I found Juan Gregorio and Active Lawn Care back in 2022. He has been taking care of my Lawn since…read moreand I couldnt be happier. I live in North Park and across from a school and it is just a busy area and I needed a lawn service. I am so happy with the service and how well he maintains the yard and the landscaping. He takes it upon himself to trim the boxwood plants that line the walkway when needed and fertilize the lawn as well and always lets me know when it should be done and explains why. I always agree. The lawn looks amazing. Juan comes every two weeks to cut the lawn, clean up the yard and mow the sidewalk strip grass as well. Plus, Juan is very friendly and always sends me a text the day before to let me know he will be there the next day. I highly recommend his service.

Would 100% recommend Murillo Landscaping to anyone!

Roy Murillo and his team did an amazing job. I designed our front and back yards and am floored at…read morehow they made it into reality! They helped to transform a so-so tract home front yard into something attractive and our pile of dirt back yard into something beautiful. Along the way, Roy was good at communicating with us and his team. His team are masters at their craft and take pride in their work. Their attention to detail with things we didn't even think of was appreciated - such as adding a small grade to the patio so water all flows into the drains they installed. When we miscommunicated or if something wasn't up to our extremely high standards (like we wanted one side of the firepit to be moved over 3/4"), Roy simply had his team fix it. The other big plus was Roy's willingness and ability to communicate with our pool contractor. I barely was involved. Both of them discussed plans and Roy listened to what our pool contractor needed for drainage around the pool and how tile should be placed around the pool cover well. I didn't have to worry about gas lines, drainage etc.. they figured out what needed to be done between them. Roy typically focuses on 1-2 jobs at a time, so there was momentum on our job. We saw many of our neighbors abandoned by their contractors half way, disappearing for a month or more, but Roy's team kept showing up, and got our job done quite quickly. When we had issues with our polymeric sand setting (something to do with our tile - Roy used the same polymeric sand and base at other sites and it worked), Roy and his team persisted in finding a solution. Even though everything was pretty much done, they tried several times to make things right. Finally, we found an Irish product on Amazon that did the trick. It's not a product typically sold in the US and is applied differently from regular polymeric sand. Roy made sure his team watched the videos and went over the instructions with them so the product was applied correctly. We are so happy he helped us find a solution (and we learned a lesson - sometimes it's better to stay away from super cheap, need to clear the store room, product)! In summary, working with Roy Murillo and his crew was a great experience. His pricing is reasonable (I compared several landscapers), and he and his crew truly know what they are doing. I have recommended them to family and neighbors and would work with them again in a heartbeat.

They use eco friendly lawn mowing products (battery powered) as well - real quiet which is most ideal for my really quiet neighborhood in Crown Point. Matt was also kind enough to help me with a completely unrelated issue while at my pad (needed to adjust the size of a window screen) Overall, immensely satisfied with the quality and professionalism of their work and always look forward to running into them!

DO NOT USE Chris Bargain Lawn Care! During the week of 7/7, he mismanaged all aspects of our…read morelandscaping project, leading us to lose over $5,000 due to improper application of synthetic turf, failure to remove old turf and decomposed granite from our yard, putting a nail through our sprinkler line, and placing sticky sand all over our pavers requiring additional cleanup. Chris was informed about the removal of turf, roots, and DG four days prior to completion, but did not respond. I had over 100 text and phone calls with his subcontractor - Boots Construction, who was rarely present and did not address the issues. One time, he left to give a quote for another job instead of staying at our house. Chris guaranteed Boots would always be on site. I spent over 25 hours supervising and fixing problems with the entire project. Chris assured me of Boots' expertise, which proved false. Despite receiving payments, Boots has not paid his crew. Chris was sent numerous pictures and text, but did not resolve any of these problems. In fact, he stated he would be unable to provide any assistance or reimbursement of any kind.... Not even a penny. * Paver problems: Boots didn't take the right samples or measurements, so the pavers were mismatched and cut poorly. The sand was applied badly, and they didn't install root barriers as promised. * Fire pit and walkway issues: The fire pit area was uneven and needed to be redone. * Mulch mess: The crew piled mulch against the plants, even though they were told not to. We had to redo all the mulch installations around 150 plants. * Crew's behavior: The crew left trash all over our yard, including pizza boxes and water bottles we purchased for lunch. Chris stated on the 6th day our yard would be left in a pristine state and the opposite happened. They even left loose razor blades that were a hazard to our dogs! * Turf troubles: Turf and DG were removed with no disposal plan, leaving our gate unusable and driveway blocked until we paid 1-800-Got-Junk for removal. Chris did not respond when contacted. The turf showed visible nail spots, uneven seams, improper cuts, and house flashing and two sprinkler lines were damaged requiring another contractor for repairs. Boots used only a third of the specified infill amount. * Root removal problems: The roots weren't removed to the agreed depth, which could cause future issues. We had to buy materials to finish the root barrier installation. * Contract and payment concerns: Chris required a 25% upfront payment on 7/2, exceeding California's legal 10% downpayment limit, citing the need for pre-July 4th material purchases. However, receipts show no materials were bought until 7/11. Chris mismanaged the job and failed to respond to calls on Thursday and Friday. Despite our contract with him, he took no direct responsibility and communicated only about payments from Monday to Saturday. The subcontractor did not handle the turf professionally, contrary to Chris's assurances. Both Chris and Boots Construction are not licensed contractors according to the California State License Board. I would give a negative star rating if possible.
