I wanted to update this and add that back in April we invited Fil out to give us a quote on a new wood fence and automatic gate for the front yard. From start to finish he did an amazing job. The fence constantly gets compliments and knowing that Fil had the best combination of great price and quality materials. We had a few other companies come out and they either had over-the-top quotes or tried to sell us on cheap low-quality materials. I would highly recommend Fil and he's so easy to work with! Thanks again Fil. read more

I do not recommend this company. I hired Fil to replace the landscaping at my house in July-August, 2020. His crew was great and they did a good job. A couple months after they finished many of the plants died. I sent photos and asked Fil to replace them. He told me we needed to wait until it was warm again. I contacted him in May, when he said he would replace the dead plants. Nothing happened in June even though I contacted him again. Nothing happen in July, so I contacted him again in August and asked for a refund so that I could just buy the plants and replace them myself. On August 13 he said he needed a week and then he would send me the refund. It is now September 14 and I still have dead plants (more have died in the meantime), no refund and not a word from Fill. After I posted this review Fil contacted me and did follow through on providing a refund. As I mentioned above, his crew is professional. read more

Referred a neighbor over to Fil today and than I realized I never updated my review. In short, our landscaping looks amazing!! Fil was super professional , patient and had very competitive pricing. I would highly recommend him if you're thinking of doing any sort of landscaping for your property. We had a new construction , so literally Fil and I walked the dirt , and used the architectural plans as guides on what should go where but Fil was instrumental in helping me pick out the specific plants that would meet city codes/restrictions. We did something very serene for the area outside the guest bedrooms that had large French doors and even though my husband was against turf at first he was very happy with the outcome. We've entertained quite a bit and have had a few people stay over and they have all loved waking up to the landscaping outside of their room. Thanks Fil! read more

We got a couple bids and decided to go with Green Touch for our front yard new landscaping. I was pretty specific in what I wanted and even provided Fil (the owner) a sketch. He was very receptive and accommodating, while making a few design suggestions based on his expertise and experience. The bid was reasonably priced, his crew worked fast and professionally, and he was present every day managing the project. It was a great experience and we are very happy with the results. Project included: new modern desertscape planter design and landscaping, new sod, d.g. alongside house and around front tree, parkway step stones, sprinkler and irrigation system, uplighting and path lights. read more

Last year I bought a fixer upper house with no landscaping and a yard overgrown with trees, I spent 6 months going through quotes to landscape the front yard and clean out all the trees/weeds in the backyard. I was about to go with my neighbor's unlicensed gardener who my neighbor swears by and then... Then one day I received an advertisement for Green Touch on my door step. I rarely consider these advertisements that starts collecting at my door. But after checking their awesome yelp reviews, their portfolio on the website and knowing they were licensed, I gave Green Touch a call. I thought to myself, one more quote won't hurt. Fil the owner came out to give me a quote on the following: removal of 17 trees, prune 3 trees, stump grinding, weed removal, grading, sprinklers, sod, flower beds with borders, flagstone pathway and uplighting. Yup, I needed someone who was willing to give me quote on all this and more. Guess what, I choose to work with Fil for many reasons. Fil price was competitive, he was licensed, had liability insurance for his workers, he was detailed in his quote, gave me a computer design of the yard, responds quickly to emails, texts and phone calls, and I respect his professionalism. What was more surprising, was the job started on time and ended on time. I don't expect contractors to stay on a timeline, but Fil did and I can't complain. Additionally, Fil met with my husband and I before work, at lunch and after work to ask us for feedback before moving forward. I 'm always nervous when my husband deals with contractors because his perfection mode can be overwhelming for anyone. My husband is OCD and he loved Fil for being just as OCD as he is. The end product, is the front yard I always wanted and a backyard cleaned up from all the fruit and overgrown trees. Even my neighbor hired him to clean up his trees in his backyard. The next project is grading the back yard, sprinklers and new sod. And yes, we will hire Fil again. read more

