ORTIZ LANDSCAPING SERVICES

Description of Work: I wanted a quote on redoing my front yard landscape.

Description of Work: Mr. Ortiz is a very busy man..but that's because he is so good! We had a little trouble getting in touch with him for a day or so but once we did all was fine. He laid 8 pallets of grass, and installed a rock drain all in 2 days. When the job needed to be done he was out working, doing it himself. Worked from dawn til dark. I would highly recommend his service. Very honest and respectful. We will definitely use his service again when we install our sprinkler system! A+++!!

Description of Work: Ortiz Landscaping could not accommodate our schedule but recommend Jesus who came on a Saturday and gave me a fair quote and was willing to come the next AM. He did a great job. Jesus trimmed shrubs and cleared weeds in beds near house. He did a great job shaping and clearing. up.

Description of Work: Remove and dispose of concrete patio, install paver patio with edge wall consisting of large paver blocks set in mortar and connected together with mortar - like bricks only pavers. Also removed sod around the outer edge of the new patio, tilled the soil, and covered with 3-1/2 of compost.

Description of Work: Mr Ortiz removed a dead tree, put in sod and mulch, built a stone edge around the flower beds, cleared the back yard of all weeds and underbrush, trimmed all bushes, and some general landscaping.

Description of Work: Felipe Ortiz originally rebuilt the retaing wall over the stream that crosses under our driveway. The other side of the driveway began to give way so we call Felipe back and he did a great job on that side. THe materials used were first quality and well construccted. We referred him to my sister to relandscape the front lawn and she was very pleased as well. Additionally herebuilt the driveay of our next door neighbors.

Description of Work: Felipe Ortiz gave us an estimate on redoing our front lawn -- tilling, grading, and reseeding.

Description of Work: They did a lot of landscaping for me. They leveled my back yard and they filled it and put in mulch and then completely pulled out all the plantings on one side of my front yard and replanted with new shrubs.

Description of Work: No work done due to failure of Ortiz to keep his word and to communicate with me.

Description of Work: Felipe looked over the back yard and took measurements to determine how many pallets of sod I would need. He advised that I needed to have the back yard tilled to get some good soil to the top, and then he put down top soil and laid the sod so it would have something to adhere to.

Description of Work: Mr Ortiz removed our existing RailRoad tie retaing walls,and replaced them with precast stone faced block walls

Description of Work: I had to take down a number of pine trees in my backyard due to pine beatle infestation and there were a couple of trees extending over my pool which increased pool maintenance and reduced sunlight.

Description of Work: While the contractor was quick to respond to my call and was able to get to the work quickly, his prices were outrageous!!! There were a good many leaves but the original quote was $500 just to rake, really? I was in a bind so tried to talk him down but he still charged $400 to rake a small yard, he did not even collect the debris and haul it away. He basically blew the leaves back in the wooded area behind my home. He charged $150 to clean the gutters which is probably avearage and he did a good job there, He wanted $250 to pressure wash a small home that was not that dirty. I declined that offer. I admit there were a good many leaves but it is not my fault he did not have the equipment to handle the job efficiently. He only had one other employee and they did work most of the day but still took home about $80/hour so I believe they were well compensated for their efforts. I think there is an obvious reason why he was so readily available. I am also disappointed in Angie's List because I actually had to pay to get this guys contact info. .

Description of Work: I recently decided to move to Denver, so ahead of selling my house, I knew I'd have to spend some major bucks to get my back yard in order. The major problem was a big sink hole that had increased in size over the years - "are you putting in a pool?" was a question I heard more than a few times! I also had two pig pines I needed removed; one was dead and the other needed to come down because it was too close to the sink hole. I had previously removed a few pine trees, so between dog wear and tear on what was the once grassy area and the lack of pine straw to add a ground cover over the natural area every fall, my yard had become a muddy mess. In late 2010 I had a river rock terrace installed around my back porch to cover and contain the muddiest areas and to add something else for the dogs to wipe their muddy paws on when it's wet outside. On Wednesday, December 21, I contacted Ortiz and one other landscaping company who like Ortiz had received glowing reviews on AL. I sent both companies a .pdf I had created with some pictures and a narrative description about what I needed done. Ortiz came out on Monday, December 26 to take a look and provided a written quote right then: remove two existing pines and small trees; regrade back yard; back fill settled area; compactation of settled area; top soil new level area; seed and straw to grow fescue; prune all trees. I haggled with him a bit and settled on $4,500 right then. I really liked this guy and was ready to get this done (the other company inexplicably couldn't get to my house until Monday, January 9 just to give me an estimate).

