Saw this truck tailgating, cutting 10+ cars off by turning from a center lane into a busy right turn lane, all after he wouldn't let me in from a merge, of course. If you're going to advertise your business on your truck, I'd recommend driving safer and more courteously! read more

Torres Landscaping did an AMAZING job installing an interlocking paver pathway in our back yard! The pathway is beautiful and very well constructed (see photos). Antonio and Salvador put in concrete borders (with rebar) to stabilize the path edges and contain the base rock, carefully fit and aligned the pavers, mortared in the outside (sailor) courses, precisely cut pavers to fill in irregular places in complicated parts of the path, and vibrated in polyermic sand as a final step to prevent washout and minimize weed growth. Also, communication with Torres management (Gerardo and Graciela) has been excellent throughout the project, to make sure that costs were carefully scoped out and that we would be happy with the finished product. Considering the quality of the finished product, the cost was quite reasonable. I could not be happier with their work, and highly reccomended Torres Landscaping! read more

This was one of the first service providers we hired when we bought our house back in 2016. Unfortunately, their prices have increased but their quality of service has decreased over time. We are disappointed that we've had to switch to another landscaping team recently. read more

We've been working with Torres Landscaping for over a year now. We did a one time yard cleanup initially and then have scheduled them for biweekly maintenance ever since. They are reliable, always coming on the scheduled day and leaving our front and back yards very tidy. They're also attentive. Graciela emails us with occasional reports of what the maintenance team sees that needs to be addressed and gives us a reasonable quote for the work. It's a great peace of mind and we're glad to work with them. read more

I was finally ready for Torres to come back for my front yard and gave them a call. They responded within the week and Omar came to get our initial thoughts and help us plan out what we wanted and were trying to do. They are busy, but once they were able to fit us into their schedule, the results were exactly what we wanted. Thanks again to Torres, Antonio and his crew, for doing quick work with great results! read more

3 times now I've been endangered by these drivers in La Honda. Recklessly endangered me on the road, nearly drove me off driving nearly double the speed in Woodside. I have footage of them also cutting me off on sand hill and forcing me to slam on the brakes and veer off onto the shoulder. Once I could chalk up to a bad day but this is now a pattern, and I'm frankly scared to live on the same mountain as them. They can't even stay in their own lane while driving. Will be reporting anywhere I can. I got a dash cam explicitly because of this dangerous behavior read more

How disappointing. I contacted Torres a week ago re: a complete installation of irrigation and landscaping in Redwood City for a client. I spoke about the details after the office returned my message. I emailed the company with the details that I had in writing and was expecting to be contacted to schedule a meeting and estimate appointment. Nothing. No call from the estimator. No email response. I called again this morning as this is now more urgent and had to give all the details again. THEN the office person stated that there was no availability until after March. What a waste of time. Just received a follow up call from another staff member who said she never said an estimator would call me and that she didn't receive my email. YES, my email was addressed to torreslandscaping and NOT torreslandscapinginc so that WAS my mistake. Is it too much to ask for a vendor to follow up? I had stated that I was traveling. I did explain the details of the project to her in my original phone call and was told that an "estimation" appointment would be necessary. I did explain that this was an urgent need. Why wasn't I told about their schedule on my original phone call? Further disappointment. read more

We were referred to Omar and Torres Landscaping by a dear friend when we were looking for a new gardener who could take care of our front/back garden on a weekly basis. I was immediately sold on the fact that he and his team could take care of weeding in addition to mowing and blowing. This would save me about 3 hours in the garden every month - sold! He gave us a quote and while it was double what our last gardener charged us (for the same amount of visits - 4x a month), we were confident that this was the right way to go. Their first visit to us was great. They cleaned up so much and made everything look really beautiful. And then, after a few "chat's" with my husband over the next few weeks, where Omar complained about there being more work than he had anticipated, he raised his monthly rate by $15. And then, about a month later, he raised it again by another $15. This, in addition to allowing their lawn mower to hit against our garage wall continually each week which caused about a 10 foot paint chipped line across our garage wall...has left a really not nice feeling. We are discontinuing our service with them as of this month. read more

