I had one $1500 visit from these folks to "thoroughly clean out my yard" before they began a $65 a visit bi-weekly maintenance plan. The $1500 visit was an hour of leaf blow and pickup with an extra $900 to trim my small maple trees. There was no return for maintenance. When I phoned to query this, I was informed that each visit of two men with leaf blower costs $1500. I bought myself a leaf blower. read more

Laura Mueller is very friendly and thorough scheduling service, and our team of Austin and Nacho did a great job cleaning up our sad and neglected yard. Arrived early; worked hard. Our neighbors will be thrilled. Thank you! read more

Cleared my backyard of all weeds (not easy to do) and trimmed all the plants in one and a half days with two guys. Great job! Michael Brucker La Mesa read more

This landscaping service provided by Mueller (specifically by Derek and Donavan) is, without a doubt, the best I have ever used. They had a 3 hr. window to do the work. Our back yard looked like a Jurrasic Park set so I was doubtful they could get the work done in that length of time. These men worked like their lives depended on it. They asked guidance and set to work and did exactly as I wanted (stayed away from my Callas) and no more. Not only did they finish the back yard ahead of time, with the time left they cut the hedge in the front yard, pulled weeds, edged a walkway, air blasted small stones off my fake grass lawn, cleaned my front porch and the driveway! We will use them again, FOR SURE. read more

Did not get what I paid for. Quality of work is lacking. Upon completion, my job looked pretty much the same as before they started. They charge by the 'man-hour' and waste time on the clock. read more

We can always rely on Mueller Landscape to come when promised and do a great job! We had a few sprinklers needing repair in, they've checked them all to make sure they were working properly read more

I have used their service many times over the years and they always come through. Their crew are always on time and very quick to take care of the job. Just had a small tree removed and the 2 person crew were finished in about 20 minutes. read more

You can count on this company to do quality work, and to be consistent. If you need to add another service, it's easy to reach out to them directly! We have had quite a hard time finding a good landscaping company and highly recommend Mueller Landscaping read more

We hired this company to take care of a small front and backyard. It was $200. When they were finished the grass clippings were left all over. Weeds just played down by mower. Apparently they work by time not the job. If you pay $200 they will do what they can in an hour not finish the job. My yard is small and front and backyard usually take 45 minutes. They said they would give us 30 minutes free to clean up. Jason and Jack were lovely however the time policy just doesn't work for a thorough job read more

Called them on short notice.Wanted to do my mother-in-law.A favor and have the yard cleaned while she was out of town.Excellent job fair price.Well done if you need something done in the east county or in san diego county hit them up. read more

Excellent service from start to finish. Requested a one-time cleanup of the weeds in my backyard and they replied very promptly. Sent in request via website on a Friday, they tried calling on a Monday, I talked with them on Tuesday, and they scheduled a crew for the very next day! Spoke to many wonderful customer service reps (including the owner's wife) and they explained everything from pricing to what would be done, how long it would take, and any extra fees. Because my yard was so overgrown, they did come out for a second day. They even called to get my authorization for an extra 1/2 hour of work. I mean who does that these days??! And the yard looks 10 times better. If I had a regular grass yard and not a dirt pile growing weeds, lol, I'd be hiring them for monthly service. Price was more than I was hoping to spend but it was still reasonable considering the size of my yard (approx. 1/3 acre) and how bad it was. The owner himself came out the first day to check on things and asked permission to tape the work. It looks like they have a YouTube channel where they post videos showing prospective customers what services they offer. One thing to be aware of, is they generally don't haul away the debris and if they do, it will be a $20 charge per bag. This was explained to me several times over the phone and was also on the esimate. If you have a normal size yard, this may not be an issue but I opted out and will just keep filling my green bin until it's gone. Very pleased with this company, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing lawn services. read more

I have a monthly service for yard cleanup. I have rocks with low maintenance plants in the front and artificial grass in the back. Two men come every month and take care of my weeds, trim my bushes and clean up my side yard. I don't need to tell them what to do. They know what is needed to clean up the yard. They do a great job and complete my yard care in a quick amount of time. I highly recommend them! read more

We have been using Mueller for many years. Once again we had them come out to weed and clean up our back yard area. As usual, prompt, efficient, thorough. They had extra time so did more area than we originally asked for. Highly highly recommend. read more

They are responsive to my inquiries and they have very good customer service. Keep it up!

