We hired La Cholla Landscaping to help design our back yard. I wanted two patio areas, a fire pit and seating area and gravel. They provided a detailed itemized contract so there's no hidden costs. At first we requested a wood burning fire pit and decided to switch to gas. They were accommodating to our last minute requests and handled obtaining the permit from the city and coordinating with the gas company.

Their staff was great to work with and professional. I highly recommend La Cholla to anyone needing landscaping design. Now that our yard is done, I can start decorating! : Thank you Gabe, Julie and Julio for everything.

This company had called me over and over to come in for interview at 630 in the morning which I did, first of all they weren't prompt at all with the interview didn't see anyone until 30 mins later then they tell me they weren't looking for anyone after all when their ad says urgently hiring. Then they say they cancelled all their contracts so they have no work which wouldn't be a surprise to me on how unprofessional they are.

Being in this line of work for over 19 years this is by far the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with. I would not recommend this company for anything I wouldn't work for this company or have this company do any work for you it's by far the worst landscaping company in Tucson. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.This company will only bring disappointment for sure. DONT LET A PRETTY PICTURE FOOL YOU.They talk a big game but trust me all is true with this company do not hire them for anything there not designed to deliver great work go with a more suitable company this one is trash u can even see that there located behind a strip club. And no false assumptions what's so ever came from the horses mouth. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY BAD FOR BUSINESS EXTREMELY BAD

I hired La Cholla to clean up overgrown grassy weeds in our small backyard and put down barrier fabric to keep them coming up through our decorative rock. In the past, we have had guys come in and mow down the weeds and spray poison. It looks bad and the weeds just grow back in a couple months and when I met with the owner I told him that we wanted a better solution.

The price quote we received was high, but it was supposed to include the barrier fabric installation. Not long after we got the quote, they decided they wouldn't do the barrier because "it doesn't work with those types of weeds" and at this point I should have just found someone else to do the work, but they said that they would hula hoe the weeds in our rocks and planters so that there wouldn't be a bunch of ugly stubble. Well, when they finally came to do the work, all they did was mow the weeds and dump a bunch of poison on them.

I complained that none of the ugly weed stubble was removed and weeds were still sticking up all over on the edges and in the planters. They came back and removed a couple more weeds and ran a leaf blower (why?), but nothing was hula hoed and it still looks terrible. I'm not sure why there's such a discrepancy between the service we received and some other folks here. All I know is that we were overcharged for a very mediocre job and wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

For the third or fourth month in a row, I have had to call the office about incomplete work that was written on the estimate more than once. I've had branches they cut in September still laying around the property. And todays visit, they did not trim or blow the leaves, just sprayed weeds.

The team at La Cholla Landscaping was truly a pleasure to work with on installing pavers and turf in my backyard. Julie was great at helping with laying out the plan and selecting the finishes. The crew was very respectful of my property and completed the job efficiently. I would call them again if I want more work done and would definitely recommend them to others.

Asked for a quote for a 10 x 15 piece of artificial turf. Received and email saying they weren't doing any quotes in my zip code at that time. Too busy or job not big enough? Ended up with a company out of Phoenix.

We just finished our 3rd project with La Cholla landscaping & couldn't be more pleased. Everything turned out as planned & on budget. Alfredo was a master with the extensive stone work. The crew showed up each morning as planned & left the project site tidy at the end of each day. Gabe & I spoke often during our 2 week project to ensure that the plan was meeting our vision. I would highly recommend working with Gabe and the entire La Cholla team. Many thanks to Alfredo, Jason, Jairo & Felix.our amazing project team. Lynn in Marana

We've always enjoyed La Cholla Landscaping for irrigation and spring cleaning - low and behold they do hardscape as well! Love our little patio paver fire pit area. A little something to round out our oasis!

Great business! I received 4 different quotes including La Cholla Landscaping. They were prompt, competitive in pricing, and always communicated throughout. I'm glad I chose to go with this company and would recommend to others. My project took around 3 weeks to complete and every step of the way, Gabe and his crew were very meticulous with everything.

If there was something that needed adjusted, they worked to satisfy my requests without any gripes. I look forward to working with them in the future and possibly having them take over my seasonal landscaping needs! Thank you La Cholla!