Based on fellow yelpers, I called Torres Landscaping for a bid to either fix or replace my lawn that the raccoons tore up last year. I also had 2 other companies come out for bids. From the start, Omar seemed really friendly and made time to come out the next day to look at the lawn. He thought it might be salvageable over the phone, but once he saw it he said the cost would be the same either to try to save it or replace with sod. Omar was the only "bidder" who actually had a printed sheet with different grass types listed (bar charts covering different features & color pictures) and he recommended what people typically choose. I ended up choosing what was recommended after reading it. After selecting the grass, he e-mailed me a quote and I signed the contract. 4 days later, I had a brand new lawn. My lawn is smallish and they were done within 4 hours. This included removing the old lawn using pick axes, putting down new topsoil & blending it in, using a roller, & putting the topsoil on. Then he applied a grub repellent for the raccoons and reprogrammed my watering schedule, going over it with me. Then the best part, they totally cleaned up after themselves and if you didn't know they had come, you would not have known. ] Great service! Great job! Also, I am in the midst of an interior remodel and my contractor saw the work and wanted his number too. Yes, I'd use them again. read more

Found Torres Landscaping on Yelp & boy am I glad that I did! As the owner of Edible Urban Farm Company, we install organic vegetable gardens & we were looking to subcontract with a landscape team to come in & remove some lawn before we replaced it with veggies. From the initial quote call, to changing the scope of work, to the execution of the project - these guys were nothing but professional. Omar & his team were on-time and completed the project ahead of schedule. These guys will definitely be a go-to option for future subcontracting work! Founder & Farmer, Edible Urban Farm Company read more

Torres is the best!! Quality work, friendly and dependable. I have used them quite a few times and they really are amazing. Highly recommend and thanks to the team at Torres Landscaping. read more

(Omar) Torres Landscaping is a professional, polite, friendly and EXTREMELY hard working team. I have a new irrigation system including drip lines in the planter areas and a new front lawn. They leveled my yard removing tons of surfacing magnolia roots that had destroyed the old lawn and were threatening my house foundation. I can't say enough nice things about Graciela. She is professional and polite on the phone and responds to emails promptly. She is a real asset to their team. Thank You Torres Landscaping! I highly recommend Torres Landscaping. read more

I am updating this post because of my second, outstanding, experience with Torres Landscaping. Omar and his professional staff are amazing. Everything has been perfect with the service. I am now on my second home with them. I've been impressed with Omar's knowledge of flowers, plants, trees, irrigation systems, fencing, gravel and more. He is delightful to work with: articulate, accurate, and timely. His team is truly outstanding. Graciela, his assistant, always handles emails and phone calls with aplomb. Her name, after all, has "grace" in it! The guys that work on his team are friendly, hard working and just plain good. I highly recommend Torres Landscaping and I'm happy to provide a reference. read more

We were referred to Torres Landscaping by a friend who was really pleased with what they had done. We had several estimates by different landscapers. Ended up going with Torres because of our friend's referral. We used Torres Landscaping to help remove a patch of ivy (about 50' x 5') in front of our house leftover after removing an old fence, and in preparation for for a new fence. Their price was equivalent to others we got estimates from. Omar Torres (the owner) came to our house himself, took a look at what we wanted done, and provided a free estimate of his cost and the amount of time he thought it might take. He even squeezed us in among several other projects he had going on. We were kind of in a rush - my husband had procrastinated getting someone to remove the ivy, and the fence company was supposed to start construction of a new fence the following week. They took care of our ivy removal while we were at work. When we came home, it was all cleared away. Ivy is extremely difficult to remove. It basically needs to be removed my hand -- with a pick axe and shovel. Only problem was, they were also supposed to remove a few rose bushes, and the roses were still there. My husband apparently hadn't communicated that clearly enough. When Omar came by to pick up our check, he agreed to come back the next day and remove the rose bushes as well. Job completed exactly as we wanted. We're very happy with Torres, and plan to use them again when we have other landscaping tasks we can't handle on our own. They also do general landscaping, maintenance, sprinkler system installation and repair, planting, trimming, pruning, new lawns, flower beds, lighting, fence installation and repair, and more. Highly recommended if you're looking for a general landscaping contractor who is fast, efficient, and willing to do what you can't do yourself. They can also be reached at torreslandscapinginc@yahoo.com read more

