Our journey with the Ruff and Ready family began in 2024. We had wanted to put concrete in our…read morebackyard but unfortunately, our funds had to be diverted to replace our AC. Fast forward almost two years later, we were ready to put the concrete in our yard. When I contacted Ruff & Ready, they had our photos, previous quote, and hand written notes still in their portal. I surely wasn't expecting this. Jeff came out to measure the new spot and confirm the scope of work. He was efficient, flexible with his timing, and arrived in the window given. Jeff's quote was not the most expensive nor was it the cheapest. What made us choose Ruff & Ready you ask? Jeff spoke as if what he said would actually happen. And that's how it went! He was transparent, honest, and didn't fluff anything. He got us a quote for the updated work within 24 hours. His office assistant Vanessa answered all our questions and walked us through the timeline of the whole thing, from start to finish, from signing our contract to paying the deposit to when we would begin work to how to pay the remaining balance. Vanessa answered text messages promptly and also answered the phone. No elevator music on the other line, no 'all of our representatives are busy' garbage. The crew who came out was incredible. They were respectful. They didn't blast music or leave trash. They were thorough and adhered to the timeline given. They closed the gate and ensured it was locked each day, which matters to me as a mom with littles. They parked in the street and moved when I needed to get into my garage. We used Ruff & Ready as a test as our current gardener will be relocating soon. We could not be happier with our experience and plan to use them for future backyard projects. Thank you Vanessa, Jeff, and the Ruff and Ready team!

My husband and I received quotes from 3 companies. We decided to go with Joe because we were…read moreimpressed with his years of experience and the way he was able to provide a lot of feedback on how we can improve our backyard. The discussion felt very open and comfortable. We finally found someone who will treat our backyard project like his own. Once Joe and his team started working, we were very happy with how professional and hard working they all were. They always arrived on time in the morning and at the end of the day, they cleaned everything and ready to go for the next day. For the duration of the 2-week project, Joe was available and kind enough to go over project updates and answer any questions we had. He was very hands on and was ready to do the work himself if he had to. Our backyard project is done, and we are very satisfied with how everything turned out We are very thankful to Joe and his team for giving us a blank canvas and a solid foundation to build our backyard on

I hired Mike and his team to completely revamp my yard. Before the transformation, maintenance was…read morea hassle with fast-growing plants I wasn't happy with and constant weeding. I had a custom desert-style vision in mind and Mike and his crew delivered while being patient and professional throughout the process. A large project with big ornamental plants naturally brings some challenges, but all issues were addressed and made right in the end. Irrigation was installed to the plants and spacing was done well for a symmetrical, automated setup. The largest tree, a Mediterranean fan palm in a 30" box, was installed expertly - showing they can handle heavy, mature trees as well. Re-Leaf wasn't the cheapest option, but I chose them based on reviews and the experience that was clear during the initial consultation. The end result matches my vision and has made maintenance far easier. Thank you to Mike, Juan, and the team for bringing it to life.

Mike also followed up a few days after the project to check in. His quote was very reasonable.

Since I'm being accused of defamation, here is more proof…read more In my opinion, This tree was planted too deep and there was too much mulch and bark completely covering the trunk and base of the tree that we had to remove, unfortunately, this suffocated the tree according to 2 local nurseries. It didn't help that you incorrectly set our sprinkler system. My dad asked for the front yard and back yard to be set the same amount of time in morning and late afternoon, you set it so that the back yard got the highest amount of water in the morning AND afternoon and the front yard got the lower amount of water in the morning and afternoon. No wonder the tree is almost dead. Now to address your accusation of racism: How about you ask your guys that were here when the front yard was being done how often I would speak Spanish with them every time I pulled up to my house? I asked them how to say a couple things and they taught me. I enjoyed having you guys around, including you (when you were there). My post was nothing personal. I took 3 years of Spanish in high school and I always make it a point to practice when I can so I don't forget words. I can also speak a tiny bit of Vietnamese (learned about 20 years ago), tiny bit of Chinese (Mandarin- still learning), a little French and a little German. I've lived in Southern California my entire life. You only met 3 white people at my house and my whole family is an extremely mixed bunch of 3 different races. It's awfully judgmental of you to label someone as racist simply because of their skin color. Telling someone they did something wrong isn't racist, just fyi. I understand your go to "racist" comment with the way the world is right now, but it was displaced towards the wrong people. In my opinion, and the opinion of other landscaping companies that came in to complete the job and saw your work, your company's work was poor. Bottom line. Nothing personal. Just business. You could have fixed the problems (because there are more than I posted) instead of ghosting us and ignoring the issues, but you didn't. It's normal for some people to lash out and personally attack someone when they have no rebuttal for non-personal criticism. However, it's poor business practice when a customer shares their opinion based on their experience (with pictures) and instead of merely apologizing, you dig a deeper hole. Best of luck!

We had our backyard done by them and Sam Sr. was our contact. From the beginning there were things…read morethat were unclear and we had to keep clarifying and were constantly told it will cost more. Even with that, we went with them thinking it was just a misunderstanding which happened twice! The job took about a week, no start date was given but it was just a random show up. The last day of the week being Friday, Sam Sr. was rushing to finish and at first, said he would return on Saturday if it could not be completed because Monday he had another job to go to. On Friday, things were rushed and the job was not completed but they claimed it was done. We found that the pavers were not set on the stairs and there were spaces between paver that were not covered with sand properly. Also, the areas where the stones should have been filled were not done and my yard was not cleaned up entirely before they left. I had to send video of my pavers not being set which was later fixed. Also, my husband was upset at the job not being completed and done half fast since he had another project lined up. This is a new construction home. I later had all my windows cleaned only to be told that there was sand stuck on the bottom of the frame of the sliding glass door and could not be easily cleaned due to the rain which clogged my weep holes. I contacted Sam Sr. to come and use his power washer to clean it up. I am extremely disappointed to report that he ignored my calls and messages and then later made an appointment and never showed up. Once they get their money, the customer no longer exists! We are very disappointed as my husband really liked Sam Sr. I do not recommend them. Not only did we offer them drinks daily but also bought him a case of beer! Our neighbors' contractors completed their jobs entirely and also cleaned up their yards once job was complete. This is a standard expectation which was not completed after the completion of our job.
