Ricardo talked to us about what we wanted and made great suggestions. We received a bid promptly. However, we changed on our minds on some things and added a backyard sprinkler system. He came to our house again to go over our changes and quickly gave us another bid. He started the work the next week. We had huge yaupon hollies and a crabapple tree along with large bushes that they removed from our backyard. They then put in large flagstones, created 2 beds, and planted crepe myrtles at the fence line. They put in the sprinkler system and made some minor changes by adding some plants to our front beds. The work was completed in 2 days and they did a marvelous job. The plants are putting on leaves and we are extremely happy with the result. We got bids for this work and Baldi came in with the winning bid. We highly recommend them for any landscaping job that you might have.
Description of Work: They landscaped our patio area and installed a sprinkler system in our backyard.

We met with Ricardo and his assistant and talked about ideas of what would work. Our yard was measured and photographed. It was also noted the plants already in the yard that would stay. A few days later Ricardo presented two very complete estimates with computer drawings and prices of every item. One estimate needed to be tweaked a little to stay in our price range. Work was scheduled the following week. The crew put in two full days to complete the job. Their supervisor was very polite and the workers were quiet in their work. At the end of both days my driveway was cleaned and there were no items left in the front or back yards. My husband and I have a beautiful yard to enjoy after a very pleasant experience working with Baldi Gardens.
Description of Work: We needed the grass removed in the backyard and the area landscaped with new plantings. We had a rough idea of how we wanted our backyard to look and we depended on Ricardo Baldi to put it all together.

I could not be more pleased, from the speedy estimate to the day they showed up to work. The job took all of 4 days and progress was visible every one of those days. The crew was well managed, nice and very knowledgeable about their tasks. The amazing changes in the yard went smoothly and Ricardo was always available via email or on site to answer questions. I had few simply because the communication thruout was exemplary. The estimate was very detailed and each major part was laid out with costs broken down in case we wanted to omit or add on. We came in right on the estimate and we can't say enough about how well things turned out. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: We had a large, and I do mean large, tree removed in our backyard, a french drain in the back yard extending the the front, sprinklers installed in back, an old dog run removed and replaced with a decomp. granite strip with cedar rr tie edging, sod installed in half the yard and a flagstone patio laid off the backdoor over a small existing cement slab patio. **I wanted to give a special mention for Tim in the irrigation dept. He was just here doing a move of one sprinkler head after we manged to build a fence on top of it! Our bad, but he came out handily and moved it and charged us nothing. GREAT JOB!**
The owner hand-picked every stone in the wall, varying the size, shape, and color to add interest. The installers were uniformed and worked very hard, doing most of the excavation by hand to minimize damage. They ensured that everything was put away at the end of the day. When spreading the crushed granite, the crew asked what I wanted to do with some flagstones and aged bricks from my very old attempt at a patio, and I asked them to stack the stones but dispose of the bricks. Instead, they used the old bricks to make a beautiful solid surface for my gas grill, which before had been sitting on dirt. After installation, the crew washed the stone wall, tested the drains, and cleaned up every scrap in the entire yard. It was a joy to watch the progress every single day. We could not be more pleased, and we are already planning the next project with this company.
Description of Work: Moved a retaining wall back approximately 10 feet, removed all excavated soil, stumps, and old landscaping timbers, built a 90' long curved stone wall, installed several french drains exiting to the street, spread decomposed granite over several hundred square feet, removed a 12" leaning tree at the edge of the yard.

Mr. Baldi was able to schedule an visit promptly to give me an estimate.. He discussed my problems with drainage, growing grass and the range of solutions, from easiest & most practical to most costly & extensive. For the relatively small area under consideration, it worked out that easy & practical was best at that time. His crew was able to come out the next week and do the grading, sodding and granite in a few short hours (3 hours?). It looked great; it was neatly done; no muss, no fuss. Since the backyard is in two tiers and most of the work was on the top tier, it was well worth the money for all the trips the crew had to make up and down the steps with the sod and granite.
Description of Work: 50% of my backyard needed resodding and a small area that will not grow anything was to be covered with decomposed granite. The area was graded and leveled; sod was laid; the decomposed granite was spread out; the leftover granite was stored for use later as I requested.
They do a good job and their price is fair. They give me a discount. They are nor the cheapest, nor the most expensive ones either. I am using them again tomorrow.
Description of Work: Baldi Gardens Inc built a retaining wall and lot of other things in August.

