Excellent Service! Rafael and his team did a great job with an initial clean up and continues to do a great job with monthly maintenance visits. They also installed multiple french drain systems to fix flooding issues on our property. Rafael took the time to walk me through the process, and he worked with our budget to landscape our front yard after the drainage system was installed. His team works fast, and they are very polite and friendly. I would recommend Rafael for any future landscaping needs. read more

Rafael and his team have maintained our front and back yard weekly for about a year and recently when we needed to replace our grass due to gophers, we didn't question using anyone else for the work. He worked with us to make sure the design made sense and was within our budget while maintaining our step stones - one of my favorite parts of the yard. His quote came quickly and was extremely reasonable. His team completed the work in about 2 days and we couldn't be happier. What was previously moss, weeds, and more recently gopher holes is now beautifully a maintained lawn. He also updated up our sprinkler timing and makes sure each week that the grass is getting enough water still and has adjusted it as needed. It's also worth mentioning that Rafael is extremely responsive and helpful - we had an issue with our drip sprinkler system and didn't know how to fix it, Rafael took a quick look and brought the correct piece needed from home the next day. Overall we have been extremely happy with Rafael both for our recurring maintenance as well as for our lawn. We won't hesitate to use him for any of our future projects! read more

Thanks to Rafael and his team for transforming our backyard. Our yard was in a bad way. It was overgrown, and we couldn't even look at it. We asked Rafael to clear out the overgrowth, add some stones in one place... and grass in another (complete with irrigation). Rafael and his team did a quick and fantastic job! We love our outdoor space now and have been in our yard everyday enjoying it. I highly recommend. We will use Rafael Landscaping services again. read more

I had work done to our front and backyard. Through the whole process Rafeal and his team were amazing. We have done two separate jobs with him so far. The first was to the front of the house where they put in a sprinkler system, sod, and rock, along with some much needed gopher wire. The second was about a year later to the back of the house. Here they installed faux grass golden granite composite, gopher wire, and also added to our retaining wall. They did an excellent job clearing and leveling, no detail was missed. Also you can see from the pictures how nice it came out and how well they matched to the existing retaining wall. I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future! read more

Rafael and his team did a great job of laying the sod in our backyard. We were so pleased that we have now hired him to do a more extensive remodel of our front yard. read more

I had work done to our front and backyard. Through the whole process Rafeal and his team were just amazing. I especially appreciated Rafeal's professionalism. The majority of the work was to the front of the house where they put in a sprinkler system, sod, and rock, along with some much needed gopher wire. The pictures I included don't truly represent what they did. The yard was in terrible shape before and now it's simply stunning. Though we haven't planted it out yet, we will at some point with their help. I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future or recommend them to anyone! read more

Rafael Landscaping is the best. They completed 3 projects for me; front and back landscaping and tree stump removal. Rafael is great to work with. He is very professional, plesant, and keeps you informed of the status of work. His team are really fast, excellent workers.He listens to you and is very thorough, professional and fair when doing his estimate. After the first project, I did not bother to get quotes for the next 2 projects because I liked working with Rafael and trusted him. I highly recommend Rafael Landscaping. read more

It's hard to believe, Rafael has worked for me for almost 15 years. He has worked for many of my clients and even my mother. As many people know, referring someone to one's own mother is a Big deal! His team managed my personal garden in several of my own homes and does an awesome job Rafael (RLS) is creative and can come up with designs and sometimes will alter an original idea just a bit because he knows better. I trust him and his crew to come up with the right solution. Landscaping a yard is never cheap but RLS is extremely reasonably priced when the rubber meats the road. He gets the job done and the price is extremely reasonable. If you want the cheapest price you get the cheapest job done. Rafael isn't the least expensive and he should not be. He does quality work. He has also managed client's properties, installed gardens, lawns, sprinkler systems, designed gardens and sometimes has had to say to a client, "you could spend less money, for a better look." That is because he is creative. Don't expect a whiz bang high tech drawing and a high tech billing system. I like someone who can think on their feet. Whip out a piece of paper and do a drawing. That really tells me that he thinks things through and he works one on one, very intimately with you, the client. A simple spreadsheet outlining the bill. That's all I need to send out the check. He's simple like that. Over the years, I have thrown him some difficult clients... Oy vey!!! He has always met the challenge. Thanks for all the hard work Rafael. Kilowog read more

