A couple months after they finished many of the plants died. I sent photos and asked Fil to replace them. He told me we needed to wait until it was warm again. I contacted him in May, when he said he would replace the dead plants. Nothing happened in June even though I contacted him again. Nothing happen in July, so I contacted him again in August and asked for a refund so that I could just buy the plants and replace them myself. On August 13 he said he needed a week and then he would send me the refund. It is now September 14 and I still have dead plants (more have died in the meantime), no refund and not a word from Fill. After I posted this review Fil contacted me and did follow through on providing a refund. As I mentioned above, his crew is professional.

While it has been a couple years since they did the work at our home, we are still so dissatisfied…read morewith their work done. The biggest complaint was our big and hearty Japanese persimmon tree in our backyard. At the time they landscaped our backyard, the tree had so many beautiful little persimmons growing into what appeared to be another year of more persimmons than we could handle! My mom (now deceased) planted that tree over 50 years ago and we enjoyed sharing the fruit with so many friends who loved them! SGV Gardeners put mulch in the planter where the persimmon tree was. NOTE: Mulch in that planter was NOT on our contract! We watched the leaves on the tree start to wilt and die along with all of the fruit. Shockingly, the entire tree died in a very short time. We found on the internet that you should not put mulch up to the trunk of a persimmon tree or it would kill it. It was so heartbreaking to lose something so special and beautiful, not to mention something that held such tremendous sentimental value!!! In addition, they planted our hydrangeas on the opposite side of the backyard (full sun throughout the day) and they shriveled up and died. Ling mistakenly sent an email to me, intending it for Cesar, the man she works with. The message said, "I got her to close for..." and listed the dollar amount. It sounded like a "gotcha". They definitely WERE NOT worth the price paid. They also damaged an area of the finish we had just completed on our beautiful planters. Thankfully my husband noticed and pointed it out. They initially tried to deny damaging the planter but thank goodness I had had just taken pictures of the planter prior to SGV starting so they had to accept responsibility. We definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND them. I would score them -10 (negative) if I could!

Yelp 100 Challenge 2016 - Review 16 of 100…read more.. After realizing that two very overgrown trees on my father's property were (potentially) causing damage to piping and cement in his complex AND were a nuisance to the neighbors, I searched Yelp for places to contact to gather three estimates... * The first was with Bennett Landscaping around the corner: I was very unhappy with the entire process - I received returned correspondence much later than anticipated, the estimator showed up at 7am after being scheduled for an 8:30am appointment time despite saying I was available to meet earlier than that during the phone consultation, and it took two days to get an estimate emailed to me. Not cool! * The second was with Finley's in Torrance (thanks, Joan S, for your thorough review!). The phone conversation, consultant who provided an estimate after a thorough investigation of the property, emailed estimate I received that night (that matched what the consultant quoted), and follow up estimate for prices to consider in the event that my dad wanted to utlilize them for upkeep were amazingly efficient. The only down side - they are popular and needed a three week lead time to set an appointment. * International Tree Service was the only "mom and pop" / non-corporate estimate I sought. It has great reviews on Yelp and I wanted to get a variety of opinions before making my decision. I called the number on Yelp and received an answer that did not detail the name of the company. I introduced myself as a potential customer and asked if the number was for the business tied to it - Raul replied "yes" before telling me his name and asking how he could help me. We scheduled a consultation for two days later, and, by the time I saw Raul that Thursday, he was the breath of fresh air I needed after a long day of trying to work in between the consultations. Raul is a handsome young man in his early 20s who came off a little more timid in comparison to the first two estimators, but he's just polite and a sweetie. Once he got outside, he told my father and I what types of trees were there, asked questions about how to get the debris from the back to the front (there is no gate door), told us about his insurance and licensing, quoted an estimate ($50 more than Finley's), and - here's the clincher - he noticed a hummingbird nest I never had and said he would protect it so the mother could return to her eggs. I don't like birds of any kind (they always attack me - no joke), but I was impressed by his respect for nature! He was ready to return the next day to complete the job, but we scheduled to have him come the following Tuesday. The following Tuesday as I was waiting for Raul's scheduled 9am arrival, I realized it was trash day and the normally early trash and recycle trucks had not yet passed through. I called Raul to inform him and ask if he would be able to move his truck and equipment when the trash collectors arrived (I had no idea what type of truck and equipment he would be bringing and how much of the fire lane in the complex it would block). Not only did Raul and his business partner, Hugo, move out of the collectors' way, they moved my father's AND the neighbors bins for easier retrieval! Raul and business partner Hugo are young Latin tenders who have been in business for themselves for five years after previously working for a mutual friend's landscaping business. They decided to go into business for themselves and have been pretty successful ever since. Raul said Yelp and word of mouth helps a lot, but they would like to earn more business and new customers. They seem to work very well together - Raul seems to be more of the "face" of the business and would gather the debris from across the top of the fence before neatly stacking it to be fed to the wood chipper (I'm not sure what exactly that is called). Hugo was up in the trees smoothly and quickly sawing off sections of branches before handing them over to Raul on the other side of the fence. In my opinion, here are the only "help needed" areas for this partnership: * I didn't like that I had to call for another reason the day of the appointment to find out that they would be late. It wasn't very late, but it would have been nice if they called to inform me instead of me finding out the way I did. * This business currently accepts cash and checks - no credit cards. Other than these two points, I would definitely recommend International Tree Service with Raul and Hugo - especially for those who like to support local smaller, independent businesses. They were the most responsive and most engaged, and they did a wonderful job of clearing up the back patio area!

Given the recent fires and high winds, we were worried that the tree could potential either fall or drop branches, damaging our roof. We were able to talk to Edward and he definitely helped us out. He referred us to an arborist who provided us with a report and permitting. His team then came and cut down the oak tree. It was a phenomenal job and they were very cautious to ensure no damage to the roof despite the fact that it was leaning over the house pretty significantly. Edward has been very responsive and was texting/calling us for updates or any questions. He also was able to find 2 oak trees and plant them on our property. We are very satisfied with their care and greatly appreciate their service. I would highly recommend them to ANYONE looking for tree trimming or landscaping services. Suffice it to say, we will be using them in the future as well for all of our needs. Thank you!

Our mailbox had been smashed multiple times due to its location on the curb of a busy, tight residential street, and we needed a solution that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing. From the start, the team was incredibly professional, timely, communicative, down-to-earth and trustworthy. They helped us navigate city permitting and designed and built a beautiful column insert mailbox into a new stunning smooth stucco wall that was setback from the sidewalk. Removing the mailbox from the curb and inserting it into the wall not only eliminated the liability of it getting hit by cars but also elevated the look of our home. This wall was the final touch we needed to complete the renovations we'd been working on for years, really tying it all together beautifully. AJ and Mario, the foreman, were amazing to work with--personable, honest, always willing to listen to our needs and concerns. AJ was on-site consistently, ensuring everything ran smoothly and keeping us in the loop every step of the way. What stood out most was their ability to blend functionality with design. The updates they made didn't just solve practical problems; they completely transformed the curb appeal of our property. What was once an eyesore is now a standout feature in the neighborhood, and we've gotten rave reviews from neighbors who are feeling inspired to make their own updates! The craftsmanship and attention to detail were top-notch, and the entire process was seamless from start to finish. If you're looking for a team that combines professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their clients, Pali Coast is the way to go.
