This review is long overdue, but it is for good reason. My wife and I hired George and his crew in June of 2013. We wanted a significant amount of time to pass before writing a review to ensure that hiring this business was a good choice. We can honestly say that we are very happy with this crew and feel that we made a great decision in hiring them.
We fired the previous landscaping company because we noticed that our lawn was drying out, sprinklers were not being replaced/fixed, and our lawn just looked terrible overall. The breaking point was when we returned from work one day, and we noticed that the crew had butchered a large plant that took a lot of time and care to bring back to life when we had moved into our house. It was then that we fired our previous landscapers and contacted George a couple days later for a quote on monthly service.
The price we pay for monthly maintenance is a little higher than our previous landscapers, but the difference in service is significantly higher and better. For one, George's crew actually fixes sprinklers when necessary and they ensure that our irrigation system is working properly. They check/test our irrigation system including timers and valves at least once a month. One would think that all landscapers do this, but our previous crew rarely did. In addition, George's crew takes great care to clean up afterwards; they neatly roll up our water hoses when I leave them out, and they ensure that there are no grass clippings scattered around our property. Again, our previous landscapers did not do this.
The most important thing about this business is that George and his crew are really friendly individuals that take pride in what they do. For example, they make sure to trim our hedges and lemon tree carefully rather than butchering it like our previous landscapers. In addition, we recently had a timer stop working, and we did not want to buy a new timer at the moment. George informed me that he had a perfectly good, used timer in his office, and he offered to give us the timer and install it free of charge. Finally, we are hosting a party in a couple of days (as of this posting), and George offered to have his crew pressure wash our patio and other cemented areas of our backyard for free to ensure that everything is clean for our party!
It is these little acts of kindness that make us proud that we hired George. We really have no complaints and have been happy with the way our landscaping looks. In fact, our neighbors have also given us positive comments regarding our landscaping as well; I guess the previous homeowners did not take good care of the landscaping? read more
