Richard at NuView Landscape Construction met all my expectations. I had a difficult landscape project that others had declined. Richard and his crew were ready to tackle the project and did the job quickly. The work was performed as promised, no surprises, on time and for a reasonable cost. Will definitely use Richard and NuView Landscape Construction again! read more

I shopped around for a solid crew at a good price. I was very particular at what I wanted and it was a bit of a unique shape for my driveway, but Richards team accommodated my requests for shape and mixed stamp/smooth texture. My only complaint would be that I didn't love the color once it was down, but that's more my fault for not taking the time to think that part of it through. Otherwise the work was solid, and I do reccomend these guys. read more

Richard and his crew do great work. They poured about 800 sqft. of concrete at my home that included a RV pad, pathways, and steps. Every bit of it turned out great, in some ways better than expected. Besides the actual work, Richard communicates every step of the process so there weren't any surprises. They were always punctual, worked diligently, and left me with a tidy work area at the end of each day. Overall it was a pleasurable experience. read more

My front yard adjacent to the street needed new landscaping. Richard and his crew removed the overgrown weeds, tree roots and broken sprinkler pipe and professionally installed new sod, irrigation, and gopher/ground squirrel mesh. The results are stunning! Richard's prep work and expert installation has the new landscaping thriving. Highly recommend. read more

Richard and his team removed our old driveway, installed a new concrete driveway with brick ribbons, added a stub wall at the edge of our property, and built a brick pillar for our mailbox. The work was done quickly and efficiently with clear communication. The crew tidied up after themselves each day, made sure to mark any uneven areas with caution tape, and paid careful attention to detail. When one brick ribbon turned out a little wobbly, Richard had the crew redo it without our even saying anything. We'd gladly hire NuView again for future projects and have recommended them to several neighbors. read more

New driveway looks great, completed quickly, no mess left behind and the pricing was the best I received! Highly recommend. My new driveway (165 sf) was completed in 2 days and the result is excellent! The crew showed up at the agreed upon time, made quick work of the demolition and removal of the driveway, while cleaning the entire time and prepping for the next day's pouring of the concrete. On day 2, they were on time again, and were very efficient in their work. Richard explained all of the steps along the way, answering questions via email, and following up to make sure the job was done to our satisfaction. His pricing was better than the four other bids that I received, and I'm so glad that I went with his company. The best part is I no longer have to worry about popping tires, or scratching the bottom of my car on a tree root damaged driveway. read more

We hired Richard 5 years ago to expand our driveway. The driveway has held up well and has not cracked. So we hired him again to do work in the backyard. He removed all trees and then prepped and concreted the area that we wanted. Work turned out great and we will be hiring him again to work on our front yard. Richard is responsive and turns up on time and communicates everything with us. Would recommend to anyone. read more

Finding Richard and Felipe through craigslist was the best thing that I ever found on craigslist. Not only they quoted me a reasonable price for a new driveway, the price was very reasonable, any snags they encounter, they will handle ASAP with no additional costs, no headaches for me. Driveway looks awesome and well-built. The best thing was that they finished the work one day early than what was agreed upon! I am very happy with their work, they are very responsive with any questions and are detailed with their explanations or any concerns that you may have, and I have an awesome driveway! Thank you! read more

I called many and made careful selection who to choose and ask a lot of questions yes I'm annoying lol but Richard was very professional and answered all my questions and concerns I had ,and even offered more then what I asked and I love that! you can clearly see he lives up to a higher standard then just get in and out of a job he really cares that you are pleased with the job they performed , I love that and have decided to go with him for maintaining our yard cause you can tell he cares and it's more then a go in mow and blow and leave he will make sure job is correctly done and I appreciate that.. I see some were not happy and I'm sorry about that may of been a lot of misunderstandings.. but I have nothing but good to say and I can tell he has a lot of work it's just sad all the ones he has done work with and are happy are not coming on here and praising him and his crew ,, many just hop on to bash but I have a feeling he has loads more that are happy then ones who were unhappy ..if you employ them and they do the job let them and the world know .. we all need to know how good they are,, Richard and crew went above and beyond very knowledgeable about what they do .. Richard I look forward to continue working with you and thank you read more

