Jorams landscaping

I would not recommend them to anyone else! It started off good as he was very agreeable, and promised a lot of positive results. He seem to be someone that would work with you on pricing to ensure you got a quality job at a fair price. What ended up happening was a lot of delays excuses and setbacks. Overall, the job was not done well he put rock in our front yard. The plastic was not laid down properly. The design sucks. Looks like a weird putting golf in the middle of the yard along the edges. Weeds are already growing back and it has not even been a month !! after knocking down one of the side walls he did not put in concrete to fix the wall. he knocked down, nor did he fill in the driveway area where the post was removed. After asking him to come and fix the areas in which he left undone, he promised over and over to come and fix it which he never did. I have text messages of that. He also asked for an advance during doing the work because he said his truck had broken down and that he had a few trucks out at the time. It also seem like he was trying to juggle a few jobs at once, and didn’t have the manpower nor the means to do so. Nothing was ever done when scheduled and his word was not dependable. He left his dump trailer in front of our house for three weeks Because he said he was unable to get it until his truck was out of the shop. Just very unprofessional, overall !! He didn’t give an itemize list for what he was actually going to do but it was promised that he would bring his cat into the backyard to properly scrape and level it that never happened, but we were still charge the same amount I would assume bringing the cat to the backyard and knocking down a wall would have a cost so I’m not sure how we still paid the same amount when he never did that work. $3800 !!! The workers left trash behind and overall just was not a professional good experience. Very juvenile mediocre work for a professional. I would give it a 1 out of 10 and the one only comes from the promises given in the beginning, but I would suggest for anyone that does choose to go with them is get an itemized list fully written out with the cost of each thing and whatever you don’t see done don’t pay for. he also made promises for the backyard that he then changed and said that he didn’t say or that was misunderstood so we cut our losses with the front yard and hired another contractor for the back. Very disappointed overall.

Joram Melendez was suppose to begin work on 8 May, 2023. He did not begin work until June. By then he already broke his contract, which he wrote this to be good for 30 days. He claimed he went to jail and had his truck impounded for bullets in a gun case in Mexico. He poured 3 slabs of concrete, put gravel in yard using plastic under rocks. This plastic is for drywall. He installed water drips, and sprinkler system that did not work proper. He tore down my gate and rock wall to bring his bobcat in yard. From time of his arrest there were days he worked or would not show up. Many days he did no work or he sent other guys. Most of time they sat on butts. They tore up my front yard using their bobcat. Plastic was placed under rocks, weeds and grass started coming up 3 days later. There were areas we found no ground covered under rocks. The gate was reinstalled uneven and we told him but he did nothing. He was to have planted 7 trees which was to be included in cost. He claimed due to his arrest and truck he needed money for trees. My son and I refused to give him money. I went and bought the trees and 10 bushes. The bushes are all dead because his drips do not work. Plus he dumped a trailer of concrete, rocks, large tree branches, and other trash in my front yard from somewhere else and has never come by to pick up and remove this junk. We had to hire another to rebuild my rock wall because he began demanding $2,225 more to rebuild the wall. We refused his offer due to being way too high. After we knew how he installed the gate, we knew he was not able to do the rock wall correctly. He started threatening to put a lien on our house. He began begging for money, even for the rocks which we had paid for. We refused his demands. He began to scare us after his arrest, wanting to know if our security cameras worked and telling us he believed he was being followed.

Job was not complete to satisfactory. Used drywall plastic sheeting to lay rocks in back yard. Not even a week later weeds were already growing. Irrigation system installed does not work properly. Continued to demand more and more money even after paid. Had to hire another contractor to repair wall he tore down. Left trash in yard including debris from another property and refuses to clean it up.

Customer service and punctuality was stellar. No formal estimate or receipt was provided. Would still call on this gentleman for help in the future.

The job was done to my specifications. Although, it was started later than originally agreed on and it ran a day longer than initially expected. The crew he left to work on the project consisted of two very young men. I didn't feel that they worked with much urgency, and the job was completed when Joram and another worker showed up. Overall, Joram was easy to work with and honest.

Everything went well, the work was started and completed on time. Worker was very knowledgeable, attitude was great. Very efficient and well thought out plan for getting the job done.

Jorams crew was top notch. Quality work reasonable price.

Joram is a reliable contractor, will get job done and his experience shows. Great qualified concrete service!
