New Image does a great job with our landscaping! They are friendly and helpful and have had good advice about upkeep and repairs. Thanks!

John and his team are wonderful to work with! Very professional and experienced. Answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable with the work they were doing. I'm so happy with the whole experience from start to finish. read more

New Image does such an amazing job! Their landscaping is top notch for the price paid for their service. The owner John is an amazing guy that is always responsive and gives you all the answers to whatever questions you may have. His knowledge and vision brings so much beauty and life to your home! read more

We had some yard work done by New Image. The work started at the beginning of October, 2016 and was done over a period of three weeks. After making the full payment, I contact the owner over the following concerns. 1.  I was charged for 5 redwood planters, only 3 were built.  2.  I was charged for 10 15-gallon plants, only 3 were planted 3. They did not fix two loose blocks The owner showed up in person and, by mid-April 2017, had responsibly taken care all of my concerns: For the two missing redwood planters they built a support for my grape vine. For the missing plants they planted 27 lavender plants They secured the loose blocks The dragged-out timeline for the project is a bit draining for me. However, New Image gets 4 stars from me - because the owner, who built the business from scratch, still keeps an old fashioned sense of honor. When promises regarding date/work were not kept, it genuinely bothers him and he tried his best to respond to concerns in person. This is a quality that should not be taken for granted. read more

Very disappointing. They came out to give an estimate as planned, then I had to call 2-3 days later to get them to send the estimate. I responded on the estimate form and had to call 2-3 days later to follow up. The female receptionist said she'd get back to me, and never did. I called a week later, same thing. I also left a message and wrote an email to John Lampasona Jr. over a week ago and nothing. read more

I cannot express how happy I am that New Image is now servicing our commercial building. Not only are they very knowledgeable about what they do, but their prices are very competitive with those who do a lot less. John & his crew went above and beyond to meet our deadlines and service needs. New Image has made our building look superior with theOr amazing work! I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

So pumped about the work that John and his team did at my business! The job they did on an overgrown tree was fantastic. And don't get me wrong the tree looks great, but what I really wanted was to get the sunlight back through our windows! Thanks to New Image, we got exactly what we wanted! I'd highly recommend them! read more

I'm a property manager for several locations in the old town Pasadena area and I've hired New Image Landscaping to complete a number of landscape installations as well monthly maintenance, all of which have been nothing less than excellent. The owner John, is attentive and has a team that you can truly count on. His workers are punctual and reliable. I have no hesitation in referring his company to any of my associates and or clients! read more

We could not be happier! My company has acquired a really big commercial property. The property is surrounded by grass and trees covered hills. Inside the property there are  different  gardens.    We had to let the old company go since they just could not handle our property  and were also way over priced. The Tenants and I are so happy with the work John and his guys are doing.  The grass is green again, the flowers are blooming, dead trees are gone, while he also managed to save some of the old olive trees.  He redesigned some areas and the gardens,  and every time there is some sort of tree, sprinkler or any other emergency, he is on it right away.    THANK YOU GUY'S !!! read more

Now a days is hard to trust in the quality some business provide. Fortunately I came a cross with New Image and since the first interview with them I felt I was with the right one, the one I could trust to take care of my in-laws (elder couple) to trim their back yard trees. Now that the high winds are coming I was very nervous and fearful that a branch could break and fall hurting someone. Now, I can take a big breath after a great job they did. A very clean job by the way, cleaning all debris. Two Thumbs up people! Definitely I recommend their services. Edgar C. read more

New Image Landscaping offers the best in customer service and satisfaction. I am the President of an HOA of a large condo complex in Arcadia. As you know, vendors can be frustrating and a true pain in the rear. Our previous gardening company frustrated me to tears as I waited for return calls and fullfillment of promises unkept. I found New Image Landscaping through the internet. I found them to be extremely professional and eager to work. I took the chance and hired them. I only have one regret.. and that is THAT I DIDN'T FIND THEM EARLIER. The owner, John, has gone out of his way to accommodate our needs. Their crew is respectful, hard working, and always eager to please us. I too had an emergency with trees down in the November windstorm. They were out within hours to clean up the disaster. Their prices are reasonable and their service is OUTSTANDING. They make themselves readily available by phone and in person to discuss and swiftly resolve gardening and irrigation issues that have come up with our 40 year old irrigation system. I can't say enough about their service and their support staff from ownership, supervisory staff, the office staff to the gardening crews! I am truly grateful to have found them and plan on keeping them around for a very long time. Angela L. read more

