Bought a house last year. When I did so, I told myself I would be able to keep up with the little…read morebit of landscaping we had in both the front and backyards. And I did! For a little while, at least. Trimmed my trees, mowed the grass, kept the weeds from encroaching, even sawed off a couple of the bad branches. This lasted for about six months before it was too much to keep up with and after six more months of my yard turning into much less fun version of the Jungle Cruise, I came to Yelp to find a solution. Mountain Lawn Care turned out to be a pretty good solution. They didn't charge much for the initial cleaning and monthly visits have been very reasonable. When going through options and talking to other competitors that gave quotes at sometimes twice the cost, I realized that there are some jobs where 'pretty good' is more than sufficient. My yard is clean, the trees that needed branches cut off have been pruned back, and the front no longer scares the neighbors with the growls of hidden predators among the weeds! And all this beauty and cleanliness from someone who came in as one of the lower bidders among six other requests. That's both great and economical. I'm not looking for the best meal of my life, I'm not looking to get a haircut I can go outside with, I'm not looking for someone to make a topiary in front of my house. What I'm looking for I got, for a price I can accept. About the only issue I have is that Mountain Lawn Care doesn't seem to have a set schedule when doing monthly follow-ups. I seem to be messaging every four weeks setting up new appointments. But that's just more of an inconvenience I can live with. Other than that, these guys are great!

With the amount of investment that you are making for these type of projects, there's no way you want to go for the lowest bidder because those folks are most likely unlicensed and uninsured, and worse, cut corners with your work. I know few people that got screwed by their contractor because they didn't finish their job or did such poor job that they had to hire another contractor, basically coughing up double the amount as originally planned. Don't let that happen to you! Enter Thomas aka "T" of Artisan Light & Landscape. Now, let me tell you that I did tremendous amount of research before I chose him. I'm crazy. I research the hell out of everything! After I researched about 30+ "reputable" contractors/lanscaping companies via Google, Yelp, CSLB, guys knocking on my door, left business cards and brochures at my door, and a neighbor referral to top it off, I narrowed my choices down to 5 and interviewed them in person. I'll tell you what. T was BY FAR not only the most knowledgeable, but he was super responsive and worked with me in designing a customized front yard that was a bit different than a lot of these "cookie cutter" designs that a lot of these contractors draw up, using the same materials from their previous jobs so they save money! We wanted our yard to look a bit different and small details meant a lot for us. T is very patient and super service-oriented, really focused to making sure that we were happy with everything at the end of the day. This type of service and care is absolutely rare in this industry. He also is a plant expert and will even provide you with a list of all the plants that will thrive in this climate. He also even offered to pickup our Plumeria tree from a nursery that was an hour away, so that we didn't have to. We wanted our design to be a little bit different and we accomplished that with T. Without any hesitation, I would recommend T for all of your landscaping needs. Oh, and he's also very reasonable with his pricing for the quality of work that he and his team delivers. He will not be the cheapest or the most expensive as some contractors are also out there to rip you off. After he is done with the project, during the last meeting, he will also provide you with all the instructions and suggestions to keep in mind to keep your yard in top shape! He even gave us a pruning lesson and even went out of his way to prune our out-of-control olive tree in the backyard for us. There are so much more stuff here and there that T delivered to make this experience an absolutely spectacular one, but this review is already getting too long and I'm getting tired of typing via phone, so just call him already! T is the man! T is also super detail-oriented, honest, hardworking, reliable, and just genuinely good guy. He and his team are the best! T - thanks for everything. You sure have gained a lifelong customer out of us. Before & After pics are attached.

I am ready to do some upgrades to one of our properties. FYI, Yelp's system is not full proof, I'll tell you why, YELP IS HIDING 11 OTHER REVIEWS FOR THIS COMPANY! NOT PLAYING FAIR YELP! Just below all the reviews posted for this service provider, there are more reviews YELP is hiding from viewers and other Yelper's. See below, 11 FILTERED. I read 1 today, which is more recent than some of the ones Yelp is displaying. I viewed Yelp's video trying to explain the way they decide what to post, then read the posts and the only thing that makes any sense to me, is some of the reviewers are not ongoing Yelper's. Does this mean Yelp discredits their comments? Thought you needed to know this. MY REVIEW: I was in need of a Landscaper in the Riverside county area for a property I was working on. I found this vendor (Artisan Light & Landscape) while buying irrigation supplies. I asked the men at the counter if they could recommend some local irrigation companies in the area. This business was on the list they gave me. Tom, the owner and primary service provider is an honest and appointment keeping man. If for any reason, he cannot meet your desired deadline for a service he will tell you outright. His prices are fair too. I had requested and received quotes for a side yard from three equally reputable companies and he was the most concise and forthcoming with his quote. He took notes, went home, worked up a quote and E-mailed it to me. If you have a budget, he will be honest with you and tell you what will work best with your budget. Before hiring him, he gave me an address to view of a property he was working on. The place looked awesome during the day but at night it looked fabulous! The home had landscaping, hardscaping and beautiful lighting surrounding the property. It seems he enjoys the lighting aspect of his job tremendously, and it shows! Using plants I purchased, Tom designed and planted a side yard with a lovely durable border, mulch and a drip watering system. No more sprinklers watering block walls and other hard surfaces! Tom also replaced sprinkler system valves, repaired other sprinkler valves, replaced sprinkler heads, installed Railroad ties to be used as steps, advised us about trees and plants for our next project. This supplier knows his business. He possesses a B.S. in Ornamental Horticulture from Cal Poly Pomona. He can advise you about plants, trees, etc. He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable! I highly recommend this service provider. 5 stars all the way! www.artisanlite.com www.artisanscapes.com UPDATE: On 4/3/2013, Tom trimmed 6 trees and 11 Queen Palms on one of our properties. He also removed a Decorative Plum tree for us. The Plum tree was too close to one of the Queen Palms, making a mess on the neighbors lawn. STILL 5 STARS! UPDATE: Today 5/2/2013, I hired Tom back to check an irrigation line at a property we own. The grass was very soggy, we believed there was a leak. Wasting water is a big NO, NO. Tom came out, he dug up the grass and confirmed there was a cracked line. The line was repaired within about 20-25 minutes. This included pulling parts, trimming PVC pipe to size and fastening everything back as needed. I attached more pictures. STILL 5 STARS! UPDATE: Wednesday 8/28/2013, Hired this service provider again. He replaced some old damaged, ineffective sprinkler system parts. Arrived as scheduled and performed service as requested. STILL 5 STARS!

Update: Gilbert, I'll call the office as requested below…read more I am pretty sure I was working with you directly on this project. Additional photos added. Thanks. Original: Here is what our concrete looks like 4.5 years after it was poured. We have about a dozen holes that have appeared. They first started to appear after about a year and a half and have continued to appear since. Some worse than others. I reached out after about two years for feedback and received no response. This is not a "concrete cracks" issue. They did a poor job. They accidentally took out the walkway and had to redo it. The new walkway is lifting. I also had three sprinkler lines in the front. They accidentally capped (I hope) one and ended up having to put the entire front yard on one valve, where there were two. Just an FYI for those that are curious about the quality and service you are paying for. Yes, it's been a few year, but concrete is supposed to last a long time, and it's not.
