They sent a landscaping crew out to my property yesterday at 8am and worked until 6pm and did and amazing job of landscaping beautification. They did all of the work that I requested and more! If you want your property professionally landscaped I highly recommend Garcia landscaping. I promise you that you will not be disappointed. read more

Please do not use this service!!! I urge you to look at this and other reviews to see how terrible this company is!!! We are no longer able to work in the yard due to our age. So, we hired Garcia Landscaping to rip out the old sidewalk and replace it, build a retaining wall, lay sod, lay mulch, and add new plants. The work was so poorly done that we have had no choice but to hire another professional to fix all the problems they caused: 1) The SCANTLY-WRITTEN contract stated that Garcia was to use brown mulch, they instead used Black mulch, WHICH HAD MOLD!!! Garcia threw some mulch only on parts of the flower beds and then left the old brown mulch on other parts. Garcia stacked the mulch high on some parts such as the tree roots, WHICH CAN KILL A TREE! All of the moldy black mulch had to be taken up and some other mistakes had to be fixed, WHICH COST ANOTHER $5,000!!! In the mulch bed, we also paid for them to remove roots and a root stump, when we had to take up the mulch, we found out that Garcia DID NOT remove those roots. 2) That $5,000 also covered the cost of replacing the "new plants", because Garcia landscaping put in DEAD, DYING, OR INSIGNIFICANT plants. 80% of the plants had to be taken up. Also, some of the plants were not even planted they were just placed in the mulch. Garcia also was asked to put in some specific types of plants and he kept on claiming that "they were on the truck", they were NEVER received. 3) With the sidewalk, Garcia took the old concrete slabs and PLACE THEM ON OUR PROPERTY IN THE WOODS!!! They never hauled it away, they created THREE trash piles in our woods. If I pay someone to do something, SHOULDN'T THEY DO IT!!! The electric line for the lights on the side walk was THREE feet away from the sidewalk and covered in mulch, we also had to pay for that to be fixed so it would be protected. 4) We use another service to place Termite traps around our property; Garcia COVERED all of these traps in both the mulch and sod, some were even thrown into the woods, THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE!!! The Termite company had to locate and uncover these essential traps. 5) We questioned the unevenness of the sod and we were told that the owners had to physically roll the corners down ourselves. We paid for Garcia to lay the sod, if we wanted to "roll it" then we would have not paid for this service. We have some picnic tables and a grill in our yard and Garcia did not move them to place down sod there. NOW, we just have a patch of sodless yard. At least a THIRD of the sod has NOT SURVIVED!!! 6) The downspout drainage pipes that run across our property to drain was covered up by sod at the exit point. Water started to backup along the pipe. That was another thing that we had to PAY ADDITIONAL for to be fixed. 7) For the retaining wall, they left deep tracks caused from their Bobcat machinery. They REFUSED to fill that in, and we had to PAY for someone else to fill it in. The Bobcat also left many digs IN the driveway and left it filthy. Garcia stated that he "would clean the driveway", no surprise Garcia DIDN'T. 8) They placed stone veneer around the foundation. Around the back corner, they left it unfinished and jagged under our deck. 9) Garcia broke our fence. They tore down the gate and part of the fencing and never mentioned it to us. When we discovered it laying on the ground Garcia stated that it was "old". The fence gate was working perfectly well before Garcia interacted with it. 10) Garcia broke two large stepping stones that were on our property, Garcia never mentioned breaking them. Garcia himself is an UNPROFESSIONAL person. Garcia says one thing and does another. Garcia falsely charged us more than agreed upon and we now have a contested bill of an additional $5,000. In the Clipp Magazine, there was a $500 coupon, which he REFUSED to take. He had agreed to come back to clean up and make repairs but Garcia HAS NOT RETURNED EVER!!! He stated in his advertisements that he pays attention to details, but HE DOES NOT AND CUTS ALL POSSIBLE CORNERS!!! As you can see with the previous comments, he does not do a good job and will cost you more just to fix all the issues he creates. We thought that we were paying for a service that would make our yard into a beautiful landscape that we could enjoy in our golden years, instead we have had nothing but misery dealing with Garcia and having to fix the problems caused. This feels like "age discrimination". read more