Hm let me just warm up my bad review wand here.. First let me say the good things. Richard Calderon was funny and personable. His workers were pretty competent. Bad: Zero followup. He promised the moon as far as "Oh yeah man call me if you have any issues with this job" - we're talking about a grand spent on a new sprinkler system and valve in the backyard. I called him when it started leaking at the valve- cringing, thinking I would get the shuffle off, I call him- and- yeah, voice mail. Ok, I try again right away, I get him- "Oh yeah I'll be out to take a look tomorrow" I nail down a time, etc etc, and next day- nothing. No call, nothing. I try to follow up, and it says it's disconnected. Yeah. Try again later, leave another voice mail. Today I will be calling a plumber to fix his work. Argh. Yeah- in summary- AVOID! read more

Wow! Surprised me. Talked to a neighbor at the local grocers and they called him and reached him recently. So truth be told, he was avoiding my calls because he didn't want to fix the incomplete hillside clearance his worker did. :-( I didn't expect Richard to be a sneaky one, but I guess even the most charming can be. Smh read more

I had a great experience with Richard and his crew. First, I hired them to install some concrete in the front and back of my house, to add some parking spaces. The concrete came out perfectly. Then I called them back to install some landscaping. Richard took me to Home Depot and recommended some different plants & trees that would suit my property. On our way back to the house, he called his crew to start preparing the soil (I love efficiency :). The landscaping looks amazing! The crew is very skillful, friendly, and cleaned everything up perfectly when it was all done. They even setup my drip system to water the trees efficiently. I look forward to hiring them for my backyard soon. Great service, great price! read more

This guy "Richard" was supposed to start a 5k project for me at my home, no call, no show... I waited nearly 2 hours before I left, late to my first job, now looking as unprofessional as him. Didn't return my messages until later to tell me he went on a "lil vacation" instead of starting my job that we had scheduled, and that he could start tomorrow... Yeah, no you can't, giving the work to someone else. read more

They started out ok then slowly would stop showing up as scheduled. They would charge for sprinkler repairs and not make the repairs Stay away from these guys read more

I was very disappointed after getting off to a very good start with Richard. We hired him to re-do our backyard, cement and sod. Everything looked great and they finished the job quickly. We were very pleased with the work and called Richard again for some more work on our front yard. After a few missed appointments we finally got Richard to come back out again. We showed him what we wanted done and he gave us a quote the next day. We agreed to go through with the work, but it never started on the date we agreed to. On the 3rd reschedule, we were supposed to meet him at a nursery to pick out plants for the job. We tried to contact him the night before and morning of, no response. We have not heard from him since. Very disappointing considering the work we actually had done looked great. read more

Richard asked if he could have a second chance and was very apologetic - so we gave him one. We met at our house two times, agreed upon work, pricing and start date - and then he just completely disappeared....again! We called, emailed and texted multiple times and the guy just completely ignored us. I can't believe Richard literally did the same thing to us twice. We have spend hours now working and arranging and communicating with him only to have him completely disappear right before the start of the project. What a let down....again...and so incredibly rude to waste so much if people's time. read more

Following up from my email inquiry, Richard connected by email, phone and text towards meeting at my property to survey a project and make an estimate. Richard was friendly, knowledgeable about residential landscaping issues, and demonstrated quality business conduct with his quote and agreement to begin work the following day at 8 am. The relationship went downhill from there. In fact, vanished completely. Richard failed to show up the next day. After 10 am I tried to reach him via the same communications we used to set up the initial meeting. I left a cordial voice mail inviting Richard to still show up for the job or to be so kind as to simply let me know he decided to not perform. The courtesy would have enabled my earliest action to recapture other opportunities that I'd turned away after Richard set up the job. Shameful conduct; business or otherwise. I do not write many reviews of this sort. Fortunately it is rare that I run into someone with absolutely no respect or integrity. Next ! read more

My husband and I love our new landscaping. Richard took the time to come out to our new property and give us new ideas for our front and yards. Price was very reasonable and wonderful work. read more

