Wonderful job! Jose and his team did a really great job cleaning up my garden and yard after I had not had weekly maintenance done in a little while and my yard/garden had overgrown a bit. His team worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done. Everything looks really tidy and nice, they were also great at listening to any special requests that I had. I will definitely keep them in mind for future maintenance and also recommend them to friends and family!

I recently moved into a new home with an elaborate garden that has suffered from years of neglect. Jose was very responsive and helpful in deciding how to proceed with restoring the landscaping and his crew has worked diligently to help get it back to its former state. So far my experience has been that Jose and his crew go "above and beyond" to ensure customer satsifaction. Would definitely recommend.

Jose promptly answered my first call to set up a visit for the estimate. He showed up on time and provided answers to all of my questions. His son Ricky came on the appointed day with a fellow worker and all was done in one day. Prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and always returned calls immediately. Will be using him for future yard projects.

I did not hire Jose, because my job was really too small. He did give me some great advice and regamended some good products. If I ever need his services in the future I would certainly hire him.

Jose Barba is awesome. Even though I didn't hire him due to budget limitations, he willingly gave me a free consultation over the phone and advice on how to tend to my soil erosion. Thanks Jose!

I called Barba Landscaping based on the ad in my regional edition of the Angie’s List magazine. Because the company is about 20 miles away, I asked Mr. Barba to confirm it serves my area. Rather than giving me a simple yes or no, Mr. Barba asked me to pitch him my project so he could determine if it was worth his while. In light of other recent reviews, his assumption that I might be bothering him about something menial was all I needed to know.
Response from Barba Landscape & Design

"he hung the phone up on me as soon as I said it depends what you need done . If he would have given me the opportunity to explain we do not do weekly maintenance in his neighborhood . But we do do design and install . He just hung the phone up and didn't have the chance to explain ."

We had made an appointment for Monday but it was a no-show. When we called, he said he had mistakenly scheduled us for Tuesday. Okay, fine, that can happen. So, we rescheduled for Thursday. Thursday comes around and it's another no-show. We call to find out what happened and he forgot about us.
