    Front section

    We requested several projects that were part of a complete yard re-do. The crew removed and refit brick area in front of our home and then cleared the front yard, that was completely over-grown with about 30 years of having free range flowers. Then we had them remove and rebuild the deck and then remove and re-lay brick and stepping stones in our back courtyard. All of the projects came out above our expectations. The yard landscaping looks tidy but not too tidy so my quirky art and plant groupings fit right in! The work was done in a very timely manner and in a very professional way. All of the crew were very nice and always eager to comply with any request. David, the headman, is the hardest working man I have ever seen. He never stops like the energizer bunny. It was a delight to work with Christine, and really appreciate her insight on design and deck. Her pricing was fair for all the projects and I will definitely be calling be back for any future needs.

    I sent Christine a message on Saturday morning and by Saturday afternoon we were discussing what I wanted done. I also messaged three other landscapers which got to me two weeks later (not a good way to get business.) I was working with LADWP on the Turf Replacement Program so we had a couple of waiting periods for approval. Her and her team were very patient and worked on my schedule. They did a wonderful job picking out colorful plants after removing all the sod and conditioning the soil. I would definitely recommend Christine and her team if you are planning to do a Turf Replacement or any other landscaping.

    Christine, David and the rest of the team did an absolute amazing job transforming our front and backyards into dreamy spaces that we love spending time in and are proud to show off to family and friends. Christine truly has a passion for her work and treated our home as if it were her own. She provided multiple options for each space at different price points and the work was completed in a very timely manner. Christine was highly considerate of our specific wants and offered tailored recommendations that fit our space. I would highly recommend Christine and her team to anyone looking for landscaping, concrete or deck projects done. Thank you Christine and team!

    Look no further for your gardening needs, Christine is the best! I reached out to get a quote for our front gardening area and side of the house and Christine got back to me right away. She came by our house the same day and gave us a quote and got the project completed the very same week. Our front area and side was a disaster and Christine and her team made true magic happen! They were so quick and did phenomenal work! She picked out the most beautiful plants and flowers! She also got tomatoes, peppers, and herbs for our veggie garden, which looks amazing! I am so glad I found Christine! I was so stressed and overwhelmed and she made the process so smooth and easy.

    I reached out for their help because my plants were looking very, very anemic and sad. Christine and David were great! Very professional, handled and utilized the pots I had, made suggestions after assessing what I had that they could save and what needed to go. She even showed me how to care for the plants which really helped. It made my little place into a cute container garden! I highly recommend! Thanks again!

    I'm so happy that I found Christine and her team. We were looking to landscaping, maintenance and paving in our small yard. I put in a request for a quote. Christine got back to right away. She called me and offered to come by when I was free and that she was available that day to come by to see our place. She was nice and I felt comfortable with her right away. She had a great vision of ideas we could do for our yard. She even listened to our thoughts and concerns we had and offered a lot of her expertise on how to solve it. She was able to use some of the plants we had and relocated them in places they would look nice. She had wonderful communication via phone, text and overall keeping involved throughout the process. She got back to with all my questions right away. She would send me pictures of plants and prices before proceeding. She and her team were available to do it that week. Which was quick and really nice. On the day of the work, she came early and they had all the plants, pavers, equipment. They got all the work done that day but I felt a lot of love and thought went through all the work. She even sprayed down our patio and cleaned off all the dirt so our patio was clean. We are doing happy and excited for our new landscape and garden. It looks amazing. I would recommend Christine and her team for all my yard, landscape maintenance and I have shared her with my friends and family. Christine also offered yard maintenance whenever we may need it in the future if we needed a clean. I really enjoyed working with Christine and I look forward using her services in the future. Thank you Christine.

    1 GPH drip emitter line under our apple tree
    Ryan M.

    After having converted our lawn to a garden (thanks, Long Beach Lawn-to-Garden, https://lblawntogarden.com/), we needed our parkway cleared of weeds, weed barrier put down, and mulching. We also needed our irrigation updated to support our trees with slow watering for our clay loam soil (after a previous irrigation company did a bad job). Her price was better than another quote we got, but not suspiciously cheap. At Christine's suggestion, we tried putting stream bubbler heads at each tree. Christine's team was prompt, worked hard, and got everything installed, including finding an underground pipe leak and fixing it (a little trash was found on the site, but not bad). Unfortunately, the stream bubbler heads released water too quickly to spray far enough to soak the root zone and despite their attempts to make adjustments, the water ended up running off into the street rather than soaking in. Christine and I discussed options and she offered to redo the irrigation with drip emitter hose so that the water would come out much slower. Despite needing to redo the work, she was helpful and customer-oriented, and made it right. Now my trees will survive this summer and I can set up my irrigation program knowing that the water will be coming out slow enough to soak in rather than run off. Thanks, Christine, David, and team!