We just finished our front yard with new image and we couldn't get enough compliments. John was great and helped us design the front yard. John was able to do everything within our budget and saved us a bunch of money. They finished the work when they said they would. So far very satisfied. read more

This place is a joke. They totally wasted my time and I have no doubt they will waste yours too. I contacted them about landscaping my front yard and asked that they send John out. They said they would but John didn't show up. Another guy did who could not give me a quote. I said I wanted a visual depiction of his suggestions. He said he would give me the name of someone who would do a design for me. He never did. So I called again, got the guy's name and for $500 he did the design. I then brought the design over to their office and asked for a quote. Three weeks now. Nothing. I gave the same design to Flores landscaping (found them on Yelp too) and within a few days we had a contract. Don't waste your time with them. No follow up and don't keep their promises. Call Flores and ask for Freddy read more

New Image was wonderful. They came right out and were able to give us an estimate within a day. When they started work on our tree, they worked for as many days as it took and even through the weekend. They were friendly to all the neighbors, did lovely work, and cleaned up both our yard and neighbor's yard. We couldn't be happier with the results and know we hired the right company to do the work. Thank you New Image! read more

I was very disappointed in the service received from this company. The woman in the office is nice enough but not efficient. The owner John Lampasona promises things but doesn't deliver. Despite telling them I had a budget of $10,000 they didn't seem to want my business. I think unless you have a project of $50,000 or more they're not interested in it. read more

7/20/2016: I called to make an initial appointment for an estimate. I told the woman who answered that I wanted 60 sprinkler bodies replaced, because the sprinkler heads were not popping up high enough and were blocked by the tall grass. She didn't seem to be writing down my information as she asked, "How many sprinklers do you need replaced? 100?" I said, "No, about 60". I got an appointment for 7/27 at 9 AM. (Strike 1) 7/26/2016: They called me back at 3:40 PM (a day before the appointment) and asked me to push back the 9 AM appointment to 10 AM. I said that wouldn't work for me as I had to go to work by then, and we rescheduled for 8/5 at 8 AM. (Strike 2) 8/5/2016: I waited at home at 8 AM sharp for the appointment. An hour went by, no one showed, no one called. At 9:06 AM I called them to ask what happened. The woman apologized and said she'll call her estimator and call me back. 10:05 AM: Still no one showed up, no call with an update. I called them back, same lady answered and apologized again that she hadn't heard back from the estimator. I told her that this was really bad customer service, and cancelled my appointment. She apologized again. (Strike 3, and you're out!) Conclusion: 2+ hours of my time wasted. I read some of the negative Yelp reviews about this place missing appointments and being hours late, and thought maybe they were a fluke. But I had that same problem with this company. Not sure why there are so many 5-star reviews for this place, but I certainly didn't get 5-star service. More like 0-star service. You can apologize as much as you want, but that doesn't count as good customer service. Actions speak louder than words. read more

John came to look at my backyard project, measured and gave his opinion of how to landscape yard along with my ideas. I was excited about having the job done and he said I would have estimate in one week. I called after a week and he said he was busy and it would be another week. Another week passed and I again called and he said he was so busy and lied and said he never told me when he would give me estimate I asked if job was too small and he said no, but never sent me or delivered an estimate. It was almost a month and he never called nor did I. I had many other estimates and I never waited over a day or so. John was rude and arrogant and I would never ever refer New Image to anyone. He was the worst person I have ever dealt with. Also the company itself never returned my first phone for over 3 weeks. Don't ever call them. The above review was intended for another man named John from FormLA. I made a drastic mistake thinking it was New Image. John from New Image was great. He came on the exact appointment time and offered great ideas in landscaping my project. He was very courteous and professional. As promised the estimate was emailed to me the following day. I had to put my project on hold, but New Image will be my first choice when I am ready. read more

