    Irrigation Boxes
    David L.

    Good: They charge reasonable price and do not create drama to boost their business. They replaced irrigation valves for me two days ago and no leakage has been noticed. They are family owned business which all members working together. Bad: They do rough work. They are not responsible for the electrical wire on the irrigation valve. After they replaced new valves and half of them can work properly. Another half wire not connected caused additional valves not working. I hired company called Electrical Insight at beginning for diagnostic all electrical wire ensure there is power, but after their work, those addintional valves stop working. They said they will backup their work. However, once I pay the money, they are no longer reachable. No customer care afterward.

    Before

    Responded quickly. Made quick work of removing my hedge. Didn't break anything in the process. Cleaned up afterwards. And charged a fair price. I had a great experience with this company and I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!!!

    I wanted grass removed and for it to never return. Backyard grass cut back but it grew back within a month.
    David L.

    I really wanted to give a higher review but this is a fair. I needed trimming back an overgrown yard (see pics), have some trash removed and have all grass and weeds treated so they don't grow back again. The crew got to work but did not finish the job. Apparently since I was out of town, Mateo didn't think he was going to get paid so the crew left trash at the property and refused to go back since it was a "waste of gas." Without edging, throwing away all sideyard trash and effectively killing the grass, he left the job incomplete. I paid him for the work he did complete.

    The workers Cutting Down the Palm Trees
    Vicente M.

    Mr Diego and his coworkers showed up on time to handle the work previously promised. Work promised: 3 palm tree removal with the STUMPS At the beginning of the project, they stated that it would take 5 hours to complete. TWO (2) hours later, received a text message stating that they were complete. Upon inspection, noted that they did not delieve the stump as promised. They stump were still at the ground level. After they were called out, they attempted to shave off some. But it was a failure. I am looking to lay gravel on the assigned areas in the future, HOWEVER, I will have to source out extra money to have those stumps removed which was not done in the beginning as promised. This is to review indicate the over job satisfaction based on the deliveries. Based on the company promised: - 3 Trees Cut Down (Checked) - 3 Tree Stumps removal (NOT PERFORMED) - Customer Interaction: good. - Total time Spent at work site: 3 hrs 15 minutes. Therefore, 3 out of 5 Stars. Would I recommend? - Unfortunately, NO due to failure to remove the Stumps as promised. And now I have to hire someone else to remove the stumps.

    Our new patio cover was damaged during our Tree trimming Service..
    Neal C.

    In addition to the patio cover damage me tioned, he used spikes after he said he wouldn't. He broke the fence behind one of the palm trees. He did not do any kind of quality walk though with us before leaving on the day of service. I was not home and my wife ran to the store real quick. When she came back he was gone.

    These guys are great! Showed up on time every day and worked fast. We are now having them do even more work on our little ranch in Poway. You won't find a better value. Easy to communicate with. We had them prepare our huge hill and plant ice plant plugs. They also reconfigured the sprinkler system to be more effective. It looks amazing. Cleaned up nicely after...like they were never here!

    We had them out to level our yard, add grass, and build out a few pathways. I would definitely recommend them and use them in the future. Great work, good value. Also helped with the sprinklers.

    DO NOT USE Chris Bargain Lawn Care! During the week of 7/7, he mismanaged all aspects of our…read morelandscaping project, leading us to lose over $5,000 due to improper application of synthetic turf, failure to remove old turf and decomposed granite from our yard, putting a nail through our sprinkler line, and placing sticky sand all over our pavers requiring additional cleanup. Chris was informed about the removal of turf, roots, and DG four days prior to completion, but did not respond. I had over 100 text and phone calls with his subcontractor - Boots Construction, who was rarely present and did not address the issues. One time, he left to give a quote for another job instead of staying at our house. Chris guaranteed Boots would always be on site. I spent over 25 hours supervising and fixing problems with the entire project. Chris assured me of Boots' expertise, which proved false. Despite receiving payments, Boots has not paid his crew. Chris was sent numerous pictures and text, but did not resolve any of these problems. In fact, he stated he would be unable to provide any assistance or reimbursement of any kind.... Not even a penny. * Paver problems: Boots didn't take the right samples or measurements, so the pavers were mismatched and cut poorly. The sand was applied badly, and they didn't install root barriers as promised. * Fire pit and walkway issues: The fire pit area was uneven and needed to be redone. * Mulch mess: The crew piled mulch against the plants, even though they were told not to. We had to redo all the mulch installations around 150 plants. * Crew's behavior: The crew left trash all over our yard, including pizza boxes and water bottles we purchased for lunch. Chris stated on the 6th day our yard would be left in a pristine state and the opposite happened. They even left loose razor blades that were a hazard to our dogs! * Turf troubles: Turf and DG were removed with no disposal plan, leaving our gate unusable and driveway blocked until we paid 1-800-Got-Junk for removal. Chris did not respond when contacted. The turf showed visible nail spots, uneven seams, improper cuts, and house flashing and two sprinkler lines were damaged requiring another contractor for repairs. Boots used only a third of the specified infill amount. * Root removal problems: The roots weren't removed to the agreed depth, which could cause future issues. We had to buy materials to finish the root barrier installation. * Contract and payment concerns: Chris required a 25% upfront payment on 7/2, exceeding California's legal 10% downpayment limit, citing the need for pre-July 4th material purchases. However, receipts show no materials were bought until 7/11. Chris mismanaged the job and failed to respond to calls on Thursday and Friday. Despite our contract with him, he took no direct responsibility and communicated only about payments from Monday to Saturday. The subcontractor did not handle the turf professionally, contrary to Chris's assurances. Both Chris and Boots Construction are not licensed contractors according to the California State License Board. I would give a negative star rating if possible.

He also offered clear explanations about why the work would best be done a certain way. When it came to the work itself, his crew was outstanding.

In fact, his proposal included everything needed to properly prepare and establish a healthy lawn, while other estimates we received were significantly more expensive and included less. Michael recommended St. Augustine grass because we have a large dog, and within a week, his team was ready to start the project. He explained the entire process ahead of time and gave me detailed guidance about the watering schedule, mowing schedule, and recommended equipment for maintaining the new lawn. The crew was amazing--efficient, professional, polite, and extremely hardworking. Carlos, the crew lead, was especially impressive. He is calm, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. He listened carefully to every concern I had and made sure everything was addressed properly. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and they even installed a fence that we provided to protect the new lawn from foot traffic and our dog while it gets established. The finished lawn looks absolutely beautiful. The new sprinkler system is quiet, efficient, and works perfectly. They used new, quality materials and clearly did not cut corners anywhere in the project. After comparing several companies and estimates, I am very happy that we chose Pacific Landscaping and Maintenance. We received a better, more complete project at a very competitive price. Michael, Carlos, and the entire crew exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them!

Thank you to Cesar, Gus, Tony, Carlos, Gabriel, and all of the highly skilled workers who made my dream patio come true.

They took care of the concept, all design details, the permit process, the coordination of suppliers and equipment, new utilities, and the installation. The work included installing a 30' X 30' Pergola, upgrading the outdoor wall lighting, creating a rose garden, new sod on the lawn, restoring the irrigation system, restoring the landscape lighting, and of course creating a new chef's kitchen. Their design recommendations were always on target and their estimated 6-week schedule from demolition to final clean up was accurate to the day. Everything they did was professional and high quality. We will enjoy our patio and kitchen for years to come and we highly endorse and recommend Rivers Landscape and Construction for any General Contracting. Juan R.
