(American Landscaping performed this work for my father-in-law and the following review is from him.) We requested quotes from a number of different landscaping companies. American Landscaping (AL) was the first one to send a person to my house to take measurements and pictures. We asked them to quote with modular concrete block. They provided a quote very quickly, with very good details on the scope of the project. Their quote was very reasonable and we decided to go with them after comparing other quotes. AL told us that the project could be started one week after the contract was signed and would be completed within one week. We also needed to get approval from our homeowners' association; AL was very patient as we worked through the approval process. Once this was complete, we signed the contract with AL. Payment was divided into 3 installments: 1/3 at contract signing for the material to be delivered, 1/3 after mid point of the project, and the last 1/3 after completion and satisfaction. The project supervisor, Hugo, is the brother of the owner. He was very flexible and easy to work with to meet our needs. His staff also worked hard and were very courteous. There was a section of the wall that was taller than AL originally estimated; they were reasonable and we resolved the problem to both of our satisfaction. The project started and completed on time, and AL cleaned up the debris generated during the project after completion. We discovered a small defect on the cap stone a week after the work was completed, but we e-mailed the owner, Ruben, and he promptly sent a crew out to replace the defect. Our experience with AL was very positive. We are very satisfied with our new concrete block retaining walls and we've gotten many compliments from our neighbors on how nice they look.

We have a small driveway which was not paved but covered with gravels and stones. With this year's heavy rain, the gravels and stones had been washed away quite a lot. So we decided to have it paved either with concrete or paver stones. We contacted two contractors. While the other contractor was not very interested, since it is a small project, the American Landscaping Crew was very responsive from the beginning. It was easy to set up appointment for estimation, and they arrived on time. The estimator gave us several options, for each of which the quote was cheaper than the other contractor. So we decided to hire them. Within one week, they started the project. The staff were really hard-working and skillful. It took them two days to finish the job, including the driveway and wood wall. Not only the driveway looks beautiful, but also the wood wall was installed much better than our old walls. We are very happy about their job and will definitely hire them in the future if we have similar projects. Plus, the owner is very responsive. He would call you before they set off on the estimation day and on each of their working days. He also called me for feedback after the job was finished. If you left a message or wrote an email, he would respond within one day. Very pleasant to work with.

I could not be more pleased with this company. Ruben and his crew were responsive from the start of the project, all the way through to completion. I gave them my design for the patio, and the company ran with it - giving me options for pavers and their cost, a complete installation schedule, and troubleshooting drainage issues that came with the install. The crew worked VERY long days in order to get the project finished on time and on budget. I was charged a flat fee and never saw that price increase based on the initial quote for the design. I was impressed at not only the speed of the installation, but the quality of the work performed. The patio looks great and it looks EXACTLY like I wanted.

He came out and talked to me and looked at everything and drew up a plan. He presented me with a quote. He had a huge portfolio of his work from start to finish on the projects so that we could see his work and what he had done. We were extremely happy. The work that we got from him was better than all the other quotes we got. The quality was great. They were responsive to questions, comments and phone calls. Even after he was gone, I had some questions, and he would call me right back. We were very impressed with his workmanship, the quality of his work and the pricing. I highly recommend them. He is one of the best contractors I have ever used.

I deliberately waited until now to submit this report to see how things have held up over a year later. American Landscaping completed all work on time and within budget as agreed. I found them to be much cheaper than other landscaping companies. I would highly recommend this company for hardscape installations, i.e. retaining walls, patios, etc. They also did a satisfactory job on the irrigation system and softscape installation, i.e. installation of bush, trees, flowers, etc. Ruben, the owner, was always fair, courteous, and professional. His workers were also very nice and worked hard, but they could not speak English very well, which made it difficult for me to communicate with them when Ruben was not around. I was a little disappointed in the post-installation follow-up and issue resolution. Several of the trees and shrubs did not survive due to irrigation issues. Ruben corrected most of the irrigation issues and replaced most of the trees and shrubs free of charge. It was a little frustrating at times (as it is with any large project), but for the most part Ruben did stand behind his work and overall I'm pleased with the outcome. Overview and Grade: Hardscape Installation: A Softscape Installation: B Irrigation System Installation: B Post-Installation Follow-up and Issue Resolution: B Overall Grade: B Recommendation to Consumer: This is not exclusive to American Landscaping. Have a solid plan in place and request a warranty for all work performed in writing (1 year min.). Request a tree and shrub replacement warranty in writing (1 year min., no exclusions), especially if you use an irrigation system. I found that many landscaping companies will not warranty plants if an irrigation system is not used, which I can fully understand.

This was my first experience with them. I wanted them to continue to do my yard on a regular basis but it was too costly for my budget. However, if I need a yearly maintenance clean up, I would definitely call them again. I was so pleased with the results as my yard looked wonderful. It is a family owned business as they take pride in their work.
