    Great Work! Our backyard looks now much cleaner and bright Requirement: Considering small space in our backyard,we were looking for retainer beds for planting the seasonal veggies and flowers along with some open space for arranging sitting area. Project Delivery: Completed the work within given timeframe.Quality for material brought and used is good too.We liked the retainer bed finishing and pavers installation without disturbing AC unit.They also followed up on installing the water irrigation and completed it.All the remaining debris was hauled as well.Only outside our backyard little cement was remained as it got over the mulch.OveralI satisfied and delivered as per expectation.

    My review is based on the experience working with this team during the different phases of project: Pre-work, the Work phase and Conclusion/follow through Initial phase/Pre Work: Freddy is quick in responding and came in to understand the project need and provide estimates immediately. He is good at communications and easy to talk with. Tip: make sure all the important project details are laid out in the contract which Freddy will diligently document and provide. The Work Phase: the team was on time and did work well on getting things done. Freddy was able to accommodate some changes and additional work as well of-course with additional charges but it helped us to get things done which we realized later when work had already started. Conclusion/Follow Throughs: Freddy and team finished most of their work except a badly leaking sprinkler was missed as an oversight. He came back a few weeks later to fix it and also based on our request double checked how all the plantations and drip line system was doing. He was kind enough to bring fertilizer for the lawn, plants and trees! I would highly recommend Martinez Landscaping Gardening for their excellent and professional gardening services!

    Redwood fencing done by Fredy and his company back in January 2019.
    Leah P.

    Fredy's company had done some work on our yard back in January 2019. They installed redwood fencing along the backyard, trimmed the plants and trees and cleaned up our yard. It was easy to communicate with Fredy. Although, there was a little set back with time arrangement and fencing stability (it was raining and ground was wet), he was a man of his word and hard working - did some of the work himself and came back when he said he would to patch some work. Our fence is still standing and looking good. Thank you Fredy and company.

    At the beginning, Fredy is good at communication, when you asked what you need and want, he always says yes. But during the project, he didn't come to check her crews. You need to check and look at every detail. And his crew didn't speak a lot of English, so it is hard to communicate. And when he said with him on phone, he reject the things you ask before. During our project, his crews install our timber deck on the opposite side. And I asked to reinstall it. Freddy said the deck can also install on that side. But when I consult with Timbertech company. They told me it was wrong. So I insisted his crews reinstall it. But Freddy was unhappy. He said why I didn't tell his crews when they are installed at the beginning. I can't believe that the professional landscaping company made this big mistake and they didn't even notice. Until I feel it was not right, and ask them to reinstall it. Fredy was unhappy, so I pay the extra material fee to install it again. And now, after 6 months pass away, my deck started to curve and looks uneven. They are not professional and have bad-quality projects. Freddy said he has 10 years warranty, but no matter how I sent him pictures or call him. he didn't respond and answer the phone. Also, they rush to end the project, but when we go through at the end, he said he will ask his crews to come back, But also, no response. Remember, if you want to hire them, please hold your money until the final walk go through and done. It was a nightmare to work with him. You have to check every signal detail by yourself during the project. He seldom show and do any project by himself. Also, it is hard to communicate with his crew. And they install our extra outlet unprofessional, he said he will come back to fix it, but no show. Not a professional landscaping company. Very disappointed and unresponsible.

    I need to have someone to replace a fallen fence. Fredy responded fast and he came on site for inspection and quotes. On the construction day, Fredy and his crew arrived at the scheduled time. They did a good job and it looks very nice now. Check the picture for their work. They also helped me to remove the old fence and put the messy fallen leaves into the bin. I would recommend Fredy!

    Front yard finish with succulent plants, rocks and mulches!
    Yiqing L.

    I was looking for someone to do the front yard landscaping and found Fredy's team on yelp very randomly. Fredy is very friendly, easy to communicate and can almost adapt to whatever need I have. The price is also affordable. Overall, the whole experience turns out to be awesome. Fredy's team is very productive. My front yard has about 800 sqft and they finish the whole thing, from removing the old weed to finishing the final look in about 2 weeks. He even helped me remove some of the bushes I don't want near my front door. Fredy is very easy going and can adapt to my needs as long as he could. In the middle of the project, I had some new ideas about how I wanna do the rocks and plans, Fredy always promised he can do that without any problem. He also helped me check the irrigation system and fixed it which I really appreciate. Fredy is also very supportive about after service needs. I found some roaches in my front yard, which was probably brought by the recent construction I did. Fredy came and helped me put on the insect killer without accepting any tips. I would definitely recommend Fredy to anyone who want to so home landscaping, gardening project. You won't go wrong with him and I myself am going to do my back yard lawn with him very soon!

    Got my backyard done (Clean out area, remove edging wood, layout new grass, sprinklers and paving) from these guys in December 2018. I had to constantly kept reminding them to remove the rotten edging wood. I also asked them about removing the weed and leveling the ground before laying down the grass. They asked me not to worry and told me that they will do a good job. Freddy promised 1 year warranty on the work they performed. Here is a situation after they were done. Couple of the sprinklers were not were not working properly, had issues with the head. initially it wasn't that bad but it got worst. This is 6 months after they were done. When we started planting fruit trees we found out that they buried (hid) the edging wood under the soil. We had to take out all of that. We also started seeing the weeds regrowing in the areas ( in laid out grass) where we had issue. The deal was they will clean the area, use a tiller to clean-out, level the soil before laying the grass. Even now when we walk-on the grass we can feel its patchy and uneven. The installed pavers started showing cracks at the joints and got worst over the period of time. Even weed started growing in the cracks. I contacted Freddy in late 2019 to come by and fix some of these issues. First of all, he ignored all the messages and did not respond to any of it. When reminded him about 1 year warranty on the work and leaving a bad review, he responded saying that he doesn't care about reviews anymore because he got some 3 year contract with KB Homes. DO NOT WORK WITH THESE GUYS. HUGE HEADACHE. DON'T TRUST THEIR WORD.

