A broken pipe, water pouring out and impacting water supply to our horses had myself early Saturday…read moremorning in a panic. I shutoff the water and starting calling multiple sprinkler repair and landscaping companies in the area. Rafael Landscaping returned my call in less than 15 mins and after explaining the situation Rafael the owner drove over by himself to inspect the problem. He had a job being worked by 5 of his crew in the area but starting working to dig out the broken pipe, went to get the necessary parts and fix the problem himself! The job took about 3 hrs after exposing the broken pipe, driving to get parts and performing the repair. Then Rafael informed the price, which was far less than I expected! Rafael gave me the standard labor rates for such a repair plus materials by his company which I expected to be higher and yes I added more to extend my thanks for such a fast response and priority Rafael gave to our situation! Thank you Rafael Landscaping from us and our pets!

He is willing to work within your budget and will talk through the process with you. He prices his work fairly. His crew always showed up on time and ready to work. They are super hard working. We have already asked for another estimate for landscaping. So happy we found our team!

It's been two winters since then and the DG is holding up well even through heavy rains and leaf blowing. All I've had do to maintain it is rake and occasional Round-up spraying to get rid of clover that is inevitable over time. This was high-quality work from a crew that is efficient and knows what they're doing; I'd hire them again.

They did an amazing job with the yard cleanup and we couldn't be happier.

Juan install new sprinklers and sod in our small 550 sf front yard on 4/26/2021. Juan had his guys…read morehere on a Saturday and tore out the lawn. After about a week the new sod was in. The sod looked very good over-all, but some of the edges having gaps between the rolls. I added lawn soil and seed and the lawn looked good until about 4 months ago. Mind you that was only 8 months after it was installed. Areas on the right side near or hedges stated to die. I tried seeding it with various types of seed with no luck - nothing would grow. Let me state clearly, I know how to prep and plant sod as I worked at a golf course and had the best 3000 sf Kentucky Bluegrass front lawn (that I prepped, put in the sprinkler system, put on top soil and rolled the sod) in my neighborhood for over 34 years. I texted Juan over a month ago, on March 8, 2022 and asked him to come by to take a look and see if we could understand what was wrong with the sod in the one area. I in fact, asked him in two messages to PLEASE come by and take a look. His reply was "it's the same area that you have always had problems with - there is nothing I can do. I did everything right, the soil, prep, irrigation is got a good coverage - probably is not getting enough sun - not much I can di about that." That was the WRONG reply. I paid $3200.00 to him on April 26, 2021 to replace the existing sprinklers and sod in the house that I had purchased as I was told that he was the best guy around. Well guess what? Juan put on the wrong sod for the exposure! We needed a shade tolerate blend and he used the wrong sod blend. Juan Rios is a lic'd contractor in the State Of Califirnia and he has an obligation to stand behind his work and to know what sod will grow here in Danville and especially here in Blackhawk. (He in fact saw the old sod and that it was NOT growing in this area before he started the job and had every opportunuty to obtain the correct sod.) After I stated (and not threateed) that I would go to the Calif. Contractor's Lic board and Contra Costa County small claims court, Juan called he and in a VERY defensive tone and told he that he did not like to get threatened and stated that he would remove the sod, put a layer of top soil and lay the new sod. He also stated immediately after the call, that he wanted to "put this all behind us and that he would replace the sod with the kind I tell him in and will consider it done." Gee, that was a quick reply from a guy that had said there was nothing he could do. After a couple of emails, I specified the sod type and I offered to pay for the it if he would just install it. Juan stated that he would pay for the new sod and install it and wanted no further issues. He also stated that I was to pick the type of new sod - which I did. I specified Shade Blend Grass from Sod and Seed. Juan stated that he didn't know when he'd do what he now promised but that it would be at least two weeks out if not more! Well, 6 weeks have passed and we are now on the 7th week with no futher calls or texts from Juan concerning the installation schedule. Over the past month, I have babied the lawn. It has been over seeded, fertilized, and watered. With a lot if work on my part it is growing well EXCEPT the spots that I originally asked Juan to check out are still bare. Today, 4/26/22 I texted Juan that rather than have him tear everything out, I offered that if woud just bring me one fresh roll of the correct sod that I would install it myself. That text was set at 9:51am and at 9:36pm I've received no reply. It's sad, Jwhat could have been something that he as well as I the customer could have been proud of (a beautiful green plush lawn that he installed and I maintain) has gotten to be a less than enjoyable experience. Do I want an enemy or to post a poor review? NO! But when I pay someone for a service I expect them to do the right thing and come by when requested to take a look. I don't expect a defensive response to problem before it's even looked at, or a response that he did't everything right and frankly it is my problem. In this State, there are courses of action regarding contractor law and consumers rights and when I a wronged I excerise them including posting this review. I'll be certain to update this review if anything changes.

You need a hard working, dependable, reasonably priced, owner-operated landscape service? These…read moreare your guys! We have been using Red Leaf for 3 years, and have been very satisfied with their work. Mostly, they come and take care of our lawn, edging, and leaf removal. But we have also had them do special clean up work, mulching, and small tree and shrub removal. Their work has always been first rate, their crew dependable and responsive, and their prices very competitive. Tony is often there with the crew helping out and supervising the quality. When I have had any special requests for the lawn service, Tony and his crew have been very willing to accommodate. Most recently, we had them do a more complicated job...replacement of a wood retaining wall that was failing. Tony, the owner, was there from start to finish. His design included improving the drainage and upgrading it from a poor structural design used in the original fence. The finished work looks perfect, better than the old wall, and of course has the design improvements. Only drawback (and minus a star) is that you do occasionally need to haggle over price to keep it reasonable. For example, he recently increased our lawn price, saying it was for extra leaf removal work in the fall. But I suspect it is really to make up for the fact that we want them on an every other week schedule over the slow-growing summer months. Granted, not all lawn services will even let you do every other week. But, If we ever look for another lawn contractor, that would be the main reason. On special projects, he has been much more fair with regard to pricing.

I had already read-up on possible solutions to my problem, but George quickly came up with a better approach. He gave me an estimate, and was done a few hours later (for those curious to know what was done: replaced and adjusted lots of sprinkler nozzles, moved and replaced a valve to a more hidden location, added a second valve, fixed a leaky pipe connection) Even though he worked slightly longer than his estimate he stuck to his estimate for pricing. He was also happy to provide me with some tips and answer a few of my other landscaping related questions. His pricing is competitive and very honest. I will be calling him the next time I have a problem or need some work done. One note: I left him a phone message which he said he never heard. Considering how quickly he was able to schedule the work, I believe him. So you might want to double check that he gets your message.
