DO NOT USE Chris Bargain Lawn Care! During the week of 7/7, he mismanaged all aspects of our…read morelandscaping project, leading us to lose over $5,000 due to improper application of synthetic turf, failure to remove old turf and decomposed granite from our yard, putting a nail through our sprinkler line, and placing sticky sand all over our pavers requiring additional cleanup. Chris was informed about the removal of turf, roots, and DG four days prior to completion, but did not respond. I had over 100 text and phone calls with his subcontractor - Boots Construction, who was rarely present and did not address the issues. One time, he left to give a quote for another job instead of staying at our house. Chris guaranteed Boots would always be on site. I spent over 25 hours supervising and fixing problems with the entire project. Chris assured me of Boots' expertise, which proved false. Despite receiving payments, Boots has not paid his crew. Chris was sent numerous pictures and text, but did not resolve any of these problems. In fact, he stated he would be unable to provide any assistance or reimbursement of any kind.... Not even a penny. * Paver problems: Boots didn't take the right samples or measurements, so the pavers were mismatched and cut poorly. The sand was applied badly, and they didn't install root barriers as promised. * Fire pit and walkway issues: The fire pit area was uneven and needed to be redone. * Mulch mess: The crew piled mulch against the plants, even though they were told not to. We had to redo all the mulch installations around 150 plants. * Crew's behavior: The crew left trash all over our yard, including pizza boxes and water bottles we purchased for lunch. Chris stated on the 6th day our yard would be left in a pristine state and the opposite happened. They even left loose razor blades that were a hazard to our dogs! * Turf troubles: Turf and DG were removed with no disposal plan, leaving our gate unusable and driveway blocked until we paid 1-800-Got-Junk for removal. Chris did not respond when contacted. The turf showed visible nail spots, uneven seams, improper cuts, and house flashing and two sprinkler lines were damaged requiring another contractor for repairs. Boots used only a third of the specified infill amount. * Root removal problems: The roots weren't removed to the agreed depth, which could cause future issues. We had to buy materials to finish the root barrier installation. * Contract and payment concerns: Chris required a 25% upfront payment on 7/2, exceeding California's legal 10% downpayment limit, citing the need for pre-July 4th material purchases. However, receipts show no materials were bought until 7/11. Chris mismanaged the job and failed to respond to calls on Thursday and Friday. Despite our contract with him, he took no direct responsibility and communicated only about payments from Monday to Saturday. The subcontractor did not handle the turf professionally, contrary to Chris's assurances. Both Chris and Boots Construction are not licensed contractors according to the California State License Board. I would give a negative star rating if possible.

The backyard needed a ton of work as all the grass was dead, weeds everywhere, 6 trees needed a lot of trimming.

Joaquin and his crew were friendly, professional, on time (which is huge for us), and did an absolute amazing job on getting our place looking good again. I have zero complaints. 2 days after they finished, on of my sprinkler valves busted. Joaquin came over, replaced it right away and didn't try to over charge me for the last minute work. I definitely recommend Joaquin and his team for any of the services that they offer!

Noe Pablo was the most thorough in messaging through the Yelp app, so my husband and I chose him. I had 2 medium-sized fruit trees I needed to transfer from my parent's home in Southeast San Diego to mine in North County. I took pictures and he gave us a very reasonable price. We also decided to also add another service to take out our palm tree. There were a couple of mishaps such as: The day he was scheduled to take out the palm tree, he was a no-show and my husband had to call him an hour after he was supposed to arrive. Then, the day after that incident, was the fruit tree transfer. He and his team forgot to bring their dolly. Thank goodness my Dad had one so they borrowed it, but now we have the burden in taking it back. Despite these mishaps, Noe was very knowledgeable and professional in his mannerisms. The day of the fruit tree transfer, he and his team arrived in a timely manner, was efficient and did a great job overall. We were very pleased and will definitely use him again if we have another project.

I honestly have the healthiest lawn on the block, which can be difficult to accomplish in sunny San Diego! This is all due to my hiring Lawn Doctor for routine lawn service. They are a pleasure to work with, as well. They always notify me that they'll be servicing my lawn, and you can have an auto pay profile set up, or you can easily pay them online after the service. This is a simple, affordable, and effective way to have a beautiful lawn that all of your neighbors will be jealous of! ;) A big thanks to Lawn Doctor and their expertise!

I have been a homeowner for thirty-eight years and have tried so many other lawn-care services,…read moreonly to go back to fertilization myself, but I always needed to hire someone to aerate the lawn. COVID put the person I always used in the past, so I searched for someone new. When Thomas came out, he listened to me and explained why I didn't need that service. He explained how each clump of blades is an individual plant, taking tens of thousands of plants to make up my yard. We even discussed where Bermuda grass was slowly taking over in one area of the yard. Because of his knowledge and how he explained things, I decided to give him a chance to do what he suggested. Power seed and fertilize, followed by a fertilization and soil treatment one month later. For the price, I thought if it worked, it was a good value, and if it didn't, I would find someone to aerate in the fall. I can not be happier. The Bermuda grass area has shrunk over ninety percent in three months. The lawn is thicker than I ever had it in the past, and I will admit greener than I would get, and I took pride in how green my grass stayed. The long stretch is what I call the dog run. My eighty-pound German Shepherd and I run up and back along this stretch of grass during two daily play sessions (morning and afternoon). The other photo is a patch of grass with minimal traffic unless we have a party with kids. Ginger is trained not to tinkle on any of the grass;) I say in closing, in a light-spirited manner, give Thomas a call because the grass is greener, thicker, and healthier on my side of the fence neighbor:).

Bought a house last year. When I did so, I told myself I would be able to keep up with the little…read morebit of landscaping we had in both the front and backyards. And I did! For a little while, at least. Trimmed my trees, mowed the grass, kept the weeds from encroaching, even sawed off a couple of the bad branches. This lasted for about six months before it was too much to keep up with and after six more months of my yard turning into much less fun version of the Jungle Cruise, I came to Yelp to find a solution. Mountain Lawn Care turned out to be a pretty good solution. They didn't charge much for the initial cleaning and monthly visits have been very reasonable. When going through options and talking to other competitors that gave quotes at sometimes twice the cost, I realized that there are some jobs where 'pretty good' is more than sufficient. My yard is clean, the trees that needed branches cut off have been pruned back, and the front no longer scares the neighbors with the growls of hidden predators among the weeds! And all this beauty and cleanliness from someone who came in as one of the lower bidders among six other requests. That's both great and economical. I'm not looking for the best meal of my life, I'm not looking to get a haircut I can go outside with, I'm not looking for someone to make a topiary in front of my house. What I'm looking for I got, for a price I can accept. About the only issue I have is that Mountain Lawn Care doesn't seem to have a set schedule when doing monthly follow-ups. I seem to be messaging every four weeks setting up new appointments. But that's just more of an inconvenience I can live with. Other than that, these guys are great!
