My partner reached out to Johnny's for an estimate on weed removal on a Tuesday, we have a small back and front yard. She received a quote and sent me the phone # to schedule since she was busy at work. I reached out, sent photos, and awaited a response. The person I was texting asked if we were looking for reoccurring service or the one time weed removal when I replied requesting just one time service I didn't hear back. I texted again requesting an estimate, no response. Texted again the next day on Wednesday and they finally requested my information. I sent my info, received an email to sign an estimate agreement and after signing and sending it right back I received no response. I texted back that we would be going with a different service who was able to schedule us in. I'm usually really patient but the lack of communication is what bothered me. They were quick to reach back out after sending initial photos but after I opted for a one time service instead of reoccurring services is when I stopped hearing back so quickly. No shade at all if a business doesn't want to offer their services or prefers bigger projects but I would have appreciated better transparency and communication. I'm sure others have had more positive experiences but for me personally I wouldn't recommend this business. I believe in treating every customer with the same respect and willingness to communicate regardless of project size. read more

I hired the company to care for our backyard. After I signed the contract, the owner, Duy Tran, sent me a text message saying they would do the first service visit a week later. They never showed up. I first texted Duy, no response. Then I called him and left a voicemail. He never called back. Now I'm looking for a different gardening company. Save yourself the time and trouble contacting Johnny's Landscape & Maintenance, they're unresponsive and unreliable. read more

Repair did not last and contractor walked away. Sprinklers kept coming on and contractor assumed no responsibility.

Fantastic service. Used them twice, first for large yard clearing and 2nd for front and side yard pavers and rock landscape. Will be using again when I'm ready for my retaining wall. read more

Good response. Competitive pricing and willing to come out and give a quote. I would recommend this company for future work.

Outstanding customer service! They will clean up all your debris from your yards. They are quick and very efficient. Well recommended!

We hired Johnny's Landscaping for a large landscaping project that included turf installation, irrigation, fencing, and cleanup. The overall experience had some positives, but also several frustrations that left me disappointed with the final outcome. Pros: * Communication was generally responsive, and I appreciated the use of videos to illustrate the plan of action. * They executed the relocation of our hot tub smoothly and without issues. Cons: * The biggest issue was turf discoloration along our fence line that appeared within weeks of installation. While the contractor acknowledged a potential cause, the resolution offered (replacement of a section that likely wouldn't match) did not address the customer satisfaction aspect of the problem. For the size of this investment, I expected more effort toward a satisfactory solution. * It took two months after the final walk-through to complete relatively small punch-list items. * An irrigation issue arose that could have been caught and fixed with a quick demo during the walk-through. * The landscaping "clean up" in the front and backyards consisted mainly of trimming bushes and spreading mulch. For the cost, I expected more attention to detail. I ultimately ended up demolishing both areas and plan to do a total hardscape/landscape redo. * The fence enclosure around the pool equipment was functional, but the paint/stain job was rushed (seams and edges left unfinished, uneven coverage, paint overrun), and the latch sticks. I plan to repaint myself. Overall, the project was completed, but the lack of attention to detail and unwillingness to address the turf issue in a way that ensured customer satisfaction overshadowed the positives. For a project of this scale and cost, I expected higher standards and more pride in the finish. read more

Johnny's team was awesome to work with. We needed a new irrigation valve for a newly planted tree and we received an in person quote, quickly scheduled the work, and the installation was fast, thorough and friendly. The price was as agreed in the quote which was very reasonable for the scope of the project. Thank you Duy, Patrick and Lee, look forward to working with you again. read more

We are thrilled with the landscape renovations we had done by Johnny's Landscaping! Our backyard really needed a refresh since we purchased our home and it's so exciting to see the whole area come back to life. Finally, we can actually be able to enjoy our space! His team was quick, efficient, polite, and communicative. I couldn't be happier with the results! read more

We are happy customers for 3 months . they are on time, do a great job and are efficient, diligent, and so helpful. read more

I reached out to Johnny's landscape and maintenance because our lawn was dying in the middle with green only around the perimeter. I expected to make an appointment and get the problem diagnosed and hopefully fixed. He responded to my image and diagnosed from that image alone what he thought the problem was! He didn't have to do that. He saved us some money and time, and I greatly appreciated it! Because of that type of honesty, if we find the problem was not fixed or had any other issues with our yard we would not hesitate to reach out to him again. Highly recommend! read more

I have a large backyard filled with various shrubs and bushes that were overgrown. After considering various companies, I decided that Johnny's was the most capable. Could not be happier. They came out and provided a comprehensive bid and scheduled the project. They showed up on time, took care of every item on the list, and cleaned up. Thank you Duy and family. read more

Johnny's landscaping and maintenance is phenomenal. We hired Johnny and his team to clean up our backyard. Johnny met with us and provided a timely and fair estimate for his services. We set a date and time for the project and Johnny and his team were respectful of our time and showed up on time. Their work far surpassed our expectations. We LOVE our backyard again. Will hire Johnny again and highly recommended him. read more