I recently hired Torress Landscaping to replace an aging irrigation system, remove old grass and replace with new sod, add river rock in strategic places, etc. etc. They were excellent in all respects. They work together as a family team, used machinery and tools in an efficient way and were quiet in their approach. (no yelling, loud music, etc.) As an interior designer I visit many jobsites. I was pleased that they kept my yard neat and always cleaned up each day. (Not always evident on sites I visit.) I highly recommend this firm. Rise Krag - RKI Interior Design read more

The gentlemen from Torres Landscaping are the best!! They were doing some work in my neighborhood this morning when I asked them spontaneously if they could clean up my yard, that had several years worth of piled up leaves. At first Mr. Torres, I believe, advised he couldn't because he didn't have time. A short time later he knocked on my door and said he could do in. In about 15 minutes he blew my front and side yards. An amazing transformation. It would have taken me several days to do the same thing with my broom. And our yard now looks completely manicured. I am so grateful for the beautiful job he did. I would recommend this excellent landscaping company to anyone. read more

I have been using Torres Landscaping for weekly yard maintenance. Good at cleanup and "blow" but not the mow. My lawn is full of weeds & clover. They've never fertilized once altho their contract states they do. They mow grass down to the dirt so it can't even grow before they return, and I'm now paying them NOT to mow for weeks at a time! Killed two rose bushes in my front yard, and are terrible at pruning roses. Bushes are only pruned if I leave a note. In the past have set up 3 separate appointments with the manager, Gerardo, who no shows without even a phone call. Also failed to respond to my email asking for clarification of weed control service. Looking for new service now. Save yourself a lot of money and buy yourself a blower - you'll get the same level of service. read more

Omar and his team are amazing! After reading the list of Yelp reviews - I had to call! On time - fair with their estimates and they stick to budget. Crew is amazingly clean, left my yard spotless after several days of tree removal, trimming, fence repairs, etc. We will definitely have them back - looking forward to our next landscaping project! Thank you Omar & Crew! read more

Great experience. Contracted them to remove grass, add topsoil, and grade approximately half my front yard. Every interaction with them was positive, from first contact through job completion. Got a quick quote in writing and a copy of their contractor license and liability insurance as part of the quote/proposal. Will use again read more

Highlights- Excellent service and very thorough. Looks great! Good follow up. I recommend using Torres Landscaping for your landscaping, lawn maintenance, gardening needs. etc. read more

We have used Torres Landscaping for several projects and really enjoy working with them. They work really well for us because they are able to take on smaller jobs, as needed. They do quality/wonderful work and they really care. They are also easy to reach and super responsive throughout the entire process. read more

Wow just called them to get a quote for drainage and putting in a pad for a shed. She said they were not doing french drains at this time and had no one to recommends. I said I don't want a french drain but want the yard leveled. "we can't help with this bye" and she hung up. Not very professional never addressed the pad for the shed. read more

What a great team! Professional, responsive, and very organized. The crew did a backyard clean up for us - a project that lasted two days. They cleaned up the weeds, put in sod, and worked on the bricks. They got the job done quickly with excellent attention to detail. Graciela in the office is so organized, too, and she handles the paperwork side of the business and responds quickly. I was very impressed, and I'd hire them again in the future. (I did not know anything about them at all - I hired them based on a few Internet searches - and it all worked out!) I'd recommend them. read more

I scheduled an appointment for someone to come out and take a look at my yard to provide an estimate. The only hours they had available were during the day so I asked them to call me when they got to the house so I could walk them through what we were looking for. My mother-in-law was also there to let them in the backyard. Our scheduled time came and went with no call. When I got home I found out that they did come by, just didn't call. Alrighty. Then 2 days later we got an email saying they were declining to bid on our project. Are you kidding me? They didn't even know what we were looking for but they declined to bid? I'm impressed they are still in business with customer service like this. read more

