Great value for the service performed - did a great job! Cleaned all weeds, trimed shrubs and rose bushes. Hired as bi-monthly maintenace service provider read more

Jose and crew have taken care of our landscape in Forest Hill SF for two decades. Outstanding gardening service! What more can I say.

Jose and his crew have transformed my SF front and backyard into living spaces full of beauty and joy once again. I let it go as I got older and now enjoy it as much as ever thanks to Jose's expertise. A yard is so much more enjoyable now that I dont have to worry about keeping it clean and trimmed. Always on time, he and his friendly help are a pleasure to see every month. If you are thinking of getting yourself the luxury of a beautiful living space again, give Jose a nod. read more

This review is long overdue. I called Jorge in April 2016, looking for someone to do a one-time job to clean up the yard. He came out, took a look, and provided with me a fair estimate. Jorge asked me questions I didn't know answers to - mostly because they were questions to things I had never thought of. Once we established how clueless I was, he spent a little more time explaining and walking me through some of the basic things I'd need to know. Jorge was very courteous and polite. On the day of, he and his staff arrived on schedule and everything went well without a hitch. Thanks a lot for your work! read more

Jorge is very reliable -- shows up every week at the same time. He's thorough, but efficient, and goes above and beyond to help make my yard the best it can be. He's very easy to communicate with and responds quickly to text. He was so helpful when I wanted to plant container gardens and has so much knowledge. I completely trust Jorge and feel confident my yard is well taken care of. read more

My yards was getting out of control, and I needed them cleaned. However who I normally go to was unavailable, and when to yelp I found J. I spoke with J, and told him the situation. J said he would come down and take a look at my yards. He showed up the next day, surveyed my yards and gave me a quote that was reasonable. I am very pleased with the work he did. read more

We have been using Jorge's company for over a year now. They do a very good job of maintaining the lawn and keeping the leaves to a minimum (ie, mow and blow). Ordinarily that would justify 4 star rating, but I consider them to be 5 star because of their pricing policies. Every other company I have either used or gotten an estimate from charged/would charge almost double what Jorge charges for his work. I am not the kind of person who just wants to pay the lowest price for a service. I can live with almost any price as long as it is reasonable and makes sense. Many gardeners are part of a larger landscaping business, so you get charged more commercial level prices. But Jorge and his crew look at each customer individually and price according to what it takes to get the job done (and make a fair profit, of course!). For this reason I believe 5 stars are more than justified. If that wasn't enough, Jorge sometimes leaves me notes that call attention to various problems with the yard, like the weeds are out of control (we have separate weed control company handling that), or the watering needs to be adjusted, etc. He is very diligent and conscientious about how he does the job. After living in our house for almost 15 years, and using a total of 5 different gardening companies over the years, I rate J. Lopez Gardening as the best we have had. read more

Brian is a miracle worker!.. .and probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Polite, prompt, neat, communicative, shows concerns for pets, carefully asked me what I wanted and what I didn't want, and did what he promised in record time for a reasonable amount. What more could you ask for? I had overgrown weed, leaves, WEEDS, overgrown pots, did I mention WEEDS...lol...It was a complete MESS. I wish I had taken a before picture, AND I had a very tight deadline. Brian came by after a long day of work, gave me a reasonable quote, and promised to get it done before my deadline. He came back the next day and turned my mess into gorgeousness in very little time. He hauled everything out of here and I couldn't be happier! He said, "Now you can relax and have a good weekend without worrying and you can garden when you feel like it." NICE! :) THANK YOU Brian for a job well done! You can be sure if I need you again, I WILL call you! I'm so grateful my old gardener didn't return my calls and that I found you! read more

J Lopez Gardening does an excellent job maintaining our front and back yards. Super dependable, thorough, and if you have any requests, they are happy to listen and accommodate your needs. Pricing is fair and payments are a snap (online) which is super convenient! read more

I have been searching for Gardeners for one of my clients. I find them, I give them the address of the property, once they know the area the price goes to the roof :( Finally I looked on yelp and saw the reviews for Jorge and I said he sounds like someone you can count on and trust! And sure enough. Jorge was AMAZING!!! He went above and beyond expectations to help me out! Jorge is rare in today's world! Way to go Jorge!!! I am speechless when it comes for words to describe how excellent he is! I highly recommend him!!! ~Mimi read more