Failed to show for a scheduled routine appointment. There was no notification and no follow up. We found out about the failure to show due to our tenant complaining about the lawn. My wife contacted them to make up the appointment. They refused and threatened to drop us a customers, which we gladly accepted. Apparently they think a lawn can go 4 weeks without service in the summer. They are unreliable, unprofessional, and frankly rude. Edit: Could no reply to owner's rant so.... Unreliable - Did not show up. Did not contact us about the missed appoint before or after. Unprofessional - Read reply below. Also, did not make any attempt to make right the failure to show. Immediately responses by dropping their future commitment. Obviously books more work than they can actually support, which they admit to in the reply below. Rude - most rude people don't realize they are being rude. Like in the reply below. Second edit: This psycho has been repeatedly calling and texting my wife since this review was posted. Third edit: The nutjob that owns this busines just DM'ed threating to sue over this review. This guy has serious anger issues. read more

They were very fast to respond to my request and very professional! The crew that came out were quick and thorough. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a great job at a reasonable cost. read more

Amazing customer service from Johnny and his crew! I needed a last minute booking to get my yard under control and they fit me in right away. The workers were polite, professional, and efficient! I will definitely be booking again in the future read more

They are good! Did what we asked and went on their way. Cleanup was perfect. Value was perfect. Appreciate their services and especially online quote. read more

Bad attitude when he changed a desperately needed appt & my schedule didn't fit his. Said he didn't need the job. I hope his attitude loses more customers. I have an acre which creates bigger jobs than most but he sure lost my business. read more

Great landscaping job, covered all the planned items and even did some tidying beyond what I was expecting. Also handled large item haul away. Very professional experience. read more

After months of attempting to remodel the front yard on our own, we gave up and decided to hire professionals... and it turned out to be the best decision we've made! Duy and Johnny both came out to our house to get a feel for what we were looking for, giving insightful advice on plant types, design and general maintenance. We got several quotes for the work and choose Johnny's based on price, overall professionalism and ability to schedule our work in a timely fashion. They were very patient with us as we changed our mind a couple times before the installation. Duy in particular was easy to communicate with and was awesome at answering our many questions. Their crew fully demoed, leveled and installed new plant material, sod, mulch, bender board and boulders all in a single day. It was incredible to leave for work with an uneven dirt patch and come home to a gorgeous, fully remodeled front yard. We've had many neighbors stop by already with glowing reviews. We're overall very satisfied and would recommend them for any remodeling projects! read more

Johnny was very responsive and professional. He gave a bid from photos and came out and fixed everything we needed, and kept to original bid. We needed multiple irrigation valves replaced and leaking sprinkler repair. He fixed everything in a few hours and did a great job. We had someone else bid the job and they quoted us $2800 for the job Johnny charged us $800. Definitely would call him again! read more

I had four pretty large palms needing to be trimmed. Called Johnny and texted over a few pics and got a no hassle quote very quickly. I texted back to schedule a day & time and I was all set up. Johnny and crew showed up and knocked out the job! They are a highly professional and organized team. Call Johnny for your trees! read more

We love Johnny's Landscape & Maintenance! Our yard is mainly xeriscaping and artificial turf. During the rainy season the weeds grow thick and fast in and around the rocks and DG. Johnny's crew does a great job. They are professional and their prices are reasonable. Our yard looks great! read more

Very professional. The communication is excellent from email, text & yelp messages-answers promptly. The appointment was 8 am & 2 men showed up on time even it was raining. The work was squirmy clean & they were quick. Polite & courteous. Will hire again. read more

Johnny's Landscape & Maintenance - Front lawn that they mowed. - Landscaping Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Let me start by saying that I have used them for 3 years and have been satisfied. Recently I had asked that a lot of mulch be removed from my front yard. Johnny asked me to send photos of the job and once he reviewed he estimated $575. On the day the job was scheduled, I came home from work to see minimal work had been done. I texted him and his reply was to tell me that the work that was done was what he had bid on. I adamantly disagreed with his assessment from where ever he was. When I again stated that $575 worth of work had not been done, he again asked for pictures which I provided. A while after the photos he then texts me that there hadn't been enough room in the truck to remove all of our mulch. So, his first response was a lie. That is bad business in my eyes. The work was rescheduled for a week later. On that day, 2 workers came and spent the first 60-90 minutes chatting and looking at each other's phones...........not working. I didn't have a chance to really evaluate the work that was done until today (after I paid the $575). Long story short, they did approximately 60% of the work that I asked for and paid for. Now, evidently it's up to me as I have filled 4 large greenery recycle bins today and am looking at at least 3 more after these are emptied. When I texted Johnny the pictures of MY work he said that he had UNDER charged me for the work that was done as it turned out to be more than he estimated by photos. When I said that I was disappointed that I am left to do the heavy work that his company was paid to do. Nothing but excuses on his part and after the initial lie, I find myself in need of a different provider. read more

