We currently have some guys do our landscaping every other week. We don't have a very big yard in front or back and pay $40 each time they come. We kind of inherited these guys, the people who used to do it sold the business to the people who do it now. They do an ok job but they don't speak, read or understand a stitch of english and it's VERY hard to communicate to them. I'm a little particular in that I don't like the bushes trimmed each time they come out, I like them to grow enough so they get flowers, I like to have a rake run through the rocks at least once a month, etc. I live in Gilbert, AZ, does anyone have a good landscaper they would recommend who speaks english and has reasonable rates?
If you have local access to Angie's List, I'd recommend them. They're based here in Indianapolis, but I know they've gone nationally in certain markets.
We honestly don't hire anyone without checking Angie's List now, and we've hired some smaller name companies because of their recommendations with tremendously great results.
You have to pay for the service, but the coupons more than make up for it (along with getting competent service professionals).
Good luck!
I'm an insurance agent in Gilbert and send all my clients to my landscaper. He speaks decent english and can understand what you tell him, even on the phone. I think $40 per visit is resonable, but only if they do a great job. The neighbor across the street from my mom who uses him is very picky and she just won the 'best yard' in their community! Anyway, here is his contact info: Moises Hernandez 480-495-4108 cell. Tell him Faith, the insurance agent sent you. Let mek now if you need help with anything else...I know local business owners in Gilbert! Good luck!
We have been using our landscaper for years, his name is Jesus and his number is 602-732-0255. He speaks extremely well, there will be no language barrier whatsoever, and he is a really nice guy. We pay around the same as well. Tell him Darrin and Jenna referred you if he asks. (he doesn't advertise, all of his clients are by referrals so he might wonder how you found him).
I have a fabulous guy. His name is Salvadore Ordaz and his number is
602-380-7309. He is a bit more expensive, but very worth it, and very reliable. Tell him that Dawn referred him.
