Rain Forest LA Inc

Rain Forest came highly recommended. After lots of vetting and research we decided they were the landscaping company to take our front and back yard to the next level. We were not disappointed!! Yosi, came up with the most beautiful designs, clearly communicated everything and listened to what we needed. We now are now spending most our time in the front and back. We are so happy we would highly recommend them to anyone interested!!

It was good quality works and they did a really nice job. They were a little bit expensive but it was worth it for the result.

very well, a little hard to communicate

Yosef and his team installed a new gate. Their quote was in line with two others we received, they were punctual and did an excellent job. I would recommend this company to everyone.

Fine. A little challenging to get scheduled. Work was satisfactory.

Yosi was very professional, responsive and prices were very good. The project started and completed on time, most of the plants I wanted were available at the nursery he used. I had a couple plants die which he came back and replaced with no problem per his warranty. Only one small issue I had with some grass growing back, which I ended up taking care of myself. But overall experience was great and I would highly recommend this company.

We could not be more pleased with Rainforest LA. Yosi was super responsive by text and an absolute professional every step of the way. He came and gave an estimate, accompanied us to the nursery to pick out plants and got the job done earlier than expected. He even squeezed us in early since we were planning a party and wanted to have the job done before then. The yard looks beautiful. Workers were friendly, hard working and cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Yosi and his team!

Wonderful. Yosi was absolutely professional and great to work with. He responded immediately to my inquiry and was even able to get our job done earlier than expected when I let him know we were having a party this month. We went to the nursery with him and picked out the plants we wanted and it looks gorgeous. We have even had people drive by and take pictures of the landscaping and lots of compliments and it hasn't even filled out like it eventually will yet. The team was very polite and cleaned up afterwards. I highly recommend Yosi and his team.

Terrible. The person came but never returned to do the landscape work.

I received a detailed estimate for thousands for work that I did not need and could not afford, and we finally settled on $1,400 (in addition to the $299 already paid), for the cleanup and path. I was told that 'a small space' would be left between flagstones. (Small space - to me - sounds like maybe up to a half inch). To my horror, when I arrived home, the workers had only used a small portion of my flagstones, leaving a foot between stones, filled in with an ugly sand and gravel mixture. After time passed, the sandy mix blew around and the flagstones are now raised above the ugly sandy mix. I guess I should have taken the day off work to supervise! I am really unhappy with the overpriced work, and am trying to figure out how to fix my path, short of tearing it out.

Was late, but called twice to reschedule for slightly later and to check in as it was a busy morning for him. Was professional, polite, honest, and extremely helpful. He emailed the estimate promptly and even followed up with a phone call to ask if we had any additional questions. He was our second choice and we almost hired him (he had a great personality, his estimate was really competitive, and we liked his honesty and straightforwardness). We would definitely call him and consider hiring him for future work.

The owner Yosi and his crew were professional, courteous, fairly priced, and very efficient. Each day the job site was left clean and an update was provided about what was completed and what would be happening the following day. From demolition to finishing touches, the job was completed in 8 days, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a quality job at a fair price with outstanding results.

Contacted Rain Forest LA, Inc. via Angie's List messaging requesting a cost estimate for the delivery and installation of 165 square feet of sod.  It's a very small job.  The bid provided also included the installation of an irrigation system and timer ($780) which I did not ask for and do not want for such a small area.  Fair enough, it was a reasonable assumption and no harm in trying to up-sell a bit.  But the cost for installing 165 square feet of sod ($1,360) was THREE TIMES this providers nearest competitor and online cost estimators for sod installation.  I might go along with a slight premium due to the size of the job but I thought this pricing was worth a mention.

He called on Dec 21st at 11:10 and said he thought the app. was for the 22nd of Dec. and we had it scheduled for Dec. 21st at 11:00 so we rescheduled it for the 22nd at 10:00. He showed up at 10:00 and I showed him the work I wanted done and he said he doesn't do work with the pavers I have and I said your ad said patio pavers and I bought 130 pavers to be laid down to have a patio built and 
he said he couldn't do the work so he left.

All went fine. They did a great job.  Beyond the coupon purchased, they offered to take it to the dump for $300.  Taking that to the dump would have been $50.  A bit of markup for profit is fine, but that was too much.  I opted not no.

Had to make sure they took the hardscape and debris they were supposed to--they tried to hide some things behind the pool house rather than taking them.  There were a lot of list and reminders necessary, or things got forgotten about or not done.  But after planting was done it looked originally pretty good, work was final on Easter weekend.  
Within a week we realized irrigation was insufficient, which they came by to "fix" but didn't resolve anything.  Those plants died pretty soon.  Part of the DG was washed away and in our street instead of where it should be. 
Lots of plants started dying, and Yossi came by after many many many calls and texts, and agreed they needed to be replaced.  It's been over 4 months now, he's not replaced any plants and I can no longer reach him.
Lighting started dying and flickering within three months, and Yossi said the light bulbs just needed to be replaced and he'd take care of it.  That was several months ago.  The lights still flicker and there are short circuits, several lights don't work at all.  I would not recommend letting them put in lighting as they don't use an electrician and have no way to make sure things are safe and properly done.
Yossi demanded payment in full the last date of the project.  We should not have paid him then, and recommend if you do use him waiting 3-4 months at least to make sure he returns to follow up on things.  We were sad, as we had at least two other projects we were going to use Yossi for, but now cannot.
