We did an appointment and he got here on time and had it done in one day. It looks great and he even honored the price we agreed on in September even though everything got more expensive! He is very knowledgeable about plants and design, rocks, etc. Reliable, very honest and a man of his word. Highly recommended and we will hire him again for sure. Thank you, Derek! Before and after pic below!

I am sad to write this unfortunate review on a local business, but I have to share my experiences…read moreover the past 10 months with Alain and his business. Overall: He has good prices, but lost my trust as he failed to show up and took advantage of my not being in the same city as the property I asked for lawn maintenance. I sincerely hope he will learn to do better even though he didn't do right by me. *First impression* As you can read from my first review, I was really impressed with my first experience with him. He asked for a review immediately for the other company name EZ Yards, but said he had some issue with Yelp account. He responded timely and did the job amazingly. I requested lawn maintenance (hedges and mow the lawn) every two months (he insisted on monthly - I obliged bc it's small business) on my parents' property in a different city than where I live. I needed a business I could trust that would do the job and do it well. My parents are getting older and Alain seemed to understand the importance of family. And I've been taken for a ride! *The long game* I was very impressed the second time he came when I wasn't in the city because this time before asking for payment he sent pictures. *Red flags I should've noticed* - He insisted monthly maintenance, but instead came when he could. - I would receive text messages saying he was going to the property thinking he would show up only for another one to come the next week saying he was definitely going. - He never sent pictures to prove the maintenance was done, but again I thought I could trust him. *Chances Upon Chances* One of his services said he could cut tree branches. So I asked if he could trim some branches. I sent him pictures of the tree I wanted cut. He said that if he hauled them away it would be extra so it would be cheaper to leave it for the city to pick up. I told him where the city would pick up and even sent him a picture. I came to check on the property to find the tree was poorly cut and the branches left in the wrong spot. I didn't mind the tree, but told him he placed the branches in the wrong area. He said he would show up that day to move them. Then, he said he would show up the next day. He never showed. Instead, I had to move the branches myself with my older mother in the rain to avoid a citation from the city. Despite this I wanted to give him another chance, he shared with me that he had something come up with his family. He wasn't specific, but I decided to give him another chance bc of how much I love and care for my family. *The Last Experience* End of April 2021/Beginning of May 2021: I asked if he could go to the property and cut the lawn and hedges (regular lawn maintenance) bc we got a citation from the city. He said he would get to our property but it's taking him time bc he landed a big contract. Regardless, he said he cut it and asked me for $60 I came to visit my parents for Mother's Day weekend just to find that the bushes were not cut and the edges where the grass meets cement or the house were over a foot tall. I sent him pictures and circled the areas. He didn't respond. I had to text him again asked for an explanation. His response exactly: "My. Weed whacked broke on the spot." I asked about the hedges and he never responded. I don't understand why ask for money when you didn't do the job bc your machine broke? Why not tell me? My only guess is bc he knew I dont live in the same city and can only visit when I can. He never apologized nor did he say I'll come back and do it. He never offered to refund my money. I thought that he wouldn't want to lose consistent business so I was hoping he would apologize but here we are in the middle of June and I haven't heard a thing. We live in a time where trust is easily broken. It's hard to find people and business to trust. I trusted this man. I truly did, and I feel nothing short but taken advantage of. *Why then am I giving him two stars instead of one?* Bc I know deep down he is a good man. I think if you live on the property and can see the job he does immediately; He won't take advantage of you. *Use my review as a notice of caution* I want his business to succeed and maybe it's growing at an exponential rate that he can't keep up. He would rather choose businesses that offer more money than a residential home that's essentially lowering hanging fruit. Perhaps, if you go into business with him you too might want a contract. I've learned my lesson. I hope he will do better. I wish him the best, and I will fight for my money refunded from the bank.

I was very specific that the roots needed to be out as well, since I was not there that day I asked how it was going and was told that all was complete, I asked once again if the roots were out and was told that they are absolutely out. I paid them in full and even gave extra tip. Once I came home I noticed that the roots are not out, I reached out and no answer, I reached out few more times and sent the video showing that the job wasn't completed with no answer. Sad part is that I would have given them more projects if only they stood behind what was promised.