My roommate and I used Torres Landscaping for yard work yesterday. They met and exceeded my expectations. We had received a quote first, and not only did Torres work with us on the price to fit our budget, they even did some extra little things after they finished just to make us happy. We hired them to clear out some debris from years of non-maintenance. They also cleaned the roof and gutters and trimmed a big redwood tree. The yard was spotless when they left and they also fixed three areas of the fence that were broken. I thought they would simply re-attach the broken parts but they actually installed a whole new post in one area and the fence is perfectly safe and suspended now. I will hire Torres again and I highly recommend them as an honest (and insured which is always good!) company. read more

Omar and his crew did an outstanding job. His bid was very fair. He was quick; showed up when he said he would, on time and did the work. I should hjave given him a bigger time. Next time I will. Redwood Shores - happy customer!! read more

Torres Landscaping did fantastic work. We wanted to clean up our front and back yards and add sod to both areas, so we got a couple quotes from local landscapers. Omar with Torres was responsive, professional, and knowledgable. He gave us a very competitive price, was able to start right away and knocked the work out quickly. The crew was polite and hard-working, and they went above and beyond to install extra irrigation zones and drip lines in areas that weren't even part of the scope. It's nice to find a contractor who cares about their customers and won't settle for less than their very best every time. Would definitely recommend!! read more

TORRES LANDSCAPING is FANTASTIC! We have had a lot of work done on our home recently and Omar was by far the standout as far as quality, price and integrity. I contacted him about 4 years ago to do some work in our front yard. He gave us a thorough and competitive bid but my husband and I never got around to getting the project started. Here we are 4 years later with the same project, just on a much larger scale. Omar spent so much time listening to my very picky to do list. The results have been far better than I could've ever imagined. His workers (who are all protected by work comp insurance) were excellent. We had our front and backyard completely renovated; new deck, new arbor, new grass and irrigation system, new french drains, new electrical, new lighting, new pavers, new planter boxes for raised gardens, it was a HUGE job. Did I mention that I was also on a deadline? I wanted everything completed for a party we were having. Omar and his team not only completed everything on time (10 days), but did it with a few days to spare! I really do my homework when it comes to researching contractors and I had a few bids for this job. Cal Native came and gave me a bid for the job and his price was $1500.00 more than Torres Landscaping but it DID NOT INCLUDE, the deck, the arbor, the 2 raised garden beds (6 feet each) or the 130 foot french drain! You cannot go wrong with these guys! I am so thankful to have gotten the recommendation from the San Carlos/Belmont Mother's Club! I have had numerous compliments on our yard and the Fed Ex guy told me that it was his favorite yard in San Carlos! I have since given many passerby/admirers Omar's info and our friends are about to use him for their big landscaping redo! I am always happy to see someone who is honest and hardworking succeed and it looks like Omar has succeeded in becoming a favorite among Yelpers and especially me! Thanks Omar and crew! read more

Omar and his crew are everything you could hope for in a landscaper. I cannot recommend him highly enough. First, he got detailed information about what we wanted. He confirmed details and then prepared a thorough and detailed proposal for the project. I asked him to break it down so I could see how much I was spending on each part of the project. He quickly provided me with the breakdown. We scheduled a start date and he showed up - on time. (that might not seem like a big deal but I've had so many people say they would start and then never showed up or called). He went over what his team was going to do, how long each phase would take and explained when each progress payment would be due. He completed the project on time and beautifully. He kept me informed, answered questions and promptly executed any tweaks I asked for. His team cleaned up each day and left the place in good shape. The project scaled back a little because the unavailability of some plants and so he calculated the difference and deducted it from the bill. His prices are very reasonable and I would hire him back in a heartbeat. read more

Omar, Graciela, Gil & others crew members certainly got our yards looking wonderful in a fast efficient, friendly & professional manner. Price was reasonable for the work to be done. Lawns, irrigation, plantings and plant selection. We'll be using their service again. Highly recommended. read more

Wow! Did Omar live up to his Yelp reviews!! He has on time, his crew outstanding and they put in a beautiful new lawn front and back in two days. I had two other bids and I am so happy that I used Omar. Professional from start to finish. read more

