I highly recommend Mike for Gardening service. Very trustworthy individual, gets the job done and great communicator and always follows through. He's great at letting you know a day or two before he works on your yard, completes the work, and then follow's up with a text and sometimes photos of the finished results so you can be put at ease that the job is complete. Mike provides great service and great value and glad to have him keeping my yard in great condition. read more

I got Mike's contact from visiting card sticked to my mailbox. I read the reviews in yelp and called him and scheduled the maintainence of my lawn ( twice a month). He came in the next day & mow the lawn and he did a decent job. But he just disappeared after that and didn't replied to my messages and blocked my number too. When I called from other number after a month waiting ... he picks up and says, he is busy & will not be coming. That's really bad attitude. Atleast, he would have informed me that, he will not be able to come. Don't believe in this guy. read more

Ive used Mike's services recently and I must say, he does a fantastic job!!! He is very courteous, professional and doesn't overcharge. While my Mom wanted him to prune less of the trees, he explained to her the advantages of pruning back a little further. She trusted him enough to let his judgement prevail. My mom is very happy with his work and that's A1 in my book. Mike is a very hard working man and I highly recommend him for all your gardening and landscaping needs!!! read more

Great service! Mike responded promptly to my text message, and passed by to survey my backyard for a quote within that day. I got lucky cause he was able to squeeze us in for an appointment within two days to clean my backyard. He quickly fixed my backyard for such a great price. He will definitely be our go to on fixing the yard going forward :-) read more

Mike has been my landscaper for years and I trusted him so much that I prepaid him for 2 years of service when I moved out of state. He comes regularly as scheduled and even sent me pictures to show what he's done since I'm not there to see for myself. When I put my house up for sale, he even worked me in for additional timeslots so I could keep my yard open-house ready. Mike is a great guy, super honest, and a great asset to have for my house. My neighbors even asked for his information because they appreciated him cleaning up their areas, which he didn't have to do. read more

My husband and I have been working with Mike for two years and have only wonderful things to say about him! He is communicative, reliable, responsive, efficient, hardworking, and an all around nice guy. Mike always texts my husband a day in advance to remind us of our appointment. He is great at rescheduling when we ask/letting us know if he needs to adjust the date due to a holiday. He is responsive and is open to additional requests/places to focus. He also is really good at what he does and goes above and beyond each visit. He has helped with weeding, trimming, maintaining astroturf, pruning trees/flowers, and keeping our hardscape clear. His rates are super reasonable and his work is great quality! If you're looking for an excellent person to help with your yard, I highly suggest you give Mike a call. read more

We highly recommend Mike for gardening services. He is extremely detail-oriented and knowledgeable. He helped us prune and shape our fruit trees, cleaned out the weeds, and maintained our variety of plants. -Fast response and showed up on time -Brokedown what needed to be done -Extremely clean -Fair priced read more

We have had Mike doing our yard since 2014. HE is honest, hardworking and honestly a really great value. He always shows up on his assigned day and once or twice I forgot to unlock it and he even made time to come back and do our yard another day that week.... which is honestly unheard of. The only time he has 'missed" a week was when the fires up north were so bad we wanted to pay him but have him skip our yard. He told us to keep the money and he will see us later that month... we honestly felt so bad because we did want to pay him as it was just unsafe to do work outdoors, but he refused payment since he did not do our yard(though seriously next time take the money if the customer offers ;-)). Mike if you read these thank you for your tireless work, understanding and just being a great landscaper. Due to personal and health issues you have been a blessing to our family. We don't need to worry about our yard when we have so much else on our plate and our kiddos can enjoy a clean yard thanks to you. read more

Mike's been taking care of our multiple yards for the last 3 - 4 years. It all started when we let our lawns get away from us one too many times and realized we could use some help. Enter Mike. He maintained our front and back lawns for us at our old house, then he did the same for our overly picky yet messy tenants, then he agreed to follow us to our new house... and we're lucky to have him. Mike's reliable (he comes monthly and he's yet to miss a day), he texts to confirm the appointments, his rates are very reasonable, and he's hardworking and kind. There were multiple instances when he took care of small things that normally aren't part of his job, like giving overgrown bushes a trim and weeding the flower beds. Thanks, Mike! read more