    We noticed some water accumulation around our sprinkler valves. Based on the positive Yelp reviews we decided to reach out to this business. Fredy was responsive on Yelp messaging and agreed to do the job. He came with an assistant and replaced some valves. However, the problem persisted. He came one more time to try and fix it but wasn't able to. He agreed to come again but hasn't since. Overall Fredy is: - super polite and courteous - did not ask to be paid but I still paid in full because he did replace the valves - super unreliable, has given us at least 5 time slots and not showed up - did not complete the job - this is the current state of our project

    Paver walkway, retainer wall.
    Yun T.

    Fredy and his team did a great job. He finished the project in two weeks for paver walkways and retainer walls. He cleaned up everything after finished the project. We had some small changes we want to make after he finished the project. He came and made the changes for us. We are really happy for the results.

    Absolutely disappointed by the lack of response and responsibility from Fredy. In March 2020, we contracted Fredy and team to renovate our backyard. We had slippery tiles, an ugly pergola and sectioned garden. We had it replaced with an open space with pavers installed, an irrigation system, waterfall & few other small tasks. The initial quote was $15,000. First the positives - the team did a good job and in a timely manner. Fredy was cooperative while scoping the job and during the project. When I found any issues, they were happy to correct them without any trouble. From an aesthetic point of view, I didn't get much input and they moved plants in a haphazard way, they didn't take care of the kumquat tree when it was moved and dumped concrete all around it that it has practically died. And I'd expect that for a landscaping company, they should have been better at it. But this wasn't a biggie for us - Fredy helped convert our not-so-used space to a clean open space that we use regularly. And especially during the pandemic, it has been a blessing! As far as the work itself goes, I would give the team 4/5 . Now coming to the disappointment. Towards the end of the job, the statewide lockdown was introduced and we thought that it was not fair to expect the team to be out and working at this time. We offered to make a partial payment, to which Fredy requested if we could make the full $15k payment as most work had been completed and there was only 1 day's work. We felt that was OK as they'd been pretty sincere up until this point and that was our BIG mistake! The next day I asked Fredy for an invoice and sent him a list of outstanding items. This included completing the irrigation system, completing the waterfall installation, building planters and building the grapevine trellis and other clean-up tasks. Fredy promised that his guys would be back once the COVID situation settles to finish the job. A few weeks later I had still not received the invoice. Few months after businesses started to open, I contacted Fredy and there was NO response! Several calls and messages later, he tells me that he had a new phone and didn't know who I was. At which point, he said he was fairly booked and could only get to us in October. October was at least a few months away but I didn't want to go through the hassle of finding another contractor and double-paying for this project. Come November, and I still have an unfinished backyard, no irrigation system, no trellis and a load of stones occupying my driveway!! Again, no response to messages or calls - I wonder if Fredy lost his phone again and my contact with it?! These are terrible times and I definitely want to give him the benefit of doubt. But my experience thus far shows that it's more a lack of ethic and conscience than anything else. At the least, I should have heard back from him. I feel extremely cheated and disappointed. We were being nice and considerate and this is how we get paid!

    Respectful, honest, hardworking, friendly, detailed. I highly recommend Fredy and his crew! They removed pavers and a bridge, did concrete sidewalks, filled and concreted over our pond and leveled our front yard. He paid attention to detail and listened to everything we needed done. I accidentally overpaid him and he texted me immediately to let me know. Our neighbor was so impressed Fredy is squeezing in a job for them over the weekend for them. We also already have a quote for Fredy to do our backyard. We are so happy and thankful we went with Martinez Landscaping. April 2019: Fredy's crew just did some work on our backyard and they handled the job beginning to end with all details finished. They are hard working and so respectful and kind.

However, I found the bin still full the next day with no new updates from Republic Services. I reported it again and this time got a phone call from an irate employee informing in a very condescending tone that I had created the problem by putting in an object that is stuck and does not empty out trash on the hopper. I was a bit confused as the bin was half empty and the obstructing object was smaller than the bin(note that our bin is a full size bin). At this point, I again got an earful, was deemed argumentative and was threatened that the next pick up will also an issue if I do not resolve the problem. Note that the employee never acknowledge that they missed telling me about the situation yesterday and are sharing it now as I reported the issue again. I also don't think I was arguing, I was a bit skeptical that the said object would block emptying out a full size bin and certainly did not want to imply that I don't believe the driver. I do appreciate it that someone came out to attempt to pick up but I did not appreciate the lack of communications which required me to follow up and definitely don't appreciate the tone and attitude of the employee who called me with an update. I would rank this as my worst interaction ever with a representative of a business. FWIW...since I had remediate the problem, I flipped the cart and everything toppled out including the obstructing object. I dumped things back in but with the obstructing object at the bottom of bin. Lets what happens next week.