STAY FAR AWAY!!!! Unprofessional, unreliable. Absolutely terrible. Not trustworthy. Expensive. They don't respond to phone calls. Did my job halfway and never returned. Paid money and never got my money's worth. Complete mess all over. Will never ever recommend them ever again. Horrible business practice. My friend had the exact same thing happen! read more

I had the crew come out to pour a concrete pad for a shop they took down some trees and cleared the area for the pad very mindful of the surroundings took great care to make sure nothing in the area was damaged when finished the area was cleaner than when they started I would highly recommend Garcia landscaping for all your yard needs very good company to do business with keep up the awsome work read more

Workers were good. At the job site when finished only then was I told cash on first visit although the owner claimed he told me on estimate day. Quote was first three fifty then during the visit then said 50 more to 400 total because came to give an estimate . Finally agreed to take check. Just the facts as I see them. Also management raising voice to the point of yelling on the phone was very unprofessional in my free speech opinion. read more

In Stafford County, Garcia tore out our old sidewalk and installed a new patio with pavers. Throughout the process, their manager and crew were extremely professional and helpful. Julio gave us several good options at different price points. Work was completed on time, with proper clean up and new grass seed put down to cover spaces. We are so pleased that now we are asking them to build a new aluminum fence for us. Highly recommend! read more

I paid Garcia Landscaping to do a minor job and I was fairly happy with the friendly workers, price, and work until I recently raised questions about the installation. When inquiring about this, management, who I assume to be the owner, was extremely disrespectful and outright unprofessional. Due to that, I highly recommend you take the company's low rating for face value and take your business elsewhere. read more

We have used their services for firewood, lawn maintenance and snow/ice removal. They are responsive and thorough.

I am very pleased with the landscaping work completed by Garcia Landscaping this week. Julio was very pleasant and helpful with suggestions and listened to what I wanted. We worked together planning new bushes. The work crew was efficient and worked very hard all day tearing out and planting new bushes. The areas were completed in one day and they cleaned up everything. This is the second time I've used this company and would highly recommend Garcia Landscaping to all! read more

Garcia landscaping sealed and stained our patio & walkway. They have also been doing our spring & fall clean up for several years now. We also had slate put down around our garden beds. They have been professional every time. Highly recommend. read more

Beautiful stone overlay done for porch and sidewalk. Had them finish work the builder left undone and completed the same quickly after working around the rain. Bunch of nice guys who were a bit shy but hardworking. I am happy with what they accomplished. read more

Stay away from this contractor! They are completely disrespectful, give false quotes and do anything they can to cut corners and left our property a mess. We got a quote for a ground level patio, including demo and removal of existing sidewalk and steps with a certain stamp pattern, color, and border. When the crew showed up they wanted to overlay the entire old patio without demo, and have an 8" step all the way around which would have created a huge tripping hazard! We argued about the job order and ended up calling the office. Only then did they start the demo. We ended up calling the office several more times because they were not following the job order and quote, including almost having the wrong stamp style and colors, and not doing the border on all sides. We were also having them install a lawn sprinkler system with phone app. They dug one of their ditches ten feet across a very pronounced property line and cut my neighbors water line. Next, they were going to leave without proving all zones worked or showing us how to program it or work it. Upon insistence they tested the system and three heads were not working, and they never installed the sensor for the phone app, telling me to buy it at Lowe's myself. They left the exterior of our house a mess with concrete dust all over the siding and door, and they scraped up and left huge gouges in our wooden pillars on the porch. When we pointed this out they insisted on a check for a "complete job." They never seeded the areas of the lawn where they dumped excess dirt. For two days they had stone dumped blocking our mail delivery. We had to sit outside with them ALL DAY FOR FOUR DAYS, (even though they said they would finish in 3 days) and ended up calling the office at least once every day, most days multiple times due to impending errors or issues. We live in a mixed community of full timers and vacation/summer homes. If we were not here these four day the entire project would have been 100% wrong. read more

This company is very unprofessional from the get go. To get a quote, it took me multiple times by phone and email to get answer and an actual quote with prices and how they came to that number. I asked for lawn maintenance (cut grass, remove weeds, and remove tree branches), build up the mulch pit in the front yard, and add new mulch to locations that already existed. What I got was a job half done and had to have them come back out to cut weeds and add mulch alongside the house which was completely missed. Their answer was to throw mulch on top of the weeds cut a few branches to make me happy. I could have hired help from the street and they would have done a better job than this company. Do not waste you time with this company. The photos attached are what a completed job is to them. read more

