Note, that in fairness to Rafael, he didn't do any work for us. This review is based on the fact…read morethat twice he failed to show up as scheduled to give us an estimate. The first time, he never texted me to update his timing, but instead after I called and messaged him, he finally called 1/2 hr after he was originally to arrive. At that point, it was too late for my schedule. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, we re-scheduled for 2 days later with a wide arrival window. This time - again, he didn't show, call, message, or respond to mine. I understand that things can come up and interfere with plans. However, not communicating that to a prospective customer is something I have no patience for. When I twice arrange my schedule to accommodate his, his no-show/no message behavior signals both a lack of professionalism and a total disregard for my time. It's rude. Maybe his business is that good he feels he can do what he wants. To me, this is a huge flag for other prospective customers.

I highly recommend contacting Rafael for your landscaping needs. We were up against a tight…read moredeadline to list our home for sale, and our backyard was out of control with weeds and overgrowth. Others took one look and didn't want to take on this big job! I couldn't disagree, as my yard has been mocking my efforts for months. But Rafael said he could get everything done in one day, including mulching a big sloped area. And he did! Rafael and his cousin arrived on time and went to work. Their positive attitude was amazing, and they talked and laughed while working at a fast pace, making the tough job look like a walk in the park. They'd check in with me to ask how it looked, and if I wanted more done. Communication was great, and I was able to give the thumbs up or ask them to take things back a bit more, to my personal preference. They hauled away all the debris, and the yard looked the best it had in years! Why did I wait to have this work done when we were selling, and I couldn't enjoy it? My mistake! LOL Don't hesitate to call Rafael, as you'll be very pleased with the outcome at a fair price.

The backyard needed a ton of work as all the grass was dead, weeds everywhere, 6 trees needed a lot of trimming. Joaquin came over, gave me a good assessment and a very good price for everything, plus repairing a side fence (others wanted to replace and charge more). Joaquin and his crew were friendly, professional, on time (which is huge for us), and did an absolute amazing job on getting our place looking good again. I have zero complaints. 2 days after they finished, on of my sprinkler valves busted. Joaquin came over, replaced it right away and didn't try to over charge me for the last minute work. I definitely recommend Joaquin and his team for any of the services that they offer!

Working with Sean and Van Slyke Landscape was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. Sean is…read moreboth brilliant and humble. Our backyard was a mess. The old concrete patio was cracked and lifting everywhere, there were deep tree roots, a rusted, disintegrated wrought iron fence and gate that were tied to chicken wire to keep from falling over, a concrete step right in the middle of the yard which was both a tripping hazard and divided the already small yard into two even smaller sections, and a small area around the back which was overgrown and unusable. My husband and I kept saying, "We need to do something about the backyard", but we had no idea where to begin. Sean was very generous with his time before starting the project, meeting with my husband and me many times to help us hone in on what we wanted. He listened to everything I wanted and everything my husband wanted and when we had a question or weren't sure, or when my husband and I couldn't agree on something like what type of patio we wanted, ie. flagstone, pavers, concrete, etc. , Sean would humbly make recommendations or suggestions and I can honestly tell you that he was always right. He knows what he is doing and the best decisions we made were when we listened to him...because he listened to us. Sean and his team created beauty out of nothing...worse than nothing...they first had to take out the mess that was there. Things didn't always go easily. With any project there will be unforeseen challenges, but HOW your professionals handle that is key. Sean is a class act and always took care of everything with complete professionalism and courtesy. Throughout the project Sean always let us know what to expect which helped smooth the way with our HOA and kept us in good graces with our neighbors. When it came to dealing with permits, inspections, etc. Sean knew what was required and we knew we were in excellent hands. He was responsive with emails, texts and calls, and in short, never ever left us hanging or in doubt about anything. Whatever project was being worked on: demolition, laying the conduits and drains, designing the patio, pouring the concrete, the precise layout of the pavers, installing a glass fence and gate instead of the rusty iron rail, creating and building a beautiful fireplace and seat bench from scratch, lighting and electrical, plants and softscape, even the design of the drains, etc., Sean found the right workers and teams for each job and every detail was done with care and to perfection. I cannot say enough good things. Choosing Sean and Van Slyke Landscape was one of the best decisions we've ever made. They transformed our backyard mess into a place of beauty and peace. Please see before and after photos.

I would liken no longer using this landscaping company to removing an infected abscess. There are…read moreso many things wrong with their so-called "maintenance", I wouldn't know where to start. Basically they are untrustworthy, neglectful, dishonest and incompetent. What they say they will do, is not what you will get, or they will just not do it. They charge over twice as much as other services and work far less hours than they state they will and do not give you the services that they charge for. Our yard was filled with healthy plants before we hired them, half died throughout the months they began, by the time we switched over to another service they had killed over half the yard and we spent thousands of dollars repairing the yard with another service. Our new service is extremely competent , they listen to what we need done in the yard and get it accomplished with care and knowledge. Terri was overall very difficult to deal with, she was moody and could be very nasty and rude. She would never take any accountability for her actions and negligence that lead to damage in the yard by herself and the crew. It took a long time to recover from how awful the yard looked after using them, they are just the worst service we have ever had to deal with.
