Unreliable and Overpriced - Avoid Mariano's Landscape…read more I hired Mariano's Landscape (based in Moreno Valley) in December 2024 to landscape my backyard. From the start, the experience has been frustrating and disappointing. Their services are expensive, and I expected quality work. Unfortunately, that's not what I received. The owner, Gabriel Mariano, planted diseased trees and assured me they would recover in warmer weather or be replaced. Months later--after numerous phone calls and site visits--nothing has been done. Communication has been all talk, with no follow-through. The concrete patio was another major issue. It was poured with a weak sand-and-cement mix that lacked any gravel or aggregate. I raised concerns, and they promised a quality control inspection would visit the job-site. No one ever came and Gabriel could not provide the name or license number of the concrete subcontractor they used. Bottom line: once they're paid, they disappear. They don't stand behind their work or resolve problems. I do not recommend Mariano's Landscape. The pictures speak for themselves.

Patrick fixed a water erosion issue I had, put some artificial turf, cleaned up the hill in my backyard from the weeds and planted ground cover, and helped fix some issues with my sprinkler system. All this in a fast and timely manner. Kudos to Patrick and his team. Looking forward to see what he can do to our front yard.

I was referred to Patrick by SoCal Mulch, and from our first phone call I knew I'd finally found a…read morereliable landscaping source. He showed up exactly when he said he would, was incredibly patient with all my questions, and did a beautiful job installing pea gravel and mulch on my property. Here's the real test of a great company, though. After the install was done, I realized I'd chosen the wrong mulch color. Totally my mistake. I had to call Patrick back and ask him to replace material his crew had already installed. Not only did he come back with the same great attitude, he never once made me feel bad about the mix-up. Service with a smile, twice. Patrick and his partner Eduardo are exactly the kind of people you hope to find: nice, hardworking guys who genuinely care about making their customers happy. I have more projects coming up and I won't be calling anyone else. I highly recommend.

Ray's came through once again and made all the necessary repairs and replacements. As I have stated, I have used Ray's in the past several times due to their strong work ethic and compatible prices. They never disappoint and continue to do outstanding work. I highly recommend Ray Tree Services.

I live with my sister in her home and heard the altercation. I also own a business, and I was…read moreshocked at what I was hearing. How could a business owner say these things to customers over a misunderstanding? He had no empathy, compassion, or understanding at all regarding what happened. My sister came into my room asking for advice because she was confused, asking if it was normal for a worker to quote a different price even though the owner quoted a higher price. I told her that if that was the case, maybe they were individual workers working with him. She then let the man start working. About thirty minutes later, maybe more, Matthew's worker came. He was also late, which is important to note. My kind sister said, "Let me call Matthew, I'm sure he'll understand." That man showed absolutely no understanding whatsoever. In the business world, you start to recognize who genuinely cares about helping people and who only cares about money. From what I witnessed, Matthew came across as money hungry. He leads his workers not by working alongside them, but by having them do the labor while he takes a cut. I was splitting the cost of the weed removal, so I was also a paying customer in this situation. My sister kindly offered Robert food, gas money, and water. I was honestly upset at her for even offering after how rude and demanding Matthew was being. A real business owner would not demand gas money from customers over a misunderstanding. Business owners understand that gas is part of operating a business and is also a tax write-off. The fact that he continued demanding gas money instead of simply handling the misunderstanding professionally was extremely unprofessional. He never once said, "Don't worry about the gas." He was angry from start to finish. My sister came back into the house asking if I thought I should step in, but she said she was trying to be respectful and believed Matthew would understand once she explained the misunderstanding. I told her she was being too nice. Instead, he treated her like she intentionally caused the situation and then continued demanding more money. Don't support a business whose characteristics show firsthand how they truly are. This man heavily uses his past military service to make his business look trustworthy -- "veteran-owned," "military police," etc. But then states his military background has nothing to do with his business. So why advertise it so heavily in the first place? It comes across as trust-based marketing -- using military status to gain credibility, relatability, emotional trust, support, and goodwill from customers. As someone from a military family, and prior service, that was especially disappointing to witness because the professionalism being advertised did not match the behavior we experienced. Meanwhile, Robert himself was actually respectful, calm, and understanding throughout the entire interaction. Ironically, the worker showed far more professionalism than the owner did. At the end of the day, misunderstandings happen. What matters is how a business owner handles them. Unfortunately, the way Matthew handled this situation left an extremely negative impression on our household, and based on this experience, I would not recommend this business to others.

The "business" decided to contact Yelp to have my photos removed. I'm simply sharing my personal…read moreexperience so other readers can make an informed decision about this business. I was unable to verify the company's licensing information, so I encourage anyone considering hiring them to ask for proof of any required business licenses and insurance before agreeing to any work. You can also independently verify a business through your state's contractor licensing board, the Secretary of State's business registry, your local county or city business licensing office, and consumer resources such as the Better Business Bureau. Additionally, always request a written estimate. Based on my experience, he was unprofessional, not timely, and had a significant anger issue. Not only this but he tried FORCING me to pay HIS WORKER gas money. He stated "only $5??? $20." I was only offered cash or Zelle as payment methods and was not provided with an invoice. If you decide to hire this company, verify any required licenses and insurance beforehand. Needless to say, I reported my concerns to the appropriate authorities. I believe customers deserve transparency, professionalism, and a business that complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