5 star all the way with Mueller! It truly feels like a family-run business with your call always being answered (and actually returned) by a person. Their workmanship is top not notch and they are always quick to respond to any issues that we've had come up. This is one of those company's you might as well just save into your phone, but definitely in a good way! read more

What a horrible company!! They charge a minimum of 30 minutes for yard work. No problem. I completely understand. However, when the landscapers showed up, they did not check in with me or anyone in the home. They did not ask what then priority's were. My neighbor watched them and even asked them if she would like her to get us from inside the house and they said No. She watched them. She timed them and they were on my property for 12 minutes and left. 12 minutes. And the job was horrible. Absolutely awful I was charged for 30 minutes. When I received a phone call from a man stating how much they were going to charge my card, I informed him of all the issues. The fox tails, the debris, the lack of edging, the lack of raking up the debris, and that my grass was still up to my ankles and my neighbor timed them and they were only on the property for 12 minutes. In turn, he started to argue with me, say he was looking at pictures of my property and there was not any issues and that the gardeners were here for 20 minutes. I explained I needed them back ASAP as I was leaving town and needed all foxtails gone because of my dog. He said no and that he would prorate me. He then continued to argue with me about the condition of my yard and that, even though I was standing IN MY YARD AS I WAS SPEAKING WITH HIM, he STILL said that my yard was fine. The next day I look at my credit card and they charged my card WITHOUT my authorization for the FULL amount. I then left a message on their voicemail. On Monday, I receive a call from a woman, who, once again, argued about the state of my yard and that they "DONT RAKE" and that their lawn mower picks up all debris. Really? Again, I AM STANDING IN MY YARD and a person who has NEVER been to my home is arguing with me about my yard. I also brought up the point that they charged my credit card without my authorization and that it was for the full amount. She then said they were on my property for 12 minutes. Okay, so this is a family business, that lies about the time they spend at a home, who charge a credit card WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION, which is stealing, and who claims there is a magic lawn mower that picks up all debris. Watch out! The owner will post an answer to defend his company and not resolve issues. Just read! DONT USE THIS COMPANY. MY BANK HAD ME OPEN A FRAUD CLAIM. DONT USE THIS COMPANY. THEY BILL FOR TIME THEY WERE NOT ON THR PROPERTY DONT USE THIS COMPANY THEY DO NOT RAKE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY WILL NOT CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES IN RESPONSE TO JOHNS STATEMENT......as I said he would do....NO ONE offered to come fix my lawn. In fact I ASKED THEM TO COME FIX IT and they didn't. The crew may have arrived at that time....but they did not start for 10 more minutes after the took out their equipment. I do have security videos clocking thei times and entrances. read more

John and his crew are true professionals! My family has been using Mueller Landscape for many many years,and we've always have positive experience working with them! John and his wife are beautiful wholesome people and I can honestly say they are my family landscapers for life! Go team Muellers!!!! read more

I didn't have gardener for sometime and yard was a mess with all the rain. I contacted Mueller Gardening services and they explained various services provided. They cover services throughout San Diego area.. Justin came the first day and he was terrific and cleaned out my front yard and put mulch. He couldn't complete the job that day but it was 100% better and I was so grateful. Justin got to work right away and his passion for gardening was obvious. The next week both the front & back yard got completed. I didn't get to meet the gardeners that came 2nd week but work was done well. I'm pleased with their work and would recommend them. I have bimonthly service now in Serra Mesa. read more

Looking for a gardening/landscaping service in a new town is not an easy task, so of course I came to Yelp to peruse through a few. I decided on Mueller and it was a great choice! We hadn't maintained our yard pretty much all winter and the time had come to have someone else do it for us. I spoke with the owner and his wife and they gave me an estimate. They had two workers out in just 2 days and they worked on my yard for about 2 hours. Not only were they very friendly and helpful, the work they did was AMAZING! The yard looks better than it ever has and I am now using their services twice a month for maintenance. So glad I found them! read more

The previous owners of my house were professional landscapers/gardeners. They planted lots of invasive plants, which I'm sure they were able to keep up with and make look nice. I've heard that they worked in the yard everyday. My husband and I do not have the knowledge to keep up with this yard, nor the time to work in it everyday, but we didn't want to just rip everything out. It didn't take long before it was completely overgrown and out of control. I had a hard time finding a company to help me out. (One guy actually came over to give me a bid, and then said, "Um, I'm not taking this on!) It requires more than a Mow, Blow, and Go service. Mueller Landscaping is very organized. Laura must have a filing cabinet in her brain. She is very easy to work with. She recommended having a crew come out every week for as long as I needed them (we found a price and time I was comfortable with) and once I was happy with the way the yard looked, I could move into maintenance. Maintenance is a relative term, though. I have had to rip many things out, because it wasn't sustainable to keep it up the way it was. (Pro tip: Don't EVER plant horsetail bamboo directly into the ground. If you really like that stuff, plant it in a planter so you can contain it.) It's taken me a long time to get the yard to a point where I don't come home and feel overwhelmed by how much there is to do. But I don't feel that way anymore, and that is because of Will, who leads the crew that works in my neighborhood. He works on this yard as if it were his own. In fact, I think he has more pride of ownership than I do. I NEVER have to worry that he is going to do something I'm not going to like, whether I'm here or not when they do the work. He somehow crams so much into the 30 minutes that he's here--I really don't know how he does it. One time, I came home when it was dark, but I could tell that it had been a Will Day. I actually like the yard now (and I'm not carrying on conversations in my head with the previous owners, like, "Dude, what were you thinking!?") and that is largely because of Will. So, five stars for Mueller Landscaping! read more

