Unreliable and Overpriced - Avoid Mariano's Landscape…read more I hired Mariano's Landscape (based in Moreno Valley) in December 2024 to landscape my backyard. From the start, the experience has been frustrating and disappointing. Their services are expensive, and I expected quality work. Unfortunately, that's not what I received. The owner, Gabriel Mariano, planted diseased trees and assured me they would recover in warmer weather or be replaced. Months later--after numerous phone calls and site visits--nothing has been done. Communication has been all talk, with no follow-through. The concrete patio was another major issue. It was poured with a weak sand-and-cement mix that lacked any gravel or aggregate. I raised concerns, and they promised a quality control inspection would visit the job-site. No one ever came and Gabriel could not provide the name or license number of the concrete subcontractor they used. Bottom line: once they're paid, they disappear. They don't stand behind their work or resolve problems. I do not recommend Mariano's Landscape. The pictures speak for themselves.

From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Noe was extremely professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all of our questions and provided great recommendations that really helped bring our vision together. On the day of the project, he arrived exactly on time and completed everything exactly as estimated. The pricing was very fair, especially considering the quality of work and attention to detail. Everything turned out better than expected, and the yard looks fantastic. We are very happy and satisfied with the entire experience and would highly recommend Noe to anyone looking for landscaping work.

They also added drainage solutions in both our backyard and front yard to help prevent flooding, which gives us so much peace of mind. From start to finish, the process was incredibly professional. They worked efficiently, stayed exactly within the quoted budget, and completed the project right on schedule as promised. The craftsmanship and care they put into the project truly show. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality landscaping work!

Worker came over to trim my vines, cut down weeds and spray weed killer. He worked for 1-2 hours. There was great improvement in the appearance of my property, but I wish he would have taken time to clean up the remaining vines falling from the tendrils. Like when you get a hair cut-the barber trims the base around your neck area to make it look nicer. I demonstrated to him that these green vines needed to be removed, but he said if he cut the stems it would kill the vines. We weren't communicating. when it cools down I'll have to go and finish the work. I've done this trimming before and it took 2 hours. The cash I paid (does not accept credit cards) was quite high for the time he spent. I even provided two trash cans for his use.

We are currently wrapping up a multi-phase backyard renovation with the help of Greenscape/Evolve…read moreand I am thoroughly impressed. Initially I had intended to hire them for only the first phase of our project, but they did such a good job and beat competitors prices to earn our business as we moved into other phases. To shade this further, I am an HOA manager and frequently hire and manage all types of vendors -I am very familiar with the process of working with landscape and pool companies and I really believe this one is exceptional enough to give a raving review. Juan and Sal were incredibly professional, their equipment was up to date, their knowledge was extensive, and their team was respectful. Every day they worked hard all day only breaking for a brief lunch; they cleaned up and made our yard safe for our dogs every evening (or let us know if there was something we should be aware of like wet cement). If there was a problem they provided a solution and made it right. In several instances they went above and beyond by helping us with additional requests along the way like removing a shrub or an additional piece of concrete without nickel and diming us. The crew was the same guys for most of the job, which allowed us to feel more secure in leaving our home under their care while we came and went throughout the day. For every job they mobilized FAST; working to get us scheduled within just a day or two of each contract signature. Juan and Sal did not disappear after the initial bid either- they were there every day either supervising or working alongside the crew, and when I had a question they were super responsive via text. I also really appreciated they accept major credit cards without an additional fee. As far as specific job areas: Demolition: This may seem straightforward but our demo involved quite a bit of skill and attention to detail. They dismantled a poorly built fishpond and retained the material for us, providing pallets and stacking them neatly so that we were able to sell them later. They made excellent cuts to our cement and removed portions so that you can't even tell that it hasn't always been that way. They removed a wall built of boulders and glass bottles (don't ask me what the prior homeowner was thinking) with a deep footing that ran adjacent to the pool without breaking anything or hurting any surrounding plants. Concrete pouring: This came out beautiful. we had new steps poured, a new slab, and some steps added on to existing cement. They blend so well and the finish and border is lovely. We caught a small miscommunication between framing and pouring and they came early the next morning to make sure it was taken care of with time to spare before the cement truck got here. They coordinated with our pergola contractor to be sure they properly placed the footings and conduit too. Pool tile: We were not originally planning to redo our pool tile but the price was so fair that we couldn't refuse. The project was originally scheduled to take a little longer, but when I requested it to be expedited because I was hosting Easter that weekend, they made it happen. Even though it wasn't in our original scope, this is one of the things we are most satisfied with- it made such a big difference to our yard and the tile selections were beautiful. They also thoroughly cleaned the plaster - it looks like a whole new pool. Fence: Because we had to work with our neighbors on this, it was a little tougher to make everyone happy. Even so, Greenscape/Evolve made it happen even when it meant they had to redo some things to satisfy multiple parties. We had a very specific design in mind for our front facing fence (horizontal with metal accents) and they were able to create something similar for our budget. As mentioned, there are some odds and ends that we are still wrapping up, but I believe that this is a rare company that is ethical and deserving of trust. It seems there is nothing they can't do.