Mike is an awesome guy and a great landscaper. This review should been done years ago (sorry mike). I couldn't be happier with work and price Mike has given us. We have been using Mike for about 7-8 years now and he hasn't disappointed us yet. He's always willing to go the extra mile and take care of our landscape issues with out question. I can't say enough good things about him and his work. P.S. He beat our last landscapers fees by almost half. Yeahhhhh buddy! read more

This is an updated review, we've been with Mike for more than a year now and his quality of work still amazing! He does an honest job for a great price! Earlier review still stands: Mike is a great example of the word BUSY and QUALITY! He's definitely a hard working nice guy. I'm not a regular customer of his but when he has time to fit my yard into his schedule, I definitely appreciate his business as it always looks amazing after he's done. Thanks Mi read more

This is for Communication only. I ended up not using Yards By Mike. I was referred to him by another Landscaper who didn't do recurring Yard Maintenance which is what I needed. Mike responded to my text same day, he said that he was all booked for the time being unfortunately & judging by his Yelp reviews, it didn't surprise me. Mike is a very in demand guy. Mike said he might be able to squeeze me in depending how much work was needed & offered to stop by. Turns out, Mike mentioned he already does a recurring Yard Service for a neighbor of mine that lives down the street. Long story short, the guy who did my Tree Removal Service mentioned to me that his business also did a recurring Yard Maintenance service as well so my family decided to go with them. Mike was very nice during the whole ordeal & seem like a very hard working in-demand guy so make sure to book him if you can. Thanks Mike for the help! read more

Great work and friendly at a reasonable rate. He comes twice a month and maintains our backyard. He takes the yard trimming with him as well. We pay monthly at the time of the first visit. He texts us to remind us he's coming. He also tells us his suggestions on how to better our yard - like if our grass needs more water. We've been with him for a little less than a year since we moved into the house - but he came recommended by the previous owners of the house. read more

Mike has helped us for about five years now with our yard for maintenance. Recently he helped us build a beautiful planter box as well. Nice and dependable g read more

I have Mike serve my yard and my rental property's yard for over 5 years and he is continuously doing the great job. I talked to him today and he is still very friendly and humble as before. He is the most honest gardener I ever use. I am a busy person work in the Silicon Valley like most of us do. I don't time to micro manage the garden work and check the job every time after it's done. So with Mike, I can fully trust him and he never disappointed me in past 5 years. In addition, his price is super reasonable. I am highly recommended him. read more

Mike has taken care of our yard for more than two years. He always leaves with clear and beautiful yard every time. And he also gave lots of tips about how to maintain even for the house related issues. He also help to remove the weed and seeding the lawn if necessary. I am so glad that he can help us and give a wonderful look to our yard! read more

Love Mike! He's been coming to my parents house for years. The yard was getting to be to much for my dad so we decided to get him some help. Mike comes and takes care of the yard and trees, my dad loves to do the roses so he leaves those alone but the rest is all Mike. read more

Very reliable and trustworthy. He does a thorough job. Always communicates well with me.

Mike's been maintaining our yard for years now. He's reliable and does a great job. Is personable and friendly. Will do whatever you ask. We've never had a problem and would certainly recommend! read more

My backyard was a mess and hadn't been touched in almost 2 years. There was tall grass, weeds, and small trees with protruding branches blocking pathways; It needed some help badly. I called Mike after finding him on Yelp and reading all the positive reviews and he was able to look at the yard and give me a quote the same day I called. He detailed what he saw in the yard and what the job would entail, and made sure I understood what he needed to do. Mike said he could come out the coming Sunday morning around 9-10am to work on it and I accepted the quote. Sunday came along and he arrived a few minutes after 10am (no big deal, a street was unexpectedly closed nearby my home), he introduced himself and walked through the yard with me, explaining what he was going to do. After about 2 hours, Mike finished whacking all the weeds, cleared the tall grass, and trimmed away overgrown trees that were blocking the pathway to the yard. He even offered to spray some weedkiller along the path to the backyard, free of charge. I'm very satisified with his work and attitude, and would recommend him for any gardening work. read more

