EXCELENTE A base de 28 reseñas Publicado en Dora P.Verificada We engaged SM Brothers Landscape to bring our long-standing vision for a new patio to life. They consistently delivered on our specifications and proactively offered solutions to the challenges that arose during the project. I am highly satisfied with their professionalism and, most notably, their clear and ongoing communication throughout the process. The finished patio and wall exceed our expectations and closely match our initial concepts. I recommend this company, as they demonstrate a high level of expertise and professionalism. I am a Happy "Midvale" Client.Publicado en Mitchel K.Verificada Johnny came out to evaluate my drip irrigation system. He said that my system was up to date, though some segments may need to be replaced due to age. The system is 17 years old. I consider his advice to be credible.Publicado en Leo C.Verificada It's been such a pleasant journey working with Johnny and his amazing crew. As an architect and homeowner, I can attest that the team of SM Brothers Inc. will bring your dream design come live. Clear and thorough communication throughout the project, their knowledge and attention to details, and flexibility to get through the puzzling obstacles throughout the construction process were what really made this company earn my trust and confidence. Let the work in the photograph speak for themselves. Check out their portfolio for the project in Rancho Palos Verdes. That's our house!Publicado en Daniela P.Verificada Recently finished up a job with Johnny and team at SM Brothers, and couldn't be happier with the quality and look of the finished concrete. From the time of the quote, to contract signing, all the way through demo, and the new pour - this team was professional, courteous, highly responsive to questions, and knowledgeable. They were able to time our project perfectly between unexpected rain storms, and also managed a subcontractor for some fence work we needed at the same time. An added bonus was their familiarity with water drainage, and they provided us with some long term recommendations that we very much appreciated. While they were not the lowest quote received, their experience and familiarity with the materials and techniques necessary to achieve our goals is what convinced us this was the right team. I only wish we had worked with them sooner!Publicado en Alexander H.Verificada Johnny and his team have now done two A+ jobs for us; A holistic landscapining and some additional hedging. In each case, he was responsive, highly knowledgable, and reliable. Couldn't recommend him more highly.Publicado en Cheryl K.Verificada We had a small project in the back of our property that is on the street. Needed a 2 foot retaining wall for our sloped hillside and wanted to redo our driveway which was full of broken concrete. Johnny was accessible and very knowledgeable about what we needed. His brother Irwin was on the job every day with a team of workers which goes to their professionalism with quality control. Stated job would be 5 days and they included a Saturday to get done in that time frame. Excellent work and very professional in all areas. Highly recommend.Publicado en Taylor G.Verificada Worst customer service I have ever had just in a matter of a 3 minute phone conversation. I asked if someone could come out to quote new concrete in front of our 4 garages and alley space in West Hollywood. The gentleman (assuming owner) asks me well, what is the scope of work? ...I explain exactly what I just typed above.... new concrete in front of our 4 garages and alley space. Roughly sits 13 feet back from building and I wasn't sure the width. He says, well I don't need to come out there. Just send me the measurements, the type of concrete, and a couple other things. I tell him, I do not have time to do this and if you can't come out and quote it then I will go with a different company. He says "Okay, do what you have to do". My issue is that I do not have time to do YOUR job sir. If you can't come give a quote to earn my business then you shouldn't have a business. Sad to say, I will not be referring anyone to this shitty excuse of a company as I am a Realtor and have plenty of clients needing new concrete and landscapers on the Westside. Update in reply to his response: I NEVER said I NEEDED this today or tomorrow. So nice try at covering your ass on being completely unprofessional and lazy at your job.Publicado en Em M.Verificada This rating is past due. Johnny was amazing from the beginning to the end. I was so impressed with his employees. They were a joy to have around and didn't leave trash behind like others contractors have done with other jobs. They were friendly, and got the job done. Beautiful! Johnny he was pure joy to work with. I will be using him again.. he books up pretty quickly so don't wait to give him a call, you won't be disappointed.Publicado en Sam K.Verificada We hired SM Brothers to redo our front yard, back yard, and driveway - one of the best decisions we've made since moving into our house. Johnny worked with us to help us figure out possibilities for what we wanted and alternatives in case what we wanted wouldn't work out within our budget. We let him know at the start that my wife was due with our child in late February, and he made sure to get everything done by mid-January so that we had time to settle in. He was great about helping us reach a decision that matched our vision, when we weren't quite sure ourselves. Johnny was an excellent communicator - he kept us up to date with the schedule and what work would happen on which days, which made the whole process really easy on us. If the crew ran into a snag, he made sure to show us the issue and explain options for us to choose from - for example, because of those heavy rains around Christmas, the soil underneath our driveway was basically jelly. He took us out there and had us walk around on it so we could see it for ourselves, and then ran through our options. We ended up trusting Johnny's opinion, which was to dig out an extra ~8 inches of soil to see if there was good soil a little further down, and voila - we found a good base, and Johnny's team was able to build out a solid foundation for the driveway. We found their price to be slightly higher than other companies in the area, but it was absolutely worth it - you get what you pay for, and we got amazing, high-quality work from the SM Brothers team. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! We can't wait to see how everything looks once the plants grow in - some of them are a little sad right now due to us accidentally overwatering them, but they're slowly reviving!Publicado en Lily M.Verificada SM Brothers Landscape did a great job refreshing my front yard with new DG, mulch, weeding and tree trimming. They clearly have a lot of experience and seem to really know what they're doing. They are also very easy to communicate with and very responsive to any questions and concerns. I am super happy with the work they did and would highly recommend them.
