"I hired these guys to add an irrigation system at my house and they did a great job, good people to work with"

"It went great. Adan was very punctual. The bid was very competitive. He and his crew did great job. He finished the job in a day and a half. Works great. I will use S&Q again. I would highly recommend this company. Scott Audiss"

"Bret was excellent in his promptness to our requests and follow up. During his initial visit, he listened to our needs and ideas and immediately showed us basically what he would do, where and why. We reviewed photos and discussed many options and he put together a simple and complete bid which was updated and presented to us whenever there was a change. He accommodated every request transparently, asking for approval prior. We now have a much larger patio due to his design using some previously unused area in which was installed a gorgeous sitting wall around a custom natural gas fire pit. Additionally, Bret has some excellent landscaping ideas and taste and incorporates just enough lighting to enhance everything. His workmen are highly skilled, very friendly, attentive, disciplined and cleaned up every day. Whenever I asked questions they gave me good answers. We now have a stunning patio more beautiful than we had imagined. Everything was done well. You won't be disappointed if you hire them."

"Excellent service. Paul was very professional, communicated well and was here on time. He explained what he was doing very clearly. Helped with problem areas and told us how to winterize. We will definitely use him in the future for any sprinkler needs."

"I can't say enough good things about the service provided by McKinley Landscaping. Gerald, the owner, was personally on-site about 80% of the time (9 day project) with his workers. We had to make a few adjustments to the scope of work but he handled it efficiently and painlessly. Gerald is a hands on contractor, listens to the client and pays attention to details. I can't believe how beautiful my yard is now, and how pleasant the process went. You will pay a little more for this quality of work...and it's worth every penny. By the way, I've also hired his crew to do the maintenance year round for a reasonable price. Thank you McKinley Landscaping!"

"I don’t normally write reviews. My wife and I are extremely happy with Cody’s work that he did for us, I am more satisfied with his finished work than the previous company I had used for years,” Affordable Landscape maintenance service.” He is a nice young man with a good attention to detail and a good work ethic. He does a great job! His rates are also fair and affordable, he now does all the weekly maintenance of our yard."

"My initial contact with Jack was lovely.  He was able to come out to give me an estimate on the day that I called him initially.  For the estimate/consultation, he arrived when he said he would.  He is a generally pleasant person to meet with and I was glad that he had multiple ideas for how my property could be improved but didn't necessarily "upsell" me on them in the first meeting.  In retrospect, I realize that I should have gotten a written contract from him but he seemed so generally affable (and had positive Angie's List reports) that I let my guard down when I shouldn't have.  I was fine with the price that he provided and we agreed that he/his employees would do the work the next weekend.  He asked for half of the total price at the end of the first meeting ($200).  

As he was going to be putting down Casoron in my yard a few days prior to the full clean-up, I needed to know when he was coming to spray so that I could keep my dog inside the house.  The day that he said he was coming, he called both my home and cell phones and we arranged a time.  He was on time.  Jack said that the weed spray needed a few days to kill the weeds and that they would do the yard when the weeds yellowed.  We arranged everything for the Saturday clean up and he said that everyone would arrive between 9 and 9:30 am.

By 10:45 on Saturday no one had arrived.  I called Jack and gave my name and address and he was confused as to who I was.  He said this was because he had another customer whose house he was at in another location with the same street number.  In any case, he said that the crew would arrive shortly.  The crew arrived shortly after 11 in the morning and worked until 4:00 or so in the afternoon.  I wasn't home when they arrived but Jack asked my husband if he would like for them to mow the back lawn since they already had the lawnmower in the truck.  I had understood that the lawns were part and parcel of the initial bid.  Jack came back when the crew was about finishing and we looked around.  The yard did look much better.  The crew was efficient and did good work.  When they left for the day, there was still a couple of things that needed to be done (and others that I thought would happen and didn't).  Jack said that they would return on Tuesday to complete the following things: respray for weeds, trim/shape four large bushes, and trim/shape some bushes along the decorative front fence.  Jack also mentioned that he would "finish" off the job with some bark (just to make it look especially finished) and that he would fix part of my sprinkler.  Again, Jack was very affable and seemed trustworthy and so I didn't balk (although I should have) when he asked for a check for the rest of the agreed upon amount (another $200).  He asked me to post a review on Angie's List because his customers were very important to him.  He cashed the check on Wednesday of the next week.

For a full week I played "phone tag" with Jack and tried to get his crew to come finish the job.  When he left on Saturday, he was coming Tuesday.  I called on Wednesday and he said he was coming Thursday.  I called Friday morning and first he tried to tell me that someone had been there and sprayed (I'd been here all afternoon and no one had come) and then he said he'd be "right over" but never showed.  I had to go to work but later in the day I got a call saying that the "yard had been sprayed."  This was one of several things that needed to be done.  My husband returned Jack's call on Friday night and he said he'd be here on Monday.  On Monday, Jack did come and trimmed several bushes in the front yard and took care of a portion of the other things that he said he would after the initial consultation. He also moved a set of ornamental trees for no reason that I can think of (it was never mentioned...).
 
I realize that in the larger scheme of landscape/gardening, my $400 cleanup job was not the highest priority and that the bulk of the work was completed.  There were parts of the job that were mentioned initially (specifically fertilizing the lawn) that were not completed but I'm willing to accept that was a misunderstanding.  What irks me is that on multiple occasions Jack said he was going to do something (or be here at a certain time) and it took a fair amount of effort and cajoling on my part to get the job finished.

"Exceptional!!! I cannot recommend them enough. Please call the owner, Rodrigo Ortiz. You will be sooooo glad you did!!! He installed new sod for me in my whole backyard, as well as soil/mulch, and it looks beautiful!! He also installed more dirt in part of the yard to even out the ground, and planted new plants, as well as trimming all plants in the front and back, and mulching the front. My yards finally look finished now!! He walked through the entire process with me, kept in constant phone contact, gave me great pricing, and had all of this work done in a matter of days. He can handle anything and everything. Please contact him about any landscape project you have, no matter how large or small, and he and hus team will do a wonderful, professional job. I highly recommend them!"

"This company did a large job for us with the lawn, leaf removal, and tree trimming and removal. They did great work, were very professional and courteous, and priced competitively. I've recommended them to others, and I've already decided that I'll be using them in the future."

"The technician was in our area and called and came right over. Had our system up and running quickly."
