    Juan and his crew did great work building a wood retaining wall and leveling our entire yard so we had a level surface across our yard - this was something that Juan suggested that really made the yard turn out well. The installation of the steel edging, gravel, and sod was done really well. Make sure you are really clear on what will occur on your project. Juan's services were well worth the super affordable pricing he provided. We definitely got our money's worth!

    Juan and JR Landscaping crew did a great job with a backyard patio and flooding avoidance work in my house. It was a challenging job, and it is not the first time his crew delivers exceptional quality with a reasonable price. Thank you!!!

    Yard after work finished

    I had quite a bit of work done by JR Landscaping in August 2023. The scope of work included: * replacing fences * landscaping part of the front yard * adding some width to my driveway * drainage in the backyard * covering the ground with base rock * some artificial turf * clearing a ton of weeds. I repeatedly told JR from the beginning and during the project, that I was paying for this work to be done to relieve myself from any exacerbation of a lingering severe back pain from an injury. I needed as much weed mitigation as possible. I ran into some issues during the project that, in hindsight, I should have recognized as a pattern of behavior. 1. One of my fences had a 90* turn in it. When JR Landscaping built the new fence, they did not include the section that turned 90*. I pointed this out and JR claimed that there was no turn in the fence. He did not believe me until I produced pictures showing the turn in the fence. 2. When they brought drainpipes in to do the drain, I noticed that it was the lower end black flexy pipe (but not the worst, as JR tried to point out later). I told the job supervisor I wanted the sturdier drainpipe so I wouldn't have to dig it up in 5 years because the plastic failed. The next day, the crew was putting in the cheaper stuff. I talked to JR. He said the supervisor had told him, but he "disregarded my request" (yes, his words). I had to have a conversation with him about it, pointing out that disregarding your client like that is a bad practice and is unprofessional. He seemed to listen and take it to heart. I suspect now he disregarded this advice. He procured better drainpipe, although it cost me more. 3. During the project they removed a lot of dirt to level my yard and get the drainage in. The earth remover ended up putting an eight-foot-long crack in my sidewalk. When I brought it up to JR, he denied it. I once again had to produce pictures to show him I was telling the truth. He claimed that the city would not let them fix it. He further suggested that I tell the city I don't know how the crack got there when I call in for the repair. 4. While the yard looked great right after the work was finished, that did not last long at all. I understand that weeds will still grow. However, about 7-10 days later, I noticed a lot of weeds had grown already. Upon further inspection, I noted that the backyard had no weed blocker under the base rock! There was weed blocker in the front yard (though apparently it had holes in it), so I'm not sure why there was no weed blocker in the backyard. Additionally, in another few days, I noticed weeds were coming up through the artificial turf as well. So clearly no weed mitigation under the turf either. I emailed JR to ask why no weed blocker was put down in the backyard, given what I told him about my spine injury. He never responded to me. Now, my backyard is completely overgrown again, defeating the whole point of hiring landscapers. Either I will have to hire someone else to come in and fix JR Landscaping's work, or do it myself. I would recommend against hiring JR Landscaping. If you have already hired them, you are going to have to watch them like a hawk.

    One of many projects Juan and team worked on at my house.

    Juan is very reliable, hard working, and kind. His team did a wonderful job on our front yard and I highly recommend him.

    Juan made sure to go over the plan with me often throughout the project to make sure we were on the same page.

