Bernard is honest and I know he doesn't overcharge for his services. I would definitely recommend giving him a call if you need landscaping done.

ZERO STARS!!! I…read moredon't demand a lot: communication, fairness, professionalism. This company fell short on ALL counts!!! On August 18th, Paul came out to look at the work I needed done: a repair and rebuild of a decomposed granite path that had eroded in my backyard. He took measurements and we discussed the details of the work to be performed. By August 21st, I had not yet received a quote, so I reached out to Michelle in their office. SIX DAYS LATER, on August 27th, I was copied on an email from Michelle to Paul requesting the info from the site visit so that she could prepare a quote. I received a quote the following day, Aug 28th, signed it and sent it back the next day. Expecting to be notified that they had received my signed bid and to schedule the work, I was annoyed that I had to reach out to THEM on Sept 4th for an update. I HEARD NOTHING IN RESPONSE! So, I pinged them again on Sept 12th. This time, I received a reply apologizing for the delay and some BS about a new scheduling system. I was told that my job was added to the work list, and that the team had been notified asking for an estimated start date. Here we are, two weeks later, and I have heard absolutely NOTHING from them!! I am forced now to start the process over and find another contractor to do the work. ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC customer service. The lack of communication is inexcusable!!!

Of the other two appointment, one of them did not even send me a proposal after promising me he would. I wanted to have a few proposals before I choose a company so I called a few more. I ended up going with Bay Area Greenscapes and I could not be happier. They were on time to the initial appointment, and Wayne spent a lot of time explaining the process. I was not sure what I wanted but Wayne had some great ideas and was an enormous help. The proposal was timely and was easy to read. They showed up when they said they would and my yard is now the talk of my street. These guys were so courteous and left my job clean everyday. I would highly recommend Bay Area Greenscapes.

We are definitely looking forward to continuing to work with them on the next phase of transforming our yard! We highly refer and recommend working with them for your projects!

Not only did the workers leave early every week and text while working, they did not properly…read moreirrigate, fertilize or prune the landscape and as a result almost killed the boxwoods and other hedges. They would also eat lunch during my time using a propane stove under the tree and left their aluminum foil lunch refuse on the ground afterwards. But if that is not all enough I paid them thousands of dollars to properly irrigate our trees but instead of finishing the job they left the water line unconnected to spill freely for months. They neglected the Oleander hedge as the water line was crimped and the hedge received no water for months. When I complained to them they did not care. When I fired them they sent me another invoice for work I had completed and paid for months earlier. I feel like a fool for trusting them.

We've used them for landscaping for five years. At first, they were attentive to the plants and…read moremaintenance. But for the past two-and-half years, we have been paying for basically leaf blowing--leaves blown into a corner, which blows right back again. The oak leaves collect in planted areas and their toxicity kills the plants. They told us this when we had to replace dead bushes a fourth time -- only then did they say this. The site manager rarely comes and the leaf blowers aren't trained to check the plants or irrigation system. One time, the irrigation had been broken for four months. A quarter of our plants died. Another time, the sprinkler heads were clogged and another large area of the garden died and no one seemed to notice. We have always had to point this out. They promised to replace the plants but it's never been "the right season to do it"--for two years, it has never been "the right season." We repeatedly asked them to trim the giant rosebush and each time, we were told it was not the right time--until it collapsed and nearly tore off our terrace. They did take it upon themselves to trim the hedge of ivy we'd been growing for five years to conceal the house next door. It nearly covered the fence. Then they trimmed it back to the wire--so that we have a direct view of the house next door. They told us, "it will grow back." The vines on another fence were finally starting to grow and bloom, providing us with some coverage, but the leaf blowers started to cut that back to the wire before we told them to stop before they ruined all of them. They once hacked all the plants on the patio to stubs. Rows of small bushes have died and no one seems to notice. Infestations go unnoticed; lemon tree leaves have turned yellow from lack of fertilizer and we have had to point this out. Last straw: a leak in the irrigation system and a $3000 water bill. I told a friend about my dissatisfaction and she said she was not surprised. She fired them a few years ago because she got basically the same attention and they also installed the wrong plants. She said another person she know also had bad experiences with inexperienced crews who basically did leaf blowing and bad pruning. Some crews may be good, but if you see neglect or incompetence, switch to a landscape service that will at least make sure the plants are watered and don't die. Wish I had not give them second and third chances. It will cost us thousands to fix our garden.

And his team really can do anything -- create patios, woodwork, planting, cement work, stuff with big stones -- you name it. And he's just a cheerful and friendly guy, too. I've been absolutely thrilled and I find myself asking him to fix more and more small details around the yard because now I see how good it can look! You can't go wrong with Roots 'n Shoots.