This review is specifically for landscaping and tree-trimming. I know that one or two extremely rude and horrible workers shouldn't be representing the company as a whole, but whoever is in charge of managing their employees should set a standard for everyone's work ethics. Basically while trimming the trees around my property, the tree branch struck my window and left scratches on the property. I yell (because of the sound of the chainsaw?) at the workers to be careful and they just speak and curse to me in Spanish. I am 100% okay with people not being able to communicate in English, but when you point at me and say the word PUTA after damaging my property? That's disgusting and immoral. Rude, racist, discriminatory, horrible work ethics. Thankfully, a English speaking worker communicated to BE CAREFUL WHEN CUTTING AND THROWING and literally fixed the worker's habit of CARELESSLY TOSSING HUGE BRANCHES. This was the second time the trimmed and tossed tree branches striking the window which makes no sense when they can drop it vertically 90 degrees to the ground. read more

Final Update: Fil's crew came out a total of 4 times and really worked up a storm. They took my dilapidated front yard and turned it into a beautifully hardscaped work of art. I am totally impressed with the speed, quality and professionalism of the work. I will not hesitate to recommend Green Touch to anyone who needs landscaping work done! Great work, Fil and the Green Touch crew, you have earned a fan for life!! Update 2: Fil came out and did a very thorough walk around of my yard. He worked with us to create a plan to transform my current mess of weeds and dirt into a drought friendly landscape. His estimate is in line with others I have received and I contracted him to perform the work. Once the work is done, I will give my final update and post pictures of the before and after. Update: I received an email as well as the comment below from Fil. I understand being busy as I own my own small business and I am willing to give them another shot. I will update again once an appointment has been made and fulfilled. I contacted Green Touch about getting a quote to have some work done, according to their website the quote is free. However I was told that it would be $75. When I asked why their website says free, he said its free if the clients have a good idea of what they want. I said I did have a good idea of what I wanted but I have yet to hear back from them. Here is the email transcript: Initial email from Green Touch following the quote request: Hello and thank you for contacting us. We have our plant consultant/designer to meet with you for an hour for $75 She will help with plant recommendations and such. She can meet this Friday or Saturday. Let me know if that works. Thanks My Reply: Hi, I'm interested in making an appointment, but according to your website the consultation and quote is free. Is this not the case? Hi Reply: Probably need to update website. Quotes are free for landscape install when the clients already have a pretty good idead of what they want. I usually meet with the clients as a contractor and we brainstorm to come up with some plant ideas but it takes a lot of effort and time. Some clients prefer to meet with somebody who is more trained in plant material. Please let me know. My Final Email (as yet unanswered): Ok, we do have a decent idea of what we want, we just dont have the time or knowledge to get it done. We're open to suggestions of course since youre the experts. read more

So happy! Fil responded so fast to my Yelp request for a quote. Great communication. He fit our work in this morning, and his worker was on time and did exactly what I asked and wanted, and cleaned up thoroughly. We had 4 trees trimmed and cleaned up. We had four trees trimmed and cleaned up. Very reasonable pricing too. We will definitely use Green Touch in the future, and I recommend their service. Five solid stars read more

Mario and his team were quick and efficient. They took our our 20 year old drip system and replaced the front and back with all new drip. They add drip to new plants that propagated on their own (those we wanted to keep) and cleaned up as if they were never there. The price was very reasonable, and the quality was top-notch. I would recommend Green Touch Landscaping. I was so happy with the job, that I am now looking into a nother project with them. read more

I've used this service several times. Most recently I dealt solely with Sabino for irrigation installation, tree trimming, and bush hedging. He completed everything on time except the hedging of a bush. After I already paid and pointed out to him that one of the bushes wasn't hedged to my liking he followed through on his promise and sent workers out the next week to finish the job. I really appreciate that he followed through for me. This is a good company run by honest men. read more

I searched for about a month before finding Fil and his team. I hope you find this before you waste any time shopping around, hire Green Touch! They just finished our work today and I can't believe that this is our yard. They did a complete demo including removing trees, rose bushes, and more weeds and plants than I could count. Then, they updated our sprinkler system and installed new plants, mulch, and sod. EVERYTHING was done in three days, unbelievable. And, even better, it looks better than I could have every imagined. And, it was very cost effective! Fil is incredibly professional and was quick to communicate. He's also extremely knowledgeable about plants: what they are, and how much care they need, etc. He also has a fantastic eye for design, I sent him a few photos of what I liked and he knew exactly how to implement it (though I don't even think he needed the photos). His team were all extremely respectful, professional and boy do they work hard. They went so far above and beyond, even cutting down hedges and repairing a rose bush that weren't included at all in our proposal. If you're looking to hire someone to design your landscape, do landscaping work, or do any work on trees, these guys are your guys. We were so happy to hear that they also do gardening work and we will absolutely hire them to maintain our beautiful new yard! Thank you Fil! read more