Jorge took care of my garden every Friday. He always did a great job and his prices are competitive. Very responsive to any communication - I just had to reach out and ask if I needed anything extra done and he always took care of any requests I had. Always pleasant and friendly too . Highly recommend ! read more

Worst service ever! Jorge was so unprofessional and non curtious. He was supposed to trim a bush and man o man he just butchered it and left all the dry leaves. This was one time service and I will never ever use this company again! * P. S why can't these guys be nice and kind. read more

I've been using Jorge for my front and back yard maintenance. The lawns look better than they ever have. He's even offered to pull dead plants and has given me advice on what might work in the yard. He's been nothing but professional and easy to work with. Most of Jorge's reviews are good, but everyone gets a few bad ones. After reading these, I can't understand the 1 star reviews. These people must be either really difficult, unhappy folks or they reviewed the wrong Yelp account. read more

George does an excellent job of taking care of our yard. His rates are very reasonable. He takes the initiative to do whatever is needed (like fertilizing, lawn aerating) to keep the yard looking great. In addition, he will trim trees, hedges, repair/extend sprinkler systems, etc. upon request. We've made use of his extensive network of contacts when other projects have come up comes (electrician, tree trimming, etc.). George is reliable, professional, and is good about communicating any issues that come up. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a gardener. read more

I hired Jorge last spring to care for my yard weekly; after 4 months I let him go. For the most part he did a good job. The lawn was mowed, most of the debris was blown. He fertilized the lawn at least once. He "sprayed" the weeds and moss. He did a couple of extra things I asked for: removed a medium sized bush and trimmed the hydrangeas. He was easy to communicate with over text message and/or phone. The first sign this was not going to work was Memorial Day. I asked what day he would come instead, since he routinely came to my house on Mondays. He said he wouldn't. He took holidays off, so my house would be skipped. I was not aware of this policy. Accepting Monday was hard enough, as my yard always looked its worst on the weekend, but finding out he was blowing me off all together on Monday holidays was disappointing to say the least. He was adamant that he told me about this. I am equally adamant he did NOT. He offered that I could pay weekly instead. I prefer to avoid excessive mathematics and just send one check per month, so I declined. I have two dogs who are trained to do their business along a side fence. The area needs to be blown/raked, but Jorge complained that he could not work where there was excrement from the dogs because he has many day care contracts, and if he tracks fecal material from dogs there and a child becomes ill, he is liable. He gave me a "warning" about this and said he'd rather lose one house than all his day care contracts. This was yet another of his "policies" about which I was unaware, yet he insisted he told me. (Warned me?) I generally clean up the area every other day or so. I try to make sure the poop is picked up the day before my gardener comes as a courtesy; every other gardener I've had in 20 years has just dealt with it if it wasn't pristine. Not Jorge. He just ignored the area all together. I wondered what would happen when that area was full of fallen leaves (and hidden dog poo)... He butchered my hydrangeas with an electric trimmer and they look HORRIBLE. I falsely assumed when the flowers were spent, they'd be trimmed. Again - 20 years of gardners have done so. I had to ask him more than once. Couldn't he see they looked awful? If I had time to do yard work, I wouldn't hire someone to come weekly and care for my yard. The truth is Jorge didn't seem to care at all! He was in and out of here as fast as he possibly could be, and he wanted extra money (30% more) during the fall when the leaves would be heavy. Jorge should provide a contract which outlines his "policies," so that customers are not blind-sided by them. Each time I indicated I was not informed of a policy, a better response would have been to apologize rather than just insist that I was mistaken. He might be entitled to his uncaring and disrespectful attitude had he provided a written contract detailing all his policies at the start. When I sent him a message stating I wished to discontinue his service, all he had to say was, "No worries." If he cared about having my business, his response would have been much different. read more

I was not planning to write a review but then I saw Jorge's inaccurate reply to the review left by my wife (Doune r). Jorge makes a number of claims which are false in his reply. He mentioned that the irrigation pipe was broken previously. He broke it during the work (taking out shrubs) and he offered to fix it next time he comes. That of course did not happen. He also did agree to haul away the excess trash when he gave us a quote. We being naive did not get that in writing and he flat out refused once the time came. The plants he took out we're rotting in summer heat for 4 weeks in two big piles in our backyard. Jorge was not professional in his interactions with us. We did not nickel and dime him and paid him his asking quote. However he simply did not deliver on his end of the deal. read more

