So back during the summer, I had some technical problems with my sprinkler (NO! It wasn't user…read moreerror damnit! well...at least not THIS time) and without water, my lawn died on me in the sweltering 100+ degree weather. So now, being stuck with a broken sprinkler system and a dead lawn, I call up a few contractors to get some estimates to determine just how much I will need to spend to get my sprinklers back up and working and my lawn good as new. Out of all the contractors I called, Cesar Rivas at Rivas Landscaping definitely gave me the best offer. He determined that I had a faulty sprinkler valve that needed replacing, and also stated he would replace the plastic sprinkler head with a metal copper one for a better seal. And if I decided to replace my lawn with him too, he would also trim my bushes (which were getting wayyyyyy too overgrown) for me as well. Fantastic! Cesar stated he would be able to get started on the lawn the very next day so I went ahead and setup an appointment with him and low and behold...he and his crew arrived the next day and started work. After all was said and done, everything looked great except........ he didn't have a receipt for me, my bushes were not trimmed at all as he had promised and my sprinklers wouldn't turn off! He stated that not to worry. He wasn't able to give me a receipt at that time because he (conveniently) forgot his receipt book, and that he couldn't trim the bushes as he offered originally because he forgot to bring the trimmer with him. Then he stated that he needed to head off to Sacramento to take care of another job today but would spring back around to my house later that evening to take a look at it and in the meantime I should just turn the water off. And that he would also e-mail me over a copy of the receipt when he got home. I informed Cesar that I was going to be out of town for a couple of weeks but I would leave the sprinkler system on and the water valve (located outside my house) turned off so he could still test the system without me being at home. I called him the next day and he assured me he stopped by my house and that everything was ok. Well low and behold I return home a week and a half later, the sprinklers were exactly as I left them. Eternally on and not shutting off. I called up Cesar who said he would swing by the house in a couple of days to check it out. I had to go out of town again for about a week and called Cesar once again about 4 days later and he assured me once again that he did indeed come by the house, check it out, and the system was fine. When I returned that Sunday, I was gravely disappointed when I found out my sprinkler system was still on and that my bushes were still not trimmed! So now its been almost 3 weeks since he initially promised he that he would take care of the things he stated he would do and nothing had been done yet, and I was absolutely furious! I called him up (yes on a Sunday) and stated he that I was back home and he needed to come down TODAY to fix my damn sprinklers (I didn't want to have my new lawn that I just put in die on me again because this guy can't come through with his promises). He finally reluctantly agreed and swung down a couple of hours later. Took a look at the system and in 5mins determined that one of the valves was just stuck in the On position and turned it back to Automatic. 5 FREAKING MINUTES! That proves to me he never even bothered coming down in the first place! So far he's broken 3 of his promises and lied to me at least twice. Fine! Now so my sprinkler system is working....now about my bushes that he promised me he would trim that are now blocking my walkway and that receipt he never e-mailed me..... He once again stated he would take care of the bushes on Monday and that he would e-mail the receipts to me. And also stated if I needed regular maintenance that he performed that service as well for $50/month. Despite everything I told him I would give him the benefit of the doubt and consider his future services but in the meantime I really needed to have my bushes trimmed like he promised because I was showing my house to a potential renter that weekend. He assured me once again that it would be done by Monday. Well guess what.....Monday rolls around and nothing. I try calling him again on Tuesday and only get his voicemail this time and no call back (what a surprise!). I wind up being rather embarrassed, having to show my house to potential renters with the bushes growing all over my walkway and them having to step through my lawn just to get to my front door! And as of yet I have still yet to receive a receipt showing his promised warranty on his service and parts. I'll give this guy +1 star for being friendly and being very competitively priced. But that's about as good as it gets......

Anthony was quick to make a very fair estimate, for real redwood rather than treated pine, and was able to do the job quickly.

I am grateful for Steve and trust his numbers. He has always been more than reasonable!" I think that's the best compliment you could receive!

Project: Replace about 250 feet of 30+ year old fencing. I was coordinating with 3 of my four…read moreneighbors (the 4th neighbor and I had replaced our mutual fence a few years earlier...) When I met Joe, I took an instant liking to him. He was knowledgeable and passionate. The bid went smoothly and I was looking forward to working with him. After a delay of about a month getting my neighbors in line and dealing with the logistics of all of our family pets not having access to their yards, I decided to proceed. He came out to re-familiarize himself with the project and sign paperwork. He was set to start work two days later on what he claimed to be a "no more than 2 1/2 day" job. The fun stopped basically after I wrote the first check. On Thursday: No Joe. I had taken time off from work and he was a no-show. I called him that afternoon and got some lame excuse as to why he wasn't there and wasn't coming. STRIKE ONE. On Friday he arrived on time. He was apologetic, but the damage was done. In what I can only suppose to be eagerness to make up time, he started demolition of the almost new section of fence I'd done with above mentioned 4th neighbor. He put nearly half of the relatively new fence on the ground before I could stop him. WTF? The demolition took longer than he expected for various reasons, so they didn't pour concrete on the new posts until late in the day. Because of that, Joe said, he couldn't do any work on Saturday. But what he COULD have done is repair the damage to the section of fence he had destroyed that wasn't part of the job. STRIKE TWO. They got about half of the job up on Sunday without incident, but it took all of Monday to finish the project. Actual time was twice that of his estimate. STRIKE THREE. Oh, and I shouldn't neglect to mention that their company truck left massive oil stains on the street in front of my house and a neighbor too. We'll try to forget all the irritated phone calls I had to field from disgruntled neighbors as well. On the plus side, the fence itself looks to be a good job and they cleaned up the site extremely well. Not nearly enough to counter all the negatives.