I scheduled a meeting with Fil from Green Touch for an estimate on a landscape renovation project for both a rental property and my personal residence. He never showed up or answered my text. Finally after a second text he apologized for not responding and we scheduled a second appointment. After discussing what I wanted done I told Fil that I wanted to use his company. The rental was scheduled to be done in mid July and the residence in October. I asked for a summary of the work to be done and the cost both of which I never received. I followed up with another text and again received no response. In the third text I asked why he went to the trouble to spend a couple hours with me discussing the scope of the work and then never answered my contacts. In the final text I told him that if he didn't want the job the ethical thing to do would have been to discuss it with me. The obvious conclusion I came to was that he had enough work scheduled that my job was not attractive enough -- all of which could have been stated up front. Based on my experiences with people in the trades, if they can't keep an appointment to give an estimate, then good luck dealing with problems down the road. If you are considering hiring a landscape contractor, my advice would be to read all the Yelp reviews and not just the first ones that pop up. The negative reviews are often hidden in the back especially if the contractor advertises on Yelp. Green Touch is a company that I would never recommend. I did not find Fil to be trustworthy, and I discredit everything that he told me. read more

My yard had become a mess of weeds, uneven dirt, & plants I put in without much research that didn't work well. I met with 5 different vendors. 1 never provided a bid and a few could do part of the job but not all of the job or needed me to have a very concrete plan of what I wanted. I am very happy I met with Fil at Green Touch, he was able to help put my rough ideas into a solid plan. One of the reasons I selected Green Touch was that they could do the pavers & firepit as well as grass, irrigation & plants. Fil was patient while I researched different options and changed my mind multiple times before agreeing on a final plan. He suggested things I wouldn't have even thought of like plants to add more privacy & options that would hold up well with my dog. Workers showed up on time each day it wasn't raining and left the area clean each day. The job will be done today & I will have my new patio & yard to enjoy for Christmas! read more

Green Touch Tree Care is great. Fil is wonderful to work with. He was very passionate about the landscaping surrounding my home. I have used his services for tree trimming, tree removal, backyard design, planting and sprinkler repair. Fil was able to design a sprinkler configuration that would allow the flowers in my walkway flourish. He did it on the 1st try, unlike The Sprinkler Repair Guy who after at least 5 times did not ever get it correct. In fact I have so much trust in Fil that I recommended him to my Grandmother. She hired him to remove a giant palm tree from her backyard and as expected Fil and his crew did a wonderful job. The tree and roots are gone and there was no clean up left behind for my Grandmother to worry about. read more

We couldn't be happier with Fil and his team! They transformed our front yard and we have now hired them again to work on additional areas! We have so many people who compliment our yard and we are always referring people to these guys. We got several quotes and had several contractors out and some made it seem almost impossible to accomplish what we had envisioned. But Fil came out and put our minds at ease and came up with such an easy solution to making the space the way we wanted it. Their team worked incredibly fast and did things the right way even if it took a little longer. Can't wait to have them back to work on the other areas! You can't ask for a better company! Thanks again! read more

Nothing but great things to say about Fil and Green Touch. We used them to remove an ugly vine that was home to rodents, remove a couple of trees from our yard, install a multi-trunk Birch tree (which we subsequently had him replant), patch a portion of our back lawn with St Augustine and install a sprinkler system in front and back yards. Everything he and crew undertook was completed to order, and was as promised. They did a fantastic job on all the work. I tried to re-program the timer for the sprinkler system, and it goofed up the back sprinklers. I called him, and he personally came out this morning and reviewed the situation, made the appropriate adjustments, fixed the problem (I had jostled a wire loose) and thanked me once more for allowing him to provide his service. I don't expect that level of service (owner coming out on a Sunday morning), but I was sure impressed. No charge for the house call! I highly recommend Fil and Green Touch to anyone looking for landscaping services. I have used his company twice now, and all not hesitate to use them again in the future. Thanks again, Fil! read more