Description of Work: We had our VERY overgrown yard totally cleaned up, trimmed all shrubs, removed small trees, laid pine straw and treated for weeds.

Description of Work: He came out to give us an estimate on having our back yard sodded.

Description of Work: I left two voicemail messages requesting that someone call to arrange to come to my house, look at my needs and give me a proposal for landscape maintenance as well as some major landscape projects including driveway, retaining walls and fencing. No return call. No e-mail. Nothing.

Description of Work: Mr. Ortiz and his crew completely remodeled our backyard. They leveled the ground, built a beautiful retaining wall with two sets of recessed stairways, installed proper drainage, put in several paver walkways, built a paver patio and put in new grass.

Description of Work: I called Mr. Ortiz to get an estimate to get a new walkway and sod installed. Mr. Ortiz told me to email him and I did. He did not respond to my request for a time for us to get together and talk about my project. I understand people are busy but a response would have been appreciated.

Description of Work: My front lawn had depressed areas, dead tree roots and balding spots. Remnant tree roots were removed and lawn was leveled with top soil and bermuda sod was installed. Eroded side areas were also leveled and sod installed. Eroded back areas were sodded with emerald zyosia. An additional sprinkler head was extended from an existing line. Mongo grass was planted and mulched with pine straw. Landscape timbers were replaced to arrest a sloping, eroding area. Concrete s*** was cut away to make a safe step from patio surface to the new zoysia turf. Low hanging tree limbs were pruned to allow more sunlight and irrigation on the new sod. All sodded areas were prepared with approximately four inches of top soil. All sodded areas were watered and rolled.

Description of Work: Ortiz Landscaping owned by Felipe Ortiz did a couple of projects. 1) Remove 15 yr old retaining wall made of railroad ties and replaced with pressure treated wood. The new wall is beautiful and the crew did a fabulous job with cleanup. 2) Drainage problems on side yard - The crew removed a huge tree stump and brought in dirt and rocks and created a dry creek with additional landscaping and stepping stones. It works beautifully and have received several compliments. 3) Water under the deck - The fix was to take the drainage pipes and combine a couple of them and run them underground for about 15 feet. This removes all water from under the deck. They also fixed the front side-yard that needed sod and it is growing beautifully and looks fabulous. Felipe and crew were very prompt, polite, and experienced in this area and offered recommendations to my problems. The price was fair and I will use them again.

Description of Work: Ortiz Landscaping cleaned up the overgrown area behing my home, replaced grass, and reworked all the shrubs around my house.

Description of Work: Answered the phone on the 5th ring the first time I called.

Description of Work: We had our backyard leveled and retaining wall built to hold the soil. The large equipment needed for this project required a portion of fence to be removed, as well as stepping stones and a brick walkway. A 3ft x 50ft wall was built with landscape timbers. The timbers for the wall were leveled, nailed, braced and all but the top board was covered in soil. Approximately 3 dump trucks of soil was brought in and spread. The soil was packed down to prevent any wash and was designed so water drained to the back of the property. Grass seed was spread and straw was put down. Walkway and stepping stones were replaced. A fence company installed a new fence. Flower beds and islands were mulched with approximately 8 yards of hardwood mulch. A portion of the back yard was a wild area and 15 bales of pine straw were used to cover this area.

Description of Work: Had 9-10 loads of dirt hauled in and backyard graded (it was very steep and uneven). Ortiz did a lot of brush clean up as well during the prep stage. They also installed a stone retaining wall and installed 5 zones of irrigation. Lastly, they removed a few trees and transplanted several shrubs.