I called Mike (it took a few times b/c he's a very busy man) and he was able to come over on his lunch break to take a look at what we need done. (OMG it is a butt-load!) Mike quickly assessed our situation, and he politely/diplomatically, but frankly told me he wasn't right for the job and referred me to a friend who does the kind of work we need. (Landscaping and then bi-monthly yard maintenance). He even gave me some helpful ideas about other things. I wish Mike could do our yards DANGIT!!! 5 stars, for being; A. on time, B. courteous and professional, and C. Didn't mince words (but was respectful), and D. able to refer us to another who does the work we need done. Mike is a rare breed, and our hope is that we see more "regular" people who's not out to steel a buck, but who's upfront, honest, and cares. Too many services out there will rip you off and move on to the next pigeon. THANK YOU MIKE! : ) read more

We've been struggling to find someone to take care of our small but jungle-like backyard. Everyone we have tried to use in the past few months have been no shows or uninterested in helping us. We called Mike a week ago and he was very friendly. He came out in the evening to give us a quote and said he could come by on Sunday to complete the job. Sunday afternoon Mike shows up and before we know it, we have a wonderfully clean backyard. We finally used the grill that night! We are so happy that he is going to come on a monthly basis. Bottom line, Mike is friendly, hard working, professional and his rates are completely reasonable. Give him a call! read more

Mike (Fleming) did an awesome job with our backyard! He helped mow our lawn and trim our weeds...Our grass was literally 3-4 feet tall! (Filled up two green bins). He did all this for a very reasonable price. He also my weeds and trimmed a thorny blackberry bush growing over our fence, free of charge. He does all kinds of yard work, including mowing, trimming, weeding, blowing, edging, etc... Mike is a very nice guy, and very professional. I would highly recommend him. :) read more

Finally tired of yardwork and having weeds all over my yard, I found Yards By Mike on Yelp. I left a voicemail to get an estimate, and he called back within an hour. We set up an appointment that very day. At first I just wanted to try a one time appointment to clear out all the weeds. His rates were very reasonable and the yard looked a ton better after he and his team were done with it. I also had him trim some of the bushes too. I have him come monthly now, and each time the work is done as expected. Sometimes I ask him to trim certain trees, and it's done very well. Highly recommend him and his team. Like I said before, rates were very reasonable and they do a great job! read more

My husband read the reviews on Yelp and contacted Mike. He dropped by our place promptly to give a free estimate. I met him and within the first 5 minutes I knew I liked him, he seemed genuinely sincere and he also shared his life story and gave details on the kind of work he does. Then I gave him a tour of our front and backyard. The quotes he gave were very very reasonable and we asked him to come mow our front and back yards. We have a lot of fruit trees and a lot of apples get dropped this time of the season. Mike cleaned up the whole yard and blew the leaves, trimmed the overgrown bushes and also picked and trashed all the fallen fruit. He did a very clean and prompt job and managed to impress us. He is now on our speed dial and we call him once every 2-3 weeks to get our lawns mowed. He is very friendly and we would recommend his work to all our fellow yelpers! read more

Mike was very professional and made our junky yard look great! I would recommend him to anyone.