Rafael is an honest and hard working gentleman who I hired to rebuild my old fence after a storm blew over a ~45 foot stretch. He gave a very reasonable price for hauling away the old fence and putting up a new one matching the style of the adjacent fences, and once work started, everything was done in just one day. I'm very happy with the work that he and his crew did. read more

Rafael and his crew were great. We had a barren wasteland of a backyard, and over the course of a few days they removed our old sprinkler system, installed a new one, graded and leveled our yard, prepped and laid sod. The difference is amazing, and our dog could not be happier. We found Rafael easy to work with and will definitely have him back to work on other projects. read more

We found Rafael on Yelp and are really pleased with our results. He and his team completed our project quickly, were easy to schedule with, and Rafael was confident about how to accomplish our goals. The project included (1) general maintenance and clean-up after several months of neglect by the sellers of our house and by us after moving in, (2) evaluation of the existing irrigation systems to cap off some sprinklers/drips that were no longer needed and to identify any other issues that needed to be fixed, and (3) replacing mulch with gravel everywhere. Total project time from the first consult to the completion of the project was about three weeks, and the work itself only took a couple of days. Rafael's team recently came out for the first general maintenance, and everything still looks great. read more

Highly recommend Rafael. He is very responsive and clearly cares about the quality of the end result. Rafael is a great problem solver and came up with a cost effective solution to create more privacy on the side of our property. Our project was done on time and on budget. Definitely plan to use Rafael again in the future. read more

We found Rafael via Yelp and he did the rock work in our front yard and we were so impressed that we ended up using him to landscape our entire backyard as well. This included rebuilding a stone retaining wall, tilling and leveling the grass area, pouring a new concrete slab extension, laying a sprinkler system and putting in new sod with a stone border. We couldn't be happier with the work that Rafael has done and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for any landscaping work in the area. Additionally, he came in right around the price that he quoted with no surprises which is great! read more

I found Rafael from searching Yelp. Thanks again to all you Yelpers out there! Rafael is responsive, professional, courteous, punctual, and hardworking. The cost for his services are very reasonable. Rafael removed my old dead lawn and replaced it with a beautiful fescue. The work was done meticulously and was completed faster than I anticipated. He gave me a watering schedule for the new lawn based on the sprinkler's water pressure. I was so impressed with Rafael's expertise, work ethic and quality of work, that I requested his gardening services going forward. Thanks so much Rafael for making my lawn and the front of my house look beautiful again. read more

Having to sell our home with very little notice, we needed landscape services from a respected and trusted pro in the business. Rafael saved the day! He provided a quick evaluation and a fair bid for a beautiful landscaping plan---and started work the next day. Midway through the project, we added a sprinkler system which he installed the following morning along with new sod. With new mulch being spread tomorrow, the place looks amazing! We'll be encouraging the new owners to have Rafael mow and maintain their beautiful new back yard! read more

Rafael did extensive work on our landscape - installing a new driveway with pavers, rerouting our drainage pipes, putting in a new sprinkler system, consulting with us on picking plants, planting grass, and finishing on time and on budget. Honest, fair prices, hard worker along with his team, always there to give us updates, overcommunicate, and confirm our choices as the job was in progress - all you can ask for in a landscape contractor. He earned the business. Can't wait to tackle the backyard now. read more

We hired Rafael about 2 months ago and got an estimate to take out our old grass (which had become weeds) from both the front and back yard and install a new lawn in both yards. We also needed to get a sprinkler system put in to the lawns to get the garden looking new again. Rafael and his men did a wonderful job making our yards look new again! We are thoroughly pleased and would recommend him in a heartbeat. We've decided to use him for maintenance of our new lawn. He's always upbeat and has great positive energy! Thank you Rafael:) read more
