When Carlos come to the house, he had several suggestions for us regarding making our yard better. The back yard was over run by MOSS, so we had all of the backyard dug out and new top soil was brought in and then hydro seeded. We also had all the front yard dug out and replaced with new top soil and sod. Carlos was very professional and very helpful with giving us care instructions in regards to how to maintain the transformation of our yards. We would recommend 5 Star Landscaping to anyone who has a landscaping project in mind. Worsings

They were going door to door back when I first bought my home in Edmonds (near the Home Depot &…read moreCostco) claiming "we used to do the work for the previous owners and we'll do a great job for you blah blah bah". They were friendly, but looked either (a) just old and tired or (b) like meth heads... but against my better judgment, the amount of work they claimed they would do for a pretty good price was hard to say "no" to. Well, to summarize - they actually did a pretty decent job... on the things they finished. But the problems were a long, long list: - incredibly slow to essentially do a "one time job" on tree, shrub, and lawn cleanup. Took close to two weeks for something that should have been 1-2 days at most for professionals (as I've since learned). - They would frequently show up late, work for a few hours, and leave. In-between, they would often sit in their truck for a long, long time, I can only imagine it involved using... things... they shoulldn't. - I would find weird things in my trash can, like tubs of ice cream in the middle of the day, probably because they were missing so many teeth from (well, just guess). - They left their tools scattered about each day. - They asked for an advance because (insert ridiculous story here) was happening. - One of the larger, key things we agreed (for $500) was to prune back my apple tree, which they never did. They ended up saying we shouldn't do it in the summer and should wait a month or so for fall when they'd come back (of course, never heard from them again).

Alonso and his crew rebuilt a 50-foot retaining wall, approximately 6 feet high, along my hillside…read moredriveway. I initially expected the wall to be constructed using traditional materials such as concrete blocks or stone, but Alonso suggested using gabion cages instead. This proved to be an excellent and environmentally friendly solution that allows for improved drainage and even supports plant growth within the wall itself. Additionally, Alonso's bid was by far the most reasonable among the contractors I consulted. Throughout the project, the crew was respectful of the existing vegetation and made every effort to minimize disruptions to our daily routine. Alonso and his team were professional, considerate, and a pleasure to work with. I give them my highest recommendation.

They were efficient and hard-working, quick in providing estimates, scheduling, and responding to our questions, easy to communicate with, and provided us with good ideas and input to help us make decisions. We were impressed by their integrity and the pride they take in their work, and were thankful that they quickly corrected anything we weren't fully satisfied with along the way. We are very happy with our yard transformation and will be using their services for future projects that may come along.

Many times they'd come, mow and blow in about 10 minutes and leave (even though it was a large property).

They STILL kept coming and we had to tell them to leave. Kept sending bills even though we've already paid; emailed to try to resolve the issue and show proof of payment but no response at all.

We have entrusted JJ's Landscaping and Irrigation to complete two large projects, and each time the…read moreresults have exceeded our expectations. The first project involved installing a new sprinkler system, 6,000sq of sod, and planting hedges -- all were completed with great care and efficiency. Recently, JJ and his team returned to tackle a much larger job spanning across two+ acres, which included clearing dense blackberry brush and an old hay field, re-grading the driveway, laying bark, building a new flower bed, trimming trees and shrubs, and refreshing the flower beds around our home. The transformation was incredible! JJ's quotes are very fair and reasonable especially considering the scope and detail of the work required. He honors his original estimates and goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding results, even when the job takes more time than expected. We're extremely satisfied with JJ and his crew and will continue working with them for future landscaping and irrigation needs. Highly recommended.

I'm pleased to write this positive review for Hard Ground Excavation, LLC. Miguel (425) 622-0858…read moreand his team provided exceptional service going above and beyond in helping to repair a water line leak that occurred between the water main and house. As most people know when you have this type of leak it is the homeowner's responsibility to repair. This can be a tricky and expensive repair as you must locate the water line and excavate 2-3 feet down to repair. After not getting timely or consistent responses from the plumbers I contacted, it dawned on me that this is really a Utility service repair. Working in my neighborhood was a crew installing new utilities. They had trenches open pipes in etc. it was obvious that they had the skills and expertise to do the job. I made contact with the owner Miguel, he came over assessed the problem and agreed to help. As with most projects things didn't go exactly as planned, we found surprises underground there was no way to know about ahead of time. Miguel devised quick economical solutions and was able to overcome the unexpected obstacles with ease. The team at Hard Ground operated with a high degree of safety and experience as they navigated other underground utilities using a combination of equipment and hand digging. They completed the repair filled the trenches and had all the tools to compact the ground to original specs and even gave me a temporary asphalt patch. I highly recommend them for any type of ground work a home or business owner may have. We plan to have them back out for a planned improvement project.

He was tidy, clean (language and demeanor, brought his own tools and cleaned up after himself), and no-smoking.
