(Tried to post before; think I messed up, this is my 2nd try.) Woulda picked all the above if I could. Elmer & crew are GREAT! First we called for a demo job (they removed an old wall in a day), then a new fence, next, pavers on the patio; probably a new roof and stucco-ing the house in the very near future. Prices are exceptional, and Elmer is SO top of things; responsive, kind, easy to talk to. Just can't say enough about this good man and his crew. EXCELLENT WORK, PRICES, VALUE!

Details: Home • Install a new fence or gate • Wood • 51 - 100 feet • 6 feet • No fence obstacles exist in the work area

J&R landscaping showed up promptly on schedule to cut down a dead palm tree. They also agreed to trim two additional palm trees on the spot for a reasonable fee. They used safety precautions and minded the surrounding landscaping. After the tree work was done, they did a thorough clean up of the area, including the duff that blew onto the roof. Fantastic work!

Details: Home • Cut down trees • 1 tree • More than 40 feet

Elmer was very responsive and has a good knowledge of CA native plants and my design for drought tolerant planting. His crew was efficient and capable. I will continue to use his services and I highly recommend.

J & R was prompt in responding to my request. Their bid was very reasonable. Unfortunately, outside circumstances arose leading me to go in a different direction.