Responded promptly to our phone call and arranged a visit the next day. John was assured, thorough and totally professional. Fixed our leaking irrigation but also identified and fixed a leak we didn't know about. Great value for a difficult job. read more

When I started calling around to get my yard done 3 years ago I was lucky enough to find John. We had a complete overhaul (whole front and back yard were just weeds and dirt), and we were very happy with the customer service, speed of work, the price, and most importantly the final product. John and his team seem to take great pride in their work. Since the first major project I have continued to use them for yard maintenance, and any other odd jobs I have around my yard. They even helped me on very short notice to get my yard ready to sell my house. The price is always right and you can trust that they will get things done one time and on budget. If you have a project to get done in your yard you should at least get a bid from John. He will not disappoint. Highly recommend .. I only hope that I can find someone as good to handle my new house in Texas! read more

Mueller Landscape has been so effortless. They never disappoint. They have mowed and edged the large lawn area of my commercial rental property for several years and they are always there the days expected and doing a great job. Price was good too. read more

I receive professional and timely service from Mueller Landscape. I had a drip system that had several small leaks. I asked for help and they sent a professional sprinkler technician and in 1.5 hours all of my leaks were repaired. Anytime I have a special request all I have to do is communicate my requirement and they are extremely responsive. Very satisfied with the caliber of service I receive and the Customer Service they Provide! read more

*** updated with photos *** work hat cost me nearly $500 and time to get them to TRY and fix. Wanted a trustworthy company because I had been flaked on too many times. Found these guys online. Had them come out. Told them what I wanted done. THREE guys came out for and hour and 45 minutes and barely got anything done. Greenery and pine needles were left in my mulch area. Dried, dead stuff was left in my beds. Bushes weren't even trimmed back off sidewalk, left all crooked. They didn't even contain my bird of paradise. To top it off they left clippings on the other side of my hedge in my neighbors front yard by their door, how embarrassing. Paid them to come back out again because they assured me it was my yard too over grown and they didn't have enough time. Over $500 later and 3 trips out and these guys suck. When I complained and sent them photos of everything they didn't offer any good customer service. They wanted to charge more and tell me it was all my yard. They also didn't put any of the trash bags of clippings in my EMPTY green container and left five bags on the ground (it costs extra for haul off! Months later I found a recommended guy. Hired him, he brought three guys out for 30 minutes and my yard was pristine, even and very neat!! He even replaced a leaky faucet head and charged me a whopping $115 to take care of it all AND haul off what didn't fit in my green can. read more

They did an awesome job. Fixed my turf and added rock to my existing landscaping. Couldn't be happier. Did the job faster than I thought. Would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

After debating between some local family owned companies my husband and I decided to go with Mueller Landscape. Our yard was in dire need of help before our Thanksgiving and upcoing holiday parties and I couldnt have been more pleased with the timely job they did. My husband and I didn't have to worry about our embarrassing yard for our family festivities! Thanks for doing a great job guys!! We will most certainly be keeping them for upkeep. read more

I am very happy with the Mueller Landscaping company. Of all the landscapers I have used over the years, they are hands down one of the best. Very professional and they track there time to the T right down to the single minute. I have never been over charged or gouged with this outfit. I highly recommend them!!!! read more

I have worked with Mueller Landscape the last 6 months and they have serviced many of my properties with the utmost service! Their turn around times are quick and their estimates are very detailed and understandable. I highly recommend them! read more

Excellent service. Very professional and up front with all charges. What they completed in two hours would have taken me two days. Thanks again, gentlemen read more

Finally had to throw in the towel. Multiple issues over the years. Service degradation and the crew changes quite a bit. I have spoken with both John and Laura on multiple occasions, sent photos of problems and it just got to the point where the complaining and explaining isn't doing any good. They ruined a lawn chair last time they were here and lately it's something wrong every visit. As much as I don't like changing lawn services to another company, it's time and I'm done. John, I do wish you the best and hope you and your family have a Happy New Year. read more

I found this company on facebook... yes you heard correctly. I actually clicked on the little ad to the left of my wall because I was looking for a landscaper. Even though it was a Sunday and John (the owner) was at game, he called me back within the hour. We made plans to meet and check out the disaster that was my yard. He was very professional and easy to talk to. His guys are in uniform, very professional, speak english, and are great at what they do. Overall, I had no complaints, they did exactly what I needed them to do, and for the price I was quoted. I would definitley recommend them to anyone who needs some yard work done. read more

Use the Landscaper! It is a pleasure working with this company. Super easy to set up and friendly. They work with you on days and times in reason to do the work. They are always professional and neat. I have been using them for about a month now and the crew always asks me if there is anything I noticed I would like for them to pay special attention to. How refreshing it is to find a company that cares about the customers wants and needs. I highly recommend if you are looking for any work for your yard to give John a call. He is well networked so if he can not complete the project I'm sure he will know someone that can and will not give a bad referral. read more

I am proud to say these are my landscapers. Great job, honest, dependable. Use these guys!