Working with La Cholla Landscaping was a breeze from the start. I used their services for installing plants, drip irrigation, and laying gravel. They were super thorough, put the plants in, explained how and where they installed the drip lines. The gravel was raked with precision and care. More than that they cleaned up properly and even raked up the gravel in my front yard.

I was informed through out the process with timely communication from Julie and Gabe. I would highly recommend hiring them for a project, get on their books as soon as possible, they book up fast.

La Cholla did a great job removing trees and vegetation from our front yard. The workers who came were extremely polite, fast, and cleaned up after themselves. They even sprayed for weeds which wasn't on the order. Definitely recommend. Services:Tree removal, Yard cleanup

The company did an excellent job extending my patio out into the yard with quality pavers, and adding plants and a tree to an exiting raised planter. The price was a quoted, and the work was completed in the timeframe agreed upon. I would not hesitate to call on them again for work.

They were caring and respectful to keep our dogs in the yard. They showed up everyday promptly, and cleaned up after themselves everyday. Quality paver work. Would recommend and use again.

Not the cheapest but very very good work. We've been a customer since 2015. Workers on site are courteous and hard working. In person estimates for every job. They are attentive and listen well. Seem to be well-managed.

Used these guys for yard care a few times. I can't remember why I chose them. But they are expensive AF and also their customer service is pretty terrible. Two stars since they did good work cleaning up my yard. Goes like this-- used them for a one-time cleanup one time years ago. I do have a big yard and after monsoon season it is weed city.

I had had other people do it before that I don't think were 'landscaping companies' that did the job for about $200/$250. They quoted me $350. I said go ahead and do it since it was more convenient and faster than looking elsewhere. Fast forward a couple years and I reached out to see if they would do regular maintenance every 4 months.

Through a few back and forth emails, the lady responded that they would only do every 2 months, but was pretty snarky about it. But fine. Hired them to come out every two months for $145/visit since that was pretty cheap in comparison to the $350 bill before. Then I get a bill for $475!?!?! Apparently they had sent me two quotes-- one fore the initial clean up and the $145 for following visits, but I didn't see the first one not knowing there were two separate ones.

My jaw dropped. How could it possibly be that f'ing expensive?! I emailed back and asked how it could be that much more than the one time visit before?! They said there was more work to be done, and that's why, but dropped it by $100. Then they did regular visits for awhile and were emailing me my bills. Then I guess they decided to mail my bill instead of email for some reason, which got lost as my address changed a few times (the service was at my rental property whereas I moved to RI to be a travel nurse and my address changed a lot in the last 2 years), so I never got it.

So they sent it to collections and killed my credit score! They had my email address AND my phone number. why couldn't they have contacted me that way before going to collections?! Ridiculous. Also I guess that meant they stopped servicing my property and also never told me. DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM UNLESS YOU LIKE SHITTY CUSTOMER SERVICE.

We had such a great experience with La Cholla Landscaping! We had a few different companies out to our house to give us quotes for our backyard landscaping and La Cholla Landscaping was the best price. Gabe was a pleasure to work with and gave a very detailed and itemized contract. Their personable staff went above and beyond our expectations and we couldn't be happier.

We were quoted 5-7 days for our backyard and the project was completed in 5. I highly recommend La Cholla Landscaping and I will definitely use them again for any future landscaping projects.

Once again if i was able to give zero stars i would. my lemon tree started dropping it's leaves tand look pretty sick. i called arapahoe tree surgeons and i got an education on citrus trees. they never did a soil test. planted the lemon tree to close to the house. the window reflects light which isn't good for the tree. after 4yrs the lemon tree is a wash, it will be removed soon. on to the grapefruit tree. again no soil test done. the tree is also no we'll still it too will be chopped down. if your planning on planting citrus trees fo not ho through a landscaping business. they dont have a clue. have arapahoe tree surgeons or another company that is soley about trees and the health, knowing if the tree will survive in your soil and know exactly where that tree will thrive. thanks again for taking money for a shit job and loosing my trees. shame on you la cholla landscaping especially gabe's team.