I…read morehad an existing gate that was set up, strictly on a solar panel with batteries when the weather got bad cloudy days or when the solar panel got too much pollen on it or just got dirty. the gate would be super slow and it just wouldn't work. I had finally decided it was time to switch it over to a electric gate with battery back up. Ron understood my needs perfectly. He told me he would have his son Shawn Call me to discuss exactly what I needed done requested that I send him. Some pictures pictures were sent. SHAWN got back to me promptly told me what he felt was the best motor for the job which was a LiftMaster, which was a name that I'm familiar with as I've had LiftMaster garage doors for many years never had a single problem so I'm sure there reliability carried over to their GATE motors. Other companies have come out to give me a bid you'll see in the pictures attached below the existing motor they all told me that they would need to come and pour a concrete slab to mount the new LiftMaster motor that would take a few days and it definitely increase the price immediately just by looking at the pictures Ron had a different plan. He was able to have this plan because he has master welders part of his installation team, they thought outside the box and said now this will be a quick and easy job. You already have two posts that are sunk in the ground for the existing motor so on site they fabricated and welded a tray and then welded it to the two existing post so you'll see the new motor is suspended above the ground which I like better anyway kind of keeps rodents not wanting to go in there and just keeps the whole thing cleaner when I'm blowing out, unable to blow underneath it leaves and things their installation was on time because of the welding and not having to pour a slab they were in and out one day they painted the old gate they tested it. They provided me with three remotes and two keypads. I would not hesitate to call them again in the future for any other needs specially because their ability to think outside the box, manufacture, and weld on site. Shawn is the Son. He's the one that you'll do most communications with definitely very knowledgeable follows through calling explaining and made sure to let you know that they'll be there to stand behind the product and installation the entire warranty. And beyond in needed. Great family operation don't hesitate to give them a chance to assess your situation. LOCAL GATE SERVICE Ron & Shawn two thumbs up Five stars

My husband contacted Ron and after speaking for a few minutes, Ron decided to have his son Shawn contact my husband. After speaking to my husband, Shawn felt that our gate could be fixed over the phone. In 20 minutes, Shawn was able to help my husband fix our gate and at no charge! After the service, Ron offered us 1 year of consultation, which was also a blessing in disguise. If you need gate repairs, or want a new fence/gate, call Ron and get a GREAT DEAL!!! Thank you Ron and Shawn and keep up the great work!

Thankfully, Yelp has been super helpful with our search for a contractor and we landed on using Garcia Fencing. We reached out for a quote and the contractor Kenny was quick in setting up a time to come over for an initial assessment (discussed what needed to be fixed and what style of wood (board on board)/stain to fix with) and quote of the overall cost. Let's just say the overall project to replace all the backyard fence can be pretty expensive but we received a reasonable estimate. It only took them about a little bit more than half a day to get the entire fence replaced which was super impressive. We did end up having to call them back another day to do some additional fixes for some gaps on the fences that we noticed but they were able to come to fix those up. The new fence did end up looking very nice and sturdy! The stain really does make it look very polished and clean. Overall, we had a good experience working with Garcia fencing and would recommend for any future fencing needs. Also warranty is seven years so def a big help for any future fencing concerns.

They worked with me on figuring out how to hide a sump pump pipe and navigating through our neighbor's concerns. The build quality is very nice and the crew was great about making adjustments for issues we discovered during the build. They even made the back of the fence look nice for our neighbor by covering the sump pipe. Communication with Wilson and his onsite crew was great. They also did a very good job cleaning up. They didn't have the cheapest quote but I felt this is one of those kind of things where you get what you pay for. For something we see every day I wanted it to be right. Great job A1!

Homeowner experience I hired A-1 Fence to replace an aging fence at my house, and the difference is night and day. Matt took the time to walk the property with me, explain options, and give a clear, detailed estimate with no surprises. The crew showed up exactly when they said they would, worked efficiently, and left my yard cleaner than they found it. The new fence looks fantastic, feels solid, and has already gotten compliments from neighbors. Work on my mom's house After seeing the quality of their work at my place, I had A-1 Fence come out to my mom's house for a much-needed fence and gate upgrade. Matt was incredibly patient with her questions, never rushed her, and helped her choose something safe, secure, and attractive. His team treated her property with real respect, checked in with her at every key step, and made sure she was comfortable with the plan and timeline. Knowing my mom now has a sturdy, professionally installed fence gives our family real peace of mind. Matt and his team Matt is the kind of owner you want on any project: responsive, honest, and deeply knowledgeable about fencing and gates. He returned calls and emails quickly, kept us updated on scheduling, and personally checked the work when it was done. His foreman and crew clearly take pride in their craftsmanship--every line is straight, the posts are set perfectly, and the finish work is meticulous. You can tell this is a long-standing, family-run business that cares more about doing it right than just getting it done fast. Why I'd recommend them Between my home and my mom's, we got consistent, top-tier service, fair pricing, and beautiful results from A-1 Fence. They handled everything--from removal of the old fence to the final cleanup--with professionalism and courtesy. If you're in the Bay Area and need any kind of residential fencing, I would not waste time shopping around; call Matt at A-1 Fence and you'll be in excellent hands.