When my first gardener didn't show up and the yard was looking ugly again, I called around to a few places. The first few didn't answer or respond until hours later. I was able to reach Mike while he was at lunch, and he promised to call me right back. 5-10 minutes later, he did and we were able to find out he was conveniently nearby. So he came right over and gave me a most reasonable quote, and even said he could do it that same day since our garbage pick up was the next. I was quite pleased. Being a house renter and kind of new at this, he kindly walked me through what he would do, when he would do it, and how easiest to pay. Works for me! He completed the work that evening as promised, and when I came back home from errands I was very pleased by the work he completed. I look forward to continue having a good looking yard by Mike! p.s. the picture of Mike on here was really nice for me to know that he was the professional I was expecting, but his super-nice work van was also a dead giveaway he was legit! :) read more

Mike is Awesome! He's so good at his job. He cuts grass quickly and efficiently, he picks up all my spoiled fruit that falls, and if I ask him to help me with something that he doesn't usually do, he'll do it. He's very reasonable and always returns my calls or texts in less than 24 hours. read more

Mike was recommended by our neighbor. He came the next day after we called, he showed up promptly and gave us a very reasonable quote. We had our yard cleaned and trimmed by him on the same day, and we are really pleased with everything. Mike is very professional and friendly! Now we can really enjoy our yard like the way it should be, (it was a small jingle before, and both my husband and I are not gardening people) Thank you Mike! read more

Mike was awesome! We set up a day for him to come by, and he contacted us the day before to confirm. He was on time and took care of our yard very quickly. Everything looks amazing and he even cleaned out some ivy we had growing behind the garage without us having to ask. He was also friendly with our dog which was nice! read more

Mike has been great to work with in helping us get our front and back yards in shape. He was efficient and fast + also helped us in removing a dead cheap for a reasonable price. I look forward to working with him again. What he does in 2-3 hours would likely take me a day getting rid of the weeds in my yard. read more

Our back yard was in bad shape after neglecting it all winter long. Weeds were growing left and right and we had things piling up. It was a mess. After reading reviews for Mike on Yelp, I decided to give him a call. He came by the same evening to give a a very reasonable quote to clean our yard. He then scheduled us in for a cleaning a couple of days later. I wasn't home when he clean our yard, but when I arrived home I was blown away as to how great our back yard looked. It was so clean. He trimmed our tree, got rid of all the weeds, sprayed weed killer, and even threw away some junk we had piling up. We were very happy with the services that " Yards by Mike" provided. Thanks Mike! read more

Gave Mike a call, and answered right away, he apologized but said he is currently booked up with clients at the moment but referred me to another person I could contact. The beauty of yelp is helping small business entrepreneurs gain more clientele b/c of their great quality and service, but the downside is that they can quickly fill up and have trouble scaling. To all the reviewers hating on this one man show, see how you feel when your business exponentially grows overnight and you have trouble answering and returning every single call. Thanks Mike for the referral, hope he's as nice as you! read more

I'm writing this on behalf of my mother. She had problems with her last gardener and was looking for someone to do her backyard for her for her Birthday party she was having that week. As she was steadily interviewing and time was getting closer to her birthday I decided to assist her and look on yelp for her. Mike had such high ratings and gave him a call to meet at my mother's place of residence. He showed up on time, a plus for my mom who's other candidates did not show, he was well versed and extremely friendly and amazingly reasonable! Too make a long story short, he is now her Gardner, and she just loves his attention to detail and thoroughness! And wow very reasonable! Thank you Mike, you have made my mother very happy! read more

I called Mike after reading good reviews on Yelp and he came out to my house and got the work done all in the same day! He was very nice and hard working...Will be using him in the future! His prices are very affordable!! Thanks Mike! read more

I found Yards by Mike through yelp.com; I was impressed with all of the excellent reviews written about him and decided to give him a call. Shortly after, he was able to come out and give me an estimate. He arrived on time, was very professional, and gave me an estimate that was extremely reasonable. To be honest, I have had gardeners in the past and have felt taken advantage of by the amount of money they have charged me to do the work. Mike came out today to work on the yard. The place was a mess with weeds, etc. There were overgrown bushes and palm tress that needed pruning. He did everything! My yard (and front patio area) now look great. I can tell that he cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. I paid him the amount that we agreed upon and have him scheduled to come out once a month to take care of my yard. I appreciate all of the reviews and understand why he has such a good reputation - he really is as good as it gets! read more
