This company is great! Lots of communication. Great price and follow through. Responded to all my questions and answered them in a very timely manner. I'll use this company again any time I need landscaping. read more

Straight forward and inexpensive in comparison to other quotes I had gotten. All of which are 500-1000% more expensive. The end result looks good. They showed up on time and executed what we contracted them for. Front lawn looks much more manicured and uniform. read more

Rafael Landscaping is just great. They responded very quickly, surveyed the job soon after, had a proposal the next day. And less than a week later the job was done. The work involved resodding a backyard that had gone wild with violets and other invasive plants. They dug out some overgrown horseradish plants that had spread considerably, they trimmed and edged the flower beds, and everything is neat and clean. Out front, they resodded and put in new timber borders. This was real work, and they did it well. Their bid came in slightly higher than one other, but I got the sense from talking with the owner that I had nothing to worry about, and that was true. I would not hesitate to call on them again for help. Not at all. read more

Delivered and installed requested 6 tons of white marble gravel up to 4inches deep. Quality product and installation at a reasonable ballpark price. This stuff is heavy, other contractors balk out but these guys were able do it and do it right. read more

I inquired about spraying my arborvitae that have bag worms on them. Someone responded back with a possible date/time and then asked to reschedule the day before due to then having another project they did not finish and needed to complete. Then asked if I would be available the next day perhaps he could call and come that day. I sent my address and phone number, no one called or showed up. I have inquired elsewhere for assistance with my trees. I need someone reliable and I don't think this action or no action is responsible. I canceled my request to their service. read more

I sent an inquiry via Yelp about removing tree stumps, but no one ever showed up to give me a quote.

Does a fabulous job has the beast price would recommend him my trees are so pretty and has good quality of them

These guys were super easy to work with. Got a quote for removing existing weeded sod, rocks and old landscape woodchips. They were done in a day and a half. The results were amazing. read more

Great communication, quick response, competitive price when quoting against others. I had edging done across my mulch beds. Being on a corner lot, a have long stretches and a decent amount of landscaping, so a pretty hefty amount of edging. The service was quick and efficient, but with attention to detail and cleanup along the way. Couldn't be happier. Luis was also very polite and punctual. Highly recommended. read more

Rafael was extremely responsive to messages and quick to provide a quote. Good customer service and ownership

Luis and his crew did an amazing job! They can do it all...clean-up & removal, planting, sod, gravel, etc. I could not believe how fast they did everything and it was the best price I found. read more

I have to say, these guys were AWESOME from start to finish! They came out and gave me a free estimate, beat all the other quotes I got, and knocked out my backyard in the 2 days like they said they would. I can't forget to mention that it was also 95 degrees and sunny on those days! They even had some unforeseen work that they had to do and didn't charge me for it. Rafael and his team are top notch and I will most certainly be having them come back to do my front lawn next summer! Hit up Rafael if you need a good landscaper/architect! read more

The team does a good job at mowing, but scheduling is difficult. My lawn was mowed twice and afterwards they didn't show up or call back for scheduled service. I had to call another landscaping company. They are unreliable. read more

I made arrangements with Luis back in early March to mow my lawn this summer. He came to my house, we agreed on a price, and agreed that he would start mowing my lawn every other week starting in mid to late May. The 2nd week of May, I called Luis to confirm that he would start the next week and he confirmed yes, and that he would call me to let me know which day he would be here. I didn't hear back from him the next week, so I called him just before Memorial day weekend and he said again that he would get back to me about which day he would start. Monday, silence (ok, it was Memorial day, no problem). Tuesday, silence. Wednesday morning, silence. I texted him Wednesday around noon to ask him if he was coming that day, the next day, or Friday. He never replied. I have heard nothing from him since. It's now almost mid-June and most lawn care businesses are booked for the season. Rafael Landscaping is an unreliable business and I would definitely not recommend them. read more

We contacted Rafael Landscaping to regrade and lay sod on our property. They did a great job and for a reasonable price.

Pulling up a 2-tier flower box, a medium Burning Bush shub and bushes left me furius with Rafael Landscaping. Roots weren't removed and importantly no roller for soil compaction, a process to help prevent future issues like settling or cracking in structures built on the compacted soil, which is the current experience, rain water run off near home's foundation. Contacts with Rafael were ignored then I received an 'ok' then next message, 'no time or date to give.' $800+ spent on shoddy workmanship. I hope this helps someone. read more

Rafael Landscaping did a great job repaving my patio, re-using the old pavers as requested. They arrived on time, offered a very competitive price, and were responsive to all my requests throughout the project. The quality of their work is evident, especially in how they carefully excavated, leveled, and compacted the ground to ensure proper drainage and prevent sinking. Communication was smooth, primarily via text, and they were easy to work with. I'm pleased with the results and would definitely hire them again. read more

Ariel is awesome. Very impressed w their responsiveness and professionalism. Would not go anywhere else going forward.

