Beware of A&C Landscaping's Fraudulent Billing and Neglect I discovered that A&C Landscaping has been billing our HOA over $300 per month for services they have not been providing. Our landscaping has been completely neglected for who knows how long, yet they continued charging us. I canceled their service in November 2024, expecting it to end by December. However, I just realized (April 2025) that they are still billing us! When I reached out via email today they sent a photo claiming they serviced our property on April 1. But their own photo proves otherwise--the red curb not shown in their image was painted back in May 2024! I've attached actual, recent pictures showing the truth: dead plants and an unmaintained property, and a red driveway curb despite their continued fraudulent charges. This company is dishonest and unethical. If you're considering hiring them, save yourself the headache and look elsewhere! read more

Can you give zero stars? Nov 2024 I hired Calixto of A&C landscaping to prepare, provide irrigation and drip plus sod for my front and back yards. His bid was high, but convinced me his company would do an excellent job. When he said he was done I had gaps between all sod rows- approximately 1-2". and I had about a 6' by 6' area with no sod. I stated that was unacceptable, so he put sod in the 6' X6' area but did not correct how the sod was laid stating it would "grow" together. Presented me at the end with an extra $800 bill for pressure regulator parts in which he refused to show me receipts. Just glad the process was over I paid the entire bill in full plus the extra $800 and asked him for the warranty papers on the Rainbird. To which he said there weren't any and he was the warranty. He was done in December. When I asked about the drip irrigation he said it was another $1,000. I hired someone else but in Feb 2025 I started seeing brown spots all over the front and back yards and called him. He sent his worker over who raised two of the sprinkler heads. By April I had many brown spots and dying grass. Calling him again he sent another worker over who just shrugged his shoulders and left. In May he finally came out and did nothing to correct and said the sprinklers were my fault. Hiring a new gardener in May it was discovered they had put in the wrong sprinkler heads, I had to replace 40 of them and the heads in the front were 16' apart. Had to add 4 more sprinklers in the front and will be adding one in the back. This man is smug, arrogant and demeaning. If you get through this entire read, I suggest you never use this company. You can't trust they know what they are doing, and once they have your money, it's over. I wouldn't recommend this company to pull your weeds. read more

We hired A&C Landscaping for a backyard project involving demolition of concrete, re-grading, installing surface drains, and re-doing irrigation. Overall, we are 100% pleased with our experience. I met with 4 different landscaping contractors and was most impressed with A&C. Their quote was competitive, but what sold me the most was their project manager who came out, Calixto. From setting up the initial quote to his demeanor throughout our meeting, he was extremely professional. He did not upsell, pressure me, or use any fear tactics. He brought in his partner, Alfonso, during that same visit to provide some additional opinions on our concrete, and it was obvious that between the two of them they have a lot of combined experience. While I had to consistently chase other contractors to get quotes, A&C was prompt with their quote and scheduled us in a reasonable time frame. They're definitely very busy, but extremely organized. They started the job and finished the job exactly as they estimated. There were minimal changes in the budget. Calixto was consistently present on the job site, which was reassuring. He was always checking on the work and making sure everything was to his standard. He was also incredibly responsive! Any time we had an issue, he would respond immediately and be able to come out within the next day or two. We noticed a couple of minor things after a rain following completion of the job. We let Calixto know and he immediately came out to assess the situation with a solution within a day or two. This level of professionalism and ownership of the work is amazing. I'll continue to update this review as time passes. But for now, we will definitely be using A&C again for any future jobs. read more

These guys have done two projects for me. One last year and one this year. Last year they did a large retaining wall, with stairs, and upper paver and lower paver projects, with artificial grass. This year they did irrigation and planting and mulching and another artificial grass area. Very good quality and I couldn't be happier with their customer service. Some of the plants died because its been 100 degrees in Santee and they replaced them for free. This is a small company but they went out of their way to make it right with no questions asked. That means a lot to me. The price was amazing and my property looks amazing just in time for our wedding rehearsal. Thanks guys! Definitely get a quote from them, I bet they'll be the best and do a fantastic job. read more

I've worked with many a Landscaper over the years in my property management business. You know what? Alfonso Ramos and staff aim to please and have a consistent track record. They're small enough to get the boss when you call and big enough to deliver on that renovatation project you've been planning. I've got the nicest front yard on my street. My neighbors are always ringing my doorbell, asking me who's responsible for the greenest grass they've seen. :-) read more

Finally decided to landscape our backyard and get rid of the old, rusted, collapsing chain link fencing, overgrown brush and foliage, and a back 'yard' that was primarily dead or dying crabgrass and dirt (otherwise known as mud during rainy season). We looked for businesses that were local and had been in business for 10 or more years. We found three prospects, interviewed them all, and settled on A&C Landscaping. A&C seemed to have the most interest and a much more comprehensive assessment of what would be required to realize our vision for an open back yard, with glass wall to take advantage of our view, high quality artificial turf for low maintenance and appearance, masonry retaining walls with redwood fencing on the yard sides, glass wall on the rear, a redwood deck, and all the necessary drainage. A&C Landscaping General Manager Alfonso Ramos and his crews did a phenomenal job! The job was completed on-time (weather imposed some delays, but last I checked, we don't control the weather...) and all construction materials were removed and the site cleaned up at completion. The masonry wall crew, lead by Chico, worked seamlessly with San Diego Glass Wall Systems to create the rear glass wall highlighting the expansive views. The deck crew, lead by Alfonso (different Alfonso...) created a wonderful deck, and the softscape crew, lead by Calixto, did a marvelous job of prepping the ground and laying out the artificial turf. All of this done from a rough original sketch. A&C Landscaping is definitely the premier landscaping company in San Diego. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed read more

We had our backyard completely redone from dirt & weeds to shrubs, fruit trees, DG & flagstone. A&C did an outstanding job. The entire group from estimating to the guys getting the work done were awesome. They go the extra mile to work with you in every aspect. We truly appreciate your hard work turning our yard into something special for us, thank you. read more

Providing a review of initial appointment and estimate. Alfonso was on time and professional. Provided an estimate within a few days. One of few companies willing to visit on a Saturday. Did not go with company only because his estimate was above my budget. read more

I can't say enough about how incredible Alfonso and his crew were. I've done a lot of construction on my home in the past few years and NOBODY and I mean NOBODY was as diligent, honest and reliable as Alfonso was. After round one of the El Nino I discovered a huge drainage problem on the side of my house. After being referred to A&C I scheduled an appointment with Alfonso who came out to my house the next day. He looked at the issues I had and gave me a very reasonable quote. We shook hands on Wednesday, they started on Thursday, worked Friday, Sunday, Monday and finished the entire job on Tuesday. All concrete was poured and the job site was immaculate when they left. To say I was impressed and astonished would be an understatement! These guys were ALL amazing. If you have any concrete or drainage needs these guys should be your ONE and ONLY call . . . I HIGHLY recommend them!!! Thank you Alfonso and your entire crew!!!!!! read more

A&C Landscaping is EXCELLENT! We were very pleased with their work. The crew worked effectively and efficiently and completely transformed part of our backyard. We had them create a sloped succulent garden with DG, install bamboo and woodchips along our side fence, and reroute the irrigation system. The crew made sure everything was perfect. Alfonso is experienced, professional and very reasonable. We will definitely use them in the front yard next year. read more
