If there's an individual who best personifies sustainable landscape practices, permaculture, it's…read moreMike: Unique's, well, rather unique owner. Straightaway, his MO is the antithesis of transactional; it's more zen, quietly high-minded, if you will. A community shaping healthy ecosystems come way before commerce. If you're lucky, you meet Mike. If time allows maybe you get to know him: the little boy he's a caretaker to. The Roadrunner Mike shares his breakfast with. The down-on-their-luck types he's given shelter to. Perhaps someone might've referenced his Saturday radio program. (Mike won't, given his humility.) Or, his Wednesday assistant happens to gift you half a dozen brown and green eggs from the hen who roams the yard. Then it begins to dawn what an honest-to-goodness treasure we have. That is if you get it. Apparently half the Yelp posters don't. Just like our very environs, Mike shouldn't bend to your needs. An issue cited by a couple reviewers--the scattershot hours Mike keeps; "the gate always closed"--is a nonstarter. That owes itself to a 60-something who's forever hustling; taking care of people. Hauling down to San Diego, or up to the Central Valley for increasingly harder-to-find healthy trees. Locals know: When immersing in a desert landscape, patience, being mindful, not to mention showing respect for surroundings allows the beauty to emerge. The payoff comes your way. Without doubt, the same can be said of Mike and Unique.

I wasn't sure what to expect since the reviews seem to be all over the place... but wow what a gem!…read moreIf you want orderly plants all in a row sparkling in plastic perfection like Home Depot, maybe you should go to Home Depot. This is for the folks who like a treasure hunt, maybe the folks who love thrift stores and vintage cars, and see beauty in diversity. Yep, it's a little bit messy, but staffing shortages abound everywhere and here is no exception. We used a gift certificate to pick out a few apple trees and a bunch of sages and other things, which all looked a bit rough around the edges because of the season. Once they got settled in at home they're all thriving, and one sage has even re-bloomed way ahead of schedule. I'm so glad we visited, it was such a treat to see this little oasis!

We had ArborPro come out and update/fix an irrigation system in summer 2022. We mostly interacted…read morewith Taylor. They appeared to be quite knowledgeable, opinionated, no-nonsense and professional and did their work, showing up on time for all appointments and work. They went over the work and what they were doing and, when hitting the inevitable snags, seemed to be transparent when describing the issues involved. In November and December 2022, we attempted to contact them. After at least seven attempts at communication via email, text messages, Mike responded. He said that Taylor had left the company and that they were short-handed (Dec 20 2022). Hopefully they can get some more employees soon.

This was the worst experience I have had. I first paid him 4600 to paint my decking. I thought it…read morewas expensive but I had gotten three quotes. And he was reasonable. Shortly after it was complete we noticed some area where the paint was coming up and pealing. He then came out to say he could fix it but it would cost me another 2000. So now I am out about 6000 plus and it still is not right it clean. I would not recommend them to anyone.

The…read morelady told me they have both round and square tables and the square table w/8 chairs rents for $15.00 a day. I asked if they could deliver Wednesday and pick up Friday she said yes, however I would be charged $30.00 for two day rental. I agreed and she asked if 11am Wednesday delivery is good and I confirmed yes, it's perfect. I asked when and how to submit payment she said I could Zelle or pay cash upon delivery and I said "great I can do that". I called her back 2pm on Wednesday left a voicemail that my 11am delivery hadn't showed up yet and please call me back ASAP. I left my name, number, the lady's name I made the reservation with and the rental description. NO BODY BOTHERED CALLING ME BACK! Now I understand why nobody rents from Rosa's and why there is only one review prior to mine and it's probably the owner giving herself a 5 star review. Don't let yourself get caught hanging on the day of your gathering, call PENA'S BRIDAL & PARTY RENTALS (760) 365-536. *****DON'T RENT FROM ROSA'S PARTY RENTALS!