    After my backyard was trimmed and clean

    We asked Christine late on a Sunday to come help. Sure enough, she coordinated to let herself in on Monday, gave us a quote and then came three days early to do the work and for a super reasonable price a year of lack of care was resolved and we're now on a monthly plan. We got it 80% faster than planned and 50% as cheap as others quoted. She was so easy to work with and a few texts, pictures and I come home to a beautiful home.

    Before. Weeds out of control.

    I am attaching before and after pictures. Christine and her team showed up and worked their magic to clean things up and did a great job. They went above and beyond and put in extra work to make it look 10x better. Night and day difference. Very happy with the results.

    New ground cover, weeding, and tree trimming!

    We had Jose's team come in for biweekly maintenance of our plants…read more We have these vines in the back. I ask his guys to slowly take them down. I don't mind taking it slow. I then ask Jose if he would do an off-cycle cleaning where they take down all of the vines all at once. He quotes me $700 or something stupid like that. I decline. His guys come back. I ask them to keep going with a methodical removal. They say no, because Jose told them to stop. I call Jose and ask if they can continue with the slow but steady removal. He says no. It's unbelievable that I'm paying them to maintain my garden, but by saying no their up charge, he now REFUSES TO MAINTAIN A PLANT THAT'S PART OF THE GARDEN!? Unbelievably unprofessional. This is not how to run a business. Run, don't walk away from this fool

    I called José for lawn service…read more Jose ask for pictures I sent him pictures. Jose asked for a time period to come by (morning or afternoon)and I gave him the ok and made myself available. Jose happen to pull up in Front of my house walked forward not saying good morning or anything when he saw me he immediately looked perplexed like he was no longer a gardener?!???! I ask if he was with a company (I was expecting a different service this day as well) and he said no he's here for gardening with a confused type expression on his face. Jose asked me how long has it been since my yard was cut and I told him 2 months because my guy retired and he told me "No...it's been a year!". ???excuse me??? I'm thinking is this guy serious. I don't know why it mattered or even why I explained to him the timeline my guy last cut it. I mean...hello...that's why I called him. I don't need to lie or why he would accuse me. So after I explained like an accused girlfriend with the psycho bf Jose said "no ...I'm experienced it's been a year". No he didn't....Yes he did. I said ok whatever Jose what's the estimate? Cause the guy didn't talk any business he just immediately went into this thing about how long it's been since the grass was cut to make an excuse for whatever his true issue was but then Jose says "let's cut to the chase I can't cut it because the grass is too high for his tools and they may break.?????? Excuse me!?!? Your tools will break?!?! Lol No he didn't . Yes he did! Appalling. The nerve of this guy. You're a gardener bro. You cut grass to get money and your tools will break if you cut high grass??? Ha We live in Long Beach California! Not the rain forest ....and definitely not the high grass of the Ol Dixie States. I been around the sun plenty to know what I was dealing with here. This guy Jose was making excuses for what he really feels. I wouldn't recommend anyone to this guy, he is unprofessionally unprofessional. If you look up unprofessionally unprofessional bigot gardener in the dictionary it would be a picture of this guy giving a thumbs up.

They took the time to really understand my vision and offered thoughtful suggestions that made the final result even better than I imagined.

    One day I noticed my drip system was not working on all 4 stations even when selecting an…read moreindividual station. So, I texted Bob to let him know the problem and suggested that he check it out at his convenience. Within 2 days, he informed me that he had an opportunity to check my drip system. I have dealt with Bob & Mimmy for the last 10 years and have never been disappointed. In fact, since this particular problem was rather weird, I decided to watch every little thing he did but hidden so he wouldn't know I was watching. Upon initial survey he found that one of the station valves had failed and had to be replaced. He left and returned with the part in about 20 minutes. He then double checked the "Hunter" control unit for proper operation and voltage, finding that even the faulty station valve was receiving the proper operating signal. He then went about replacing the station valve. Watching him step by step (although he didn't see me watching) was absolutely fascinating. The man was methodical, conscientious and safety minded with respect to the various electrical connections required for operation of the new valve as well as proper and unhindered water flow through it. To me it was like watching Disney magic or a suspenseful detective movie even though I virtually knew everything he was doing except for the intricacies of the valve itself which I did not fathom. When finished he presented me with a very detailed invoice for a paltry, $152 for all the work he did and time he spent which altogether added up to about 4 hours.
