They kept trashing our vehicles, blowing rocks and debris all over them, and I contacted the owner multiple times about it but it kept happening. Eventually I left a yelp review about the situation, and instead of just talking to his crew about being more careful around our property, the owner Stephen Baca showed up at my house threatening me and cussing at my son who answered the door. He seemed seriously unhinged so we filed a police report. BEWARE of this company, if you don't like something they do, the owner will come to harass you at your house and cuss out the first person to open the door instead of fixing the problem! read more

This company maintains our front and community landscaping. By maintain, they do not water it, bushes die, and they do not spray to kill weeds but let weeds destroy your lawn. My next door neighbir's tree literally went "timber!" amd fell over dead! The Fiber ATT people dug up our yards and streets and these landscaper/maintenance people promised to put seed and grow the grass back but never did. I pay an HOA fee every month for nothing. All we get is the street light, weeds, and dead bushes. I talk to the maintenance people whenever they are here and they pass the buck. Today nice guy, Joaquin, tells me to call the company. But the mailbox is full at 9:10am and they accept NO VOICE MESSAGES. How professional is your company when you are open but noone answers and you don't take messages. So basically you do not respect your customers or their feedback. Dying, fire hazard, never watered, leaning bushes, trees rhat literally FALL OVER. Hire E.L Services if you want your curb appeal to signify weeds and dead bushes or trees. read more

I worked with E.L. Services on a large scale landscaping maintenance project for the City of Alameda. There were many layers to the scope that added to the complexity. This included landscape maintenance/ irrigation for roadsides and medians, maintaining landscaping / irrigation and flower bed color changes for official buildings such as City Hall and Police stations etc. The scope also included a home owners association with many lawn areas. They did a great job! Their response to after hours emergencies was excellent! I would strongly recommend this company. They are diligent, professional, responsive, safe and they understand the sensitivity that comes with maintaining landscaping and irrigation in an astute and vocal community. read more

My neighborhood's HOA has decided for some unknown reasons to work with these people. They proceed to come through our neighborhood with their leafblowers and blow dirt and debris all over my family's vehicles. Today, the owner, Steve, found out our address and proceeded to ring our doorbell and threaten to sue us over a negative (but truthful!) review. read more

Today I was woken by my son having a conversation with Steven Baca, the general manager of this company. He came by our residence yet again to complain about my wife's review. I let the first time he stopped by uninvited slide. We came to an agreement that if they could not blow debris all over our cars for 3 weeks, we would remove the review. He came back today demanding that the review be taken down. His claim is that his guys are not doing this. We have them on camera, along with him at out front door having these conversations. Police have been called now to report the harassment. He is threatening to sue us, calling the review slander. During the first meeting he offered us the equivalent of $500 to take the review down. We turned him down as it felt off, but also we want the problem to stop. He seemed to enjoy pointing out that we are renters and that I was foolish for owning my car and renting a house. Oh well, I guess yelp needs to know about this. I would not utilize a business that acts this way towards anyone. He especially seems to have an issue with renters and not thinking renters should have rights. read more