I made a deposit (5k)for a concrete job. Once I realized the verbal quote of 10k was too much for 20x20 ,8 yards or so of plain concrete to be laid and a shed elevated. I canceled. I never signed a contract either because he was sending it the next day. I used a credit card instead of debit card in case something like this happened. I canceled the same day, once I read the reviews and was told 8 yards 4000psi was only 1735. 8k for labor? Ridiculous I have not received my credit card deposit back. I'm not worried. Bank and attorney has been notified. I am a black retired female 100% disabled veteran with PTSD/anxiety who has been taken advantage. This is extremely upsetting for me. This company is all over Aquia Harbor and surrounding communities of military veteran families. Lesson learned, everyone isn't treated fairly from this company according to the reviews it seems people of color should stay away from this company or expect to be cheated out of your money. I was hesitant in making a review however it's in GODs hands and documented. Y'all need to know about the unethical behavior. It does not take this long to charge credit back to a credit card. Never pay cash always do credit because of unethical business practices. FYI, The concrete company I called for the price of the concrete recommended a reputable company and I paid less than 4k for the entire job and it was completed yesterday. read more

I only had a small job to start with with the expectation if they did a good job I would bring them back for more later. I was excited when they explained I needed 2 inches top soil, aeration, fertilizer, and over-seeding to fix my grass problem, and then gave me an excellent price. I was told to call the office to set appointment. First call - girl didn't know how to set appointment on their computer and said they would call me back when associate returned. I got no call back. Second call - same thing. I got no call back. Third call - she took a note to give to associate to schedule appointment for Aug 17. Day of appointment - was raining so was surprised no one called me to reschedule so I called them. Girl said there was no appointment scheduled and she would call me back. I got no call back. Aug. 18 I drive to their location to fix the problem, and as I arrived received call they were at my house. So I drove 45 minutes out of my way for nothing. They never told me they were coming on the 18th. I am not racist or prejudice, but I don't speak spanish. Not one person was able to communicate with me even though we tried. The results were: not 2 inches of top soil but about 1/4 inch. They even put top soil on an eroded hillside I did not want treated as it always just washes away. They put down very little fertilizer when I asked for heavy lime. They seeded fairly well, but I still now have to add more fertilizer and seed to be correct. The lack of customer support, scheduling, call backs, and communication ruined this project. I would never recommend this company to anyone. read more

Built a retaining wall with landscaping in addition to removing fallen leaves from entire yard. Workers were professional, hardworking and meticulous about detail. I highly recommend this company. read more

They are very accommodating. Our front lawn needs to be cut with a hand mower. Our grass and ground is very soft and a sit down mower makes deep ruts! They do a terrific job cutting, edging, & blowing the cut grass off the sidewalk and driveway. We've used Garcia for about 4 years now and hope they stay in business for many more years! read more

I signed up for their mowing service and the first time they were supposed to show up they never did. I waited a whole week and when I called to complain, the receptionist thought they had showed up. I assured her that they didn't and she put in another request. I then had to wait another whole week and when they finally did show up they did an ok job, not the best I've seen other companies do in our neighborhood. So first impression was a very bad one. The second time, a couple weeks later, I get another bill from them where they supposedly showed up again for the service. This was a straight up LIE!! They never did anything to my yard as it looked the exact same as it did before they supposedly showed up!! I'm not paying this company a dime for this. This is actually fraud!! Now I understand why this company has such a horrible rating. Well Mr. Garcia, in response to your response to my post. Your gps tracking device probably showed your crew at my neighbors house, right next door. His grass looks like it was cut. MINE DOES NOT!!! That's fine though because I'm not paying for it. I'm going elsewhere. read more

Mr. Garcia and his crew did our retaining wall, fence, and cut back a ton of trees for us. His team worked quickly but made sure they didn't cut corners. We are thrilled with our new yard and can finally have the kids play in the back safely. Mr. Garcia would come out and check on the progress throughout this job. We highly recommend! He was the best price by far and I got 7 quotes for all the work. read more

Garcia Lawn Fred was charging me $1500 for a 6' x 6' concrete patio! How they get any business is beyond me - I was ready to commit to a patio & lawn service. He wasn't interested unless I agreed to 3x the costs !!! read more