Called in to request a quote and was given an appointment within 2 days. All I was looking for was some rocks in the front replaced, some bushes removed, and a possible monthly maintenance contract. The guy arrived on time and listened to what I was looking for so I was excited to have found a company. About 6 hours later I received the estimate which at first glance looked great.

Then I noticed the rocks were missing from the estimate. When I called back to inquire about this and have it added I was rudely spoken to and received quite an attitude. When I asked why she stated she's "sorry" I feel that way. She then told me that she said yesterday over the phone that I had to go to some rock store and pick it out. First, we didn't talk yesterday and second she never said such thing and got angry when I told her this.

Anyway she ended up hanging up on me because I told her all I was trying to do was hire her company but I didn't appreciate be talked to so rudely. I will never use or recommend this company to ANYONE! Clearly customer service is not in their company model and clearly they are so successful that they don't need my business.

Great honest and reasonable. I recently had a water leak at my house which was annoying to find out my water bill was $250. I called to get an estimate with the guy came out on a Monday and then repaired my drip the next Monday with my schedule. The price was very reasonable invoice was great and my job is completed in 30 minutes. I would highly recommend this company

This is a following up to my review 15 days ago. I had paid for weed killer to be sprayed after everything was cleaned up, to help with prevention for weeds again. here we are, 15 days later and I already have weeds popping up in my yard! This is beyond disappointing, wondering how to report being ripped off!? Hmm.

I chose La Cholla Landscaping because of the reviews and unfortunately I should've kept looking! Great price quote for the small area that I needed weeded and trimmed, unfortunately a crew had to be sent out a 2nd time because of have how poorly the job was done the first time. Coming home now after the 2nd time and there's not much improvement. I'll be using my neighbors landscapers in the future!

La Cholla Landscaping was amazing today! The two gentleman that came out to trim our two mesquite trees in the front yard were polite, professional and did a great job! Not only did the trees look manicured but the clean up they did afterward was phenomenal. I appreciate the attention to detail in everything they did as well as the friendless of the two guys. I'm glad we got the trees trimmed before the monsoon hits us. Thanks again La Cholla Landscaping! You guys are the best!

Our experience with La Cholla was 100% positive and we are happy to recommend them to anyone. One of the major things that set them apart from others was their excellent customer service. We worked mainly with Gabe, and he was always very punctual and extremely responsive to e-mails and phone calls. We are finding that this is very rare, and are grateful to have found a landscaper like this.

It is very obvious that customer service is very important to them. We had a lot of questions and made a couple of design changes along the way, and he was always really helpful. Along with the top notch customer service, is the excellent work that they do. We were starting from scratch with our backyard and they made helpful suggestions. The crew that came to do the work were always on time and very respectful.

The artificial turf and pavers look really really great. We had some trees planted and we had a couple questions afterward about the irrigation. Gabe came out himself to explain it and show my husband how to adjust it. The cost was very reasonable and competitive. We look forward to doing more work with La Cholla in the future.

I hired La Cholla Landscaping (LCL) to complete a front and back yard irrigation project. Prior to hiring LCL, I requested estimates from 2 other companies. LCL was the most responsive and was the only company that actually came out and measured my yard with a measuring wheel rather than "eyeballing" it. The final cost matched the estimate despite a minor hiccup with one of the valves which Gabriel fixed personally.

The LCL workers were professional and the owner/supervisor Gabriel came by every day of the 3-day project to check on progress and update me personally. No absentee bosses here. My husband and I are very pleased and impressed with the care the workers took fixing the gravel after the irrigation was installed.

I saw La Cholla Landscaping in my neighborhood and decided to stop by and talk with their estimator. He talked me through my options and gave me a quote on the spot after seeing my property. I then called their office to schedule an appointment and was able to have them out in less than a week. Upon arrival they came to the door to introduce themselves before starting the work.

They worked very hard and did an outstanding job. While I haven't had the best experiences with other places (no returned calls), La Cholla Landscaping was very responsive, efficient, professional, and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, they did the work we discussed. I will definitely be calling them again!

