I am absolutely appalled by the service I received from Ed Castro Landscaping. It's truly astonishing that such a company can still be in business. From the outset, the project was plagued with mismanagement. The designer, Hannah Seaton, was unresponsive and unhelpful, and the project manager, Steve Lofstrom, acted as if it was his first day managing this small landscaping project. The final product was a far cry from what I had envisioned and what I had paid for, with many of the plants arriving dead upon delivery and 3x smaller than what I paid for. To add insult to injury, they refused to replace or refund the cost of the dead plants and exchange the wrong plants I received, despite clear evidence of their condition and size. The pricing was exorbitant, and the quality of the plants was abysmal. I paid a premium for larger plants, only to receive tiny, unimpressive specimens. To make matters worse, they even delivered the wrong plant species, demonstrating a complete lack of attention to detail. I cannot stress enough how dissatisfied I am with Ed Castro Landscaping. After multiple attempts to come up with a resolution path I was met with no response having already paid thousands of dollars. I strongly advise anyone considering working with them to reconsider and choose an actually reputable landscaping company. They will inflate the costs, mismanage the project... and good luck getting them to do anything about it. Jim Davis, the "Director of Operations" is clearly not doing his job... hence the negative reviews and poor customer satisfaction. Run away quickly from this company!

Ed Castro has maintained my landscaping for the past 6+ years and has done an outstanding job. The yard always looks great, they maintain the plants and lawn to an exceptionally high level and applications of fertilizer, herbicide, etc. automatically happen when needed. They also have done great work on refurbishing landscape areas that needed refreshing, and the seasonal color beds always are the best on the street. Their pricing is squarely in line with the product they deliver, and in my view is reasonable. Very responsive if you have a special request, like overseeing the irrigation system. Chris D**** deserves special credit for managing the week-to-week work and Mary Shearon has delivered great results when landscape design and plant selection are needed; they both are very hands-on and on-site through execution until the customer is satisfied. I've found the firm to be very reliable and well-run.

Looked at various options with multiple companies. Chris came to me with a plan which was much better thought out than the other companies, we went through a few revisions (he was quite patient and responsive to my requests) and then proceeded. The whole process went forward without any incidents, and was done in a timely manner (less than one week).

I have used this company for several months. I was using another higher-priced company. This company has been responsive and they have brought people by for me to meet, now I know who should be in my yard. They will phone if they are going to be late. I think the cost is reasonable and they do a good job.
