We used Black Rock landscape to install our irrigation system, and they did a great job. However,…read morewe had spoken to them months ago about landscaping our front yard, and eventually our back yard. They said they'd be available by August 2017 to do the work. They ended up blowing us off, returned only one phone call out of many, and never followed through. From what I can gather from this conduct is that they never intended to do the work in the first place. I could be incorrect about this, but their conduct speaks for itself. Ultimately it wasted our time when we could have hired someone else to do the work. We are very disappointed and never expected this treatment. We had preferred them b/c they know the irrigation system, and would be unlikely to damage it when landscaping the yard. Also, their prices are reasonable. Again, very unfortunate and unnecessary! We have experienced better, but not in Chico, CA where we currently reside.

While Paradise is being rebuilt, I've joined my husband to help with his work a few times. Out in the field, we only use these porta potties. I'm truly amazed at how sparkling clean and fresh smelling they are and how they put gas station bathrooms to shame! I read the stickers inside that show the last time they've been cleaned, and they are always recent. So they're never out of tp or antibacterial foam/soap. I truly appreciate this while people are working out in the field. I've seen the devastation in Paradise, and now beautiful homes are being built, and cute rabbits and squirrels running around. The people are always friendly too. And resilient, of course. Stay strong, Paradise! Back to Johnny on the Spot - simply the best porta potties out there!

Upscale Painting granted my kitchen a new lease on life!…read more I recently purchased a newer home with attractive cabinetry - based off of the listing photos. When viewing in person, I could see the extensive scratching and water damage. While I wasn't averse to the existing finish, I figured that a refresh was needed. While interviewing painters to do the job, it was a challenge to find companies willing to do cabinetry. The process is a lot more tedious and time-consuming than a standard wall and I had quite a few local companies straight-up tell me "no." Of those who did come out to give bids, I feel as though Upscale stood out the greatest. From the start, I could see that Aaron was passionate about taking on the job. He was prompt with getting back to me, came out the same day, was friendly, and quickly got back to me with a rate - which was coincidentally the lowest of the six companies I received estimates from. I wouldn't say the rate was a steal, but was definitely justifiable for the work performed. Aaron and crew cranked the work out in the course of two days. They were able to transform the cabinetry in my kitchen and my largest bathroom remarkably. I was in awe over their promptness and attention to detail. Not only that, but they were able to seamlessly work on the one day Chico encountered a wild rainstorm. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. The finished product is wonderful and my cabinets look brand new. Thanks to Aaron and crew for the solid work!

I got a call from him letting me know they had another job starting in a week or two that would keep them busy through the start of the new year. If I want them to do my yard before then they would need to start asap and the job would take a week. We started w/o any written contract and only a rough $$ estimate. We made decisions along the way. They took twice as long, and a lot of down time due to various resource issues. They did a good job and I was happy with the result, until spring when about 40% of the plants did not take root through winter and were dead by spring. When I called Tom about that his response was a curt I only guarantee the plants, I can't remember if it was 6 weeks or 3 months, but the time had passed and he offered nothing for a resolution. That's a lot of plants and $$$ and hardly seems fair since it was his recommendation to plant in November to ensure nice growth for spring and strong plants that can tolerate summer and you don't at least guarantee they will be taking off come spring. That was the last time I talked to him since he didn't seem to care that so many plants died. A few more have died and never really thrived. While others in the same location with the same watering requirements etc., thrive. So it's not neglect on my part.

While TOM Foster of Aqua Terra Landscaping is a knowledgeable and capable landscaper, beware of…read moregetting any and all agreements in writing including his costs and invoices. TOM Foster was the only available landscaper at a time when I was ready and able to fix up my sad-looking yards. The first time I met Tom, he drove to my house and took a cursory glance at my front and back yards. He then gave me estimates of "$30K for the front and $50K for the back." My front yard was terrible shape; in sore need of clean-up and attention. At that time I could not find another landscaping service willing to even give me an estimate. I knew little to nothing about landscaping costs let alone gardening and plants. I hired TOM based on his availability. I told TOM I knew nothing about plants and gardening. After hiring TOM he met with me semi-weekly to discuss landscape design possibilities. At each meeting I told TOM that $20-$25K was my maximum budget and available funds. Tom had shown me a rather elaborate yard design with many different plants, shrubs, trees as well as hard landscaping walkways and beds. I implored Tom to reassure me that his design could be achieved for less than $25K. I had grown fond of TOM's affable character and seeming trustworthiness. He rattled off the Latin names for plants to impress me with his thorough knowledge of botany and landscaping. He also promised me that, " If ANY OF MY PLANTINGS DIE, I WILL REPLACE THEM AT NO ADDITIONAL COST to you." While TOM beautified my yard, he did so at a cost that came in at over 100% above my stated budget. $40,000! After I finally told TOM that there was no money left, I never saw him again. Several plantings failed. The most critical of all the failed plantings were over 2 dozen decorative lavender plants he had installed along both sides of a new cement walk way TOM contracted with a buddy to pour. Tom installed a separate, designated underground series of watering pipes or designated irrigation system for all those decorative lavender plantings. The lavender plants died within months. I asked several gardeners to look at and access the cause for my loss. Each said that the plants were too wet from over-watering. I told ToM that the lavender was dying from being overwatered. I believe that TOM had not factored in that any kind of wind or slight breeze would spill water into the lavender from the adjacent lawn sprinklers. So, with Tom's specially installed underground irrigation for the lavender in addition to water spillage from the lawn sprinklers the plants were dying. TOM Foster refused to accept or believe that he had made a miscalculation aka "a mistake." And, despite his promise to replace any failed plantings at no cost, Tom charged me $750 for a new set of lavender plants to replace the dead ones. Tom insisted that the dead lavender (among other plantings he had put in) was somehow my fault. I payed TOM to replace the lavender based on my assumption that he was the professional and hence knew best. Then all the REPLACEMENT lavenders plants also died...quickly. I showed TOM that lavender plants which weren't situated near the new lawn sprinklers were thriving. TOM refused to admit that his irrigation systems were at fault. I quit the whole lavender fiasco after a third attempt at replacing them. Every time a plant or plants died I would text TOM to let him know so that he could make good on his promise to replace any failed landscaping "at no additional cost" I soon grew exasperated by Tom not responding; not even to tell me he was too busy but would get back to me. Several months passed without response from Tom to any of my texts. I grew exasperated with his lack of action and response on top of my frustration and cost with regard the failed lavender, (TOM told me that I was at fault for all his failed and continuing-to-fail lavender plantings). Finally I sent Tom a snarky text alerting him to the fact that the dead plants were still "d-e-a-d." TOM took offense to this text and responded with, "Cease and desist..." He said that my texted pleas were derogatory. He later apologized for saying that but at the time, I was shocked and ended up in tears. I let him know how hurt I felt. Tom continued to send abusive texts accusing me of being the root cause, (it was always my fault) Add childish name-calling statements (which he later apologized for) His reaction was more than unprofessional, it was abusive and Wrong. So, Tom knows a lot about plants and landscaping. But, watch out for being over charged. Do not take him at his word. Tom puts on a very charming and affable front BUT the guy is a bully. He refuses to admit his errors. TOM has issues with telling the truth and/or keeping his word. Watch out for your bottom line! Insist on a signed contract. No handshake agreements. TOM twice gave me invoices showing only a total owed. He had told me that his "printer was broken." That one is on me. I should have known better.