Hired La Cholla Landscaping to do some general yard maintenance, to include trimming three bushes, blowing out debris, and covering bare areas in the back over with existing rock. When I returned home from work the day they came, the only thing done was trimming the bushes. I called and complained and they said they would be out the next day. My kids' babysitter happened to be at our house that day and no one came by, although La Cholla disputes this.

They report that they did come out and complete the work. The attached photos, I believe, prove otherwise. There is significant debris in both the front and back yards and the bare areas are still present. I went ahead and paid the $140 invoice for what turned out to be for the trimming of three bushes. I will be looking for another landscape maintenance company to complete the work La Cholla did not. Do not recommend.

Hired them to do something tree trimming which was fine though took a couple of trips as their power saw stopped working and they were under time pressure to get to another job. No big deal. I then hired La Cholla to plant 10 oleanders in an upper planter that was previously overlaid with river rock. They did this and connected to the drip system but unfortunately were again under pressure to get to another job and left the river rock which had been dug up mixed with dirt and mud.

I communicated with Michelle at the office that I would pay the balance due when the river rock and planter surface were restored to the prior condition. I also suggested that there was no rush but that it was important that the guys have enough time to finish the job when they came back. Michelle emailed back that they would. When the guys came back they restored some of the planter but again said the boss was insisting they move along because they were "over budget" for the work.

The job wasn't really to my satisfaction but I needed to move along too so I called Michelle and made payment plus gave some (polite) feedback on my concerns. She responded that the crew were already over their allotted time for the project and shouldn't be doing these "extras". Of course I voiced my opinion that doing a reasonably neat job was not a extra.

I would not be inclined to use La Cholla again but if you do I suggest carefully negotiating the job details and then keep an eye on the work. Update: just realized that the crew also didn't rebury the poly irrigation tubing, plus a tube is leaking where they made a connection so I'm taking back another star. The job just doesn't look great. Can't recommend.

Service is decent if you can schedule it. This is the 3rd time I've called & been told they'll call me back to schedule service & email me an estimate. A week & a half later I'm waiting. Not worth it. In the past I've called back & they semi-apologize & say they've been busy. The crews are friendly & did a good job, but the person answering phones is rude & disorganized. Went with a new company in the meantime.

I called for a quote last week and then cancelled my request less than an hour later when I found someone to remove my cactus for free. So, 6 days later they not only come to my house but TAKE a cactus from my front yard. (The one I had wanted removed was long gone) I caught the whole episode on my Nest cam. I called the police to report the theft. LaCholla Landscaping sent me an estimate a few hours later and I recognized the phone number from the truck caught in my video.

When I spoke to the owner of the company he said they should never have taken it. ya think! They came and put it back after I called them on it but not the type of company I ever want to hire. Unprofessional doesn't even begin to describe this. I dropped the charges so they wouldn't be charged with criminal trespass cuz the whole incident was insane.

I had to stand out there and show them there were still cactus parts they had missed. I gave them a big tip and then they stole my hose. The owner/manager said he would replace it but he has not done that. Service was over a month ago. They're thieves who don't keep their word.

I reviewed this company on their website but I guess they did not like my feedback since it doesn't appear there. Anyways, hired this company to trim my large mesquite tree back in mid July 2016. Quoted $400 and they did a good job of chopping off excess limbs and branches. However, less than 24 hours later, one of the main limbs fractured. Contacted the company same day and was told they would send somebody out Monday (it was Friday).

After about a week or so, was quoted an additional $100 to remove the fractured limb and asked about leaving the limb as is (since it appears to help the tree balance). Was told they needed to consult their expert and after 24 hours told the fractured limb would die off over time if not removed and that it had rotted out. Feeling like I was being told bogus info to get more money for a job, I consulted friends at Lowe's and a local tree nursery.

After showing them detailed photos, they told me that mesquite trees are hardy and that the limb would not cause any harm to the overall health of the tree but that if I cut it, it would be best to cut near the fracture to promote limb sprouts that would grow the tree upwards. Summary? Hiring La Cholla Landscaping is no better than hiring a skilled individual with a chainsaw.

If you want true tree experts that understand how to promote better growth and maintenance of your foliage, consider hiring one of the many other services listed in a simple google search for your local area.
