Mister Green Landscaping

.

Installed a patio and fireplace. Patio has dropped due to improper prep. Water collects all over patio causing drainage problems. Drains have fallen. Fireplace was not installed properly. Tried numerous times to reach Arturo. He never came back out. Never answers our calls. He said he is licensed and insured. When I called about his insurance he would not give any inane. I cannot find a license or any insurance on him or his company.

My experience has gone very well. We have used this company for about 2 years now. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable in their field. The pricing is reasonable and I have been pleased with the outcome of their services. I would recommend this company to others.

From day one, everything went wrong. When he first showed up, he arrived at 6:30 PM and worked in the dark until 10 o'clock at night by the light of his phone. I told him I would rather he work during the day. The next day he came about the same time and worked for a little bit, but left as it became too dark. After that, I did not see him again for about 4.5 weeks. He left open trenches and piles of dirt around my yard. When the materials had arrived, they were incorrect. The rocks that came in were not what I requested and I pointed this out to him. He told me I did not request the rocks I wanted and stated it would cost extra. I pointed out the correct rocks were on the original bid and included in the estimate (a total of $10,200.00). The fencing that came in was also incorrect, but his team had already started installing it. When I brought this to his attention, he agreed that it was the wrong fencing and ordered to have it taken down. In doing so, they broke one of the french drains they had just installed. I pointed this out to him and he told me he was aware of it and would fix it. Several days later he returned and replaced the broken drain with a pipe that was incorrect. I stated what he was using would not allow the system to drain, but he tried to assure me the water would just evaporate. I later had another contractor come out to investigate the drainage system, as it was making my yard swampy and infested with mosquitoes. He explained the french drain was and quot;drainingand quot; uphill, and thus not draining at all. I finally told him I did not want him to do anymore work and would not have him install a sprinkler system as my yard had become a swamp. I originally paid him $5,000 down for the job. He agreed with my decision and would refund me that Friday. I never received any communication, nor will he answer any of my attempts to communicate. I have hired a lawyer and will be proceeding with this case. The owner of this business is a very nice guy, so much so, I had referred him to several friends and neighbors before he even began the work. I later found out he never returned any of the requests of these referrals. He may be a nice guy, but he does very, very poor work. After this experience, I have left one completed flower bed that was not finished as I had requested, a failed french drain causing yard dampness, and no fencing around my yard.

We are very happy with the results. They were more than willing to work within our budget and made suggestions that enhanced what we had invisioned. The owner was very friendly and professional. The workers got the job done on time and even helped us with some of the things we were doing in the yard at the same time. We will definately be using them again when we have yard projects that are more than what we can do ourselves.

I think the work has slacked off this year, but I think it's because the company is getting too big. We've worked with him for three years now. He does a really good job for clean up and landscaping. Some of the mowing work isn't that great. Some of the grass is getting up into my flowers and some of my plants have died.
