Our HOA in Berkeley has been using Fortino for several years for our landscaping/cleanup and he and his crew do a superb job. He is always on time and when they are done there is a dramatic improvement. With all the rain this year we had lots of weeds and it is now immaculate. I cannot say enough about what a good job he does! I would highly recommend his services. read more

This morning, I had the pleasure of the friendly, professional & efficient Fortino Alducin and his crew of two in my garden - in just 90 minutes, they totally cleared the weeds from my 10' x 12' garden, weeded out my strawberries and herbs, roto-tilled & mixed in amendments, re-shaped a giant flowering bush and tidied up everything! He did an amazing job, as always - I look forward to having him return and highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with garden or landscaping projects. He's the best! read more

They finally did get back to me and said they were really busy. I had already found someone to do the job so we didn't make an appointment. Maybe next time I'll try again. read more

Fortino came and helped me with a last minute project (refreshing the special gravel in my fenced garden.) I first reached out with a few questions and he found time to take a look, on the spot agreed they would be able to help right away. He had all the needed equipment, truck to bring stone, etc, so I avoided having to look at a hundred new options. I have more projects and look forward to calling him again! read more

Fortino is fantastic! He and his crew of one worked tirelessly to clean up my yard, which was a thicket of ivy, blackberry vines, weeds, thistles and overgrown shrubs. He's a real gentleman, who does what he says he's going to do, and does it very well. Now my yard looks great, instead of a jungle. I would not hesitate to use him again, or to recommend him to others. read more

Fortino has been a delight to work with. After a big construction project we needed to overhaul all of our landscaping. Fortino listened to our ideas, contributed his wealth of experience, and turned our desolate yards into gardens of Eden. He worked hard to replace our lousy topsoil, install a smart irrigation system, and hunt down plants we especially wanted. He had great ideas to fill in gaps where we were not sure what we wanted. We highly recommend Fortino! read more

Fortino Alducin Landscaping - a tree in the front yard - Landscaping Near Me

See all

Fortino has been helping us with drainage issues since last year. He was the first to respond when we said we needed help to install sump pumps (he even crawled under our muddy house on a Sunday when he was in his nice clothes) and we've had him come back multiple times since then. He is a really nice and reliable guy. He works hard and the guys he brings and uses for things he can't do (like electrical support) are also great. read more

Fortino and his crew just left our place and completed an excellent cleanup of our serverly overgrown landscaping. Very friendly, resonably priced, and completed the work within a business day of first contact. Highly recommend! read more

After all the rain this year, my yard was a jungle so I called Fortino for a spring clean up that included: Pruning of tall trees, weeding, trimming of hedges and bushes, grass cutting. Fortino and his crew were great just like all the reviews here. He arrived on time, brought all the necessary equipment and tools, the work was professional, clean, and neat. In addition, it was all done in one day. My yard looks fantastic, the price was very reasonable and Fortino is very easy to talk to. I highly recommend his company and will definitely hire him again in the future. read more

We also found Fortino on Craig's list! After hiring him to clean up a yard that had gotten a bit out of control, we hired him to do monthly maintence. We now spend our time on projects instead of the routine maintenance. Tino is a great guy; friendly, professional and very reliable! Give him a call if you need some help! We give him 5 Stars! read more

Fortino was a Godsend. He and his crew did an amazing job on my yard! The cleared out the mass of overgrown poppies and lavender and weeds and created a beautifully landscaped yard. He was punctual, professional and patient in listening to my ideas, helpful in explaining things and clearly has a love and knowledge of plants. He was also very reasonable and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and will call him again for sure. He is very busy so be a bit patient for the return response but it is well worth it. Emails seem to be the best way to reach him. read more

Fortino is super reliable, super fast and his rates are reasonable. We have a small, formerly decrepit yard (new rental) and zero time-- he came by the day after I called, came up with a plan for making it quite pleasant and liveable, did a bunch of work in under a week, and now comes by regularly to keep things maintained. I'm really happy we found him. read more

Fortino did an amazing job and an amazing amount of work in one day. Basically our yard was a jungle. On top of that, we had out of control bamboo. He listened to our concerns, asked questions and offered great ideas that I had not thought of. We are so happy with our yard now. We will be hiring him from now on. I highly recommend him. read more

Great experience with Fortino- easy to get a hold of, quickly responded...came and gave and estimate the very next day - and did the work on the spot. Two of them worked their butts off for 2 1/2 hours on the trumpet vine and jasmine that were way out of control in our front yard. Looks awesome!! Most definitely use them again! read more

A friend referred me to this guy. I called and left a message, he never called me back. When I called back he said he woops, he thought he HAD called back. So we made an appointment for him to come give me an estimate, for the next day after work. I left work early to get home in time, and he never showed up. No calls, no explanation. I hired someone else. read more

