Del Mar Landscaping

Adam is awesome! His quote was a lot cheaper than 2 others for the same job. My large backyard was complete dirt other than 3 large palms. I had a large area of grass put in, lots of plants and trees. He elevated the back area around two of the older palms. Looks phenomenal, I couldn't be happier. Oh, the job was also completed earlier than was originally stated, his crew was great.

They did a great job. I use them every month.

The price is reasonable. They do a great job. The fellows who do the work are so pleasant and friendly, so helpful. It is just a great crew of men.

The end result is that my yard looks very nice and it looks like what I hoped it would look like. However, the process of having my yard put in was not as smooth as I had hoped for. There was confusion about what I had asked for, and how long the job would take. Only one person worked on my yard. It was not a crew, it was just one person so it took him several days by himself.

Service is reliable, gardeners are very nice and willing to do extra when asked.

They are the best.  They take care of the weekly mowing (front and back yard), trimming bushes and trees.  Their work is wonderful - my yard always looks great.  Also, when there have been problems (i.e leaks), they have called immediately to see what I would like to do.

Really well- Adam has one guy who does basically everything and works harder than anyone else I've ever met. He shows up early in the morning, works all day, leaves at night. Usually gets the yard done within two to three days. He's done several yards for my family and I and we always call him for small jobs.

The first year, they did a great job. The owner, Adam would periodically check my yard to make sure that it was being properly maintained. His crew had been instructed to report to him about anything that needed fixing or replacing. I would come home from a trip to find my yard in tip top shape. Also, I had no problems with the HOA regarding my yard. The following year, the service level began to slide and I would come home to find things that had not been attended to. I regularly e-mailed Adam to let him know what things needed attention. Most of the time, the issue was taken care of. But as time went on, I found myself sending more and more e-mails including reminders about issues that needed attention. I also received HOA notifications about yard problems. It became obvious to me that Del Mar either had too many customers, or had lost their enthusiasm to maintain my yard as agreed. I had their monthly payment on auto pay with the bank, so they got a check every month like clockwork. Many of those months I was not even home to evaluate their performance for that month. So payment to them was not a factor. Finally, on Jan 2, 2012 or thereabouts, I e-mailed Adam and explained that our relationship was not working out and severed his service. For his information, I included in that e-mail a number of incidents that occurred. As to their landscaping skills, I must say when I wanted to change out plants, trees, bushes etc, Del Mar did a very nice job on the landscaping side. But that work was a separate charge for plants and labor. I was very satisfied with their work in that regard. It is their monthly service that wasn't adequate for my purposes. So I have now joined Angie's list in an attempt to find a landscaper/maintenance company that better suits my needs.

Very well. Really good work.

We are very satisfied with the weekly service they perform for us.

Work crew arrived on time and expertly performed each task. They were very conscientious about their work, ensuring that dust would not enter the house, cleaned up the yard very well, and did an excellent job of trimming trees and shrubs.

Everything was really easy. They came out and looked at everything and gave me an estimate. The only problem I had with them was that I asked them to trim up my other big tree in the front lawn and I don't know if they just didn't do it or they just forgot about it. When I called him back he said that was extra and he sent someone out to trim up the tree.

Adam is the name of the owner. He is very knowledgeable and very nice. They carry out service twice a month. I pay them monthly. The person who comes out is very nice and very helpful. If we ask him to do anything extra he would do it. He keeps everything mowed, picked up, and trimmed. He also fixes sprinklers. He is very good. We can expect regular good service from Del Mar Landscaping.

I called on a holiday and they still answered the phone. Reconfirmed my appointment. Sent an invoice in the mail. I did not have to be home for them to do the work.....WONDERFUL!

I'm very happy with them, they keep doing a good job. They are dependable, they've always done a good job and they owner, Adam, is quick to respond to your needs when you call them with an issue. He shows up that day and will have someone out the next day to fix it once he assesses the problem. I have always been very satisfied with his service. They are by no means the cheapest, they are slightly above what other people are charging, but well worth the difference based on experiences I've had with other companies. You get what you pay for. I've never had any problem getting them out here when I've needed them.

Just as explained and expected. prompt, professional.

His guys come out and they are very efficient and nice. In general they do a nice job of keeping our yard looking good. We have been using them for 4 1/2 years. They did our original landscaping when we moved in because there was no front or back yard. They are very honest and dependable.

The work they did was fine, and the owner (Adam, I think his name was) was very responsive to problems that arose with our irrigation system, our questions on plant care, and replacing a few that didn't make it through a particularly cold winter. His fees did increase from about $70 to $90 per month, but we were able to negotiate that down to $80/month. We stopped using him when we moved from the area in 2009.

I normally spend $140 a month on them. They mow the lawn, trim and do the clean-up. They even take care of the sprinkler system. They are very good and responsive. I have no issues with them. If I have any issues in between their visits, I can call the owner and I am assured of an immediate response. I am pleased with their price. They usually come out early to do the work. I’ll continue to use their services in the future.

The price is for the month.

Initial inquiry on getting quote should have signaled trouble, he said he would visit the site and give estimate. 5 days later, I have to call him for estimate and he got mixed up and hadn't visited site, yet then ran right over to visit site and called with estimate and effort , but never refilled dirt back into trench (over 2 weeks), thus never re-seeded. I had to refill trench (again took only 2 minutes), because the renter was furious at me and Del Mar for not taking care of trench and they just had an outdoor event the day before. They are scheduled to visit every Thursday, in late morning (11:00 AM) but today arrived 3:00 PM, and is slow at returning calls Summary, simple, weekly lawn work they seem good, but deviate from normal lawn work (i.e. special instructions) they fail to perform.

I am in the process of switching yard care companies. Del Mar does good work but they are rather expensive. I felt like I was paying for very little work. My yard is not that big. Overall, I would say that they are good, but expensive. I will continue to use them until I find someone with a lower price for their services.
