Malcolm, Thank you for reaching out to Johnny's for your landscaping needs. Are you looking for a quote for a one time clean up or a one time clean up and recurring maintenance service? regards, Duy Tran This was my reply: Due Tran, There is no clean up needed. The house has been maintained by my regular gardener but he is retiring. I need a regular recurring service. Malcolm Jarvis This was his reply: Malcolm, We can provide bi-weekly landscape maintenance services for this property for $65 per visit. Please let me know if you'd like to proceed with scheduling the services by providing your full name, email address, and service address. I will send over a proposal for your review and signature. Thank you, Duy Tran This was my reply: Duy, There is very little maintenance required and I am looking for once a month at a reasonable price. Malcolm This was his reply: We can provide once every 4 week service at your property for $95 per visit. This was my reply: Duy, Thank you for getting back to me and working with me. I would like you to visit the property so we can discuss what you will do once every 4 weeks for $95 per. I am available to meet tomorrow, Wednesday, anytime from 10:30 - 1:00, Thursday from 8:00 - 2:00 and Friday 8:00 - 11:00 and 1:30 - 5:00. This was his reply: Malcolm - I just reviewed my routes and my La Mesa routes are completely full with a wait list. I wish you the best of luck on your search for a landscaper. My Thought: If this doesn't sound fishy to you I don't know what would!! I would not trust this guy and I DEFINITELY would not give him any money upfront.

My partner reached out to Johnny's for an estimate on weed removal on a Tuesday, we have a small…read moreback and front yard. She received a quote and sent me the phone # to schedule since she was busy at work. I reached out, sent photos, and awaited a response. The person I was texting asked if we were looking for reoccurring service or the one time weed removal when I replied requesting just one time service I didn't hear back. I texted again requesting an estimate, no response. Texted again the next day on Wednesday and they finally requested my information. I sent my info, received an email to sign an estimate agreement and after signing and sending it right back I received no response. I texted back that we would be going with a different service who was able to schedule us in. I'm usually really patient but the lack of communication is what bothered me. They were quick to reach back out after sending initial photos but after I opted for a one time service instead of reoccurring services is when I stopped hearing back so quickly. No shade at all if a business doesn't want to offer their services or prefers bigger projects but I would have appreciated better transparency and communication. I'm sure others have had more positive experiences but for me personally I wouldn't recommend this business. I believe in treating every customer with the same respect and willingness to communicate regardless of project size.

Angel was excellent with communication--always quick to respond by text throughout the day and even into the evening. Their pricing was very competitive, and they worked with us to stay within our budget. Our vision for the backyard changed a few times, but Angel was flexible, patient, and offered thoughtful suggestions that made the space more functional and family-friendly for our two young girls. He was also very considerate of our schedule as parents of small children. A few months after the installation, we had a minor issue with the turf, and Angel was just as responsive and communicative as he was during the project. That level of customer service really stood out.

Green Turf was referred to me by my neighbor.  He and I have worked together on other various yard improvement plans and since he carefully looks into company's he hires, I took advantage of his recommendation.  The workers are their employees, they do not outsource. When we first started planning, I wasn't sure how I wanted to proceed regarding what type of a patio I wanted and how I wanted the turf to be placed.  Jose worked with me and gave me some good ideas.  There was no rush or pressure and we took our time to make sure the plans were to my liking. When they started the job, the workers arrived on time everyday and they clearly knew what they were doing.  Since I am retired, I watched a lot.  They worked hard even though the days were quite warm, and yes, I gave them water and Gatorade. As they did the job, there were a few details I questioned about and I requested adjustments.  They handled these easily and quickly. When they were about finished, they handled the clean-up very well and even took care of a few things that were not planned. The whole job took about 10 days to complete.  During a final inspection, there were a couple more adjustments needed so they handled those as well. I am very satisfied with the patio floor as well as the astroturf. I will use Green Turf for my future needs.

We then hired them to completely demo and remodel our front and back yard a year later. We provided the plan and Mike added some ideas through his experience to make our vision come to life. He stayed flexible during the whole process and maintained communication so we were always in the loop! Mike prides himself on the quality of his work and it shows. Work completed by CalSouth: - complete demo - retaining wall - all form work and concrete pours - dg, rock, flagstone, sod, and mulch install - installed post for sail shades - planted plants we provided - irrigation for our lawn and raised beds We would recommend CalSouth to anyone that has landscaping needs!

Highly recommend! That could be the end of this review! But read on to find out why…read more We initially worked with a landscape architect. We liked the ideas the architect offered but not the cost as quoted by the contractor the architect referred us to. So we decided to contract our own specialists - act as our own general contractor. SD Paverscapes was one of three paver contractors we contacted. Luis was quick to respond and listened to our ideas. He provided us with a plan we loved and a price we could handle. The installation crew was absolutely first rate. It was a pleasure to watch craftsmen apply their skills! The result is fabulous! Honestly, it turned out better than we had imagined! As with ALL contractors, you - as the client - need to always be communicating with Luis. We made slight modifications to our original plan as the work progressed, but they all were fine because we were in constant dialog with Luis.

No regrets going with Luis and will not hesitate to reach out to him when we want to start our next big landscaping project. Also a bonus that his estimate was much more reasonable than other companies we contacted.

We met with four different companies and received quotes from each, but we either weren't confident in their work or just didn't feel they were the right fit until we met with JG Lawns. Craig came out to provide a free estimate and was brutally honest LOL. He never tried to oversell us or promise things that weren't realistic.  His personality and knowledge earned our trust, and combined with fair pricing, made our final decision to move forward with this company. Our project was originally expected to take about a week, but due to issues with choosing pavements and the paving company shipping the wrong materials, it ended up taking about a month. Even with the unexpected delay, Eric and Jesus (his dad) were fantastic throughout the entire process. They kept us updated every step of the way, explained any changes, and always made sure we were comfortable with the plan before moving forward. Their crew worked incredibly hard every single day. They treated our home with respect, paid attention to every detail, and always cleaned up before leaving for the day. Their pride in their work definitely shows in the finished product. We couldn't be happier with how our backyard turned out. It exceeded our expectations and has completely transformed our outdoor space. We would definitely recommend this company to anybody seeking turf and redo their yard. We are so glad we chose them.
