She's also just fun to be with and work with. I love the fact that she talked me out of using a pre-emergent in our garden after I'd let it get weedy. Instead of using toxins to keep the weed seeds from sprouting, she used newspaper covered with fresh dirt, mulch and a little horse manure -- and it worked beautifully. Big, big recommendation for Jillian and her partner.

We had an excellent experience with Dela Cruz Pro Gardening and would highly recommend them to…read moreanyone looking to improve their yard. From the beginning, Emilio was very responsive and professional. He arranged a visit to assess our front yard, which was in very poor condition, with dry grass and spots that were only dirt. He quickly provided a fair estimate, and he followed through on everything we agreed upon. One thing we particularly appreciated was Emilio's excellent communication throughout the entire project. He regularly sent us pictures to show the progress of the work he and his team were performing and always responded immediately whenever we had a question. He also offered some great ideas for designing our front yard with a combination of artificial turf and stones of different sizes on two sides which really helped us achieve a beautiful result. He even gave us a few small cactaceae for free to make the sides with stones look even nicer. He also installed the irrigation and pruned a tree that was totally out of shape. We could see that he really cared about getting our frontyard look beautiful! The entire process went smoothly, on schedule and efficiently, making the experience easy and stress-free. We are very happy with the quality of the work and absolutely love how our front yard turned out! If you're looking for a reliable, professional, and reasonably priced gardening service in the Santa Clara and San Jose area, we highly recommend Dela Cruz Pro Gardening ,and with Emilio you are sure to have a great and smooth experience!

Chris and Aqua Green really upgraded our home's extensive old irrigation system, on an acre with…read moresteep sandy hills. They tested what was there to make sure they did not need to replace everything, with other estimators had insisted would be needed. They confirmed that all the pipes were still good, as was the wiring. We only need to replace sprinkler heads with a new and better functioning modern style, and the stations for the same reason. We were able to use an older timer that was actually quite easy to program. Now everything is running perfectly, and not only do we have more fire protection on our property, but we have the opportunity to encourage existing trees and shrubs to thrive. We use only well water and are not planting new plants unless they are native. Aqua Green also helped us remove a huge old planter and tree, which was simply beyond our own stamina! My mother and I are so glad to have discovered them as our go-to advisor from now on.

I couldn't be happier with his work and would recommend him without reservation for your irrigation or landscaping needs.

I suspect once the large project was paid off the motivation to return for follow up was gone. I wish I kept more before photos so I could share the transformation better. The landscapers worked so hard, arriving at 8:30 and leaving at 5:00. Maria's interpretations of what I was asking for were excellent! I can't draw but I told Maria what I wanted and she gave me that and more. Even her idea of dark bark was a great idea. I had no idea they made black bark! We opted for a section of artificial turf because I miss the green in the yard. I love it. It feels enough like grass to me. I look out the windows and it is beautiful. They laid layers of wire, rock, barriers, and finished off the decomposed granite to help with weed abatement and vole infestations. The yard is about 40x50 and was done in four days!!! In addition they cleaned it all the weeds in the flagstone and trimmed a wealth of hedges. When they were done the yard was rinsed and swept and chairs and planted pots were put back.

He did the job quickly and provided photos to show the repair.

Update: First, I…read morenever blamed him for my dry grass. I told him that we had dry patches and asked him to inspect the irrigation system to determine whether there was a coverage issue. There is a significant difference between asking an irrigation professional to diagnose a problem and accusing him of causing it. Second, bringing up the distance between Morgan Hill and Livermore is irrelevant. His response makes it sound as though traveling to my property was somehow a favor to me. He chose to accept the job. I did not force him to take the work or make the drive. In fact, he had previously performed approximately $2,000 worth of work at this exact same property, so he was fully aware of the location when he accepted this job. Unfortunately, his work this time has caused me more trouble and expense, not less. He acknowledges that he decided my existing micro-sprinklers were unnecessary so he cut them on his own will. I did not authorize him to cut and remove numerous components of my irrigation system. Whether he believed they were old, defective, or unnecessary is beside the point. That should have been discussed with me before anything was removed. I am the homeowner and should have been given the choice regarding what was removed from my property. I am still completely baffled that a professional would cut and remove parts of a customer's existing irrigation system without first obtaining permission. His communication afterward has been equally disappointing- just as you can clearly see from his response. I contacted him directly about these concerns before posting my review. My message showed as read immediately, and I have a screenshot documenting it. He did not respond until after I posted my review. He had also previously told me in person that business was very slow, yet after the review was posted, his explanation for not responding was that he was extremely busy with a large project. I am still a paying customer. What makes my job any less especially when you say your business is very slow right now. Did he forget I have cameras all over my house? Given his response, his unwillingness to acknowledge my actual concern, and the way he has handled a legitimate customer complaint, I no longer feel comfortable allowing him to return to work on my irrigation system. I originally requested a refund of the $185 I paid but he's clearly not worth it. I have contacted another company to fix all the work he has done incorrectly. My experience with him has been that he is pleasant and accommodating when securing the work and payment, but when I subsequently raised concerns about that work, communication became extremely difficult and defensive. Based on my experience, I found his customer service, communication, and handling of this situation highly unprofessional and rude. Original Post: I've had two experiences with the owner, and unfortunately I would not recommend his services. The first time, I felt I was overcharged for the work performed. However, he assured me that if I had any issues afterward, I could contact him and he would come back and take care of them. Based on that assurance, I gave him another chance. When I actually needed an issue addressed, his attitude completely changed. Instead of standing behind what he had previously told me, he was dismissive and unwilling to help without charging me again. The second time, I paid for five sprinklers to be repaired and for maintenance of the rest of the system. He said he would thoroughly clean them because water builds up and they don't spray as they should after a while. I was there while the work was being done. The five sprinklers essentially had their top heads changed, and I did NOT see the maintenance performed that I was charged for. When I went over all the heads, I can see he didn't address them and told me to rotate them. The worst part, he cut several sprinkler lines around my trees without asking me first. He told me it sprays better like that. I was in total shock that someone thinks they can cut off sprinklers without discussing first. He put a pile of them on the side and showed me all the cut lines. After his work, one sprinkler is now shooting water extremely high, and the pressure in my system seems to be off after adjustments were made at the main control. I contacted him explaining these issues. He read my message and did not respond. He is a dishonest person and will overcharge giving you a random number without structured pricing. Beyond the workmanship and pricing, his attitude when there is a problem is extremely disappointing. It's easy to say you'll stand behind your work when collecting payment, but my experience was very different when I actually asked him to address a problem. After paying him twice, dealing with unresolved issues, and receiving this type of customer service, I will not use him again and would not recommend him to any homeowner or business.