Reached out in the Yelp app for a quote. Received a response from the owner Luis asking for my address and phone number which I provided immediately. Followed up three times repeating that I wanted a quote for weekly mowing, spring and fall cleaning, and additional maintenance services and asking if they did shoveling. He simply replied - yes. So, instead of messaging, I called the phone number. Luis picked up my call. I told him I was having trouble communicating via the Yelp messaging app and was still trying to get a quote for my services. Would he be willing to come out to my house to give me an estimate? He agreed to come that day at five, which he did. I walked him around the property showed him my front and back lawns and paths for shoveling. He said that he would send me the estimate that night. I followed up three more times after that to no avail. If it's this much trouble to try to get someone to provide a quote to do services, I fear to think what it would be like communicating with him when he had the job. Why did you waste my time? read more

When our initial service was done, we were very pleased with the results, but since then, the communication with this company has been tragic. 1. We have to reach out to them for follow-ups. 2. They overcharge for small landscapes. 3. They often say they'll get us quotes but never follow through. We really wanted to love this company, and they truly do great work. They could work on their business acumen a bit. read more

Very expensive. Didn't offer to come out to see what I wanted done and made a very expensive assumption. I only have a backyard that needs mowing, and I requested fall cleanup. I don't have any trees on my property so it's merely the leaves that do blow into my yard which isn't much. I was astounded at what he wanted for both cleanup and mowing a small backyard. read more

Very costly $$$$ , there are cheaper rates out there , I feel the work performed on my property was a side job for 3 of their employees. I'm basing this on the rental equipment / truck involved , & the hours they performed the work. They were working after dark without any lights. Major safety violation ? read more

Very professional and great attention to detail. They were prompt and communicated throughout the job. Look forward to having them out moving forward. Great stuff! read more

I was looking for a quote on getting cement laid which I explained before they came out for the quote but when they arrived they said they only do bricks. I am not sure why the have cement work listed as an option and why they didn't just say they don't do that type of work without coming to my house. read more

By far the best thing I have done in anticipation for this winter!! We hired Rafael during the end of summer to shovel around our home during the winter months. A few messaged on Yelp and we were all set up. Pricing is very fair and they do a phenomenal job clearing the snow/salting the sidewalk. They text and ask if you'd like for them to come by when the snow fall isn't heavy. Send an invoice via text/email. We submit payment via zelle. It's so easy and consumer friendly! Have recommended them to a few neighbors!! read more

Did a great job with what I needed, will work with them again in the future. Only business that responded to my request and I'm happy that they did. Great communication and professional service. read more

This team is always on time. For what I need I find them to be very quick and a great value. Easy to work with!

Didn't even respond or follow up when I supplied the address to see the area that needed work.

Had to write an update. No barrier was put between the ground and the mulch, so after a month grass is growing up around the plants so it's looking pretty bad. For the money spent, a little disappointed. read more

Great person to work with and communication was always great. read more

Rafael was very quick to respond! I had several projects that needed to get done but I was traveling and needed someone reliable. He went out to my property and gave me a quote right away. For all of the work, it was really a fair price. It was very easy to communicate with him and he completed all the work on time. It is refreshing to find honest companies which are dependable. Don't hesitate - Contact Rafael! Rafael fue muy rápido en responder! Tuve varios proyectos pero estaba viajando y me hacía falta alguien en él que yo podía confiar. Él fue a mi propiedad y me dio un estimado inmediatamente. Por la cantidad de trabajo, fue un precio bueno. Fue muy fácil comunicarme con Rafael y el completo todo el trabajo a tiempo. Tuve que escribir aquí porque no es difícil encontrar compañías honestas y que cumplen con sus promesas. No lo pienses más - ponte en contacto con Rafael! read more

I found Rafael landscaping by submitting a job for weed removal through Yelp, and they were one of the few companies to respond. They were very responsive through the whole process. A representative of the company came out to take a look at our situation and provided an accurate quote. We were able to book them within a week. The actual service was impeccable. They arrived within the 1 hour window they gave me, and the whole process took approximately an hour-and-a-half. Our building looks so much better and overall just feels cleaner with all of the weeds gone. I wish I took some before pictures to illustrate the difference their work made, but I can tell you it's like night and day. Overall I would highly recommend working with them. read more

My grass needed to be sodded and Luis did a great job in helping me with that. My front yard is ready for summer!! Luis and his team sodded the grass fairly quickly and helped me plant some trees. Out of all the landscapers I contacted, Luis was the most reasonably priced. I will contact him for future projects. read more

Rafael provided us a quote quickly and stuck to that amount after the work was completed. The yard looks great and I look forward to continuing to use their services. read more

I'm so happy with Rafael Landscaping. They were responsive, returned every text and phone call. Came the next day to give us a quote. Then came the following week to complete the job. These guys are professional- not just your average grass cutter...their quality of work is impressive. They completely transformed our backyard- we had tall weeds and grass everywhere- they trimmed, mowed and sprayed the weeds. They cleaned the alley section next to garage as well- I haven't seen it look this clean and trimmed since we bought the house over 25 years ago. I highly recommend Rafael landscaping. read more

Very quick response with a fair quote. Did the work within a day. Definitely highly recommended and may use them for regular lawn maintenance. read more