My Search Started to come up with Bayamito & Sons. Michael the Owner came out to do the Assessment with a Coconut Removal Quote and a Whole Tree Removal Quote. Since the Coconuts were Straight Over our Roof and Falling we decided the Removal was right decision. They Guaranteed Full Stump Removal and since the Job was being done right before Bulk Trash we saved on "Tree Removable Take-Away". While in the Process of Removing the Coconut Palm we decided to take out a couple of Rotting Palms on Property as they were Slowly on a Disintegrating Process. The Guarantee was to have ALL Stumps Removed as we Explained we will be Re-Planting in the Removed Areas. The Coconut Tree was taken down, piece by piece.. The Palm were Removed.. BUT the Stumps still Remained in All Areas. After "Removal" it was a Huge Struggle to Replant as the Stumps were Clearly still there. Extra ExTRa Work to Fully Remove.. Also, while picking-up items around the Yard the BobCat Broke one of our Sprinkler Lines. Left for us to deal with the Aftermath.. After all said and done, not the Best Experience but the Job got Done atleast with the Tree Removal.

So First off, I believe these review sites are worthwhile and that an honest review helps all…read moreparties. So this review will be unbiased and 100% honest. First lets start with the good! Project was fairly large, not hundreds of thousands of dollars but weeks of work and multiple tens of thousands. We interviewed about 6 landscapers over a 4 month period. 2 of them never showed up or failed to deliver a quote. 1 insisted we needed $120k+ to achieve our goals, 1 wanted to work without any permits. Two were reasonable, worked within the law, and responsive. Of course Carlos at Ponderosa Landscaping was one of those. We agreed on a target budget (but this was not a hard number) and Carlos went to work. About a week later I received some digital renderings of his idea and an estimated project cost, just about $2500 over what we asked, and options to bring it down in cost if needed. Another important note, during this week waiting for "photos" I did receive a follow up message stating he was behind schedule but has not forgotten about us. We agreed on the project and got started, We worked with Cory as a supervisor for most of the project, he was very attentive to the details and made any changes we needed promptly without issue. Guys worked nearly every day M-F and some Saturdays for about 3 weeks. We were given notice prior to their arrival every week and prior to any major events such as driveway pours. Of course, changes were made and questions occurred during the project. When these happened, I would text or call Carlos. He was quick to respond, never making me wait over 2-3 hours before I had an answer. Communication was fantastic considering Carlos is a busy contractor. Overall execution of the project, achieving our ideas/dreams within budget and communication gets 5* A+++. Now The areas to watch out for, Carlos's team has some junior members and supervisors are very busy. If you want perfection, you do need to review the site a few times a week and speak up. They are very responsive and will fix things on the spot, but with many guys being junior they may need direction from time to time to achieve your desired outcome. Also, Carlos and I talked about many many things, however not all of them made it into the proposal. Carlos followed the proposal to the T, so things that we decided to "add back" were added at a very reasonable additional cost. Watch your proposal closely and make sure everything you desire is there upon agreeance. We ended up above our agreed amount by about $4000, No issues here on our part, we were very happy and made changes along the way. But if your budget is tight this is something to watch for. Now the only big area that needed to be improved. We agreed to split this project into 3 payments. 1/3 for downpayment and material purchase, 1/3 upon commencement, and 1/3 upon completion. Two of these 3 payments were charged without any notice. As they were very large payments, they put me very close to exceeding credit card limits. While this was not a problem for us, it was annoying and could definitely be improved on in the future. However, if this is the worst you have to deal with concerning a contractor you are definitely winning!!!! Just discuss billing very specifically during your contract agreement. No project this size goes perfect. Upon finishing we had 3 or 4 concerns that Carlos quickly took care of. There was slight damage to both neighbor's front yard (some grass torn up by the tractor and a rock drive messed up by concrete wash water). Carlos was always VERY accountable to mistakes and fixed them promptly without charge. Truly a refreshing and pleasant experience earning him points by everyone in the neighborhood. This project was incredibly fun to watch come to life, completely transformed our property and will be enjoying it for years to come. I would not hesitate to recommend Ponderosa Landscape and Carlos to friends or Family or to hire him again for my next project! Truly a 5* experience!

Ponderosa Landscaping last year redid my backyard drain so that it would go to the front of the house when we would have heavy rain. I have never seen a team so hard. And the work was five stars. And they were very reasonable and communicative. Later, I couldn't find the pop-up drain in the front of the house because the grass had grown over it and I texted the company. Within 24 hours they were over at the house just to help me. I rarely see a company that works so hard to keep the relationship going. If you need any kind of drain work, this is the only company you should be calling.