We collected multiple bids for major hardscaping and landscaping work for our backyard and side pathway. Fil was quite responsive and knowledgeable as you would hope someone to be in this field. He provided us with a competitive estimate and timeline like a couple other people had, but it was his communication with us that really drove our decision. We love to be involved throughout all our projects, and with as many questions as we had, Fil seemed to process quickly and efficiently provide options and solutions. Our final product was really great. When the promised finish time was delayed due to unforseen inventory problems, he worked with us to provide a solution that we were even more happy with than the original design. What I really appreciate is his attention to detail, and as with any project, when there were things that needed fixing, he was quick to respond and execute. He's earned my business with his work and great service, and I know he'll be the service of choice when the time comes to redo our front yard and driveway. Go Green Touch team! read more

Very professional quick and did a great job. Fil came out gave me a quote and explained everything very clearly. The next day he and his crew did all the work. Highly recommend. read more

Last week I called 10 Landscape companies listed on yelp, and received a phone call from Fil by the end of the day. His crew worked for us all day yesterday in Hermosa Beach, CA and we are very satisfied with their work. They were professional, hard working, and cleaned up after themselves perfectly. We will hire them again. read more

Can't say enough about this company, working with Fil and his crew was a great experience! Fil is very knowledgeable and offers great ideas, we went from a backyard of dirt to a beautifully lush landscaping in 3 days. read more

Fil and his team did an amazing job landscaping our home. They were very professional, thorough and courteous. Fil listened to our ideas and offered great suggestions. The final product came out better than we had expected and we are so happy. We highly recommend them. read more

Had ivy removed from the front of our house. Prompt replies and efficient work. Thank you! read more

Unfortunately this business also failed to show up for their scheduled appointment and failed to call to advise of need to reschedule. Cannot give them a favorable rating. But Yelp will require that I give them at least one star before I can post the review. Good luck everyone!! read more

While he was nice and seemed knowledgeable, he was late and then we never heard back about the quote. My husband made an appt at 11, we called at 12 when we hadn't heard from him and he said he had forgot and he'd come in 30, we'll about another hour later he showed up. Talked for a few mins, took my email "to send me a quote" and then never heard back. read more

I had reached out to Green Touch for service. Asked for a quote for some landscaping. The rep came out and gave me a price. A very high price. We ended the conversation with him saying, i'll check availability and reach out to you when we can get the job done. I said " ok, let me know." If I had received a 2nd quote at the same price I had the intentions of going with green touch. I had requested a quote from another landscaper. The 2nd quote was half the price. The next morning I was informed as I was away from home that they were at the location doing the job. I had never scheduled service. Only requested a quote and I was supposed to get a follow up from the rep. And they just decided to show up and start the job without notification and without me being present. Very unprofessional. Just shady business and I should have told them to leave without payment. I would definitely not recommend this company to anyone else. read more

Hubby called today and left a message to schedule a free quote. Did not get a return call. Very disappointing.. Their work looks like they do a good job too. Oh well.. Move on to the next one! read more

Great experience from start to finish. The visit for the estimate was thorough, the team was honest and hard-working. They made great recommendations and the landscaping looks great.

So...I finally received a response from GTT. In case it cant been seen......here is their response (broken into bullet point numbers) to my review on them not calling me back.....and my responses. Enjoy!!!! . Comment from Fil M. of Green Touch Tree and Landscaping Services Business Owner. Response dated 7/20/16. . (1) Thank you for your feedback. My response....You are welcome. . (2) Yes, we try to keep our overhead low, so our customer get a better price. My response....... What????? Somehow....not sure how they knew.... that I was concern about their overhead. How does a landscape company keep their overhead low since every landscape is different, and not everyone wants the same thing....this response seems to come out of left field. But alright...I think. . (3). We currently do not have dedicated phone person. My response...... Since you are so busy......you should be able to afford one. Right???? NO??? Oh yes....the overhead thing Sorry. . (4) When possible, we do answer the phone and return messages. My response..... When possible? Really???? Must be a one man show then. Is it possible that you can AT LEAST...call back...text back...or something??? No?? OK!! . (5). We receive several requests for estimates everyday and unfortunately we're not able follow up on all of them. My response....... Too much business???...You cant keep up? Can I take a number? NO??? . And finally. (6). We do care about our customers and try to prioritize as much as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience. . My response..... This would be true had they actually called me back. Instead......they did find time to prioritize on Yelp to answer my review!! O----K!!! . Tell you what guys....good luck with your business. And much success. But.......don't call me back...pls. erase my message. I will find a company that has no issues. read more

