Campos Landscaping

Jose just completed my yard and it looks absolutely amazing! We just bought a new home and had only dirt in the backyard. Jose took my idea made it come to life. The guys were punctual, courteous and very good at their job. I would recommend Campos and their guys to anyone looking to upgrade

We have a brand new backyard thanks to Campos Landscaping. Where do I start? Jose and his crew are reliable. They are patient (We kept changing our minds, so the project was one big moving target). Very competitive pricing. At no point did I feel they cut corners. In fact, they went above what we asked for. Jose has a strong sense of design. He offers ideas that aren’t tacky. Last but not least (and most importantly) they take pride in their work. Looking forward to our next landscaping project with Campos Landscaping.

Campos Landscaping just completed my boyfriend and my back yard from dirt to pavers/​turf and space for planters. They were professional, courteous and fairly priced.

Campos landscaping created a beautiful backyard for us that really fit our style and ideas. Jose, the site manager, and his crew were always polite and professional. They worked hard and any problems or questions I had, Jose, took care of it, even after the job was done. My family and I spend every morning enjoying our breakfast out back.

They did a great job enhancing our hard-​scaped backyard area that had started to become overgrown. They were timely in monthly maintenance of the property, easy to work with and very reasonably priced! Had we not relocated out of CA, we’d still be using them. Highly recommend them to anyone in the South Bay!

We began using Campos Landscaping after the gardner we had for several years decided to call it quits. We interviewed several landscaping companies, but we were most impressed with Jose’s knowledge of our plants and his recommended approach to return our yard to its former glory. He has been maintaining our yard for over a year now and it has never looked better. He also adjusted our watering so we are using less water and our lawn looks better. He frequently checks with us to ensure we are still happy with the service and if we have areas that we would like be handled differently, he always makes sure the changes are made. We were so happy with Campos Landscaping, that we recommended them to several friends that are now using them too.

We moved to Long Beach a few months ago and were looking for a great company to provide both landscaping and monthly gardening services. We reached out to a few different companies and pricing across the board was pretty competitive. We spoke to Jose at Campos and were extremely impressed with his knowledge and his customer service. His quote for some landscaping work was actually higher than other quotes we had received but given his expertise and his knowledge we were very comfortable paying that. In addition José has also shown us great ideas as it relates to ways we can improve our landscaping which has also been very appreciated. Since taking on the landscaping work and the routine gardening we have been extremely happy with their work and would highly recommend them to anyone else.

When I met with Jose, I had high hopes for our working relationship. Before long, however, it became clear that regular maintenance is not the company’s strong point. We have a large yard. The crew habitually spent between 15 – 20 minutes on a job that takes a hour to do properly. When I called them on it, they lied and said they were here longer (I literally would sit upstairs with a stop watch and time them). Bushes were not trimmed, citrus was allowed to develop a fungus that nearly killed all of it and they did not clean up under growth or leaves… they would blow it into a corner and leave it quite frequently. When I asked that they spend more time on the yard because we were not getting the benefit of the bargain we entered into, I was told they would, but they didn’t (and no discount offered for the shoddy work from before). It sounds like they do a great job at doing actual contracting and our actual landscape contractor said that it appeared they knew what they were doing. I just don’t think they want to devote the time necessary to properly maintain yards and that’s a shame.

I had a genuinely pleasant experience with Campos. My new home is in a brand new development, and so my backyard was essentially a pile of dirt that I had 6 months to fix. I saw that most people in the neighborhood were using Campos, and this made me confident in hiring them. My confidence was buttressed after receiving estimates from other contractors who were quoting me more money. In hindsight, I’m glad I went with Campos.
Campos is a family businesses through and through, and Jose’s parents accompanied him and his workers during the job. Everyone was polite, which I appreciate, and I am very happy with the result and the price. At one point they noticed a section of the flooring was uneven, and they fixed it without hesitation. I would gladly hire them again.

I was in the market to find a new landscape maintenance contractor to work on a few rental properties. After not being able to find one that was licensed by the State of California, I turned to Unilocal. I found several; however, I only found one that had their C-​27 license up to date which is 994 532 which belonged to Campos Landscaping based out of Carson. I called and spoke to Jose (the owner’s son) who met me the next day at the properties.
I showed him what I need to have done on the properties, and asked him if his company could handle it. His response was YES. We verbally agreed with a handshake and to start the second week of February. With that, I asked him to email me a proposal/​contract with a cost to maintain the two separate properties. Jose was prompt when he sent over the proposals.
However, after receiving the proposals via email, I contacted Jose to ask him where the contract was at, in which he stated, «please send any form to the cc email above, my sisters email she handles all our paperwork.» I never got a contract, so I asked Jose if he wanted me to send one when he told me they «did not have time to send me a contract.» He told me to just send one. I drafted up a contract (a boilerplate contract I received from a different landscaper that I bid at the same time I bid Campos) and sent it both to the email addresses.
After about a week, I got an email from Campos Landscaping stating, «Unfortunately, after further review we are unable to move forward with both of your service requests and written proposals. Due to the request and/​or demands of the proposal that go against our safety policies.
The item that Campos Landscaping was referring to was trimming trees. There were two on one of the properties that were eight feet high. It seems that Campos Landscaping doesn’t trim anything over six feet high. Anything over 6 feet of any type of trimming is not considered regular maintenance as it is considered additional service they stated. Seems kind of funny that they state that because another Unilocal-​ER stated that Campos Landscaping «trimmed his very large tree.» I was willing to have them remove the part of the contract, but Campos Landscaping refused, which is their prerogative.
Reflecting back, I think that the warning signs were ALL over the email. Campos Landscaping never provided me with a copy of their maintenance contract, nor their W-​9 and liability insurance which I requested. I have since checked the CSLB website and it doesn’t appear they have provided the State with any proof of worker’s compensation insurance. It seems that they did not like the contract that I put together, however, all I did was take their initial email and place it into a Scope of Work contract between the two parties. They are the ones that came up with the terms, I just legally expanded them. I have over 20 years of reviewing construction contracts, and the contract was meant to protect both parties-​and was given to me by a landscaper. CONSUMER be aware, before you hire this contractor.