Omar Torres has that nice combination of knowing how to do the job well and also knowing how to show up close enough to on time and communicate with customers. He arrives when promised (or calls if will be late), emails when promised, and returns emails sent. The job was done well. We had old grass taken out, the ground roto-tilled and compost added, the ground regraded, and new grass sod put in. It was done perfectly and looks great! He and his men are polite and tidy. They were kind enough to wave many times to my extremely excited young children. His bid wasn't the highest or the lowest. I went with him because of positive yelp reviews and because I just thought he was a nice person who would be easy to work with. I would call him first if I ever had to have this type of work done again. read more

This company has been great to work with. We wanted to get lawn in our front garden. Omar came and quoted for the job. They were very reasonable and we decided to go with him since he really knew what he was talking about. The area is mostly shaded, so we needed special grass to cope with the lack of sun. Omar came with his guys and did the job while we were on holidays. It was a great surprise to come home and see such a wonderful job. The lady in the office is also great. We correspond via email if there is any issues, bills are sent via email also. Since then we have a weekly service to look after the whole property. The guys have sorted out the watering system, if I have plants that need to go in, they look after it. If I want a tree cut down, they do it. The grass looks great which makes the house look so much better. I would recommend this company to anyone. read more

These guys are seriously too good to be true. We had them come out first to do our backyard - a pretty simple job (new lawn, anti-weed fabric and new wood chips, a trellis against the fence, a few new fruit trees...). I got four different bids from local landscapers and definitely enjoyed talking with Omar the most - he really listened to what I wanted but also gave good suggestions, based on his experience. When the bids came in, Omar was substantially more affordable... For the price, we decided to risk having a sloppy job done, and it turns out that Omar and his crew were extremely responsible, thorough, courteous, and efficient. They even dug out an extra stump, no extra charge! So when we decided to overhaul our entire front yard, I didn't even call anyone else. Omar built me a new custom fence, put in a new lawn and a comprehensive irrigation system (sprinklers and drip, based on what was needed), and put in all new plantings in the front half of my lawn. He and his guys were here for an entire week, and I couldn't believe how efficient and friendly they were. My son loved watching them work, and they were always so kind to him. Now we have Torres Landscaping doing our yard maintenance, and I know they will keep it beautiful. I've recommended Omar to my mom, my sister, and my husband's boss... Need I say any more? read more

We wanted to redo our front yard with mostly lawn and some new plants, and one of the companies we called was Torres Landscaping based on their Yelp ratings. Omar's bid came in very competitive, but just as important he was very professional as far as describing what was included and not included. We hired him to do the job and we couldn't have been happier. Our yard looks fantastic! Our neighbors actually wrote us a hand-written note saying how great they thought it looked. Since then, we've had Omar's crew do biweekly maintenance on both our front and back yards and they've done great work so far. We even had a special request we emailed in advance last week and not only did they handle it, they went above and beyond in doing so. We have been very impressed with them so far. To recap: 1. Excellent work 2. Affordable price 3. Excellent communication (how many landscapers can you email and get back a quick, professional response?) If you need any landscaping done, I highly recommend Omar and Torres Landscaping. read more

Torres Landscaping was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end - their communication is timely and very clear, whether on phone, email or in person. Omar, the owner, was helpful in pointing out on-site issues as we started the project, open to on-the-fly changes we had, suggestions on materials, and clear on the project scope impacts of all these items. Their crew is friendly, fast and cleaned up after the project was completed. We were very pleased with the work they did on the first phase of our landscape remodel, and are planning to work with them again rather than shop around on phase two! read more

Recd quote but the contract was a "standard contract" not for the job they would do. I requested a contract showing what they would do on two occasions, I was told to cross off what they wouldn't do. That would be everything except one sentence and me adding the job they would do. read more

Last night our sprinkler system valve got stuck and wouldn't shut off. I called Omar at 5:15. He called back immediately and came over to house to fix the valve within minutes despite having worked a long day with other customers. That's very representative of the quality of service he and his team puts forth. Over the past two years we've been very pleased with the quality of his work. He's helped us with irrigation and planting issues. We love the way our yard looks under their care. read more
