Great guy. Seemed a bit pricey but I am not sure of the going rate for this type of job. Was attentive and gave me good advice going forward. Will definitely use again.

Even though the water was off and I said he could take his time doing the job, he wanted to come the same day.
He did the work, bought supplies, showed me the cause of the leak and allowed me to watch the pipe being glued and to see it was not leaking before refiiling the dirt.
On another occasion, he replaced the heads of all sprinklers and fine-tuned the settings.

They quickly removed the trees themselves. But apparently, removing the stumps costs more, so I will have to have that done in the future.

On time, 1 day's effort.  Had a minor change of mind in the middle of the effort -- no problem, no extra charge.  We will use them again.

They got the vine all removed.  They removed it without doing anymore damage to the fence.  They also left some of the vine that was weaved into the fence where it was at my request.  They also hauled some debris from the side of my house that was left over from my son doing some work on my bathroom.

Dorado's Tree Service did a fine job. I was pleased with them. They were prompt. They got here when they said they would. They finished when they said they would. They did a good job.

 James was there to give me an estimate within two hours. We agreed on the price and he scheduled the job for the following morning. Everything was done exactly as I had requested. There was a wooden planter and a small tree that was removed also. The job site was spotless when they finished. I thought the price was a little high but I wanted a quality job and I got it.

We found Dorado's on Angies List.  We called for an appointment for him to come look at our lawn and give us an estimate on the cost of replacing it.  Mr. Dorado was very professional in our conversation with him, and we decided to hire him to replace our lawn.  He and his crew did a beautiful job. They were on time every day, and worked very hard to see that the job was done timely.  They were all courteous, conscientious, and dependable. We would not hesitate to hire him again for any work that we would need to have done. Our new lawn looks beautiful. In fact, two of our neighbors hired him to replace their lawn, and we have given two other neighbors his business card when they asked who put the new lawn in. Kudos to Dorado's! They were great.

DORADO's is an A+++ Landscaping business.  Owned and operated by James Dorado.  
For this job, I called James & he came by at an agreed upon day/time & estimated the job.  I accepted his bid & we made arrangements for 9AM start time for the next day, Saturday.  He is always on time and today showed up as promised with 2 crew members, prompt start & was finished by 1:30 pm!   This was no easy job folks - the removal of several of these were really big jobs in themselves - so hubby & I were both shocked. 
I joined Angie's List to specifically leave feedback on one extremely untrustworthy landscaping business AND to let you know about one our superior landscaping businesses we have here!  
James has been my landscaper since 1998.  He first came to my door as a cold call, offering to do tree service.  I took him up on his bid for the trees to be done.  I have never regretted it from that very first day.   He returns calls quickly, is always on time & VERY FAIR IN PRICE!!!  Over the years James has removed several trees/palms completely.  And trees trimmed, yard waste hauled away.  Every time has been a great experience.  The finished product shows how much James really cares about the work he does - I have never had a bad result.  PLEASE get a competative bid from James Dorado if you have need of landscaping/tree services.  Beyond reasonable.
He has always trimmed my trees, except for one time - which I regretted & was the reason he came today - I needed him to fix and finish what was done by a disreputable, shady landscaper just days ago.  I will never again use another business other than DORADO's for my landscaping needs.   It always looks terrific when finished, attention to detail shows prominently & all is cleaned up nicely afterwards, always.
 Lastly and just as important for you to know, to date, no matter the job he's come to do, they all have been done in one day or less.  He brings crew as needed or does it all himself. I highly recommend this company.  I believe you too will be as happy as I have been and am today.  He's a professional & it shows.  Trees & hedges look happy, seriously :)  I know I am and so is my husband again.
See you next time James :)
