In February, I verbally contracted with Lisa/BoD for "WEEKLY fine pruning and yard maintenance" on…read morea monthly basis, for an initial 'trial' period of the remainder of 2014. I was initially very frustrated by her seemingly slow pace of work, but I learned to accept it as my plants and yard took a new shape. Communication with Lisa was 'interesting' - if I was home when she was there it was not a problem, she was seemingly NOT reachable by phone, and email was replied to at HER convenience... I had an 'additional garden project' that I asked for Lisa's help/referral with, and while her referral (Raul) came out to bid the project (which I accepted), he never came to do the work...? Lisa advised me BY EMAIL a few weeks before she took two weeks vacation - during the MIDDLE of the summer (when I, my family and friends are more predominantly enjoying our yard) - and upon her return, I paid her for the weeks she had been present during the month. She was "extremely offended", stating that 1. She was "a Landscape Architect, not just a gardner!", 2. Comparing her employment with me, to my employment with my company, stating "don't you get two weeks paid vacation at your job?" - which is somewhat irrelevant because in my experience, contract employees performing manual labor get paid only when they are present to perform work, and 3. Giving me essentially "immediate 30 days services termination notice". We had some further cordial communication - me asking her to make sure she completed deadheading five crepe myrtles (which she understood/agreed to), and her re-stating her notice and final payment request (which I understood/agreed to). It's unfortunate and disappointing that Lisa/BoD did not uphold her end of our 'service termination agreement' - even having been paid in full, and receiving a cordial follow up/reminder email. From my experience - before engaging services with Lisa/BoD, I would suggest having a DETAILED WRITTEN contract, and I strongly suggest NOT TO AGREE to the 'auto-withdrawal-payment-system' that she had initially requested I participate in.

We hired Lisa in 2012 to redo our front yard. She came up with a very lovely design that…read moreincorporated low water plants, a fountain, and some large rocks. The yard went from an eyesore to being incredibly beautiful and inviting. We liked it so much that we just finished working with her to landscape the back yard. Lisa is incredibly easy to work with--she is very kind and very attentive to requests and ideas. She took all of our requests, wacky ideas, wants, and needs and turned them into something beautiful and enchanting, but also practical. My husband likes a more formal English-style garden, while I wanted something weird and a little wild that would attract birds and insects. She did a great job of balancing our two styles to create something that we both adore. She also recommended a great contractor and worked with him to make sure our garden came to life as we expected. Our back yard is now my favorite retreat and I have Lisa to thank for it. I highly recommend talking to her!

This company provided an amazing service for me. I had a small project which consisted of leveling…read moreand existing backyard area of 10 ft by 12 ft and pouring a 4-in level concrete pad so I can install a brand new Tuff shed. I had seen Tino's work previously as they had poured an extension to my parent's driveway and years now later it is still seamless. So without a doubt I knew that they would get the job done professionally on time and with no issues. And that's exactly what they delivered! As a small family business, they provide an extreme customer care focus to each of their clients, making sure that they go above and beyond. They even helped spread some of the existing landscape rocks that was in the area around the new concrete and then an area that I always wanted to fill up and that came out amazing as well! The Tuff shed installers were thoroughly impressed as well as they were thankful that the pad was level and they didn't have to do more work! Have any concrete work that is needed either at your business or at your home? Look no further as Tino and his family will get the job done and you will be very happy with the outcome!

I was hoping to write a great review for Patrick since things started off nicely. In the beginning,…read morehe was great to work with during the initial meeting and quoting stage. I had to follow up regarding the project start date, but that wasn't a big deal. Then things started to become difficult especially during the communication stages. For example, I sent him a picture of the kind of rocks I wanted but others were put in. I mentioned not pulling out any trees, but a palm tree was pulled out. He was kind enough to work with me on these issues so I still would have written a positive review, except for what came next. Before completing the project we discussed an additional project, not nearly as big as the first. He was very eager to get paid on the 1st project, so I paid him. We settled on the details of the additional project (price/material/start time), but I did not hear from him. I called and left messages several times, still no call back. I kept trying, he did answer once and confirmed a start date with me, but didn't show up nor call. So, I again called several times, left a message, but still no call back! Unfortunately, I do not recommend him to others based on my entire experience!