Garcia Landscaping installed a stamped concrete patio for us in June of 2022. After giving them half the cost of the job, I had to press them to give me a start date which kept changing. They did good work, but in the process they broke one of our water sprinkler pipes, which they repaired on the spot, but I found this troubling. They also stripped most of the paint off of the walls surrounding the new patio with a power washer. It looks horrendous against the new patio. They said they would repaint the walls, but after promising a date and time and even after Mrs. Garcia came by to inspect and see what needed to be done, nothing has been done. She said she would send someone out to take care of it. but In fact they don't even bother returning our calls. Disappointing. read more

Very cordial to work with and prompt to respond. We eventually got the work done by another company at half the price - of Garcia's 50% deposit amount. read more

Super disappointed!! I could go on and on... but just beware, that's all I can say! Get a VERY detailed estimate and ask for drawings of exactly what you talk about- I wish I had! When I said I wasn't happy with the work at all they said they would send someone out 3 different times and no one came- 2 of the days I had to work from home to meet them- and for nothing. When someone finally did come, he couldn't understand me that well and I couldn't understand him either.. and I had asked for a manager to come. We wasted about $6K. Never again!! read more

I have a 1/2 acre lot that needed care... I reached out to Garcia's and asked could they help me out,after a few emails they agreed to give me an estimate right away. Mr.Julio Garcia came to give me the estimate himself. He quoted me $2500 ‍ I immediately consulted with my wife and she looked at my like I was crazy but we needed it done. Mr. Garcia assured me this would be worth it. Sold me a dream of this beautiful landscape and I got basic lawn care with a side of Arrogant a$$hole. For $2500 he did a stone bed around my acre units, new mulch maybe 40 yards and the laid it over the old mulch, leaf removal in the backyard only and a cut... there was still debri leftover, a plastic bag and the clogged the drain at the front of the yard because they left the remaining leaves in it. I reached out to Garcia's and they called me back. Mr Garcia called and I requested that he come out and finish up some things that they forgot and I stressed that I was unhappy with the work. He proceeded to insinuate that I was poor because I was complaining about money vs his services and they tried to flex on me by telling me he just spent 40k on a new kitchen so my Lil $2500 was nothing. So I dug a little deeper and found out that most of his bad work was done to people of color. I have never been so disrespected in my own home. I have since reached out to several landscapers and they all have came in about $1000 cheaper... and I was not complaining about the money I just wanted the service I payed for... read more

This company has very unethical practices. I say this because I hired them to put my yard back together after our pool was installed. The guy came wrote a contract and indicate that he would do 12 LED lights around the retaining wall and charged for the many lights when only 10 was installed. We paid for top soil to be put down before the sod was installed and the top soil provided was not up to my expectations. I asked several times for an itemized statement so I could just exactly how much everything was going to cost that never materialized. I paid for river rocks that was full of dirt. This entire project was a total disaster. I wouldn't recommend this company to my worse enemy. The worker couldn't not communicate in English and that was a major problem. read more

Have tried to contact this company for service THREE times in the past year via their online "contact us" email and via phone. Have never received a return email nor phone call. Whatever. read more

They showed up two hours late estimator was disrespectful. I would not recommend this company

Garcia Landscaping has done an AMAZING job on our backyard!!! Their employees are amazing too!! We had a lot of work that took a couple months to get done because of extent of it. So we saw and spoke with several different employees and ALL of them were great! Elizabeth who was project manager is one hell of an employee. I can't even say enough great things about her!! Would definitely recommend them to anyone!! Thank you so much Garcia Landscaping for our amazing escape right out our back door! read more

I had used them for quite a while. Unfortunately they got to big and couldn't keep up. They wouldn't show up for 1/2 of the weekly services and when you would call the office you would get an earful of attitude! Lots of landscaping services looking for work. read more

I hired Garcia Landscaping to replace our culver pipe in April (to be completed the first week of June). They did not show or call. I called the office and they told me I was next on the list and would call me back that day; never heard from them. This happened three more time before I was given the direct number to Garcia. Called him on a Tuesday and said he would get it done on that Friday and would call me back to schedule a time. No call, no show, again. DONE!!! There is a reason they are the cheapest. read more