I used George's service for about 3 months. The first month, he did a good job of trimming some of the bushes and mow the lawn. So we just let him do his work without question. One day, we saw our yard's bushes were all messy, stuff grows out of control, so we expected George to trim them on his next visit. However, in the next few visits, he didn't trim anything, all he did was mowing the lawn and blow leaf (when there is barely any leaf to blow since it was summertime). Sometimes, i timed him to see how long he worked on our yard and he only spent 15 mins at my front and back yard. He came to my house 4 times a month and all he did was mowing the lawn, even though we make an agreement on maintaining my front and back yard which including take care of flowers, bushes, etc. In addition, He didn't show up to do the work if your house is scheduled the same date as the holiday and he wouldn't make up for that not showing up day. I hired a different gardener and he said the previous person really did a bare minimum job on this landscape. My new gardener couldn't believe someone was maintaining our landscape 4 times a month because it looks like they only took care of it once a month. After seeing what the real gardener can do for our yard, George is just a mowing lawn guy, not a professional gardener. read more

Terrible service quality and very unreliable. I talked to Jorge back in November about doing some work on early April. When I called him in April he said he hadn't planned for it, but eventually he managed to make time for it. He was supposed to remove few plants, haul away the trash, and plant new trees. He came, removed the plants, broke a bunch of irrigation and stopped there saying he had to leave. He didn't haul away the trash as he said he would. He said he would come by the following week with his pick up truck to finish cleaning up. I trusted him and paid him. He came back, filled up my trash can, but left the remaining trash in my backyard instead of hauling it away as agreed. Overall he had a terrible attitude. He was unreliable and never stood by his schedule. He didn't allocate enough time to finish the job. He broke a bunch of irrigation that he didn't fix. I strongly would discourage hiring him, you're wasting your time and energy. read more

George is great! He keeps our garden looking neat and our house is the best kept garden on the block. We are very pleased with his work and happy we found him. His prices are very reasonable and he is reliable. He comes every week as he promises. There are other gardeners that tell you they will come and then they don't, but George is honest and comes around the same time on the same day each week! He helps us trim our hedge, blow away all the leaves that cover our entire front yard and keeps our little plants looking cute and neat and helps mow the lawn. I also like how you can make payments electronically and you get a proper bill electronically. He is very professional, responsible, dependable, and he does great work! Thank you George and your team for keeping our home looking top notch! read more

I just switched from ezhome to J. Lopez Gardening. Jorge is not only a delight to work with, but he's very knowledgeable. My lawn, weeds, bushes, etc. look much better. I look forward to the spring when it will really flourish. What a difference he makes! read more

Jesus and his family are great to work with. They keep our front yard beautiful with a maintenance visit every other week. Thanks Jesus and Jose! read more

I was really excited to find a new service to work with after my gardener of ten years retired. I was even more excited to find a small family owned business because I like supporting family owned businesses in general, and the service tends to be more friendly and positive. What a disappointment this was. I see all these positive reviews on J Lopez Gardening service, but my experience was less than positive. From the get go, there was little to know enthusiasm about taking my job. I thought perhaps that was because it was so far north and a long drive, but I was told that they worked in my area on Tuesdays. I was quoted a very reasonable monthly amount, and was fine with the retainer approach that was told to me. Honestly I would have paid more. I needed a clean up to get my yard in shape since it had been about 5 weeks since my former gardener had been out. I was fine to pay more, but Jorge seemed to act like I was being cheap or would have issues with it. He often approached the conversations from a no posture...no we can't do this. The final straw for me was a nasty voicemail left for me telling me I should have called him to let him know I had fence work going on and that I should know that he could not work near other workers even if he had room, due to hazards and such. I did not know my fence people would be there so there was no way for me to call in advance, and he seemed to work around the fence work the week prior, so I was pretty bothered by that message. Overall this group did not want to do work with me and it was clear. I have never had any service group work with me like this. I am super reasonable, flexible, and positive. I was fine with the rates and all the things that were told to me that were "no." But at some point it would have been nice to see that they cared about having my business. Clearly they did not. read more

We called Jesus' son George for a quote one evening and Jesus came to give us a quote the next day. It only took a minute or two since we just needed a cleanup and maintenance of our weeds, lawn, and leaves (lots of leaves). He gave a reasonable quote and made arrangements to come the next day to get started and worked with us to schedule the weekly maintenance on a day that worked for us and him. He does a great job on the yard I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the area. read more