I am a real estate investor and have used Fil a few times now on various properties to trim/remove trees and tree limbs, trim shrubs and fruit trees, and do general gardening. Some are basic jobs and some are quite large, tricky jobs where he has to carefully remove and trim trees in hard to reach spots. He and his crew do a great job every time (which is why I keep using him!) Super honest and fair pricing and completes the job in the time frame he says. He is really knowledgeable too and will explain anything about trees if you want to know. Also, the bids he gives me always include pictures with an explanation of what the job will entail, which I find really helpful. Thanks Fil, appreciate your work! read more

First Class people Fidel(Fil) had a very reasonable price. We liked them so much we added work to his original estimate. We will use him/them again!!!! read more

They promptly scheduled an appointment to come out for an estimate the same day. prices are reasonable and they got the job done without hesitation. They arrived on time, and left the work area clean read more

Just had a tree removal done by these guys this morning. Amazing job, clean, friendly and professional. They gave me a great price and even cleaned up some of my mess(leaves and such) that was there before them! :) Just got my quote yesterday(day of me calling) and the job is already done and it's only 10am. I highly recommend these guys. I will definitely be calling for future services. read more

We've used Green Touch for landscaping in both our front and back yards. Fil worked with us to fit everything into our budget at the time, so we had the back completed first and the front completed second. The unique design they helped develop for the front was perfect to match the narrow attributes of our driveway so that I don't accidently back up over a sprinkler. Fil even came back to ensure that the lawn was being watered evenly, and replaced a patch that had dried out when adjusting the sprinkler flow. We still have Fil's crew come to the house a couple of times of year to knock back our hibiscus, and they always get the job done quickly and professionally. I absolutely recommend Green Touch Tree and Landscaping Services for all outdoor homeowner needs! read more

Loved working with Fidel, prices were fair and they did beautiful work. Highly recommend! read more

Hey! That's my yard in the picture above! We had a great experience with this company....highly recommend.

This company is amazing! They promptly scheduled an appointment to come out for an estimate. Their prices are reasonable and they scheduled the job sooner than we could even get anyone else to give us a bid. They arrived on time, did a thorough job and without prompting, completely cleaned up after themselves. read more

I've hired Fil and his crew to do some serious tree trimming. I was really concerned about the quality of the work to be done since I had obtained my neighbor's permission to trim the tree in my neighbor's yard. Fil and his crew did a great job. My neighbor was pleased with the quality of the work and that Fil's crew cleaned up carefully after they were finished with the work. I'll definitely ask Green Touch to do more work in the future. Paula, Huntington Beach read more

If I could give Green Touch ten stars, I would. Fil came as scheduled and gave me a quote to remove some monster trees from the back yard that were overhanging two neighbors properties, lifting their slabs and breaking block walls. They were also lifting the slab of my garage. Fil's crew was scheduled for 7:30 a.m. but showed up at 7:00 a.m. so they were all suited up and ready to start work at 7:30. a.m.. Those gentlemen worked like a well-oiled machine with no loud music, no personal chatter, no interjections of the 'F' word and no disasters to anyone's property (We won't talk about the angry racoon sleeping in one tree). All in all, they were absolutely professional, efficient and a pleasure to have around. They did the job and left all the properties involved spotless. I would (and will) happily refer them in the future. read more

Fil and his hardworking crew did a great job on totally re-doing our front and back yards; removed overgrown areas, added pavers, new sod, new drip and spray irrigation lines and was willing to work with us to lay things out the way we wanted them. He is also a great communicator-- we exchanged literally hundreds of texts during the 3 weeks of our project duration. He also had good suggestions for planting -- I have already recommended Green Touch to friends and neighbors! read more
