Although the workmanship and landscaping is okay, I didn't have a good experience with the owner…read moreTerry. He is very argumentive if questioned and defensive if you have any complaints. There was damage left to my cement and fence post on my brand new gate door, of course he denied this damage saying it was already like that. I brought to his attention one of the sprinkler was leaking and again he initally denied the leak even though there was a puddle of water all day long. After several complaints he finally sent a worker to fix it. A month or so later I got a high water bill and called Terry and asked if he can provide me an invoice regarding when the leak was fixed so I can submit a dispute to the water company and get the $565 water bill reduced, but he refused. I didn't ask him to pay my bill, which he should since it was because of his work, I only asked for an invoice so I can have the bill reduced. Personally I think he was angry because we wouldn't pay him until all the work was done correctly. His contract had to be corrected several times before we could sign it because of all the errors. He also left off several things that we discussed verbally and when we asked for that work, he said he would have to charge more because it wasn't on the contract. if the contract was done correctly, this would have not happened. I suggest you make sure your contract has every detail of work you want before you sign it and they start the job. Make sure you take pictures of the surroundings before they start just in case their equipment cause any damage. His staff seem nice and professional and I will say the workmanship was okay, but the bad experience I had with the owner would keep me from using them again. Disappointed.

That should have been my first red flag. I was very clear that my concern about concrete was lack of drainage and water pooling but they assured me they would make sure the concrete would be slightly angled so it would follow a natural drainage. The second red flag should have been they asked me to pay them the remainder of the fee because they didn't have enough to pay for the concrete truck. The crew was extremely sloppy, clogged outdoor drain, pushed cement into garden bed, left scissors in my yard, dumped leftover concrete in between my stairs hoping I wouldn't notice, concreted my sewer lid shut and THE worse of all, I now have a concrete patio that pools every time it rains. We weren't able to check for quality control at the end of the job because it takes 24 hours for the cement to set. We reached out afterward and gave them a chance to make some things right but they ghosted us and won't respond to CCheck out the photos, a photo speaks a thousand words. Update - Apele still haven't responded and we will have to take them to small claims court. The concrete pad cracked in less than one month.

Within 2 weeks, the concrete was cracking and has to be removed in order to have another contractor do the work. They have not fulfilled any part of their contract except some dirt excavation. For other people in this thread, I found out that you can file a complaint with the state of california. They've stolen $10K from me and assuming I'm not the only one. https://bit.ly/2RRQynu --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ezekial and his team are nice guys but they are extremely unreliable. They appear to be ghosting a project and STEALING roughly $6000 from me. I have paid $10K towards a flagstone patio (completed quote: $7K) and a retaining wall (completed quote $4K). The outstanding balance is $1000 for the job to be complete, which it never will be. They told me the job would take 5-6 days. After 22 weekdays, 10 of which were no-shows no-calls, they left the site with their tools. Ezekial rarely answered text messages that were business critical. Every day they did show up, they were 2 to 4 hours later than scheduled. They never worked more than three hours in one day, with most days about 90 minutes. The flagstone patio, which is just the concrete pad with a few poorly laid pieces of flagstone on one part is far from complete. Let's say that $3k of the $7k is left to do. The retaining wall was never started, so that is $3000 (of $4000 that I've already paid) is also being stolen. If they return the money to me, then I can reconsidered my review, but breaching a contract is not just bad business but is also illegal. Fortunately for me, I have documentation from venmo, yelp, and text messages that show that they consistently missed deadlines. I'd rather not take them to small claims court, but they have stolen money from me. If they return the money, this review would be more about reliability which is less severe. I really want to support local small businesses, especially coming out of covid, but unreliable vendors who provide bad service and bad craftsmanship and no communication need to get their act together. This is especially goes for thieves. Unfortunately, they had 5 stars when I hired them.

I was worried that our beautiful trees wouldn't be as beautiful after all the trimming. There was a lot that needed to be done, and I was worried that it might look like a bad haircut. But no!

They're done in 3-4 hours. His rates are very fair relative to alternatives. The work we ask Alex to do doesn't require any creative design or hedging, but the work he does looks great.

Gus is reliable, professional, fairly priced, and genuinely pleasant to work with. He shows up when he says he will, completes the work on time, and leaves the property clean when the job is finished. Over the years, I've trusted him with multiple trees and have always been very happy with both the work and the experience. I noticed a few very negative reviews here, and I can only say that they don't reflect my experience with Gus at all. After working with him repeatedly over the course of a decade, I've found him to be dependable, straightforward, respectful, and easy to work with. It's increasingly hard to find contractors you can call years later and know you're going to get the same reliable service. Gus is one of those people. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to others.