DO NOT USE Richard/Affordable Landscape...they were hired to rototill, lay weed blocker with cardboard and netting (on his assistance), spread mulch and plants. They NEVER laid the cardboard or netting, so weeds are now everywhere. Never finished the backyard as well. AVOIDED ALL TEXTS/EMAILS/CALLS to come back and fix/finish the job. We had to hire another person to fix/complete. Should never have paid them, they took the money and ran! DO NOT USE THEM!!!!! read more

Richard and his crew did an amazing transformation of my front yard and a portion of my backyard. They removed several large trees and bushes, including the root stumps. They upgraded my old 3 valve irrigation system in the front yard, with 6 valves, which included sprinklers, drip lines, hose irrigation, and multiple water regulators due to excessive water pressure at my house. They installed a valve in the backyard for drip irrigation on the new hedge bushes they installed. They made a beautiful retaining wall that ran along the sidewalk in front of my house, made a beautiful stepstone, river rock pathway that connected from my driveway to the front steps. Installed the plants and trees in both my front and backyard, placed all the wiring so that landscape lighting can go up. They prepped and painted my sight for sore eye cinder block fence into a beautiful brown fence. My house has always had poor drainage issues. They took time to level appropriately before laying the sod. I'm extremely happy with the result of the landscape. I've gotten many compliments so far. Richard is honest and conscientious about making sure all the details are done to my liking. They didn't cut corners. Also, I had a budget for this project. Richard was flexible in that he allowed me to buy some of materials, such as plants and bushes, and some of the masonry items. He charged only for installation of those items. I highly recommend Richard and his crew to anyone interested in getting landscaping done. You will not be disappointed. read more

I found Richard on Craigslist. We were looking to expand our Driveway and had gotten several insane quotes and people not returning our calls. Richard was responsive and his prices are AMAZING! Highly recommend. read more

Richard and his guys did a very nice job on my back yard. They dug up the old lawn which was totally overgrown with weeds, rotilled the soil and laid new sod. It looks beautiful and Richard has come back twice to check the progress and to adjust the timing on my sprinklers. Very professional and courteous, they showed up when promised. I experienced none of the negatives that other reviews have mentioned! :) read more

I had an appointment with him at 9 am. He was suppose to give me an estimate for weekly gardening service. I saw his ad on craigslist. Never showed up. NEVER answered for my phone calls or texts. Do not waste your time with him. read more

We had a similar experience as to what others have described here. Richard came and gave a quote. He appeared to be very knowledgeable and professional. We decided to hire him and he said he would start Tuesday morning at 8 am. He then informed us that we needed to get a dumpster and he would come the next day to start work. No show on Wed and no response to texts and calls. Eventually he switched his phone off. Never heard of him since. We had a dumpster paid for with nobody to fill it!! Avoid this company at all costs as it will end up costing you considerably more. Absolutely unbelievable! read more

One of these days I will learn to check yelp reviews BEFORE I do business with a company. In this particular case, though, I am glad I didn't because I may not have hired Richard if I had seen these. I had a wonderful experience with Affordable Landscape. I was looking for someone to install new valves and a sprinkler system in my backyard. I got an estimate from Richard, as well as three other companies. Richard was the second least expensive, but the actual least expensive company did not seem as competent and knowledgable about the best way to tackle this big ol yard. So, I chose Richard. He had great communication with me throughout the project (which I ended up adding a couple of tings to, when I saw what a great job they were doing) I cannot say enough wonderful things about his crew. They were so respectful and took pride in their work. Also, I told Richard that I was trying to do as much of the work as I could in the yard and instead of trying to make me feel like I wouldn't be able to do it myself (as a single woman, I get that kind of treatment OFTEN) he offered tips and suggestions as well as telling me where to get the best price for certain items. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would not hesitate to call him again with future needs. read more

I hired Richard to do some work for my mother. We are very pleased with the experience. He was very responsive to my emails. He is fluent in English and Spanish which helped my mother and I communicate our needs effectively. Richard is more technologicly advanced than other landscapers I've hired in the past. I asked him if he would accept payment via PayPal which he did. We were able to exchange photos and ideas via email while and everything went smooth. read more
