There were a few areas where I didn't want plants disturbed and they totally honored that. The price was very fair and I'm so glad I hired them for my job.

We hired Lee's General Landscaping to do a total yard cleanup + clear a bunch of plants and…read moreinvasive species from our perimeter, then add medium bark to suppress regrowth. Our assigned estimator Kimball came by for the initial walk through on July 3rd. We walked the property and I pointed out areas that we wanted cleared and bark added to suppress new growth. He left us with a video of him walking the property and shortly thereafter we had an estimate. My wife and I reviewed it, and wanted to see what it would cost to add landscaping fabric and rocks to some of the areas on the initial estimate. I responded to Kimball and he asked for a Google image of the home with the areas we wanted the work done marked. I then sent him the requested materials via a color coded aerial image. Kimball then asked to come out for a second look to make sure his measurements were correct. I was unable to accompany him for that walk, but he did do the checkup. We had a second open ended estimate shortly thereafter showing what the added rocks and fabric would run per square yard. We then decided on just doing bark (simplest install) - no landscaping fabric or rocks, but in all of the same areas marked on the aerial photo. To be doubly safe, I sent him a second aerial photo marking where we wanted the bark. Kimball's final estimate included a breakdown of what 4 yards, 6 yards, 8 yards or 10 yards bark would cost to procure and install. He told me that they would start at 6 yards with our property per his assessment, and if more were needed, they would request the additional amount day of the job. 7/25/26. The day of the job. Lee's arrived, I walked the grounds with the foreman and they got to work. Late in the day, I got a call from Kimball saying that the 6 cubic yards of bark he'd ordered wasn't enough to cover everything and that they needed another 2 cubic yards to the tune of several hundred dollars to complete all areas we wanted covered. I agreed to the up charge and Lee's crew completed the job. About 10 days went by, and our very nice looking yard started to sprout weeds all over the place. Naturally, I was expecting to see obvious weed growth here and there pop up, but this seemed like a lot. Regardless, I got to work pulling the weeds every 3-4 days or so, added some more bagged bark I purchased from Carpenitos here and there, and as I tackled each section of the yard on various days. Then, they exploded. By the 6th week, we were overrun and I couldn't keep up. I did some checking, and found that for successful weed suppression, you need at least 3-4 inches of bark coverage to prevent light from reaching the newly cleared topsoil. Lee's quote stated they they lay down "at least 2-3 inches" of bark - not the gold standard 3-4 inches, but fairly adequate. So, I got out there with a yardstick and started measuring. Low and behold, most of the front and back yard had as little as 1/2 an inch to 1.5 inches bark coverage. The areas I'd hit with bags as I weeded were barely pushing 2 inches, which means they too were initially VERY thin. I then photo'd the explosion of overgrowth and sent it to Lee's general email with a concerned message attached. Kimball replied to the message, but he refused to acknowledge any error had been made on his part or Lees in terms of the estimated coverage vs. completed work. Ultimately, he refused to remedy the situation without charging us thousands of dollars more. We went back and forth multiple times via email, and he would not budge - not even to cover labor only to rake back, and remove the overgrowth. He also refused to connect me to a senior manager or owner - eg: a 3rd party in the company whom could objectively review the situation, stating that he was a manager and partial owner and in charge of our estimate. We were charged over $3200.00 after tax for the job. It will likely cost us thousands of additional dollars to remedy the overgrowth resultant of Lee's error, and for which they refuse to acknowledge or accept responsibility. I'm personally kinda shocked considering their reputation and long standing place in the community. We used their services for lawn mowing and occasional yard work in Seattle many years ago without issue. My how times have changed.

We have new neighbors who we wanted to share the cost of the fence with, and we were getting bids that were astronomical, is the only word I can think of. At the suggestions of our neighbor, who did some work with Merino's for the other side of their yard, I reached out to them. Gerardo responded very quickly, got the pertinent details from my yard requirements, and showed up precisely when he said he would. They put together proposal, which was very competitive compared to the other ones, and I also had seen their work that was done on the other side of the yard. I was going to be out of town at the time, so I told him I needed it to be done before I left, or after I got back. He responded very quickly and said he could come out that afternoon and start the job. He showed up as promised, got the majority of the poles set that day, and his team came back the next day and knocked out 90% of the replacement and repaired fence. They showed up a day later for the final touches she clean up! Great job! I'm planning to bring him back to do some work on the front of my fence, which will be all on my bill. As far as splitting it with my neighbor, he did an excellent job of sending split invoices to both of us, no issues there! I would definitely recommend Gerardo and Merino's again.

Overview: I started by sending pictures and a description of the job I wanted done. Angel responded saying they could do the job and he could come by within the week to check out the area and provide a quote. Angel's quote was similar to the others I received, BUT he was bringing an excavator when others would have been working manually. That means he could get the work done quicker without cutting any corners! The Estimate: Angel gave me an estimate, we agreed he'd get the job, and we signed some paperwork to that effect. He told me they'd be able to start the first week of November, and that's exactly what happened! There was some delay because of weather, but Angel was excellent with communication and made sure I knew what was going on. He wouldn't want to start digging when it was wet and the base of the retaining wall wouldn't be stable. The Work: The team of 2 that did most of the work were great. We couldn't believe how much they got done the first day! Angel came by at least once every day of the project and made sure that the project was being built the way we had talked about. When something wasn't going to work, or there was a better way of doing something, Angel would stop progress and either explain why, or ask if I had a preference when there were options. The People: Angel is great. He is very personable and cares a lot about doing a great job. When he gives the estimate, he shows off recent jobs on his phone, and he beams with pride. He stopped progress once to ask me about an idea to build steps down the side of the retaining wall. We love it! We appreciate that he didn't just take the job and do it, but he thought creatively as the job progressed -- like an artist. His crew are professionals and did a fantastic job. The Money: Of course you want to know about the money. Every job will have its own considerations. If you try to get 5 companies for a quote, 2 won't respond, and 3 will show up to give you a quote. Rainier Rockeries will show and be competitive. Not only that, but Angel tried very hard to keep the price of the job at the estimate he gave me. He threw in some fill dirt, gave me a discount on extra blocks outside the scope of the job, and pulled out some tree stumps (which would have been way too hard without the excavator). He didn't change the price on me at all, even though it cut in to his profit on my job. He is happy to sign documentation when a payment is made. If you have any questions, feel free to message me on Yelp. TLDR: - They are straightforward, fair, and transparent - The work they do is excellent - They show up on time and on budget - Communication is excellent! (a rarity for contractors)
