Comments: I hired DC Gardening service to replace my front lawn with drought tolerant landscaping. They did a really nice job and finished on schedule. There was an issue with one of the drip irrigation lines a few weeks later but they fixed it a couple days after I contacted them. I plan to hire them again for a future project.

Work Description: Landscaping

Comments: We had about 220 square feet of dirt, a badly graded slope and old grass and in 3 weeks he turned it into a magnificent thick and lush green carpet with a gentle slope. He leaves nothing to chance and insists that the sprinkler system works to the best advantage and makes it happen. He comes after the first week to check on the growth and watering and after the second week to check everything and also adjust the time on the sprinklers. He is thorough and professional. I highly recommend him.

Work Description: Landscaping

Comments: I have been using the same gardener for several years now but no matter how many times I urged him to improve the quality of my front and backyard, or how much money I gave him, he consistently failed to do much besides planting a few flowers and mowing the grass. I had poor water flow from my sprinklers, grass that looked more like weeds than anything, and the flowers kept dying within just a few weeks after being planted. I finally decided to take the appearance of my home more seriously and searched on Yelp for a reliable professional to redo my irrigation and landscaping. I had 5 people show up at my door to give me an estimate and I interviewed them meticulously. I knew I found the right person for the job just based upon Daniel's professionalism during our first encounter. He was the only person who brought stationary to write notes, create a blueprint of what was to be done, and provide an accurate estimate for everything that was going to take place. No other landscaper came with even a pen, and just blurted out numbers off the top of their heads while briefly telling me what they were going to do. But I was glad when I finally met Daniel, and hired his services for weekly maintenance as well as redoing all of my irrigation and landscaping.

The next week, Daniel and his crew came in and started to work on the job with much enthusiasm. They were all affable and very respectful at all times. They redid all the pipes starting from the main water line and neatly installed new pipes alongside my house. Daniel was always available to answer any of my questions and gave me a comprehensive update at the end of each work day. I was amazed to see how my property was gradually looking more like a newly built home just by the changes in the front and backyard. He picked the most beautiful plants and flowers, and the grass looked like the type you see out on a golf course. I'm sure that my property value increased just by having Daniel work his magic. I was very pleased with the end result and paid a very competitive price for everything. Daniel's crew has been coming by every week to do the maintenance, and they leave my home looking as neat as it did when the job was initially complete.

By the way, I ran into raccoon problems a week after the new grass had been laid out. They kept rolling the grass up to pick at the worms, which ultimately lead to that part of my grass dying. I took care of the raccoon issue with a trapper and once Daniel saw the parts of the grass that were dead, he told me that his job wasn't to just perform services that were paid, but was to make me a happy client. He brought over new grass and redid the parts that were ruined by the raccoons for free! It's very rare to see such professionalism within the landscaping business. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone who is looking to make their home into a much more beautiful place to live.

Comments: I recently hired Daniel after reading reviews on Yelp, and I echo what another reviewer stated. "FINALLY A REAL gardener and not a mow and blow!" He returned my call immediately and met with me the next day. A week later (work completed 10/21/15), Daniel and his crew planted California Drought tolerant plants in an array of colors in our front yard, removed a small dead tree, recommended that I keep my daisies, removed them from the front and replanted them in our side yard. His prices are fair. He and his crew are efficient, professional, punctual and most of all he DOES NOT TRY TO SELL YOU GOODS/SERVICES THAT ARE NOT NEEDED. He does the opposite - HE POINTS OUT WAYS TO SAVE MONEY. Daniel capped off sprinklers that were not necessary, installed bubble lines to make sure new plants get proper amount of water, and decreased watering time on our sprinkler system. I also hired him to take care of weekly maintenance, and his crew was able to begin that process as well - trimming back tall hedges and a tree in backyard. Although he cost's more than our previous gardner $45 more per mo., It's worth it based on service he is providing. Again, it's not a mow and blow service, and the much needed curb appeal is worth it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Comments: I found Daniel through my listing agent. Daniel and his crew are accommodating, friendly and my landscaping has never looked better. I wish I had found him when I first moved to Los Angeles. He completely repaired damage done by past (uneducated and detrimental) landscapers. I get compliments all the time from friends and neighbors. Daniel and his crew where on time (always) and they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and that my property looked beautiful. He is truly an artist and incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. Additionally, all his care, work and maintenance are reasonably priced. If you are looking for a landscaping and gardening company with a strong work ethic, friendly and reliable services, and beautiful delivery that goes above and beyond, Daniel and DC Gardening is the team you should hire.

Work Description: Tree Removal

Comments: Years later we could not be happier! This review is on the Tree Service Daniel recently provided. We had a pair of trees, one of which was falling in the backyard we desperately wanted to save that was about to fall, so we called Daniel and as usual he came personally with his tree guys who specialize in bracing tress and trimming. They were able to trim and alleviate the weight dragging down each tree and brace them together and they are flourishing! They also trimmed our front tree and did an amazing and beautiful job of every year. Our neighbors always compliment. Their attention to detail is incredible and it's like they were never there - never scratch our stucco by dragging tree branches, and cleaned our roof and gutters as well as our next door neighbors roof. Can't ask for more. Thank you!
