What recent reviews say

Most jobs go smoothly. Merced shows up on time for active customers, delivers clean work, and charges fairly. His crew handles everything from tree trimming to full landscape installs and irrigation repair. The catch: reliability breaks down on rental properties and follow-up bookings, with some customers reporting repeated no-shows and weeks of silence. Two significant irrigation installs failed after payment, with one system lacking required backflow prevention and control valves installed incorrectly. A large xeriscaping job left mud-caked rocks and poor weed barrier prep, resulting in weed regrowth and collateral damage.

For homeowners booking residential maintenance with direct contact to Merced, the experience tends toward five stars. For properties needing hands-off management or complex systems (irrigation, multi-phase jobs), the inconsistency surfaces: unfinished work, unresponsive follow-up, and technical issues that cost customers money and time to resolve.

Praised for
  • professional and friendly crew
  • quality work and attention to detail
  • fast and efficient
  • fair pricing
  • same-day emergency response
  • owner Mr. Merced reliable with repeat customers
Watch-outs
  • no-shows and follow-up cancellations on rental properties
  • poor communication and unresponsive after initial contact
  • faulty irrigation installation and system failures
  • incomplete workmanship (mud left on rocks, poor weed barrier prep)
  • property damage (water line, missing green bin, siding marks)
punctualskilled-crewfair-pricingpoor-communicationshowed-up-lateattention-to-detailleft-messquality-plant-selection
Best for: owner-occupied homes needing regular lawn care or tree work with direct Merced contact
Think twice if: you need a complex irrigation install, plan to let rental tenants schedule follow-ups, or expect consistent multi-phase project management

Strengths

  • fast turnaround on emergency sprinkler repairs
  • attentive to existing plants and tree health
  • fair pricing for full-scope landscaping
  • same-day consultation availability

Worth knowing

  • Owner is Merced; crew referred to as 'his team'
  • Same-day response available for emergency sprinkler repairs
  • Crew adds tree-trunk disease treatment after trimming
  • One irrigation install paid in full September, system leaked repeatedly, lacked required backflow prevention device; customer reported Merced unresponsive after October 5 and refused refund
  • One $4,250 xeriscaping job left uncleaned rocks on weed barrier, resulting in weed regrowth; damaged irrigation line caused water runoff into street; green bin went missing during work
  • Rental property customers report 3+ no-shows and weeks of no response after initial visit
  • Positive repeat customers state Merced monitors work progress and returns for touch-ups without pushback
