Eliel came out to provide an estimate for my sprinkler controller. He was very responsive on the Yelp messaging app at first. He arrived right around the time he said he would. He checked out my system and felt my issue was a quite switch of two wires. He swapped the wires and we attempted to test the system...it was not fixed. He then grabbed his tools. Before he did any work, I asked him how much. He waved his hand as if implying no charge. Eliel started to rearrange the wires and we tested several different configurations. He ended up spending an hour at my home and settled on recommending that I install a second sprinkler controller for the front sprinklers. I told him I'd talk it over with my husband and get back to him. I really liked Eliel, he appeared to be extremely knowledgeable about the sprinkler system. He tried explaining some stuff to me but I'm sure I had a blank look of my face. His estimate was little higher than other estimates I received but I really like his work ethic. I reached out to him the follow day to ask him to complete the job. It's been a few days and I haven't heard back yet. I'll wait another day or two and then I'll reach out to my other options to get this project done. read more

Eliel is a very responsive and punctual guy. He is also very passionate and knowledgeable about his work. I got a few quotes from different companies but his is most reasonable. My 50-year-old sprinklers system needs major overhaul including changing all valves, repairing some of the pipes and replacing some of the sprinkler heads. He was able to complete most of the tasks on time and continue to come back to test the timer and fix other problems. He even took additional effort to find a nice Rock shape cover for the unprotected valves. I have attached some photos showing before and after. read more

Reasonable and professional. I needed my sprinklers fixed after years of not working properly and they got the job done within a week! I definitely recommend. read more

Today I had BA True Gardens how to do a project and I'm extremely pleased with the job they did. They were here right on time and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend them if you're looking for a landscape company. read more

I don't know where to start! Eliel was the first out of many to respond to our request to troubleshoot our 16 stations of lawn sprinklers. He arrived on time and got right to work. After spending months conversing with four previous gardeners, Eliel diagnosed our sprinkler problem almost immediately. It was a quick fix and not our timer. He is honest and trustworthy, a quality lacking in most contractors. He was all about saving us money instead of charging us more money! B.A. True Gardens will be our go-to contractor for sprinklers from now on! read more

This business is terrible. They respond to your message, buy they do not come out. I waited all day for them to respond after we set an appointment. I received no call, but a few hours later, there was a message stating they came out, and then they blocked me when I tried to reach them via the Yelp website. read more

ELIEL AND HIS TEAM WERE SENT FROM GOD!!! My yard needed so much love and attention after all the rain we had in California. Eliel was not the 1st person to reach out but he was the one who took interest in what I needed done. We scheduled time to meet so he could see the yard. he was punctual, and professional. also very courteous and very fair in his pricing. The work was impeccable! and I can enjoy my backyard WITHOUT all the overgrowth and weeds. The main thing about Eliel that resonated with me was when he said there is NO JOB TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL, just call us. and I couldn't appreciate that any more. Thank you Eliel and BA True Gardens. read more

Eliel is fantastic. He responded almost immediately and was at the house within 24 hours. He diagnosed the issue almost immediately and fixed it. He is a consummate professional and knows his craft. If I could give more than 5 stars I would, and I recommend him to anyone. read more

I have used their services a few times now. They don't skip work and do everything that is asked. More importantly, they share good suggestions and go above what is expected. The work is clean and people who see it, ask for their number. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

Eliel deserves more than five stars. I put a project out through Yelp and he was one of the responses. Although he was the furthest from me, he was first to respond and first to move around his schedule to fit mine. He drove out very early Friday morning (it was easiest for both of us) and did a quick diagnostic of our drip system which is only three years old, but needed some repairs. He quoted my very fairly and after getting a few other quotes, I felt the most comfortable with him and he said he would be back on Monday early (again which was fine with me). After starting his repairs (there were a few) he got to the last portion and realized he didn't need to replace the valve to regulate the pressure as he originally thought. He only charged me for the work done, which I wouldn't have known either way. Eliel was honest, professional, licensed, responsive, and quick but thorough. Everything I would want in a contractor. He has a customer for life as long as he stays in this line of work. Thank you Eliel! read more

I am so happy I had the privilege to work with Eliel and his team- I cannot express how grateful I am to him for making me the garden of my dreams! He did a miraculous job transforming our weed infested front and back yards into EXACTLY what I wanted-a desert landscape in the front and garden oasis in the back. I had a strict budget so I interviewed several landscapers and Eliel not only provided a fair quote but his professionalism and heart were unmatched! As a first time home owner I was nervous about the whole project, however Eliel quickly put me at ease with his honesty and knowledge. I also feel it is important to acknowledge that he absolutely went above and beyond because he obviously takes pride in what he does and truly values the importance of making his customers 100% satisfied. He just finished the project last week and i have already recommended him to friends/ family and i am happy to use yelp to without any hesitation recommend Eliel to you the reader!!! read more

Eliel's communication was spot on. He was able to come and save a tree that uprooted during heavy rain, plus trim the other trees on my property. So far, it looks like he saved my favorite fruit tree, so I am a happy customer! Everything was cleaned up perfectly! Easy no contract transaction. Everything was taken care of while I was at work and I sent payment through zelle afterwards. read more

