut into my recycle bin and sweeping the driveway. They left me a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy. It was worth every penny. I will definitely use Vista Gardens again.

I started using Rodrigo in early Feb. '06. He's been out four times. I am thrilled with him and his service! When they come to do the lawn everything is so beautiful and tidy when they leave. During the epic weeding they trimmed plants missed or that grew after being trimmed last fall. They were very careful with existing plants. Rodrigo had to reschedule due to inclement weather, but called ahead to let me know and then set up a new time. Rodrigo is easy to communicate with and is a pleasure to work with via phone/email/long instructive notes and in-person. He will make suggestions if you ask and if you don't ask, he'll point out things that you will find helpful to know. On the scheduled service, he spaces it out since things are still cold and not growing fast. Very flexible. One of the nicest contractors I have worked with.

Mr. Ortiz always phoned to discuss plans the day prior to his arrival. Problems encountered were always discussed with us before making changes. He and his crew were efficient and always cleaned up the area before leaving. We are very pleased with the landscaping design and the price to complete the work.
