My wife and I recently chose Joel to complete a long overdue landscaping project for our front and…read moreback yard and we are beyond happy with the result. Our project consisted of pouring 2 concrete slabs (1 along the side of the house and a second in the backyard), planting a boarder trim, and installing sprinkler systems in our back and front yard. Joel and crew completed all parts of this project with attention to detail and communicated effectively throughout. First and foremost, I have to give a huge shout out to the team lead managing the concrete part of our project. His attention to detail in recommending ideal drain setups in the sections where water had pooled in the past are exactly why we went Joel - we want to do things right the first time. After chatting with Joel, we installed the recommended drains, preventing a potentially expensive fix down the road. The rest of the project was completed with professionalism and Joel was great in communicating and working with our needs. Our one constructive feedback is that we did not receive a mock-up of the project before work was underway. We had a few last minute changes (the width of the trim around the backyard and the size of the mulch area in the front yard), but Joel & team communicated effectively and worked with us to make sure our needs were taken care of. All in all, we are so happy with our completed project. The level of professionalism, attention to detail, and our new back/front yard makes us confident that we made the correct choice in choosing Joel for our project. Thank you!

BRING ON THE SUPER EL NINO!…read more Joel and Sons recently completed a much overdue project at our home. For years, our outside drains were clogged, and I found myself setting up pumps during the storms to get the pools of water away from our home. Every year, I would tell myself that I would get the drains cleared. Before the rains came this past winter, I hired a company to hydro jet the pipes. They tried to clear the drains, but because they were so clogged, their equipment failed. Again, I was setting up the pumps during the rain storm. So, I researched and found Joel and Sons. I met Joel and he examined our front/back yards. He gave an excellent and fair estimate that would fix the drainage problems. Throughought the entire project, Joel sent videos of the work being performed. He and the crew went above and beyond to make sure we wouldn't have any future issues. I am so impressed by Joel and Sons, and I will call them again for future projects. More importantly, I will make referrals to my family and friends.

I did not end up utilizing Grow Control for the final bid. However, if anyone is thinking of Grow…read moreand Control, do give them a chance as Jesus had been nothing but professional during our entire interaction. Prompt followup, prompt responses, no pressure. If it was in my budget, I really would have given them a chance on their professionalism alone. I didn't have to 'chase' responses. They came timely. Not overwhelming. They have a very comprehensive price breakdown and payment schedule, so payment isn't all upfront but in increments as the job is completed. Even declining they remained professional. Thank you again Jesus for your patience! I wish you and your company success for the excellent customer service.

Already time for another update wow! We've been with the awesome team at Grow Control 3 years now…read moreand I just can't say enough good things about them! Krystal, Jesus, and all their staff really provide professional, quality service and care for our yard and irrigation needs. We initially got started with them for a total clear out and clean up of our existing landscape and ended up sticking with them for weekly maintenance services and little projects here and there and have never looked back! Anytime there are issues, they are on it!! Today was another example - I asked Steve if he would just check up on my back sprinklers bc I noticed they didn't run Monday and when he did, he found a HUGE leak in one of our main irrigation pipes! Our house is kind of old and starting to need a lot of repairs so I wasn't completely surprised but the leak was pretty big. We had to turn off all the water to the house and wait for them to get one of their irrigation and plumbing experts over. Richard showed up almost immediately and had us all cleaned up and back in business in no time!! He even hung around to make sure all the leaking stopped etc. I was blown away - I figured I'd need to call a plumber and go through all that nightmare but no!! Grow Control took such good care of us! And this is the level of care and service we've received since day one! They're so fantastic- really takes a load of stress off my mind. They're caring, reliable, excellent at what they do, and very reasonably priced. We're still planning on completely redoing our yard - switching to all native plants - and when we do, it'll be the Grow Control team we trust for sure! THANK YOU everyone at Grow Control for all the years of TLC in our yard!

I strongly advise against hiring this contractor. Pedro promised to crack fill and seal coat my…read moredriveway, but the work was never done properly. Instead of completing the job, he sent a crew that showed up without enough product and had the audacity to say the job was finished rather than going back to get more materials. Within just a few days, cracks reappeared all over the driveway due to the poor quality of their work. I reached out to Pedro multiple times, and on three separate occasions he promised to come back and fix the job. Each time, he failed to show up. This contractor is dishonest, unreliable, and does not stand by his word. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere.

Pedro was straightforward, easy to work with, and fair on pricing. He made sure things were done right and checked in along the way. The cement came out clean and level, and the fence looks solid -- exactly what I was hoping for. Really appreciate how professional and efficient the crew was. They didn't waste time, and the quality shows. I'd definitely recommend Pedro and 4 Lakes Landscape if you're looking for someone reliable who actually gets the job done right.

Had a sprinkler main leak that needed a section replaced, and Javier from Serenity Gardening…read morehandled it. He also installed a pressure relief valve while he was at it, which I hadn't thought to ask about but he flagged as something worth doing given the issue we had. He diagnosed the problem quickly, explained what was going on in a way that actually made sense, and got the repair done without any drama. The valve install was a nice touch since it should help prevent the same kind of failure down the road. Fair pricing, showed up when he said he would, and cleaned up after himself. I'd call Javier again for any irrigation work without hesitation.

He was very confusing about payments and spontaneous about what time or day he can do the job.. I put down a deposit in cash, he called me randomly to say he is free to swing by.

Very naggy and pushy behavior. Not professional.

We worked with Martin to figure out what we could do to "reset" the yard and give ourselves a good base to work from so we could start building out a drought tolerant garden.

Martin was so easy to work with, he really listened to what I wanted the space to be and he found ways to make it happen, all within our budget and timeline. He was also familiar with the requirements for the LADWP turf rebate program and helped us make sure our project complied. Of the various quotes I got Garden Worx was the best price and I truly believe they also implemented the project better than the other companies I spoke to would have. The team was so efficient and considerate and just a pleasure. I will be calling Martin back for any other landscaping work we do in the future.

Any additional work would need a different contractor to complete the work.

After getting several quotes from different companies, Crystal stood out because she was the only one who truly captured our vision and brought it to life in a detailed rendering. That gave us confidence that she understood exactly what we were looking for. Crystal was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, including assisting us with our HOA submission, which made everything much smoother. Once approved, the project started shortly afterward and was completed in about 30 days. Hugo and the crew worked hard to turn our vision into reality. They were professional, easy to communicate with, and responsive whenever we had questions or wanted to make adjustments. We appreciated how collaborative the entire team was throughout the project. We are very happy with the finished result. The pricing was fair and transparent, and it really depends on the design and scope of your project. If you're looking for a team that listens to your ideas and works with you to create a beautiful outdoor space, we would definitely recommend LIU Landscape :)
