Javier and his crew were quite the contrast. Javier was up front about the work and pricing, his crew were efficient, hard working, and very easy to work with. They took the redesign of our back yard from concept to reality with grace and professionalism. Javier was open and transparent with us at every step of the project, and his crew finished ahead of schedule and under budget. We could not be happier with the results, and would hire Del Monte Landscaping without reservation in the future. Highly recommended.

We thought when we hired this company that we were spending extra money but it would be worth it to…read moreget the job done and get it done well. Boy were we wrong! From the very beginning, we had issues which is why we had to fire them. 1) The drawings that you pay 5K for aren't actual drawings-its just a picture! 2) The drawings showed two fences on the sides of the back yard, but the bid only included one...which they let us know once one fence was already installed. 3) A chainlink fence we installed only went 3/4 of the way across the yard because that is all that was included in the bid! Again, we learned that it was too short after the fact and that we were supposed to pay an upcharge to have it go all the way across. 4) The design they had for the BBQ doesn't work and we had to relocate it to another area. 5) Their partial billing system is beyond annoying and over the top. 6) They talked us out of the pool deck we really wanted and put in pavers that we hated. They kept telling us they would look different after they dried, after the were cleaned, etc. We ended up tearing them out. The problem is they only provided one paver instead of many as a sample. I thought I was clear about the look we were going for but they just didn't get it. 7) But our biggest gripe (and that's saying alot!) is they did a bio retention basin in our back yard and it has never passed inspection. They assured us that they would make that happen but never did. We now have to pay our GC additional money because Clearview does not appear to know how to make inspections happen. In fact, we have had to pay to have that basin inspected a ridiculous amount of times. We finally decided they were never gonna pass inspection which is why I am writing this review. I do not recommend this company if you have a substantial project or any permits involved. I say that from a calm, thoughtful, responsive energy where I want to look out for potential customers. They cost us a lot of needless time and money.... even suffering! They don't listen to clients and they are not accountable for anything they do or don't do. In fact, at one meeting the owner Chris told me to stop complaining about the price of the project because it was distracting and not helpful! These are not guys you want to work with. Don't be tempted by the marketing like we were.

Dave's Organic Gardening has been a wonderful experience for our family plus extended family!…read moreDave has taught us so much about plants and how to take care of them. All naturally, it has been a fantastic ride; our plants are doing great under Dave's excellent teaching. This morning I looked up at a tree that was trimmed under Dave's advice. I realized how gorgeous it had become, perfectly balanced and happy! I am learning and loving it; Dave is so strait forward so natural, with a big heart showing all over him. Creating a garden, fruit, veggies, flowers, succulents, whatever is your fancy, you need a wonderful soul like Dave to guide you and teach you the ropes and send you on the way the be a green thumb! Genuinely written with much gratitude.

If you want the review in a nutshell, here it is: Dave's Organic Gardening did more damage than…read morehelp for our yard. He charged double what he said he would. He would go for long periods without communicating and showing up. And when we asked for clarification on bills that listed visits when his team did not show up, or for work that was never completed, he got very nasty in his communication. To read more about our experience with Dave, please read on. We had high hopes for Dave's Organic Gardening. We hired him after doing extensive landscaping, and our previous gardeners were doing blowing and mowing, but very little active maintenance of the yard. We agreed to pay him double what we had previously been paying, and he promised that he would get the yard in great shape. He and his team began by replacing plants that weren't doing well, and he encouraged us to use his "tea" to get the plants going. Despite the agreement on $300/month for the maintenance, he began regularly charging us $600+/month. We initially thought that the high rates would go down as soon as the yard got in shape, but the huge invoices kept coming. To make matters worse, he wouldn't arrive at a regular time each week, which made it difficult to communicate with him on site. In fact, he would go weeks without showing up (as our lawn soon began to look like a meadow of weeds). One major element that needed help was irrigation, and he promised to get the irrigation of the front and back yard figured out. I gave him access to our irrigation system, yet he only worked on a small portion of the yard (neglecting the irrigation across the majority of the yard). Many plants died as a result. After months of neglect and infrequent visits (yet continued invoices that kept arriving), we canceled our relationship with him. Here is a quick list of the reasons we are so unhappy with Dave's Organic Gardening: 1. Some of the plantings that we paid for at the outset were never ordered and planted. 2. Many of the plants that we laid out to be planted in particular places were planted in the wrong place. As a result, some areas are crowded with plants, whereas other areas are empty. 3. A large percentage of the plants that were planted with the expensive compost tea died or are still struggling mightily. In fact, most of the plants that he installed are now dead. 4. We were charged for items in the invoices that were never completed. For example, we needed our vines trimmed, yet they were never done. Even so, his invoices listed these tasks as completed. 5. Irrigation on the yard was only partly completed, yet we were charged for all of it. 6. Regular maintenance was charged for but not provided (e.g., lawn was 2' tall), but invoices kept coming. 7. Dave encouraged us to mulch the garden, but the mulch job was super sloppy. When they installed, they just covered the yard with it, ignoring design elements like a pea gravel border. Worse yet, he charged a lot for the mulch, but we were removing trash and ceramic bits out of the mulch for months. 8. We had to re-do all the pea gravel landscaping that was buried under mulch. What makes all of this worse (the sloppy work, the dying plants, the exorbitant prices) is that when we asked him to elaborate upon the invoices, especially the ones that came in months late and included dates when he and his team weren't there (my wife and I were home working throughout the pandemic), he was--as others have said--really nasty. He starts out very nice, but he can quickly turn very unprofessional. Since we let Dave go, we hired another gardener, who charges a fraction of the rate, works very efficiently, and has helped our yard recover from the damage that Dave did.
