R&C landscaping and clean-up

These guys did great! The installed 2500sq ft of river rock in my back yard and it looks amazing! Great service and very friendly.

Happy to finally have grass in my yard. But feel like the job could have gone better. Four stars because the people were all so very nice and willing to accommodate requests. But quality of work didn’t quite make the grade for five stars. Maurice and Jorge are nice to work with in person. Diligent workers. Vanessa (Never met) is also nice and responds promptly to text messages. They had to re-route sprinkler path and install more sprinklers than originally planned, attributing it to low water pressure. (Not their fault). This put them behind schedule for other jobs which resulted in a rushed job at the end. Some sprinkler heads sit too high above grade. (I think because they were rushed.) Newly planted tree is struggling/thirsty, while other areas are drowning. Hose bib they initially used (at our request) was poorly repaired and still leaks. (Did not originally leak.). Flagstone is beautiful - placement is awkward for stepping. Not much in the way of clean-up at the end: left-over sod scraps left on flagstone, weeds on outside of planters not pulled or sprayed, dirt/mud left on a few pieces of flagstone. Again- I believe this is because they were rushed to get to their next job. But still . . .

I requested a quote for grading, new valve and zone with pipe install, and multiple trees removed. The two gentleman that arrived on time were super friendly and took the time to talk to me about what I wanted to learn more about what my needs were. That meant the word to me as they tailored their services to what I really wanted. They went the extra mile to show me about my new system, the new irrigation that was ran, and made sure to use the right drip lines for the new trees I purchased. I didn't even know what I needed, but they did, and made sure it was right before they left. I will absolutely be using R&C again as their professionalism and responsiveness to my needs exceeded my expectations.

They were supposed to come at 9am, but didn't show up until noon. Said they were waiting on the sod to be cut and would be there between 10:30am and 11:00am. They didn't prepare the ground first, just planted the sod. Used a pick to break up the dirt, and hit the main water line which they had to repair when they were adding the additional sprinkler heads. Put in 3 additional sprinkler heads. Two of them were the wrong size. They put in half circles which should have been quarter circles causing the sprinklers to spray my shed instead of part of the sod area they had planted. They turned off functional valves saying I needed to replace all of them in one of the control boxes. They replaced one valve solenoid. This resulted in flooding of my lemon tree and an area of the grass that was not planted in sod. The sprinkler heads kept running and would not turn off. The area where the sod was planted was not getting enough water. I was charged $1125 which I paid them and when I called to let them know there was a problem, and asked them to come out and check their work, I was charged another $65. I didn't trust that they knew what they were doing. I called a landscape professional who came out and replaced the sprinkler heads they had installed, another solenoid, and had him adjust all the sprinklers which are working fine. He accomplished this in 30 minutes which took R & C landscaping and clean up over 2 hours when they came back the second time, and were unable to fix the problem. The landscaping professional only charged me $80. Beware of this company. They would be better suited to stick with their junk removal and cleanup. I definitely did not get what I paid for with this company.

R&C is a great company with many talents. I had them install sod with a irrigation system that came out exceptional. They also laid down decorative gravel to enhance the visual representation of my home to buyers. They came prepared and knew exactly how to put my vision of what I wanted into action. I would definitely recommend R&C. Punctuality and professionalism is definitely important when working with someone. R&C delivered in all aspects