Jorge removed seven bushes from our front yard and two from our back yard after we purchased a home in West San Jose. He was extremely easy to communicate with, very competitively priced and most importantly did excellent work. My wife and I were very pleased that he was available within just a couple of days of our inquiry and did everything on time as promised. If you're looking for someone to do some gardening work I highly recommend that you contact Jorge first. read more

We have been with Lopez gardening for about 4 years. Jorge services our house twice a month. Grass looks great front and back. Don't have to worry about sprinklers. Jorge does all that. Recently, he trimmed some of our trees. They look great. Cannot beat the price. read more

Jorge has been our gardener for almost a year and we are really happy with his work. He does a great job, is dependable, and very neat with the clean up. His prices are also affordable. I highly recommend him! read more

Jorge is terrific! His quote was very reasonable for the work needed to clean up my very overgrown yard. In addition, he had great ideas to update the landscaping that looked great, used minimal water and cost efficient. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend him. read more

Like most other reviewers here, my front yard seemed to explode with unwanted growth. Jorge came over to give us a quote for the garden work. He was knowledgeable and made recommendations/advice and explained things to me. He even tried to accommodate my request to have the work completed sooner rather than later. However, due to my own issues, I could not use Jorge's services. read more

"We have been using gardening services from Jorge and his father for more than 8-10 years and really appreciate their great service. They proactively alert me or just replace broken sprinkler heads, and trouble-shoot irrigation problems, and we use them three times a year to aerate our front and backyard lawns." read more

George was here as scheduled and did a great job. He's efficient and polite. I highly recommend J, Lopez Gardening.

I've been using Jesus' and Jorge's gardening service for at least 15 years. They do great work at reasonable prices and are super reliable. Jesus, Jorge, and sometimes mom arrive with a smile on their faces every week ...... something my neighbors are a little jealous about. Whenever I need something a little usual done or need to make an adjustment in their routine, it always happens quickly. If you're looking to make a change, call these guys first!

Thank you for getting our junipers cleaned up even in the cold rain, we really appreciate it!!

I needed a yard cleanup. Jorge was not available for my requested date range, but his dad was. His dad gave me a fair quote, and arrived for the job on the agreed-upon day and time. He did an excellent job on the yard cleanup. I am very pleased! read more

While, at first I was impressed with their initial quick response and coming to do a quote, the landscaper said he would have to get back to me on fitting me in or scheduling an visit later. My yards are neglected and need some serious work, so I was ok with scheduling something a little further out. However, that was the last I heard from them. read more

I actually met Jorge about 4-1/2 years ago when I had sold him a pick up truck. I mentioned to him that we currently have a gardener that takes care of the gardening on the ground level. We have several trees on the property and five of them were growing over the house. I was very concerned about the branches breaking and causing roof damage. My biggest concern was having someone who was knowledgeable, experienced, and was not going to do any structural damage. Since we just had metal gutters put on all around the home we did not want any gutter or roof damage. He gave us a bid, which was very reasonable. Jorge did a great job, with no damage and in a timely manner. Jorge is now our full time gardener. He has been getting the property in shape and offers suggestions on ways for us to save on water by suggesting new sprinkler heads, and installing new valves. Jorge has a proactive approach. It is really refreshing to have someone (business) who cares more for their customers needs than their wallet. He definitely is knowledgeable, dependable, and passionate in everything he does. We are very glad to have Jorge in our corner. Thank you, LeeAnn B. read more

I cannot say enough about how wonderful it has been working with Jorge. From the first moment I contacted him to get a quote he has been professional, responsive and our yard has never looked better. We had spent a lot of time (and money) redoing our backyard. After the work was completed we were looking for a new gardener who could give it the attention it needed. Jorge came out to meet with us on a Sunday, gave us a lower quote than we had been paying previously and the yard has never looked better. We have three dogs and you would never know it - our grass looks green, healthy and everything just looks incredibly lush. He's remained responsive, answers questions in a timely manner and he is very proactive about letting us know what he's done and any problems we are having. I highly recommend Jorge! read more

65% response rate on quotes as per information on Yelp. I sent an email request for a quote and received a response back the next day asking for cross streets. I sent the information along with my address and never heard from them again and it has been two weeks. I went with someone my neighbor recommended. No stars would be more appropriate since initial contact was acknowledged and then NOTHING. read more

I have used the service from Lopez more than 10+ years and my neighbor also used them for many years. Jorge is very easily communicated and always dependable. His charge is very reasonable and affordable. I will not hesitate to recommend him to my neighbor or friends. read more