I contracted Campos Landscaping for a complete backyard hardscape /​landscape design. Jose followed through with the design that I envisioned to the «T» Jose and his crew did a great job. It took them just three days of hard labor and the final outcome was beyond my expectations. See my before and after pictures. Campos Lanscaping, your team ROCKS!!! We now have a beautiful outdoor space we will enjoy for many years.

After contacting several services to get work done on our dirt-​based backyard we came across Campos Landscaping. It is a family-​owned business that is quite popular around our community yet they were still very accommodating to their services and did not hesitate to offer an estimate that was done instantly. The business is bilingual (Spanish & English) however if English is preferred it is usually turned to the son, Jose Campos. In our experience he gave us very accurate pricing and provided suggestions on whether or not our ideas would work. His final design came as close to what we envisioned with the price range that we set and overall we were very satisfied. The community that we live in is under a strict proposal-​approval process that really prolonged the work to be completed, however with Campos Landscaping they provided a very detailed and descriptive plot plan that abided with every restrictions that the process required. Campos Landscaping was very professional with their work and in addition Jose Campos does a great job tending to any calls made to his personal number that he provided. I will definitely recommend their services to families and friends and will return to them for any other future yard work needs.

Very satisfied with all the work I have had done by Campos. They installed my sprinkler system and did all my landscaping (about 8 planters worth of succulents and a couple of citrus trees). We met twice before any work was completed to discuss design and vision. They were able to complete the work in an extremely timely and efficient manner. We are very happy with the results.

Had them trim a lush garden of about 150 plants. The crew was polite, knowledgable about the plants in my yard, and worked quickly. Plants look great and appear healthy. In addition, they installed a new sprinkler control box. Works great, looks great, good job.

I called Jose with Campos Landscaping back on 10/​28/​2014 to come look at my yard which he did and then. told me he would only cut the yard and leave the grass on the yard for $ 150 which I agreed. Today 11÷4÷2014 he was spouse to come at 1:30 I called to make sure that he was coming to my house to do the work he told me was backed up because of the rain over the weekend and he would come on Saturday I said no I was busy that day and he say he WOULD come today 11÷4÷2014 around 4 or 5 pm instead of the original time of 1:30 pm. He then calls me and says he cant make it and can make it tomorrow. Do not call this company for any kind of service. he does not keep his word!!!

I used campos last year to maintain a home we were flipping in Long Beach. I thought they did a good job, were very responsive and I would use them again.

I am updating my review and I am as legit as it gets! Unilocal cannot possibly filter another FIVE STAR REVIEW against Campos Landscaping! There is a total of NINETEEN, FIVE STAR REVIEWS that have been filtered by Unilocal.I have read the guidelines, procedures, policies, etc., and I DO NOT see how any of the NINETEEN, FIVE STAR REVIEWS meet the criteria?
Campos Landscaping obviously has a fan base, and that needs to be read/​heard by others! The only positive review that remains standing is MINE! Campos Landscaping has only received a total of three poorly written reviews, from people that clearly DO NOT detail the entire facts, and demand cheap labor. Although they are low rating reviews, it is still obvious that Campos Landscaping goes the extra mile for their customers… yet few cannot be pleased. I do not understand why someone that writes a review against an establishment, because they did not receive a call back; can remain on here? Obviously, some people cannot deal with that, and view it as a form of rejection.
Anyhow, I hope that someday soon… Campos Landscaping will receive the proper respect and commendation that they deserve for their hard earned work. I would certainly like to see these people that are «knit picking» perform the difficult labor that these men do for a living. Anyone can work at an office, but not just anyone can do and put up with what these professional men do!
I HOPE THE POSITIVE REVIEWS RETURN!

