Willow Glen

Updated review: I wouldn't recommend this company for biweekly maintenance…read more We worked with Fortino and his team for about eight months, starting from the initial clean-up. Although they consistently showed up for scheduled visits, the attention to detail was lacking. Each visit lasted max ten minutes, and the work performed was minimal--primarily leaf cleanup, mowing, and basic shrub trimming. Weed control is listed as an included service, but this was not done consistently. In several instances, I was informed that weed control had been completed when it hadn't, which I confirmed through my exterior security cameras. Communication was also slow and often unresponsive; I frequently had to send follow-up texts just to get a reply. Ultimately, we have decided to discontinue the service.

I would strongly caution anyone considering this gardening service…read more I paid this contractor in cash to plant new bushes in my yard and install an irrigation system. From the beginning, I was assured everything was set up properly and functioning as it should. Unfortunately, that couldn't be further from the truth. Said contractor then handed my business over to Willow glen gardening - this wasn't an ask - it was a demand - my business went to Willow glen gardening whether I asked for it or not . The two of these guys clearly have. A system. Shortly after installation, all of the plants began to die. I reached out multiple times asking him to come back and check the irrigation, and each time I was told everything was "working fine." Meanwhile, every single plant they installed has since died. What's most frustrating is the complete lack of accountability and follow-through. Getting him to come back out has been nearly impossible--just excuse after excuse with no resolution. I was also sold on a "premium maintenance service," which ended up being extremely misleading. The crew would show up briefly, blow debris around, and leave. There was no pruning, no real care, and clearly no attention to the health of the plants. At this point, I've lost all of the landscaping I paid for and have no recourse. It's been a costly and frustrating experience. I would not recommend this service to anyone.

I had Jacob come out to aerate our front and back lawns and the service was efficient and friendly…read more After he was done with the aeration, we talked about my grass some and my DIY plans (I had already dethatched a week prior, and was planning on overseeding & fertilizing) and he gave me some useful tips & observations on the state of my lawn. I have a few nagging sprinkler issues which I may have them come out and address if I can't resolve them myself. Very happy with the service and would hire Vintage again!

UPDATE 3/7: I thought it was important to respond to Jacob's…read moreresponse to my review. On what my husband said to them - My husband told me they came to the door and said they're done, which is different than what Jacob said he said. Because what Jacob did not mention was that I told the brother to talk to ME and not my husband, which he didn't do. I said to text/call me. He didn't do that either. My husband works from home. He should've checked, but I said to his brother to talk to me because I knew my husband would be too busy to check. We can go on and on about "he said, she said," (or in this case, "he said, he said,") situation. In my experience, that isn't helpful which is why I only wrote about my experience and what the end product looked like. But since it was mentioned, I wanted to add those additional information so people can get the whole picture. Jacob was right that they were notified and that they came back the next day to pick up the debris, which is what we agreed to. I want everyone reading this to know that the team that came and did an exceptional job, was only expected to pick up the debris. When Jacob mentioned I said they went "above and beyond" was because they picked up the debris AND decided on their own terms (I assume) to clean the yard the way a clean up should have been done in the first place. I told this to Jacob in the hope that they would be celebrated. It was a giving and vulnerable gesture for Jacob to share another gardener's contact information. I'm still debating whether it would be a good idea or not. Vintage definitely will do their best to mend their mistakes. They're kind and respectful people. They want to do well. I want to be clear that I could not recommend Vintage not because that they're mean or awful people. No; They aren't. I can't recommend them because I want to recommend a lawn service that knows how to do the job they are advertising themselves for, consistently. My standard for a clean up is for the company to pick up the rotten fruits on the ground, to cut the lawn/weeds low, to not pull delicate plants that were mentioned not to, and to pull weeds that were clearly overgrowing. They didn't meet those standards. I've had multiple experience with them for yard maintenance and now, two times with yard clean up. I commend them for always trying to fix their mistakes, but again, these yard expectations should be done on the first time. This review was based off of months of using them for yard maintenance and now yard clean up twice. Perhaps they do better in a much more manicured yard setting where they're able to focus on just the lawn and rose pruning -- something more straight forward and simple. With my review, I hope if people are going with them that they are attentive to these things so they have a better experience than I did. I hope they hold Vintage more accountable. If Vintage truly are "willing to fix their mistakes and will gladly jump at the opportunity to mend this less than stellar service," then I hope this review will help them towards that. It is unfortunate it didn't work out with me, but please make your own decision and let's hope there's growth.