Another example of how the "yelp filter" might make you miss a great business. My search criteria was simple. Located in or near Pasadena. Able to quote same day. Licensed contractor. And some 5 star reviews.... Well I saw one, then I checked the filter...8 five star reviews chilling in the filter with great person experiences. My wife and I bought a house about 5 months ago. I thought that I would save some money on a "mow and blow" service by buying my own lawn mower, blower, and hedger. I've been almost weekly doing my own service and just like the dog's hair cut ....it looks like it. Anyway, I was fine with having a mediocre yard and spending 1-3 hours per week doing it, UNTIL....the mower broke. 3 weeks later and I still had no time to return to Sears. Having plenty of other to do things on the property, I thought I better call a Landscaper rather than just a gardener or junk removal place. Fortunately, they actually do landscaping, removal, maintenance and sprinklers. I called New Image Landscaping. They were able to get John out to estimate the job same day and I only had about 3 hours before I had to go to work. My appointment was 1:30 and he arrived at 1:25. In less than 10 minutes we did a walk of the property. He know just what to do, he asked questions to the point and agreed to mow the front, back, trim all the ivy, trim all the bushes on the property (there must be 50 that are planted and over grown), trim the front plum tree that was entangled in the wires to the house and growing way too high, clean all the weeds out of the rock wall, make a dead grass area back into dirt, clear fallen yacca plants, clip bamboo and many more things I can't remember. He said he would be back with two guys on Thursday morning (two days later and the day I requested) at 7:30 a.m. and it would be done by the middle of the day. Thursday morning at 7:41 a.m. my wife says to me, I think the gardeners are here as we awoke from our slumber. I walk out the front door to about 8-10 guys, three professional trucks, and John looking sharp and in charge. He smiles at me and says, I had a big job later today so I thought I'd bring more guys, they should be done in about an hour or two. I looked out to what was already a NEW YARD!!! The front looked nothing like it did before even when we first moved in. As I walked around, I was amazed at the skill level of the guys working and their speed. I watched a guy go up to a fancy grass clump that was over grown and in 20-30 secs he had pruned the whole thing and it looked like new. They even took care of two small palms that were not discussed in the bid on my request and it only took them about ten minutes to clean them. Literally by 9:30 a.m. they were done and they hauled the debris away. They even helped me move a heavy table on the property without a hesitation. What I can say about New Image is they are on time, quick, professional, attention to detail, friendly, Pasadena and Altadena local (although I heard they actually service Santa Monica and other areas of the westside too). Clean vehicles, clean staff, and overall clean operation. John returned my email in 20 minutes and his bid was quick and reasonable. I think I will be having them as regulars if the price is right. read more

New Image Landscaping did a fantastic job on my house . There workers were on time , clean, professional and were very experienced and knowledgable. At first we had a simple idea for our front yard but John had some different ideas, even though its not we exactly wanted , we trusted his expertise . I must say after they were done, me and my wife were so glad we listened to John. He has a great eye for landscape design and would recommend him to anyone . Thank you New Image Landscape for the fantastic work ! read more

After the huge wind storm in Pasadena on Nov. 30th, 2011, four of our trees were severely damaged. I emailed New Image Landscaping for an estimate and they contacted me within 24 hours. I verified their license, bond and worker's compensation coverage at the Cal. State License Board website, so I felt confident using their services. The crew arrived with all the proper equipment and did an admirable job trimming and shaping our avocado and palm tree, then moved on to the heavy work of removing a huge pine and eucalyptus tree that were too damaged to save. They hauled off the tree trunks and chipped the branches, cleaning the yard of all debris before they left. I'm impressed with the professional workmanship of their employees, and plan to hire them back next year to shape our grove of fruit trees. read more