We have been using Campos Landscaping since 2009. They have always met and exceeded our expectations. Not only have they provided us with inexpensive expert weekly yard maintenance throughout the years, they have transformed our landscape into something personal and beautiful.
Living in Long Beach we were informed that the city had a program to reimburse homeowners to change their landscape from lawn to California native, drought tolerant gardens. I called Jose Campos and asked him if he would be interested in creating us this new design. Being on a budget (we have 2 new babies at home sucking up all our extra funds) I didn’t give him much $$ to be able to work with, only what Long Beach would pay. After a couple of weeks of planning and obtaining approval from the city, Jose somehow in only 2 days delivered us an incredible work of art that looks as if it would have cost us a fortune. More than what I had hoped for. I was so pleased! Unfortunately the work was completed the week prior to that major heat wave we had. Some of the plants that were placed didn’t make it. What a shame, too bad for us right… NO, WRONG! Not only did Campos come to remove the plants that died, they at not cost to me replaced those plants. Does it get any better than that??? Well guess what, it did. After the project in the front was completed they informed me that they were going to discount my weekly service fee, as my front yard does not require as much maintenance (no mowing or hedge trimming) as it did before. I couldn’t believe it!
These aren’t just you average gardeners that mow the grass each week. They mow, weed, rake, seed, fertilize, prune and tend to all your plants, flowers and sprinklers ensuring your yard is the best looking one on the block at no extra cost. We use them annually to trim our large avocado tree that the neighbors swear has more avocados now that Campos has come in contact with it. We also had them recently level and re-​sod our entire back yard after having to replace a gas line. They even deal with my annoying German Shepherd who is either barking at them or leaving land mines in the yard after we leave for work right before they come ;) Campos Landscaping does it all!
If you are looking for honesty, integrity, and professionalism these are your guys!!!

I’m so sad to write this. Having tried and failed for years to do my own landscape design, I saved up to hire professionals. I wanted to remove what wasn’t working and start fresh with low maintenance, attractive, professionally designed gardens.
I interviewed many landscapers. I chose Campos. I chose wrong.
What they did right:
* Jose was great to talk to before I actually hired them– we even drove around my neighborhood together so I could point out particular plants I liked.
* I was excited to see what design Jose would create and he did sketch a lovely design for the front yard.
* The crew showed up on time, as promised, and worked diligently throughout the demo of the old stuff and the install of the new garden. They seemed to be a team who worked together on a regular basis.
* They did fix the irrigation leaks that were caused during the demo
* when she hired them, my neighbor was quite pleased with their work — so they have done well with other customers.
However they did not do a good job at my house. Why I’m so disappointed:
* my two fave cactii were destroyed in the process. There is now a tall, dying cactus installed prominently right beside my front door. The other one got thrown in the trash.
* the back yard is not significantly different than it was before. They swapped some vines for some trees and added some ground cover and 2 new plants — but otherwise it’s still the same crappy ‘design’ I’ve had (and hated) for years.
* they didn’t place the plants such that the irrigation system would water them correctly — and/​or they didn’t adjust the irrigation so the plants were watered correctly. Half of what they installed gets no water unless I hand-​water. Required hand-​watering is not ‘low maintenance’.
* they didn’t remove the invasive grass and weeds in the gardens. They didn’t put down any landscape fabric. My ‘low maintenance’ garden is anything but. In the three weeks since the new gardens were installed, I’ve had to spend a half an hour a day handweeding and spraying and otherwise battling the invasive grass in every flower bed. Campos did, at my insistence, spray one particularly bad garden bed (it looked like i was installing a lawn there) — but there’s more grass and weeds emerging there AND there is a ton more grass and weeds in the other six garden beds. And Campos has chosen not to deal with any of it. ‘Oh just get some Roundup at Home Depot,” said Jose. «Just spray it.» Well I have been spraying and handweeding and spraying some more and the situation is getting worse and worse.
In summary: my ‘low maintenance, drought tolerant’ garden requires daily hand weeding, spraying and hand watering. Every day I’m in tears, on my hands and knees, waging a losing battle as rogue grass and weeds obliterate my brand new gardens.
It breaks my heart to know that, after saving up for proper, professional landscaping, I picked the wrong landscaping company. Now I’m out a lot of money and left with seven messy, weed-​infested, improperly irrigated garden beds.
It’s going to take a long time to save up to hire someone else to fix Campos’ mistakes… and in the meantime, I’m paying a further price in the daily yardwork I have to do to try to salvage the situation.

After looking throough Unilocal for local lawn maintenance people, I arranged to have Campos Landscaping give me an estimate.
Jose came to have a look, quoted me $ 60.00 for bi-​weekly service on a modest front & back yard job.
I hadn’t had the lawn cut for about 3 weeks… so he said he could knock it out with one of his workers after he gave me the quote.
After coming home and inspecting the job they did… it was a disappointment for two reasons. First of all… this was your first time cutting my lawn and cleaning my flower beds, so do the very best job you can do. All the weeds were not handled to my liking, and the clean-​up could have been more thorough.
Second of all… if you’re going to ask $ 60.00 for bi-​weekly service for what I consider a smaller type job, then I expect things spit & polished!!!
Bottom line… if you’re a stickler like me, then they’re not the ones to hire.
