Manuel comes across very nice, humble, and knowledgeable. I was pleased because, as a REALTOR(R), I am constantly looking for good contractors. However - I did not have a positive experience. Job: full front & rear yards, new sod, mow strips, fix sprinkler issues. At the end of the first week, there were two 'strips' of grass in the back that did not match the rest of the grass..and were turning brown. Manuel came and spread fertilizer on it, saying it would turn green in about a week and that the grass was the same as the rest. Two months later. It never did turn green. Front yard - there is a small section of grass that simply started turning brown right away. Manuel said it was due to bad sprinklers or pipes and also said that he told me at the beginning that the sprinklers/pipes needed to be done. I said that if he knew it needed to be done, and that any new grass would just die quickly, why did he still do the job? Afterall, I'm not the expert - he is. After back & forth discussion on this he said that he would provide me with an add'l quote to come and fix the sprinkler system and put new grass. I don't think that is fair -- he should cover/guarantee his work. He said his quote would be "very fair". HIs quote came in at over $350. Considering he did the first work for several thousand dollars this is not "fair", and as a REALTOR(R) representing the Seller of this property, my client was also upset. I also got another quote from a commercial company on this "fix it" workpiece and it was $140 less. I would not hire nor recommend him.
Duenas Gardening & Landscaping's reply
Edwin thank you for your business and I'm truthfully sorry that things didn't workout but I would like to make couple clarifations with regars to the service provided: - I don't provide any warranty for costmetic repairs. I initially provided you a very clear written estimate and you made the decion to proceed. As the EXPERT and profecionaI I STRONGLY recommended in WRITING to replace ALL sprinklers heads (sprinkler pipes NEVER recommend to be replaced only REPAIR was recommend for PVC pipes) as present sprinkler heads where at the end of their life and stornggly encouraged to have the sprinkler heads replaced as it will better address all lawn issues buy you DECLINE this offer as indicated that present property owner didn't want to spend too much money on the Landscape and to let the new property owners address any additional repairs. - Once the job was completed, a final walk thru was done with you been present (opened irrigations valves one at a time and assure that every sprinkler head was operating properly and coverd all areas where watering was needed). You agreed everything was completed as wished and I came by your office to pick-up final payment. - 2 weeks after completing the job, you called to report lawn had turned yellow and I went out to inspect the issues. The front lawn was turned yellow do to the overheat of the concrete sidewalk (strongly recommended to add more water & as a courtesy NO COST re-programmed irrigation timer) backyard lawn had turned yellow (2 strips) do to general contractor careless of covering the lawn with playwood while doing his work but more careless of your part not thinking this would damage the lawn and incurred more cost to your clients landscape. Also, As courtesy and NO COST I fertilized front and back yard lawn and advice you with in 2-3 weeks the grass will turn green (please avice where do they sale that awesome miracle fertilizer that will turn the lawn green in 1week because it will make my job so much profitable) - 2 moths after you called to report the turning brown issue of the front yard lawn and I went out to inspect. The conclusion provided that caused this issue was do to the end of life of 2 sprinkles heads (disclosed & strongly recommend to be replaced on the very initial contact) and as a courtecy NO COST I replaced the 2 sprincklers heads but you expectations was to replaced the entie damaged lawn area for FREE!!??When I had provide manny courtecy call inspections & repairs at NO COST!!!?? (Overall I'm glad you paid $140 less)

I have known Duenas Landscaping for about nine years. I contacted them from a business card they left in my mail box one day. I tried them on cutting three trees in my backyard and I was totally satisfied and impressed. They cleaned up afterwards and hauled away the debris as agreed. I gave them another job later on in my front yard(re-paving my driveway, changing my car-port supports and landscaping). My neighbors were so impressed they asked me if I would recommend them. I did not hesitate to do. NOw, at least five of my neighbors have used Duenas Landscaping, some on a regular weekly basis. I would NOT hesitate to recommend them for any landscaping projects. They are reliable, trustworthy and clean. Manuel Duenas, the owner, is one good individual and a very honest person. You can call me for reference any time. Ray C. Belmont (591-3063)

I've worked for Manuel for several years now and as a result, I have an absolutely beautiful front and side yard. I've received more compliments than I can count. Before staring my project, I obtained several estimates and checked referrals. Manuel's knowledge and reasonable pricing convinced me to go with his Company. Yes, I could have gone with a lower bidder but the results would be run of the mill and no where near as beautiful. Feel free to drive by and take a look. 2607 Prindle Rd., Belmont
