My rating is to acknowledge the way he handled his business, responding to messages promptly and respecting and complying with the scheduled meeting with us.

First time we used Yelp for a project. It was convenient that there were numerous messages that…read morewere sent out to various tree specialists. Noe Pablo was the most thorough in messaging through the Yelp app, so my husband and I chose him. I had 2 medium-sized fruit trees I needed to transfer from my parent's home in Southeast San Diego to mine in North County. I took pictures and he gave us a very reasonable price. We also decided to also add another service to take out our palm tree. There were a couple of mishaps such as: The day he was scheduled to take out the palm tree, he was a no-show and my husband had to call him an hour after he was supposed to arrive. Then, the day after that incident, was the fruit tree transfer. He and his team forgot to bring their dolly. Thank goodness my Dad had one so they borrowed it, but now we have the burden in taking it back. Despite these mishaps, Noe was very knowledgeable and professional in his mannerisms. The day of the fruit tree transfer, he and his team arrived in a timely manner, was efficient and did a great job overall. We were very pleased and will definitely use him again if we have another project.

Paublo and his team did a great job. We look forward to having them back to plant sone fruit trees.read more

DO NOT USE Chris Bargain Lawn Care! During the week of 7/7, he mismanaged all aspects of our…read morelandscaping project, leading us to lose over $5,000 due to improper application of synthetic turf, failure to remove old turf and decomposed granite from our yard, putting a nail through our sprinkler line, and placing sticky sand all over our pavers requiring additional cleanup. Chris was informed about the removal of turf, roots, and DG four days prior to completion, but did not respond. I had over 100 text and phone calls with his subcontractor - Boots Construction, who was rarely present and did not address the issues. One time, he left to give a quote for another job instead of staying at our house. Chris guaranteed Boots would always be on site. I spent over 25 hours supervising and fixing problems with the entire project. Chris assured me of Boots' expertise, which proved false. Despite receiving payments, Boots has not paid his crew. Chris was sent numerous pictures and text, but did not resolve any of these problems. In fact, he stated he would be unable to provide any assistance or reimbursement of any kind.... Not even a penny. * Paver problems: Boots didn't take the right samples or measurements, so the pavers were mismatched and cut poorly. The sand was applied badly, and they didn't install root barriers as promised. * Fire pit and walkway issues: The fire pit area was uneven and needed to be redone. * Mulch mess: The crew piled mulch against the plants, even though they were told not to. We had to redo all the mulch installations around 150 plants. * Crew's behavior: The crew left trash all over our yard, including pizza boxes and water bottles we purchased for lunch. Chris stated on the 6th day our yard would be left in a pristine state and the opposite happened. They even left loose razor blades that were a hazard to our dogs! * Turf troubles: Turf and DG were removed with no disposal plan, leaving our gate unusable and driveway blocked until we paid 1-800-Got-Junk for removal. Chris did not respond when contacted. The turf showed visible nail spots, uneven seams, improper cuts, and house flashing and two sprinkler lines were damaged requiring another contractor for repairs. Boots used only a third of the specified infill amount. * Root removal problems: The roots weren't removed to the agreed depth, which could cause future issues. We had to buy materials to finish the root barrier installation. * Contract and payment concerns: Chris required a 25% upfront payment on 7/2, exceeding California's legal 10% downpayment limit, citing the need for pre-July 4th material purchases. However, receipts show no materials were bought until 7/11. Chris mismanaged the job and failed to respond to calls on Thursday and Friday. Despite our contract with him, he took no direct responsibility and communicated only about payments from Monday to Saturday. The subcontractor did not handle the turf professionally, contrary to Chris's assurances. Both Chris and Boots Construction are not licensed contractors according to the California State License Board. I would give a negative star rating if possible.

They removed five large palm trees, including the roots, with incredible speed and precision. When they were finished, it honestly looked like the trees had never even been there. Their workmanship was outstanding. What impressed me just as much was the cleanup. They left our yard spotless, taking the time to make sure everything looked better than when they arrived. It's rare to find a crew that works this efficiently while still paying attention to every detail. Their pricing was also incredibly competitive, and the level of professionalism from Jose and his entire team made the experience even better. They showed up on time, worked hard, communicated well, and exceeded our expectations from start to finish. A huge thank you to Jose and the entire team at Active Landscape and Tree Service. We couldn't be happier with the results and will gladly recommend you to anyone looking for honest, professional, and high-quality tree and landscaping services.

On September 17, 2026, my wife and I met with Michael B. Moore, owner of Pacific Landscaping &…read moreMaintenance, for an estimate on a project involving plant installation, irrigation installation, re-grading, crushed rock, and a curb rock bed. He arrived on time and handed us a business card. However, the rest of the meeting did not go well for us. He spoke very quickly and looked at his phone frequently, and we felt he was not fully listening to what we wanted. When I scheduled our appointment, we sent him our designer's plan, which showed bender board separating the small rocks from the large ones, along with photographs of our property. He therefore had the full scope of work before he arrived. Yet his first statement to us at the meeting was, "This job is not so simple," which contradicted what he had said when I scheduled the appointment. He also told us the bender board was not necessary. Our property is on a slope; hence, the two different rocks would most certainly mix over time. Next, he said previous contractors' quotes had not included enough rock and recommended roto-tilling the property. He did not take any measurements before saying we would need more rock, stating he could estimate the amount by eye. When I asked whether he planned to measure, given the quantity involved, he said it wasn't necessary but agreed to do so reluctantly. During the meeting, he mentioned several times how busy he was and that he had 20 employees. He also criticized the other contractors we had received estimates from, which we found unprofessional. While my wife was still explaining what we were looking for, he said he did not want to take on the job and walked away. We found this rude. We also waited a full week between our initial contact and this meeting, and we were left puzzled as to why he bothered to schedule our appointment when he said he was so busy. I'm sharing this so other customers can factor it into their decision.
