Green Valley Landscape

This is the best landscaping company in this area! Run by a real artist mr. Mori. Can’t recommend enough!

Owner is Mori, a very alerted landscape architect. He designed our front and rear yards and presented us with low, medium and high cost choices. We went with a medium high (thousands of dollars less than two other bids from competitors). He and his workers were extraordinarily hard workers and the project went smoothly from start to finish. We have let Mori show our yard as an example of his work. We also, use his weekly yard service and although the cost seems high the two men that come weekly are also diligent, hard workers with great experience and our yard looks super all the time.

Realize, first off, that Green Valley Landscape exists to sell plants from Seaside Gardens Nursery, also owned by Mori. So, there is great incentive for Mori to put in plants in your yard that he grows in his nursery without regard to whether they will thrive where they are planted. He will drop a little fertilizer pellet in each hole so the plants will do OK for a few months, then they will dwindle and die. He will refuse to stand by his plantings, despite his assurances that they will grow in those areas. Why bother hiring an «expert» if he will not use his expertise to place plants so that they will thrive? I would have been better just picking exactly what i wanted and planting them and seeing what happened.
I spent tens of thousands of dollars with his company on our landscape. Admittedly, it looked great when he finished, but has since failed to thrive. I asked him to recommend fertilizers and help to adjust the irrigation system to ensure that each plant was getting the water it needed. I was promised three months of help with this. What I received was three months of leaf blowing by a couple of his low end guys.
Additionally, beware the bill. Mori makes promises up front WRT to pricing that are far from what you are billed. His wife makes the bill and there are many inaccuracies that occur in the process. I was able to catch a few of these which saved me several thousand dollars, but I am left to wonder how much more I was overcharged on things that I was not able to accurately determine what was placed. E. g, I was quoted one price on stone on my estimate and was charged double that on the actual bill. It was estimated 1.5 tons of another stone and we were billed for 5 tons which was obviously much more than was used. We eventually were able to get these corrected only after much back and forth between Mori and his wife, all along getting nagged by his wife to pay up. I don’t pay until a correct bill is presented. I’m not going to pay up and hope for a refund.
I’m sure if you are willing to pay his service for the rest of your life, he would be happy to help you out in maintaining the landscape you paid so dearly for. Otherwise, you can be assured that you’ll be told to pound sand. Definitely not a business that you want to deal with unless you have an excess of money that you would like to direct to a landscaping company for eternity.