Guissepe arrived on time to go over the job, gave me an estimate which was realistic. He was extremely professional, unusually knowledgable, and accomodating. His team arrived early (he called) spent less time than estimated, did a beautiful job, cleaned up impeccably and took their bags with them! I was shocked when I got home from work at how beautiful everything looked. They cleaned pine needles off the roof and gutters, cut dead wood out of trees, and made a cleanup look like a new landscaping job. The final cost was less than the estimate. I have already gotten an estimatefrom them for additional work. I couldn't recommend them any more positively!! I have called probably a dozen companies/individuals from Angie's list over the past year, and Baldi's is the FIRST to actually reply by e-mail as requested. I'm a doctor, and just can't do phone business during the day. He replied by e-mail, and offered to come do the estimate after hours if needed.
Description of Work: I got three estimates for a general cleanup, in a very complex landscape, which would involve a lot of weeding and shaping by hand. Things had gotten pretty overgrown as recent circumstances prevented my keeping up with it personally as I usually do.
Ricardo Baldi responded quickly to our request for an estimate & worked with us to meet our budget. The team members went the extra mile by moving my new grill onto the BBQ pad & adjusting the pad size to ensure that the grill fit properly. The Baldi Gardens team are professional and prompt. The work was completed in 2 days.
Description of Work: BUILD BBQ PAD -- 7' long by 6' wide -- concrete base -- with Oklahoma flagstone and mortar BUILD STONE STEPS -- from back porch and new BBQ pad to existing steps -- with chopped sandstone and Oklahoma flagstone -- with mortar
Baldi Gardens was professional and arrived on-time. The work was performed with high quality and completed in less than two days. Ricardo was very responsive and promptly sent his team to correct an item that was brought to his attention. I will continue to use Baldi Gardens for my landscape work.
Description of Work: INSTALL DRAIN LINE -- from side of house to backyard wall -- connect 3 downspouts to drain outlets in bottom of wall -- approximately 76' long BUILD RAISED BED ALONG BACK WALL OF HOUSE -- with chopped sandstone and mortar -- approximately 30' long -- 3-7 stones high -- fill up bed with composted soil

I had a nightmare experience with a prior contractor and Ricardo Baldi and the Baldi Gardens team came to the rescue! They rebuilt the retaining wall with the existing stone and rerouted it around a huge oak tree without damamging the tree's roots. In addition, a new retaining wall was built which included a stairway made of the extra stone. Two trees were removed as well. The team was prompt and professional and the work was completed in less than a week. Ricardo was always responsive to questions and wanted to ensure that we were satisfied. The work area was thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day.

The project went exceptionally well. Ricardo Baldi responded promptly to the request for an estimate and developed a plan for the backyard and broke it into phases for better execution as well as for cost considerations. We are pleased with the flagstone patio which included a step to transition it to the covered patio that is attached to the house.
Description of Work: Built flagstone patio with Oklahoma flagstone set on a concrete base. The patio is ~176 sq. ft.

ricardo and his team did an excellent job. we've been looking at his company through angie's list for years. we finally decided to move forward with our project. he drew plans for our modern landscape that both of us loved (which is, in itself a small miracle)! then, he & his crew had everything done in two days! they kept the area clean during the installment, and cleaned up afterwards. we love the final product and will definitely use him again!

When Ricardo came to my house for the estimate, I had several questions about my yard, and he answered all of them fully, and let me know which issues I could fix myself and how to do it myself, which I really appreciated. I thought it was a fair estimate, and when the bill came the final price was his estimate. His crew installed everything and cleaned up really well. I've had other yard work done before and these guys did a fantastic job cleaning up. The french drain works great. I still have some standing water that's driving me crazy, but it is a HUGE improvement over the swamp that I did have.
Description of Work: Installed a french drain with three boxes from my back yard to the street. They also took down a fully grown tree.

Very professional. Beautiful plants selected and installed. Flagstone patio spectacular.
Description of Work: New landscape plan was prepared for entire backyard. Flagstone was placed over existing concrete patio. Beds were properly prepared and new plants installed.
He drew a plan for us. Their work seemed a little more formal than what we were looking for. He was always good about getting back to us and came out several times. We have a lot that is full of weeds with lots of rocks. We wanted him to scrape that off and install an irrigation system. The work also included creating a vegetable garden and a flagstone patio. He was very patient with us while we dealt with other things. I liked him very much, but we decided not to go with him. We decided to go with someone else. We went with another company as they had better plans and price.
Description of Work: We contacted Baldi Gardens Inc. to get a quote for landscaping.

The work was professionally done. Work started on the date promised and completed timely. Onsite project supervisor was also the project estimator. He listened to our ideas and provided insight and suggestions that improved the over design we had in mind without exceeding our budget. Property was cleaned at the end of each day and at the end of the project. Although there were material deliveries, the materials were moved to the project area and out of sight of the front of the home. Neighbors hardly knew anyone was working around the home. At the completion of the project the supervisor walked us around for an inspection and made recommendations for landscaping - trees, shrubs and plants that would fit into the landscape based on shading and water requirements. There was no attempt to up sell - just good suggestions based on years of experience. It was a delightful working with Baldi Gardens and I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Flagstone patio installed in lower area of back yard with flagstone steps up to upper patio. Installed rock retaining wall to transition steps to side yard. Installed underground drainage pipe to easement drainage ditch. Leveled existing upper patio.
