B & R Landscaping

MUST READ! definitely worth the time
When Jorge first came out for an estimate we immediately thought he was very professional and was gonna have great quality work. we got new sod installed in our backyard and a small strip in the front yard (next to existing grass) on 7÷11÷14. the first time they came out and did the work, it was a pretty good job. I probably would have rated it 4 stars, but then this happened…
After install, the new sod in front yard was a completely different color then existing grass. They also said that our existing grass has alot of weeds and it was gonna take over new sod and that we should redo the front yard. I think that would have been great info to know before we got the work done. We also asked for estimate to redo the rest of the front yard with sod numerous times and never heard back.
About 4 days later, half of the grass in backyard completely died, and rest of the grass was beautifull. Jorge came out and said I should have been watering it 3 times a day (which you would think as an installer you tell you customer after install) and to water heavy for a week, and if it didn’t come back he would replace. A week later he came out and said I haven’t been watering the grass (which I was) and probably the sprinkler heads weren’t working (which his team checked out every one and all broken ones were replaced by him at 14 $ each). He said to water for another 2 weeks. 2 weeks went by and he agreed to replace the grass. I got a voicemail on Thursday saying they would replace grass on Saturday but didn’t know what time they were gonna come. um ok. this is were it gets bad…
They weed wacked MOST of the dead grass and layed new sod right over. They blew all the trimmings into my tanbark and under my patio set cover. the lines for new sod were not straight at all and nothing like the initial install. Some of the new sod was literally sitting on top of old grass 4 inches higher then the older sod they put in. The rework was a complete joke. The workers were completely rude.
I would try and talk to them and all they would do is turn there backs and walk away. Unbelievable. They also never cut out holes for sprinkler heads. When I called Jorge on saturday, he said no one was available to come out and to cut them out myself. Im Done with this company and there complete un prossionalism and poor communication. they called up the sod company saying how it was bad and needed to be replaced. I thought that it was wrong for them to tell the sod company they needed the whole purchase total replaced when they knew they were only replacing half the portion and pocketed the rest. A whole pallet worth of sod
I really thought the higher prices would mean higher quality. but this was not the case. please save your time and money and go with someone else.

I had a dirt patch of a back yard. I worked with Jorge over email and Felipe came before the project started to help plan out the sod. They were easy to get a contract and agreed scope of work. Their team came to start when Jorge said they would and finished in the time frame they planned. To make sure I was happy, they delayed the sod placement so I could look at the prep work. We did have a slight issue that about ¼ of the sod appeared to be a different species or blend, it became more noticeable a few days after placement. I contacted Jorge a week after the job finished. He came out and met with me a couple days after that. He promised it would be taken care of within a couple days. B and R delivered on their promise, removing the discolored sod, and replacing with matching sod. I’ll be calling them to do the front yard when the rain comes back.

Jorge planned it and scheduled it, Felipe made it happen! We are so impressed with their ability to design, accurately produce, stay on schedule, clean up after the day’s work and go the extra mile. They produced a beautiful front lawn on our challenging corner lot, adding a corner garden and clearance under our tree. We couldn’t be happier. THANK YOU to the crew!

These guys are the BEST. We wanted to have our new house landscaped. We talked to a lot of people, but Jorge was the only one who listened to what we wanted, and worked with us to refine the design. The whole crew was neat and courteous. They came when they were supposed to and did a beautiful job. Fairly priced. They’ve started doing our maintenance and so far we couldn’t be more pleased. Very professional.

Jorge got back to me right away, came out and spent half an hour checking my sprinkler system. Didn’t even charge me to diagnose the problem! One of his guys came out the next day, fixed the problem (which was a total mystery to two other landscaping contractors) and it was less than half of what anyone else was going to charge me. His worker (sorry I can’t remember his name) worked quickly and cleaned up every last spec of dirt and debris. I was totally impressed with their service and fees.

This guy are very professional and responsible what they did
Also their price is very good too.
I will ask them to do other jobs too

Lawnless front yard… how risqué! But B&R did it up right for us, they gave us a completely overhauled front yard — ripped out the pitiful, tragic lawn & bushes and installed new paver walkways, rock wall planter beds, native drought-​tolerant plants, dry stream bed and an automatic drip irrigation system. And we couldn’t have been more impressed with their service, responsiveness, personal attention and overall quality.
I’d originally met with three potential landscapers and B&R stood out immediately. Mayolo conducted the initial consultation and asked me a bunch of questions and took a lot of time to ensure he understood our vision and needs for the project. Jorge then presented a very detailed proposal (FAR more detailed than the competitive proposals I received), even including detailed plant names and itemized costs for the project. He was very flexible and responsive in fine-​tuning the budget and project specs in order to get it just right for us. Their costs are very reasonable compared to the competition.
After we signed off on the final proposal, work began within a week, and was completed in 6 days! The result was thoroughly amazing — far better than we even imagined.
From initial consultation through post-​project follow-​up, B&R has exceeded our expectations all around!
(BTW, though they are based in Manteca they do landscaping throughout the East Bay as well).