My husband and I hired New Image Landscaping & Tree Service, Inc. to landscape our backyard. We spent weeks getting estimates and contacting various companies. New Image Landscaping was far more responsive and helpful than any of the other companies we contacted. After initially contacting New Image, a free in person estimate was provided the following day. I was impressed when the owner, John Lampasona Jr., showed up himself to do the estimate and explain the process. My husband and I have a toddler and dogs, so we wanted a backyard that was safe and enjoyable for our family while still being easy to maintain and affordable to landscape. Mr. Lampasona offered solutions to our current landscaping needs. As a young family, we operate on a very tight budget. Some of the landscapers I spoke to were condescending and quoted prices that were completely out of our price range. Fortunately, Mr. Lampasona offered solutions and worked within our budget. His whole team was helpful, skilled, and efficient. They showed up on time (6:30 a.m. daily) and did not leave until they were finished. I was shocked at the progress every time I looked out the window. During our project, New Image encountered several unforeseen challenges. Our yard had two gas leaks and no electricity in the garage. Instead of charging us more or making excuses about when the project would be completed, John fixed both problems and did NOT charge us a penny over what he had originally quoted. John's crew worked diligently for three day straight, creating the most beautiful backyard we could imagine. Instead of having a yard full of weeds, dirt, and thorns...we now have a gorgeous backyard with a perfectly installed irrigation system, fresh grass, side hedges, and most importantly a place that feels like a little sanctuary for our family to enjoy together. We couldn't be more happy with the amazing work that John and the New Image Landscaping Crew provided. Thank you for your high quality work and dedication to helping make our yard a place that we love!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Note: After reading some other reviews, and seeing that many others feel that New Image Landscaping is also superior to the rest, soI want to address the one "negative" review I read. John does have a family, and I'm glad he puts them first. He has his priorities straight. That being said, I believe that because he is a family man he has the ability to help customers in a far more meaningful way. He knows how to recommend landscaping that will be good for all your family members including children. Also, his family does not interfere in anyway with his work ethic. He was still on our site every morning bright and early and answered all of my phone calls immediately, even when I called him in the late evening. I hope if you are considering New Image, you will give this company your business. You will not be disappointed! read more

I wish that I had experienced the positive outcome that so many others have written about but unfortunately that was not the case. It started out well, when they sent Larry to review my property he pointed out several things that should be corrected and he was extremely knowledgeable about the types of plants I had and how to properly care for them. We went over what was included in the maintenance of the yard as well as cost for weekly maintenance. I felt that I was in good hands. But that's where it ended. Although I had discussed several important items to be addressed with Larry and sent follow up emails to the company to remind them of it, I had to contact the owner when after 2 weeks, they had still not been addressed. During the time that New Image managed my property, the weeds in my yard were not being pulled and overall it was in worse condition than when they started. When I contacted them to cancel the contract, they told me that they would see about getting it cancelled for me as soon as possible. Then the communication stopped. I followed up 3-4 times and stopped trying after that. I have never worked with a more non communicative, unprofessional company before and I hope this saves someone else the headache. read more

THE ABSOLUTE BEST! When it comes to quality and time, New Image takes care of it all! John & his team go above and beyond to make our yard and landscape looking great. So glad to have found them and would recommend to anyone! read more

First, let's get the small negative out of the way. I setup an appointment with New Image Landscaping to show up and give me a quote on fixing my home's balky sprinkler system. Not only did John (I think this was his name, I lost my notepad where I had written it down) not show up on time (2pm), I received a phone call 30 minutes later for him to get an idea of what kind of work I needed, so that he could provide a rough estimation of the labor costs. I had taken leave to be home when he arrived, so I was a bit irked and wary at this, but he promised that Isaiah would show up later that day at 4pm. I agreed to their labor rates and Isaiah then showed up at 4:15. So, just on timeliness alone, I was tempted to knock off a star, but let's move on to the positives. Isaiah arrived, and I showed him around the installed sprinkler system and told him that there were some issues here and there that I wanted him to check out to make the system run better. He began working on the first issue when he noticed water flowing out of my lawn, which he immediately identified as a broken sprinkler pipe. He walked around the lawn, jumping in a few places, and was able to precisely identify the patch where the broken pipe was buried. He dug it up and repaired the pipe, which wasn't easy since the cheap pipe that the previous owner had laid kept snapping as he cut the section to repair. Following that fix, he went around and repaired a few actuators, patiently explaining the parts and what he was doing as I hovered over him and asked questions. Isaiah's willingness to instruct me in sprinkler repairs was in extreme contrast to the previous sprinkler repairmen that I had hired to do what I hired New Image to do. He was a curmudgeonly guy who blatantly asked me if I was trying to steal his livelihood. I understand his point of view, which is why I appreciate Isaiah's help so much. He showed me how to fix a number of problems that a homeowner would experience with sprinklers. A day or two later, I received an invoice from New Image Landscaping. I felt like it was a very fair price for the parts and labor and I was able to save $30 using a Yelp coupon as well! Minus the minor stumbles at the beginning with scheduling, I was thrilled with the service I received from New Image, and I would fully recommend them to anyone looking for sprinkler assistance! read more