Brigadoon, Evergreen

After a year and a half, my mulch was thinning due to natural decomposition and the wind blowing…read moresome away. There were bare spots, as well as visible drip irrigation lines, and weeds sprouting up due to lack of mulch. I contacted two companies I had worked with before, but the cost was significantly more than expected, so I reached out to a couple of 4.8-5.0 star Yelp landscapers. One said they were out of state and no-serviced the request, but Maria of Sandoval Landscaping & Gardening got back to me the same evening that the bid request went out. She offered to meet me the next day to get an in-person look at the job and give me a quote. After looking at the backyard and seeing the mulch was actually pretty good there, I asked for her thoughts on only doing the front. Maria agreed the front definitely needed a new layer, but the back was in pretty good shape and didn't really need to be done right away or I could spot cover specific areas myself. The other two companies with higher prices quoted a new 1" layer, which seemed kind of thin - or at least would require another re-mulching sooner than what was ideal. But Maria and Armando said they'd apply 2-3", which seemed more in-line with what I was originally expecting in a re-mulch job. Even with that thicker coverage, their price was very reasonable, they could do the job the next day, and they'd also do a little bit of clearing of dead plant material as part of the job. Great! We agreed to move forward and she told me approximately when she and Armando would arrive the next day and roughly how long it would take. They showed up on time, got to work right away, and even did another mulch supply run when they realized the original load wouldn't be enough to cover the whole front yard. That impressed me - instead of just spreading out the original load thinner, they wanted to do the job to their high standards and just acquired more mulch. As you can see from the pics, they did a great job! Since I like to expose some of my more delicate tree trunk bases/root balls to the air (vs cover them in dirt or mulch), when I cleared the base area on those trees, I was able to see they did apply a nice thick layer all over the yard. This should last me at least a couple of years, maybe more. I couldn't be happier with the quality and value of their work. Both Maria and Armando are extremely friendly, flexible, and professional. Would love to use them on a future job when new landscaping is required.

Highly recommended! Great work and efficiency! Definitely value for money. Arrived on time and…read morecompleted the sprinkler replacement job as promised.

Parkview, Blossom Valley

Bryan and his team did a fantastic job cleaning up our back yard…read more They faced several challenges and each was handled with professionalism, experience, and care. My HOA/community doesn't provide "green" waste dumpsters, so they needed to haul away all of my yard's debris ...and there was a lot of it. I've hired several Lawn/Garden companies in the past- and ALL of them left my yard cleaner than before, but with a sickening "oily" smell of gasoline/diesel-powered equipment (trimmers, blowers, vacuum). NOT Difference Mowing! Their "difference" is using all battery-electric equipment AND spending the time to do the work correctly. They're knowledgeable of different plants and know what needs to be done to revive and maintain healthy growth. My yard needed a lot of weeding because I let things go way too long. They turned my yard from a hopeless mess into a good looking and much easier-to-maintain space for which I can be proud. My plants appreciate their skill and care too! It's my pleasure to re-hire them on a bi-weekly basis for general maintenance. Excellent work. Thanks guys.

Finding reliable, professional, and reasonably priced landscaping services can be extremely…read moredifficult, especially when managing multiple properties. After speaking with several companies and receiving multiple quotes, Bryan the Landscaper stood out immediately for both his professionalism and pricing. I contacted Bryan needing urgent help at one of my properties, and he arrived in less than an hour. Not only was his response time impressive, but he completed the entire job in under an hour as well. His professionalism, work ethic, and attention to detail truly exceeded expectations. What makes Bryan stand out even more is that he is a young entrepreneur out here building something for himself the right way. You can see the dedication in the way he communicates, shows up prepared, and takes pride in his work. His pricing was by far the best I found, especially for the level of service he provides. Affordable, dependable, hardworking, and respectful. That combination is rare to come across these days. I will absolutely continue using Bryan for ongoing property maintenance and highly recommend him to anyone looking for elite, high caliber landscaping services while also supporting a young man who is truly putting in the work to build his future.