If I could give negative stars I would. John, the owner, is unprofessional, unreliable, and lacks serious customer service skills. His ability to communicate is poor and his crew could never complete the simple task. Five stars down and I recommend that you call a different Gardner read more

A big thank you to Mueller Landscape! Their customer service is excellent. It starts from the main office to the crew who cares for my yard. I have been very satisfied & happy with Mueller Landscape for over two years. I want to especially thank Aaron, the crew leader for exceptional communication, customer service & stellar work. He has been so responsive to my requests & it has been a pleasure working with Aaron. read more

Hi Hired John's company to redo a large planter at my downtown condo. John's team (including Brandon) did a great job. They put in great plants, installed a fountain, dealt with downtown parking issues and the natural unique challenges when landscaping within a high-rise (elevators, etc.). They were friendly, polite and professional. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent customer service and landscapers! John the owner is very nice and courteous. We have been using Mueller's for awhile now and are always happy with their work and prices. We are now living out of town and they keep our rental landscaped. They keep us up to date with what needs to be done as well. Highly recommended! read more

I have worked with John and his team about 4 years now & I'm absolutely SOLD! This company runs a solid business; they are fair, ethical, and professional. I have used many landscapers in the past, however, since I have started using Mueller Landscaping, not only have they become my one and only landscaping company, they have become part of my business family. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for the BEST in San Diego! There is too much to do in San Diego, and worrying and stressing about your landscaping is not one of them...hire the BEST, and stress less! read more

We have been customers of Mueller for MORE THAN 5 YEARS! John was normally very accommodating and serviceable, especially since our property (and family) had gone through so many changes in 5 years (for example, we got two dogs). I am VERY particular about the grooming of my yard, and would notice any little flaw, and immediately report it John or his secretary. There was a time that because of a botched job, JOHN AND HIS WIFE came out to my house and personally pulled weeds, fixed the problems and cleaned up all my flower beds!! NOW THATS CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Problems were always taken care of, fast and FREE.... in the PAST FIVE YEARS.................... However suddenly, the one service vendor we could trust and rely on, FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, has suddenly turned LAZY and UNACCOMMODATING, like so many other small businesses lately. Is it the economy that's depressing every business owner, and they've just given up!?? I worked for a small business owner for more than 3 years, and he bent over backwards and LOST PROFITS just to keep long time customers.... John, apparently does not have the same business ethics........................... The last time his workers came out, they DESTROYED MY LAWN! Uneven, over mowed circles, missed spots on the edging and PILES AND PILES OF GRASS CLIPPINGS, EVERYWHERE! In keeping with my habit of calling immediately about problems, fully expecting a immediate ethical business response of "we'll fix it", I walked into my house, my shoes covered in grass clippings, and called John. His secretary took the message and relayed it John. In response, I WAS BLAMED FOR HAVING A "TOO WET" LAWN! We JUST had our irrigation system fixed and adjusted, and there was no difference in the moisture than usual on that morning. I explained to them, I would understand and not be complaining if there were small, scattered piles of clippings, but this morning, there were a lot! I DID notice too, that a "new" guy was mowing, and probably wasn't familiar w my yard, and it wasn't until later that I found my gopher stick had been run over and destroyed, then thrown in the bushes to hide it. Yes, I mentioned this to Johns secretary, and reminded them that the "regular" guy knows about our gopher problem and knows we have traps. You could tell by the evidence left that the problem WAS OPERATOR ERROR... he didn't empty the bag!!! What happens when the bag gets too full? The motor jams and causes CROP CIRCLES and subsequent piles of clippings, EVERY WHERE!! I asked John if they could just come out the next day and clean up, perhaps in between jobs... would take 2 guys, 10 minutes. Right? But, NO!!?? John would have to "charge us to come back out", because, "it costs me money to send my guys out.." For TEN MINUTES JOHN?! I reminded them that we are long time dedicated customers!.... Still, he refused to come out to my house, 2 miles from his office, and spend ten minutes cleaning up the grass clippings.... In the end, he refused to budge, so we did. John Mueller, thank you for your service for the last 5 years, but we would rather patron a company who WANTS TO KEEP THEIR LONG TIME CUSTOMERS AND KNOWS HOW TO TREAT THEM WELL. "You're Fired" (That includes the Trump hand gesture) read more
