Torrentera Landscape

I have a small yard that doesn’t have any grass but has lots of weeds. With my schedule keeping the weeds at bay became way too much for me. I hired two other landscaping companies to come out on a monthly basis and manage the problem and both came once or twice and never returned. I reached out to both to no avail. When I contacted Torrentera I was up to my eyeballs in weeds. I was impressed with how professional they are. They sent out someone to look at my yard and gave me what I thought was a fair estimate for the service. Within a week, my weeds were gone and they were very consistent about returning and working. I would highly recommend Torrentera if you have not been able to find a consistent company to manage your landscaping needs.

For months after I moved into my house I tried to fix up my lawn and garden and to take care of the weeding. Well, that was a losing battle and one day I decided it was time to call it quits and hire a gardening company to help fix up and maintain my yard. I’m a new homeowner and I definitely didn’t know what I was in for when I bought the house! Having put so much into the house it wouldn’t do to have the outside look horrible!
My husband I first decided to see if the gardener who used to take care of this lawn would work. The man said he would come by a certain day, he never called us back. We saw a gardening company working on a neighbor’s lawn and decided to call them. Same thing happened. Seems like no one wanted our business! From there we decided to use Unilocal to find 3 reputable gardening companies! Three more calls later and finally we got to meet up with Ruben! The other two companies weren’t up to point. One called back a week later. The other we met up with but they were very unprofessional.
I was able to talk to Diane over the phone to set up the initial appt and to ask questions about the company. She knows what she’s is talking about and is very easy to talk to. Personable and willing to let you know how things are. Ruben came early on the day of and you could tell that he’d been in the business for a while. That plus he’s about 70 so I would hope so! After a string of no luck with all these different gardening companies it was wonderful to finally find one that hopefully would work for us!
It’s been about a month and half since then and we’re both pretty darn happy with Torrentara. Ruben came out on the first visit here and supervised for a little bit before going. A crew of three guys show up every week now. Our yard definitely needs clean up and then maintaining afterwards. Instead of charging us an up front cleaning fee Torrentara decided that instead they could gradually do it over a few months with the weekly visits. They stay longer each time for about an hour to do a little bit more to get our yard to where it should be. That will still take a long time but at least it’s getting somewhere!
It took some time to find Torrentara but I’m so glad we were able to find them!

I have had several gardeners over the past year and no one has been able to beat Torrentera. They are on time every time (I have a large dog so I needed an earlier time frame so I could be home to keep him in while they did their work, and they accommodated my needs without any hassles!), take their time with their work and you can obviously tell they care about what they are doing. Usually it is a crew of 3 people who come and always are there at least 30 minutes. They also trim my roses according to the season and fertilize when needed. I like that I don’t have to ask them to do things and that they already know when its time for something to be trimmed, fertilized, etc. I highly recommend Torrentera!!!

I moved from the South Bay, back to Palos Verdes and suddenly had a real yard that required weekly maintenance, much more than my previous, «mow, blow, & go,» gardener. Torrentera is a full service gardening, landscape service, which has been around since 1971. I’ve had the luxury of watching them come to my property on my designated day (Thursday) and they always come with a crew of 3 who put in between 30 – 45 minutes, with the entire crew working hard the whole time.
I’ve been VERY happy with the service I’ve received. If you need anything ancillary done, like, tree trimming, planting additional vegetation, sodding a lawn, fertilizing, sprinklers, basically anything yard related, they can do it. I’ve found that they give a very fair quote, and are willing to listen if you think you have a better quote, but I like to stay within Torrentera for all my needs, they treat me right.
The individual overseeing the various trucks and workers is Ruben, who is the principal owner — nice guy. The financial guru, and the individual you will work with on the business side (payment) is Diane — nice lady. The two of them are very honest, and willing to work with you on whatever your needs might be. I’ve called twice to have them give me quotes on unique jobs, and Diane generally says, «are you around, Ruben can be there in 30 minutes to give you a quote.» That’s the type service they give.