My little patio's irrigation system stopped working. After tinkering with the manual myself and couldn't get it to work I figured it is time to get professional help. Got to yelp and began a quote. Eliel from BA True Gardens was one of the first ones to respond. I was reaching out on a Saturday night and Eliel offered to come in Sunday morning. He arrived punctually on time. Began troubleshooting the issue. Found the issue and fixed it and also helped me understand the settings of the system so I can troubleshoot myself in future. I highly recommend BA True Garden's services for anyone looking for honest, hard working and professional landscaping needs and help. I have no doubt that with their diligence they are going to make a very good name. read more

I scheduled an appointment on October 26th for an estimate on a landscaping project. Eliel came to my house and said he would email a quote by the following day. I did not receive a quote via email, so I texted to make sure he was still going to send it. It's now November 5th and I have not heard from Eliel. Communication is important. I would have preferred for Eliel to say he could not or did not want to do the work. read more

Emails back and forth yesterday WITH ELIEL B and set a "hard and fast appt" for today at 3pm. Waited 40 min past 3pm, No show, No phone call, No text ...all equals NO JOB! I was a contractor for 42 years and never once did this to a possible customer... read more

Eliel and his team are TRUE professionals. He is careful, creative, hard working and exceeds expectations. I wanted to remove grass and replace with an updated sustainable garden with pebbles and mulch. He integrated with current landscape and created a look that is welcoming and contemporary. He and his staff are prompt, polite, and timely. They clean up as they work and leave the environment organized and livable even through construction parts of the project. He planted trees and updated irrigation. I highly recommend Eliel for all landscaping. His pricing is on target and reasonable I will be continuing with monthly maintenance as I am so impressed. read more

Eliel came out for a quote immediately! So nice, professional and beat out my other quotes. He gave great ideas and installed my grass/ trees right away! Great family owned business! Very happy read more

If you are looking for a drip irrigation installation....this is the company you need to hire. BA True Gardens is top notch. Eliel and Manuel from the BA team were great. Their attention detail is exactly what I wanted. They went the extra mile to make sure all of the lines were hidden. My project was a bit complicated because I am on a hill and have garden all around the house. Eliel took the time to walkthrough the whole garden with me and had it all worked out before we finished the walkthrough. So great! They kept the job site tidy and were just pleasant to be around. They even gave me some pointers on how to take care of some of my more delicate trees and plants. They were on time, their price is very fair, and the work quality is great. I am now looking to have this team come back to help me with additional garden projects. If you are looking for a great company who just does things correctly the first time around, this is the company to hire. I'm so happy I found them! Thanks for all! read more

The biggest flake I've worked with on any of my home projects. I was no showed for an appointment Eliel personally made with me. Then he doesnt return calls or respond to texts, but it says he has read them. Save the frustration, and wasted time, which he does not value or care about in the slightest. Eliel will get on here and write back his lies, saying YOU were the problem and he is a victim. He didnt get the job because his price was 3k over my highest bid and he took FOREVERto get me a quote. He will claim that you hired workers that arent legal, lol he has no idea who completed the work and cant admit to his own shortcomings. I openly admitted to Eliel, 3 weeks for a quote was too long and I went with someone else, who was also licensed, bonded ,insured and in good standings with the california contractor state license board (CSLB). Not only that, i was only getting a vinyl fence, and they gave me a quote the day they measured. You say you had to drive everywhere wasting gas money, we have cell phones in today's world and the internet, sounds like a you problem if you havent figured that out. He showed up with his under aged son and completed one of my projects, how legal is that? I still tipped him $200 on that job also, but he of course won't share that information with you guys. I literally have a job completed with his company and here he admittedly doesnt take calls or texts after completing it. Good luck with any warrantys if you use him, he will ghost you and come up with the craziest stories, just like this one. Shame on you Eliel read more

BA true gardens provides superb support and honest prices. They are prompt and won't try to rip you off. I highly recommend that if you are looking for a great landscaping service that you reach out to these folks. They are the best in LA! read more

I hired Eliel to professionally landscape my front and back yards. It was a size-able job including laying down Bermuda sod and installing an underground drip irrigation system, with the agreement that Eliel would be my go to person for ongoing maintenance (fertilization as needed, any type of repair, etc). I made several appointments with Eliel a few months after installation was done to fertilize the lawns and he flaked each and every time, eventually becoming unresponsive all together. If you are unwilling to accept the "smaller" work, be honest and say so. Do not waste someone's time by committing to multiple dates and times for service and not show up. Communication is so very important when doing business. While BA True Gardens will make your yards look nice and get the "big" jobs done, unfortunately, they are not a reliable company to choose. read more

This last rain overwhelmed my yard with weeds and our trees limped and bent from all of the rain. I needed help, but I wanted someone at my home who is communicative and professional. Eliel and his team provided a fair quote, arrived on time, communicated well, and did a great job cleaning up my front and back yards. I am definitely requesting his help with my additional landscaping needs and I highly recommend property owners with landscaping needs contact him. read more

Great service! I messaged them for a quote and Eliel messaged me back right away. They came the very next day and my yard looks great!

The estimate he gave us was very reasonable but we decided to do it ourselves. Very nice guy, professional and not pressuring us to go with him. He even offered advise in some areas. read more

Eliel is a very responsible, helpful landscaper. I needed him to look at some brush clearance at my house in the hills. Highly recommend!

I had what I thought was a leak near my sprinkler valves and needed help ASAP. Eliel response was quick and he was here early the next morning to help. He is honest, fast and knowledgeable. I will definitely call him for any problem or work I need in the future! read more

At this point, I am not ready to begin a project at this time. I will contact this company first when I am at that stage. They were very prompt in responding. Their advice of a beginning step was very helpful. read more