My backyard makeover has just been completed! I contacted…read moreApolo via Yelp and he was one of the fastest people to respond with the specific opening he had for me to choose. He came the same day and gave me a very reasonable estimate. I had another contractor that was scheduled for the following week, but I decided to go with Apolo. What I liked the most about Apollo are: 1. Clear communication: the complete scope of the work, project start time 2. Quality of work* I am happy with what I see with my new backyard. 3. Price: I had a few different estimates from different contractors. The range is not huge but there are differences. Apollo finished the project in three days (2 and half days). I recommend him for your landscaping projects and I will definitely contact him again for future projects I may need his service.

It seems like people either have a great or terrible experience with Apolo. Working with him was…read morevery stressful for me. For a job that would normally take 6 weeks, it ended up taking more than 6 months to finish. Not only did he not know how to do many aspects of the job, I had to constantly remind him of everything. He also tried to hide things from me or plainly lie to me. On the very first day of the job, he told me that there was a lot of traffic on US101 and he could not make it. Indeed, there was a bad accident there. Most people work a partial day when they hit bad traffic, but I said he can start the next day. On the second day of the job, he came to demolish my existing yard. I specifically told him to keep one tree at the center of my yard, and an hour later, his guys chopped it off. Rather than being upfront with me about it, *I* had to confront him about it. He apologized, and I said okay. I showed Apolo that I have a major gas line running through my yard and asked him to be VERY careful to not hit my gas line, and guess what, one of his guys specifically dug in that area and hit my gas line! *face palm* [1 star off] At this point, it was clear to me that he cannot keep a competent crew and the transient guys he hires do not care one bit about my yard, or their safety apparently. I talked to Apolo about my expectations if he were to continue to work for me, and he reassured me that he will improve. I told Apolo that the decking board we needed must be ordered right away because of COVID supply chain issues. He told me he did, but when I looked at his order date, it was not ordered until months later. At that point, the price also went up. (Hey, it's not my fault. If he ordered early like I told him, this would not have been a problem.) This oversight added several extra months to our project. [1 star off] When Apolo started building my deck, he looked confused. At first, he told me his decking guy quit so no one can work. I told him I will hire someone else, but he insisted on the job. After a few weeks, he hired someone from Craigslist. Okay, so build me a deck. It was still not built. I kept telling him I will hire someone else, but he kept on insisting he will do it (probably because he already paid for the higher priced decking boards). He actually then had to consult someone else about building the deck. After multiple re-sawing and re-anchoring, his crew pieced together something that resembled a deck. However, I noticed that the wrong edge pieces were used. I confronted him about it, and at first he said "I noticed that too" and then he said "Home Depot broke it when I picked it up, so I put another board there, but Home Depot said they will replace it." Which one is it -- that his guys installed the wrong pieces by mistake or Home Depot broke it when he picked it up? I looked at his replacement order, and it was a new order dated *after* I had confronted him, not a replacement order. [1 star off] Furthermore, Apolo was supposed to pave bluestone for me. The bluestones are manufactured square or rectangular in shape, but for some reason, his guys kept re-sawing them and I ended up with various tiny pieces...not the clean-cut pattern I instructed at all. He blamed the bluestones for not being perfect squares or rectangles. Regarding a new irrigation system, I made it very clear initially that my neighborhood has low water pressure, and he needs to design many more stations than normal. After he put in the irrigation system, he realized my water pressure was too low (I already said this at the very beginning!), and had to re-do some lines to add another station, charging me more money. [1 star off] Lastly, I told him I wanted certain fruit trees planted, one of which is an old-fashioned lemon tree. He plants me a sweet Meyer lemon tree with diseased leaves. I told him I wanted a healthy, regular, old-fashioned, tart Eureka lemon tree. He gave me a convoluted story about how a nursery in L.A. carries it, but there is a minimum order to ship it, and he has to pair it with some other order to make it worthwhile. After listening to that story, I went to a nursery 5 minutes from my house and bought an Eureka lemon tree and planted it myself. Toward the end of 6 months, there were still parts of the job that were unfinished, but Apolo was reluctant to return to finish things up. He even argued with me about how he did not want to pay for another lawn edge piece for $70 or a decking screw for $5. I paid him tens of thousands of dollars by the way. Anyway, I just did not want to work with him anymore. It was faster if I did things myself. I still gave him a generous final payment more than what I should have, because I wanted to part on amicable terms. This is not a 0-star review because the shrubs he planted at the back of my yard look quite nice. That is the only part of the job that went right.