So frustrated with these guys. They were recommended by another landscaper, as I was hoping for a fairly large redesign of my front and back yards. Duy and I chatted on the phone two or three times, including me sending him a dozen photos and him offering some ideas. His dad came out and we talked about options. I verbally authorized up to $15k for the work. When i didn't hear back over weeks, I texted Duy and he apologized, saying they were busy. A few weeks later he texted and asked for my email address. Then they ghosted me. I texted a few times over the next two or three months, and Duy never responded. I would have been bummed, but would have understood, if they declined the work. Instead, I spent 4 or 5 months trying to work with them, only to be ignored. I would NEVER recommend them to anyone, based on this truly horrible customer service. read more

The mask was good, the work not so much. It started with a reasonable price and reasonable approach to fixing the system. It wound up with about triple the price. You'd think with that I'd have (1) a perfect system and (2) great follow up service. Duy is a nice guy and he did follow up for some but when questions kept coming up he just sort of fell off the planet. My check had cleared and I was on my own. My guess is there are plenty of "nice guys" out there doing irrigation systems; I'd use someone other than Duy & Johnny's. In fact, I will be, to finish up the job. read more

If i could give zero stars i would! An older man using a leaf blow ran up aggressively at my mother and screamed in her face, she was scared for her own safety. They soon terminated our contract which is ridiculous because it was the employee who was out of line and im pretty sure he wasn't even reprimanded for this event. I wouldn't hire them due to this man's aggressive actions and the managements unprofessional attitude toward the situation! I will be going deeper into this issue with the company and our attorney. read more

My yard was overran by weeds and gophers. I was looking for a local landscaper and got recommended Johnny's Landscape by word of mouth. Johnny's Landscape got back to me quickly for consultation and communicated clearly through the whole process. There are plenty of options and ideas to go with. They offer a couple different services. He listens to what you want but also gives honest professional recommendations. He is reasonable and fair. My yard was stressing me out before I found Johnny's Landscape. They work efficiently; the crew finished the yard in two days. Now, I'm excited when I look at my yard. I am very happy with the work they did. I love my yard, it's exactly what I needed. I love how it turned out. 2 of my neighbors asked about Johnny's Landscape contact info as soon as they were done working. I have them coming back in another month or so to do more work. read more

I have some major landscaping done by Johnny one year ago, including new grass (sod) in my front yard and my back yard. Initially, the lawns looked great, except in the backyard, the lawn on the right side started yellowing and dying. Johnny said "add more water to the brown spots". This has been an ongoing battle for 12 months with no resolve. In July 2022, discovered that the sprinklers on the right side were not covering all the grass, and the volume setting was very low. I adjusted them. During July, I had another landscaper install pavers in my back yard. Upon looking at the dying grass, he said there were not enough sprinklers, and the water volume was inadequate. I spoke to Johnny, and he blamed it on me fertilizing the lawns, and the hot summer weather. Neither is true since all of my lawns receive the same amount of watering, and we're fertilized at the same frequency. The pictures validate that my two other lawns are perfectly green. Johnny said wait for the cooler fall weather, and the grass should grow back". I will wait and see, but I believe that I will have to go to the expense of redoing the sprinkler system and adding new sod. read more

I left a voice message asking for an appointment to get an estimate on May 20, 2020 at 1:42 pm. Call has not yet been returned so I guess he already has enough business and doesn't want any new customers.

I have sent them a message to contact me to set an appointment for an estimate and will update further...THANKS! read more

Johnny and his crew made my side and backyard look wonderful. The work was completed in two days and I really love what they did. Old grass and weeds are gone, and decorative rock makes for a beautiful surface. Since it seems I live in a desert the yard now has a clean look that NEVER has to be mowed !!! read more

Johnny's Landscape & Maintenance - Side and backyard, grass and weed free. - Landscaping Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I have a new Property Management company which works with single family and multi-family property owners. Johnny's Landscape & Maintenance was recommended to be by a friend as I was looking for a good Landscaping contractor. Johnny's initially bid several projects I was helping clients oversee and their prices always came in more cost effective compared to other bids. Based on my knowledge and review of other landscaping projects they had done, the quality was there as well. Johnny's was selected by several of my clients and I have so say, they have done a phenomenal job! The crew is hard working, very efficient, there is ongoing communication and photos updating of the project status. They have the necessary equipment to get the job done efficiently and timely. Their costs are extremely fair (will modify plant selection, etc... to fit your budget if needed) while the quality is high. They will work with the client to understand their objections and will make recommendations based on the client goals, budget, etc... They are extremely responsive to any misc. needs and provide services ranging from regular maintenance (single family and multi family) to rehab projects for investors looking to improve the landscaping on their properties (including recommending drought tolerant options to save in maintenance costs). My overall experience (from the bidding process to executing the actual project) has been great and the clients I work with that have in turn selected Johnny's have also been very happy with the work. As a result, Johnny's has since become a "go to" for my company as I constantly work with owners that need landscaping services. At this time, Johnny's not only provides ongoing maintenance for some of my clients, but has also helped transform properties through major rehab projects. Highly recommend!