Fortino is professional, punctual, and affordable! We recently moved into a rental property, which had not been maintained for some time. The lawn was overgrown with weeds, the bushes were uneven, and the bases of the few, flowering plants were covered with dead, dried leaves and roots. After nearly four weeks of searching for a landscaper, we discovered Fortino. He came to our house to give us a quote and was able to come back the next day to complete the first round of much needed work. Fortino is incredibly polite and takes pride in always accompanying his crews. I would recommend him to anyone in the Bay Area, regardless of your lawn/project size! read more

Fortino has it all: He is responsive, flexible, does an excellent job, fast, affordable, and he is geninuinely a good person who is a pleasure to work with. He will even do gutters when needed. A class act - I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

After reading the other positive Yelp reviews, I hired Fortino to help me clear the weeds and overgrown plants at my new house. He was very prompt and professional - the yard looks great! I will definitely hire him again if I need extra help with the yard in the future. read more

I found Fortino here on Yelp! Highest recommendation. I had about a half acre of weeds, blackberries, and pampas grass I needed cleared, spread over a number of beds, a very deep drainage easement and hard to access plots. Fortino showed up four days later with a crew of two and went to work. Weeds, brush and small trees were removed quickly and thoroughly. Designated spots were all rototilled and raked smooth. Fortino went above and beyond, trimming up ancillary parts of the yard as he went. If he had a question, he asked. He was very clear about making sure he knew what I wanted and ensuring I knew what he would do. As I make progress with my property, Fortino will be on my short list for additional work and maintenance. One of the best tradesman with whom I've ever worked! read more

Quality work, reasonable price. Fortino was great to communicate with. They knew exactly what to do, and did it effectively and efficiently. Will certainly hire again. read more

I am so happy we found Fortino! When we moved into our house, the yard resembled a jungle more than backyard. Fortino spent hours weeding, trimming, etc and now that we are on a regular maintenance schedule, the neighbors complement us on the vast improvement of our yard! The best way to get ahold of Fortino is through text. He's probably working throughout the day continuously, so text seems to be easiest for him (me too, so it works well). read more

Fortino never showed up for our last two appointments even after confirming he was coming. Although he did good work when he did come, he is not reliable so I wouldn't recommend. read more

Found an ad for Fortino on Craigslist. He came out and gave us an estimate to clear blackberries and weeds from our backyard. He and another guy cleared and rototilled the yard in about 5 hours. Looked like alot of hard work. He was very professional and easy to talk to. Good communication by email and phone. Recommended and reasonably priced. read more

My irrigation system was not working and the plants were very dry. I called Fortino who came by within an hour, and fixed the watering system on the spot - not an easy job since the system is old, and the wiring complicated. He was professional and efficient, and very reasonably priced. I have hired him for regular maintenance in my yard. read more

Fortino was prompt, polite, and amazingly hard-working. He came out to give an estimate for some weeding work in outside space that is shared by 3 units in an HOA. He (and his colleague) was so fast and did such a good job that we asked him to come back to do much more extensive work. He had ideas for for what would look good in various areas of our garden, and used good judgment in situations where we had not been explicit about what to do. He was very responsive via text and email, which is how I prefer to communicate. We will not hesitate to ask Fortino to come back when we need more garden work done. I thought his rates were very reasonable, too. read more

Can't say enough about Fortino. He is reliable, professional and reasonably priced. He and his crew did a huge clean up of our front and back yards. I couldn't be happier! read more

Fortino is smart, dedicated, and conscientious. He came over when he said he would, gave me a fair estimate, and did a great job. He ended up having to do some hand weeding, which was unexpected- which he then included as part of his service at no extra cost. I will definitely hire him again. Thanks Fortino! read more

We contacted this business as a result of Yelp reviews. We were not dissapointed. Fortino responded quickly to our call, he gave a reasonable estimate for cleaning out the garden area,including uprooting old dead plants up and he showed up on time to do the job. You can tell he takes pride inhis work. His company delivered a professional job at a reasonable price. Highly recommended. read more

Working with Fortino has been phenomenal. Him and his team are incredibly professional, thorough, and efficient. He responds very quickly to any question and/or concern that you may have and tends to your needs as if they are his own backyard. I have been able to work with Fortino on everything from monthly gardening to landscaping advice and even structural (garden) maintenance. He is clearly knowledgeable and is dedicated to helping people feel good about their gardens and yards. I would highly recommend him and have! read more

Fortino was helpful, efficient, showed up on time and did my yard (which is fairly small) in one day. He was respectful and offered solutions to fit my needs. I would highly recommend him and will use him again. read more