Garcia Landscaping cut down and ground 2 large trees (one tree was dead and the other was diseased). They also removed limbs from a third tree that were hanging too close to my house. They did an awesome job! They sent in the professionals, got the job done and cleaned up afterwards! It was a pleasure to work with them and I look forward to calling Garcia Landscaping in the near future to request landscaping services at another property. Garcia Landscaping is THE BEST and offers great pricing, too! read more

Asked for an estimate and they said they would come between 9am-12pm. Waited all morning and they never showed. Called and the guy said he could come later. He came a few days later and then told me he would email me a quote. After a day I asked for the quote and he kept on telling me he would send it and I never received one. Very unprofessional in all aspects. Stay away. read more

Was prompt, professional, and willing to work with you. Upon completion of services rendered, I was certainly satisfied! Will you them again. Dwayne M. read more

Hired Garcia for full culvert pipe and parking pad job. Negotiated a great price, and had daily communication with Garcia throughout the project. Highly satisfied with the end result. read more

Bottom line - 2 out of 5 stars. Not recommended. Hardscape work was excellent. Clean-up after the work was average. Lawn restoration after hardscape work and associated customer service was horrible. No BBB listing should have been a hint. I had three stone tiered beds installed and a large area filled with stone, pipe, and soil. The ground was wet, so the equipment really tore up the lawn near the house. The work was completed at the end of February. I asked the crew lead and the guy that did the estimate to level the lawn. I was told a couple of times that it would be done after the bed planting was completed. As I handed over the final payment, I asked again about leveling the lawn and was told that after the spring rains had settled everything a crew would come back in 6 weeks or so and level/roll the lawn. The spring rains have come and gone, the lawn did not self-level. The lawn looks hideous and is so uneven in spots I've turned my ankle a few times. My first request on May 7 resulted in a promise that a crew would be out that week. Nope. I asked on May 9 about the crew and received a response on May 11 of, "Have to check the schedule." My request on May 16 was met with, "Mr. Garcia will be out this week to see what needs done." I have yet to receive a response to my email on May 20 asking when I should expect Mr. Garcia. I guess I'll have to pay someone else to come in and level and reseed. If you choose to do business with this company, ensure EVERYTHING is in the contract, especially restoration of the existing lawn or other property they might touch as they work. Don't make that final payment until EVERYTHING is complete. Bottom line - I screwed up; I trusted them. read more

I left multiple voicemails with Garcia on a few jobs, never received a call back. I was surprised because I see them working in the neighborhood all the time. Maybe they have so much work they don't care? They did, however, respond to a neighbors calls about tree removal. They were very kind to unload their equipment for this job in my driveway while I was at work and left my driveway a mess and damaged the asphalt. Still no calls returned on this either. Go figure. read more

On a scale of 1 to 5, I give them a 2 - only because they do decent work when they finally show up. We would schedule service and they would be a no-show without even the courtesy of a call. It took multiple calls to get them to perform the service they supposedly agreed/committed to perform. Once they did show up, they did some pretty extensive yard cleanup and we were very happy with the job. We decided to give them a second chance and arranged for them to maintain our yard on a weekly basis. However, after the second week of them not showing up and not calling, we canceled the service. Very unreliable. read more

We contacted Mr. Garcia to renew our sidewalk and patio. My wife also had a desire to expand our patio. We had a drawn design, which Mr. Garcia used to develop a more beautiful renewal and addition. As we went through the process, Mr. Garcia and we were involved in the different stages of the development. A big job was accomplished in just two weeks! Friends of ours, who are planning a bigger addition to their house have seen this work and are planning to contract Garcia's. We are more than happy with the design and quality of their work. read more

Garcia landscaping does not show up on time, they do not communicate with you at all, and their prices are outrageous. The second time they were to cut our lawn, I had to repeatedly text to find out when they were coming. When it was time for the next cut, I refused to chase after them to see when they were coming. Well, they never showed up. I understand it has been challenging with all the rain, but all I need is a text or phone call letting me know that. They never communicated with me. I have since cancelled with Garcia Landscaping and found a local company who will mow our lawn for almost half per cut than Garcia Landscaping! Do not make the same mistake we did. read more

Love my stamp concrete patio. Thanks to all the guys who built my patio. They worked hard and complete the project on time.
