Blooms Gardening - Landscaping Near Me

As you can see, I've left dozens of 5 star reviews and very few if any low reviews. I hope that this review helps blooms gardening and others. First, let me start with the good. Paul is a good guy. He communicates well over text & phone and in person. He is trying to run a small business in a hard environment. I root for people like Paul. I like hiring people like Paul. Usually that works out; in this case, it did not entirely. I had Paul do some yard work for me. The main project was turf install. I'l get to that in a second. In addition, Paul also did some yard cleanout and some new plant install. Those things went very well. I'll add those pics later. The turf was the main project, and where most of the expense was. The end product is really not good. I've had many people --a half dozen --both from the trades and friends who have installed turf --take a look and all have pointed out the many ways it is subpar, which I've attached pictures of below. 1. The seam is in the wrong place. It simply is in the most visible place and unnecessarily. To his credit, Paul owned that this was a mistake placement, but didn't correct the job. 2. The seam is not tight --it's scrunched and pulls up anywhere you pull on it. 3. The edges are messy --see pics 4. The edges are not secure --see pics. 5. It's not at all graded --it has mounds throughout. I'm not sure how this is possible, as grading is a very basic thing one does before install. It's perhaps the most noticeable bad element of the job. To Paul's absolute credit, he was always responsive when I complained, but I knew it wasn't going anywhere --I was pushing a rock up a hill: he and I simply disagreed on what turf should look like when it's done, and I just grew tired of calling out problems when the fundamental problem is mine: I should have hired someone else. Win some lose some. To summarize, if I had to do it differently I * would not make final payment until I'm satisfied (not the first time I've made this mistake!) * would hire Paul for yard cleanup and light landscaping * would hire someone else for turf read more

Are you in need of an amazing backyard? Paul at Blooms Gardening helped us put in plants in our backyard garden to prepare the house for sale. He did a tremendous job. He started by selecting beautiful flowering bushes, some sculptural grasses, lovely succulents abs then added black ground covering to tie it all together. GORGEOUS. He then maintained the gardens for several weeks while the house was on market, weeding and watering and taking terrific care of everything. The house sold and I credit Paul's artistic vision and loving care with part of the reason we had a successful sale! Paul's your guy, what we your gardens or yard needs! read more

Wonderful job maintaining our 6 city tree beds that were in a really bad state before they came!

Recently had projects done by Paul and his blooms team and I am absolutely thrilled with the work they completed. Professional, courteous, competitively priced, great communication and overall a fantastic experience. Paul is a great guy. Blooms will be managing my gardens for the foreseeable future. Thanks guys. read more

Paul has always been prompt, courteous, hard-working and fair - we love having him and his team help us out with our yard!

Paul and his crew did an amazing job clearing out our backyard in SF (removing the mulch groundcover, flower beds, stumps and several large plants), and replacing it with artificial grass and smaller but easier-to-maintain flower beds. We got exactly what we wanted - a much more usable space that is great for our kids to play in and relaxing for adults to hang out in. Paul was super easy to communicate with, and he and his crew did the work quickly and well - I'm so glad I hired Paul and highly recommend him to anyone looking for landscaping work in SF. read more

Great work! Paul and team were fast and made a huge improvement to my backyard. And I found it affordable compared to other quotes too

I asked for our big fir tree to be trimmed Nd they did it quickly and also cleaned up on the neighbor's side

We worked with Paul and his team on a small backyard project to clean up some garden beds, install weed matting, and put down some fake grass. Paul was easy to communicate with, and the team's work was good quality. I appreciated that they were neat workers who made sure the garden waste was taken away and everything was cleaned upon their departure. We are pleased with the work and will seek him and his team out again when we need another job done. read more

Paul has been doing our backyard for a couple years now. He and his team do great work. I highly recommend Blooms Gardening.