Great company! The owner and staff are extremely friendly and very responsive. All questions I had were answered in a timely and helpful manner. Their level of work and care exceeded all expectations! Couldn't be happier. read more

Our school was on a short schedule and tight budget when we hired John. Not only was he professional, he was helpful, accomodating and extremely knowledgeable. He came in with a proactive plan and was confident that he could do a great job. And he did. John's team came early morning on Sunday and worked until the job was done. There was one mistake that was made- some expensive birdseed was thrown away. However, when I brought this to his attention, John quickly did what he could to give us a solution that we were happy with. He reimbursed us for that loss by subtracting that from the invoice without any hesitation. Other then that, people are still telling us how great the school looks. John and his team are professional, smart, capable, and well worth the money! We highly recommend them to anyone. read more

This is a very reputable company, and John and his team completed our project within our budget and fulfilled the deadline as promised. He is not only professional, but also very knowledgeable about what he is doing. We hired him based on seeing projects he has completed in Arcadia, and many of them are sooooo beautiful, and we believed he will deliver the same quality of work. I usually read the negative yelp reviews to get a sense of what I might encounter, and I can honestly and sincerely tell you that all the positive reviews on Yelp about this company is true, and don't worry about those other reviews because John and his team delivers!!!! read more

While I originally raved about this company, I have to say we are really disappointed. We've contacted to owner directly, and either get no response or a response without follow through. I've called the office recently. It was a holiday so I had to leave a voicemail. It's been 10 days and we still have not received a follow-up call. We ended up having to go with someone else to get the work complete. read more

The windstorm of 2011 left our yard, trees, and plants a disaster. John came to the rescue with the best quote and the best quality. Thanks to the vision and help of John at New Image our dream backyard has come true, and they will even maintain it for us because they do weekly gardening! We got a sprinkler system, hedges, a garden, fake grass (that looks like real grass without the maintenance), and many landscaping design touches. The biggest project though, the seemingly insurmountable oak tree is gone. John let us take our time, change our design like 100 times, and when we were twitchy about the cost he found ways for us to save money. Brilliant use of mulch (and lots of it) is the cheap option we were looking for. We will be using New Image for our next project! read more

**Edited 8/13/13** I am editing my original review to reflect the fact that the owner has gone out of his way to make sure the job was done to my satisfaction. John, the owner came to my house for the original estimate to fix my sprinkler system/timer which had completely broken down. He quickly figured out the problem and recommended a new Rainbird controller. The work was done efficiently and neatly and the new equipment works great. My original problem was that the instructions were missing, so I couldn't figure out how to use it and it wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. I was also about to leave for a long trip. Because of vacations on both sides, it took a little while to connect with John. But once that happened he was back the next day. He went through the programs and the instructions with me and reprogrammed the timer. He also showed me a simpler program to accomplish what I needed. While he was at it, John discovered a set-up glitch which made programming more complicated than necessary. Within a few hours, a truck pulled up and a technician came and took care of it. Based on the quick response I would use this service again and would recommend it to others. I am giving 5 stars because even though there was a problem, the effort on the part of the owner to resolve it was impressive. I would recommend also that you deal directly with John, and not his office, about the details of your job. This is easy to do because he is very accessible by cell phone. I read more

John is easy to work with. He came on time for the appointment and gave the estimate to my project instantly. The crew did a good job and John even dropped by to inspect how his guys did. I would've given him five stars if not for the delay caused by one of their trucks that broke down. The office should've called to let me know that they will be 2 hours late because of this. I would've understand things beyond their control. Communication is mandatory. read more

Thanks again New Image Landscaping & Tree Service. Your team did a wonderful job. When looking for a landscaping and tree service, there were many in the Pasadena Area.

All jobs and projects were completed as promised as thus why I would highly recommend you and your team to others in my area. read more
