I waited a month after Gilberto finished fixing my irrigation because I wanted to show the green grass that had been hiding from lack of water from my sprinklers for nearly a year. Long story, we had a bad irrigation person install our sprinklers in 2018. He totally overloaded the valves and also used cheap sprinklers so while they worked initially, apparently when the city reduced the pressure to homes, the sprinklers dropped in pressure significantly which then resulted in lack of coverage. So in 2021, I hired a highly rated irrigation specialist who charged me over $2,500 to supposedly fix my sprinklers which again kinda worked but after 6 months which was within the warranty, he was nowhere to be found so I had coverage issues again. but because of COVID , I took to hand watering the gaps as an activity and was able to keep things going. Fast forward to 2025 and not only was the coverage bad but the city must have reduced the pressure again so now none of the front sprinklers for the lawn could even pop up so I had to hand water the entire front lawn 2-3 times a week. This was getting to be too much but I struggled to call another irrigation company because I was worried I would be bamboozled again and we can't afford that but I just couldn't hand water forever and we even thought of going drought resistant which we are not a fan off so I did a ton of research to try to find another company that I could trust. I reached out to 3 companies and Gilberto (Gilbert) was the only one who identified the issue that my entire system was on sprinklers that were not pressure regulated which is now the current standard in California. Plus the others proposed significantly more invasive and cost prohibitive solutions. I don't know the technology but essentially the pressure regulated sprinklers helps add pressure so when the water pressure is not strong, it gives it a boost. This helps conserve water and I was floored by Gilbert offering to come and install a few to test it out for effectiveness and he even gave me a guarantee that if it didn't work, I didn't have to pay. Can you believe that? Well he came as he said he would, installed a few and the difference was amazing! So then we decided to fixed all the sprinklers in this same manner and one day , he texted me to say he had been thinking about our project and he wanted to share that there was a chance the fix may not work because we had 40 sprinkler heads on one valve. ( the max should be 8-12). Well we then discussed options and because of how genuine and knowledgeable Gilbert was, I put my trust in him and he implemented his plan. And voila! It now works and he even fertilized my grass afterwards to help it along and the photos say it all and as much as I love my garden, I am happy to have 3 hours a week back that Im not hand watering. Plus, he heard me complaining about how one sprinkler head was blocked by a plant and next thing I noticed, he added a riser. That wasn't even in our scope of work. And Gilbert has followed up 2 times in the last month to just see how things are going. I feel valued and he clearly takes pride in his work and cares about his customers and wants to have long term relationships. It's hard to find honorable and capable people these days but I finally found my irrigation prince after the frog. read more

Irrigation system wasn't working in one of my zones, so at my request, Gilbert first replaced potentially damaged tubing, followed by valve replacement which fixed the issue and was his recommendation in the first place. He also checked and fixed tubing in other areas of my front yard. Gilbert was very timely and responsive with communication and repair, and my plants are saved, huzzah! read more

I shopped around for a year for someone to take down an overgrown Crape Myrtle. Frank Artscaping had the best price. They came when they said they would and they did an excellent job of removing the tree. read more

Reasonable pricing, quick rezones, great to wok with. I am no longer wasting water.

Frank's Artscaping helped turn what was a stressful situation with seven overgrown trees on my lot into a well-priced solution with beautiful trees and ease of mind for me. Gilbert responded promptly to my request for an estimate and worked to schedule a time that fit out schedules and at a great price. His crew was here on time and worked very quickly to cut back the trees, including a mix of 50+ ft palm trees, California pepper trees, and a few others. The result looks great. On top of the solid workmanship, Gilbert graciously negotiated a good price for his crew to clear out an existing large pile of yard debris. Thank you! read more

When I needed someone to fix the sprinkler system at our property in Redondo Beach, I had multiple companies come out and give me a quote. Gilbert impressed me most. He was honest and knowledgeable in his assessment of my needs. His work was excellent, it has solved our issues. But his customer service is what made Frank's the right choice. read more

Gilberto and one of his men did a substantial jog for me, repairing my front and rear sprinklers, and adding a variety of upgraded sprinkler heads and new sprinkler locations. His bid was very reasonable and he ended up doing a few l additional things he came across as he did the originally agreed upon work, at no additional charge. I have used other sprinkler people to repair our sprinklers over the years. Although I have liked them too, none come close to Gilberto and Frank's Artscaping, in skill, reasonable prices, or ease to work with. I am very happy to have found Gilberto to take care of all my landsaping needs in the future. Thanks, Gilberto! read more

Super quick to come out for an estimate. Willing and able to do a smaller project involving irrigation modifications. Picked up a truckload of pebbles I'd ordered from Thompsons which in itself was a huge help to me. Pleasure to work with. read more

Gilberto and his crew did an excellent job repairing our 40+ head sprinkler system after years of neglect. They were friendly, responsive and demonstrated great attention to detail as each zone needed unique service. They took the time before and after to walk me through their repair approach & sprinkler timing settings and even followed up after with sodding and seeding of dead zones. Will certainly use their services again! read more

Gilbert came when we had an emergency to get our front sprinkler system working. We had a short from the rear control box. Instead of trying to sell me an expensive new system or to completely re-wire my current system, he came up with a simple and affordable option. We needed help right away, and he came on the weekend to fix our system before we were going to list our home for sale. He was professional, on time, and cleaned up perfectly. I could barely see where he had placed a new control line for the front valves. Highly recommended! Great service and a great man. Thank you so much, Gilbert! read more

Gilberto helped me to fix some broken sprinkler heads and a valve. Six months later he helped again when roots broke a different sprinkler pipe in the same area. During the time in between the jobs, he remembered a problem that I had with backflow and learned a new sprinkler technique to address it. He fixed the problem without me even being aware of it. He works hard and is always very polite. read more

I asked for a particular date and time to meet to discuss a quote for my job. The vendor suggested a different day and I agreed and accepted that day. Then they no-showed. They just said after the fact that they couldn't make it and said they hadn't confirmed. There's no reason I would put the responsibility for a big job with someone unreliable. read more

I did a Yelp search for 5-star landscape services and found Frank's Artscaping. I had a broken sprinkling system. I emailed them very late in the day, expecting an answer next day, but Gilbert called immediately and offered to come that very day (it was at least 6:30pm!) to diagnose!

AMAZING! Gilbert was recommended to me from a friend who worked with him. Both of us had absolutely amazing experiences. Gilbert was reasonable, collaborative, extremely knowledgeable, very hard working and polite. He always had a smile on his face. Gilbert and his team did a variety of landscaping tasks around our house including: - removing a large tree from our yard - installing new sprinkler system - installing new irrigation drip system for plants - removing and discarding all old plants - sourcing plants for front and backyard - grading and reseeding yard - installing new paver and lava rock walkway - etc. Throughout the project, the guys cleaned up at the end of each day leaving everything spotless. Gilbert answered a ton of questions I had along the way. He always kept me updated with what was next on the to do list and when he would be at the house. Truly a perfect experience. Everything turned out better than I expected. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend. I will add photos once the grass grows in to show the completed project. read more