We've worked with Paul Howley of Blooms Gardening for several years now and have had an excellent experience from the start. We first met Paul after purchasing a home in Noe Valley, where our overgrown yard was in desperate need of attention. From day one, he brought everything back to life with expert care, and now, years later, we continue to rely on him--even as we manage the property remotely. Paul is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly reliable. We set up quarterly maintenance appointments at the start of each year, and he always keeps us on schedule without fail. He's quick to respond, thorough in his work, and ensures everything is handled--including hauling away debris, which has been a huge help. He makes what could be a tedious process completely effortless for us. Beyond his skill and reliability, Paul is also just a joy to work with. As a remote property manager, I get a lot of messages on the go, and Paul's texts are always lighthearted, funny, and guaranteed to brighten my day. It's rare to find someone who is not only great at what they do but also a genuinely kind and pleasant person to interact with. He brings not just skill, but also a great attitude to his work, which makes the entire process that much better. Our tenants have had nothing but positive things to say, often mentioning how noticeable the difference is after Paul visits. If you're looking for someone dependable, detail-oriented, and skilled in his craft, we can't recommend Blooms Gardening highly enough! Thanks for everything, Paul! read more

Paul has done great work on our yard. He's very reliable and communicates very well. Highly recommend.

Paul has done several yard projects for us and all have been excellent. He and his team sanded down and restained a 25-year-old deck and brought it back to life. After one year, it still looks great. He saved a large banana tree that grew so big it was falling over. And he does regular pruning on our large trees in the garden. He's a pleasure to deal with, timely and does great work. His prices are quite reasonable -- great value. read more

Paul and his crew really cleaned up my back garden, which was overgrown with weeds and blackberry. They also cleaned up the deck and made everything looks so tidy. Efficient, effective and punctual. I've been using Blooms for years now. read more

Paul is very responsive to the requests and questions. He showed up exactly on time for the appointment. Later I asked some questions with text messages and he replied promptly and patiently. When I almost decided to install real grass at the backyard, he remind me of the trees that would make it difficult to grow and maintain the grass. For some other reasons, we postponed the project to a later date. I will definitely contact him again when we do the project. read more

Paul and Edoardo are a wonderful team. They came not just on time but early each time we met. They know plants they are thorough. They are neat and clean and clean up after themselves. I highly recommend Paul and his team to anybody that needs a reliable and great Gardner. read more

Paul and team did a great job with our garden. Very nice folks, and the results are terrific. Easy to communicate with, too.

Paul is great! He did weeding, weed barrier, mulch as well as tree maintenance. He also removed a dead tree and put in a new one for us. Very responsive and prices are very reasonably. He did such a great job my neighbor also hired him! We will definitely continue to use his service for yard maintenance. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area needing gardening services! read more

We needed to prepare the house for sale, and make our backyard look like actual backyard with greens and flowers and trees, there were only concrete walls all around. He gave me so many tips about how we can make it look nicer. Unfortunately, the quote he gave was a little over our budget, so we end up going with our friend's gardener who pretty much did it for free, we only paid for the material. It doesn't mean Paul's prices weren't reasonable, it's just we had a tight budget. Otherwise, i would definitely have hired Paul and his colleague Declin for this job, looks like they know what they're doing, they act professional and very responsive. read more

Paul did great job on my yard in Daly City he cleaned the existing rocks and put artificial turf looks great and put treated boards all around the edges with plants and covered with black mulch and covered the cracked areas of concrete and paint the concrete.

I hired Paul to install synthetic turf in the backyard of my house out in the Richmond district (approx. 20 feet x 15 feet) I could not be happier with how it turned out. Paul was a joy to work with right from the beginning! He came out to view the yard and gave me a detailed quote later that same day. His price was much more reasonable than the other two bids I received. He was professional, punctual and knows his craft very well. He completed the job in just 3 days. I would highly recommend Bloom's gardening for any yard work you need done. I will definitely be calling Paul again! read more

Paul did a good job! Communication was great! He removed old plants and did some nice planting.

Paul helped us prep a home for sale. The backyard had not been maintained for several months, so Paul and his team diligently brought everything back to life. He is extremely professsional and courteous and pays attention to all the little details that make a big difference. His response time is prompt and he will provide a honest quote upfront. The cost is very reasonable and a great value, especially given the effort put into the job. read more

I hired Paul to remove a huge overgrown vine from a gazebo in our yard recently. Paul was able to give me a quote over FaceTime which was very convenient, and also safer due to covid-19. He did a great job, completing the vine removal faster than estimated and also cleaned the entire area afterwards. I would definitely work with him again. read more
