It wasn't a complex job, but the the site was a giant mess, with a lot of overgrowth and debris. Michael's bid was well within my budget, and he was able to schedule the job for a time that was convenient for me. He also offered clear explanations about why the work would best be done a certain way. When it came to the work itself, his crew was outstanding. They arrived on time, kept on schedule, and cleaned up the site at the end of every work day. I have never seen such an organized, well managed job site. They were truly exemplary in all respects, but especially in regards to the quality of their work. When it comes time to replace my fence, my patio cover, or my driveway, I will definitely call Michael.

We had an excellent experience with Pacific Landscaping and Maintenance from beginning to end…read more Michael arrived on time for our initial appointment, and his estimate was the most competitive we received without cutting any corners. In fact, his proposal included everything needed to properly prepare and establish a healthy lawn, while other estimates we received were significantly more expensive and included less. Michael recommended St. Augustine grass because we have a large dog, and within a week, his team was ready to start the project. He explained the entire process ahead of time and gave me detailed guidance about the watering schedule, mowing schedule, and recommended equipment for maintaining the new lawn. The crew was amazing--efficient, professional, polite, and extremely hardworking. Carlos, the crew lead, was especially impressive. He is calm, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. He listened carefully to every concern I had and made sure everything was addressed properly. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and they even installed a fence that we provided to protect the new lawn from foot traffic and our dog while it gets established. The finished lawn looks absolutely beautiful. The new sprinkler system is quiet, efficient, and works perfectly. They used new, quality materials and clearly did not cut corners anywhere in the project. After comparing several companies and estimates, I am very happy that we chose Pacific Landscaping and Maintenance. We received a better, more complete project at a very competitive price. Michael, Carlos, and the entire crew exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them!

I also want to thank Eric and his team for the hard work they put into my yard, it really paid off. I definitely believe I got my money's worth. I went for Sod instead of turf, it was my preference for my back yard and I believe it was a great choice! Definitely would call again!

We recently contracted Rock N Block to remove planters for pavers, move a gas line and build a…read morebarbecue outdoor counter. Aaron was our sales contact, and he answered all my questions before I signed which made us feel good about using them and had some good suggestions. Their model of doing whatever we need and mixing with what other contractors we use is great; we for example purchased a quartzite slab for the kitchen and Rock N Block did the rest. The prices were very reasonable as well, and looking at the end product I think it was a great deal. The rest of the team, Alexis and Jose, did a great job keeping us updated and keeping our property clean. I'm not sure who the guys were that did the counter build, I think it was someone and his two adult kids, but they did an incredible job and it seemed like they took the time to do quality work. The rest of the project ran into some difficulty with the electrical hookup and gas move, but Jose still got the work done on time and worked well with our countertop fabricator to coordinate what they needed and when to install Overall went really well and would recommend them for any sort of hardscape project.

After searching for a contractor that was reliable and reasonably priced, we came across Cal South…read more Mike and his team built our retaining wall exactly how we envisioned it back in 2024. 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!

Our neighbor used their service to replace our common fence and do their hardscaping. We paid for…read morepart of this fence. When they replaced the fence (between us and our neighbor), they did not put the fence back in its original position, leaving a gap on the ground on our side of the fence which is very ugly. Also they undid/pulled out part of our turf (which they said went over the neighbor's side) - they did not ask for permission or talk to us ahead of time before they did this and changed our hardscape design. They just pulled it out and cut part of it. When they put the turf back, it was so uneven and poorly placed back, like they do not know what they were doing. It was now bumpy and not of the same height as the other side (it was slightly curved downward prior) now it is more flat. We notified our neighbors about this but nothing was done to fix it. This company is very unprofessional and would not recommend.

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.

I did some searching and, after visiting this location, I was not let down. This recycling business is located in the heart of the industrial area of Chula Vista on Main Street. The location is simple to get to and the entrance is not complicated. The owners definitely run a tight ship operation and work so efficiently. I have yet to encounter a long wait time either since I have started to visit. The business pays out very friendly returns for glass, plastic and aluminum items. The customer service is impeccable and welcoming. Also, the set up in the parking lot is very organized. The area where the customers obtain the baskets and trash cans to start filling up their recyclables has an easy access, and there are plenty of barrels to go around. The parking lot is shared with other businesses in the vicinity, however, I guarantee that you will not be parking far away or complaining about the lot being crowded. Furthermore, if you receive the Clipp coupon booklet, look inside for their totally wicked offers! I always clip it and hand it to the employee, physically (I believe that may be the only method.) Lastly, I did see a Yelp! badge located at their front window cashier area that indicated they were the best reviewed Recycling Center too!
