Really liked working with Ernesto. He replaced the gravel in my small yard for turf. He gave me the best price, got the job done quickly, was kind, and was able to work even with the obstacles my back yard presented. He made these dogs super happy with this upgrade. Give him a call!
Details: Residential • New turf installation • Extra small area (less than 500 sq ft) • Gravel • Dog run turf

A Shoutout to Cortez Landscaping's Exceptional Service
I wanted to take a moment to recommend a landscaping service that has truly impressed me. Cortez Landscaping, led by Ernesto, provided an upfront and fair pricing structure that respected my budget throughout the project. Whenever unexpected issues arose, Ernesto communicated with me promptly to discuss options, never pressuring for additional work.
His professionalism shone through in every interaction, and his crew's respectful demeanor made the entire experience a pleasure. I am thoroughly satisfied with the results and plan to employ their services again. If you're in need of landscaping work, consider giving Cortez Landscaping a call.
Details: Residential • Large area (5,000-10,000 sq ft) • Old grass or weeds • Landscape turf

Ernesto was completely professional and completed the job quickly, plus he did extra work that was needed as the problems caused by the first landscaper I had hired turned out to be significant. He fixed all of the issues that the other landscaper had created and the yard looked fantastic when he had finished. I could not have been more pleased with the final results.

I can not speak highly enough about Ernesto Cortez and Cortez landscaping!!! He is a fair, honest, hardworking gentleman who listed to what I wanted for my yard! He provided suggestions I would not have thought of and made my yard amazingly beautiful and gave me a gorgeous paver patio! I got multiple bids for my large yard and Ernesto was the most upfront about his pricing, he took updates/changes I wanted in stride and again was very straight forward with prices and timing. Cortez landscaping will be my only recommendation for landscaping and will continue to be my only choice for potential updates/ upgrades in the future. Thank you for making it beautiful!
Details: Residential • Medium (1,000 - 5,000 sq ft) • Installed onto existing lawn • Clear old grass or weeds • I need the pro to provide the sod
