Had him come out to review and give me an estimate on reseeding. He wanted to change out my irrigation system and heads and seemed very knowledgeable. I had to ask twice for the estimate to be emailed, and I scheduled him to come do just the reseeding, but not change the system.
He came, scalped my little area, and reseeded and we had agreed he would move and change out one head on the system for an additional $50. When he was done he came to the front door and I paid him. He was to come back in 2 weeks to change the watering and see if he needed to add additional seed. Well, he Did Not move the sprinkler head. And he never showed up  in 2 weeks to reseed areas and change the watering schedule. No surprise. Don't use this guy.

Sorry to have to give a bad review but there has been no follow through. I called Jose to ask for a sprinkler inspection/repair/replace of a couple heads that weren't working. We also requested help to plan a remodel/repair of our patio/fountain and asked for a quote.
Jose agreed to come the day I called (Wednesday Mar 27) and quoted us $120 to be paid up front to do the sprinkler work. He also said he'd look at the patio/fountain and send us a bid.
Jose came at the agreed time on the 27th. Was very professional and courteous. Seemed like a very nice and competent guy. Stayed about an hour and talked us through various patio/fountain options. He agreed to bid out a couple options and email them back to us. Next, he ran the sprinkler system through its stations and pointed out which heads and lines needed to be repaired. He didn't have time/materials to repair that day but said he would come back.
I texted him our email address, to which he was to send the quote for the patio work and agree a day to come repair the sprinkler heads. He said he'd send the patio quote on Friday or Monday.
18 days have passed. I've texted several times but he has never sent a quote, replied to any texts or called.  Jose is a nice guy just didn't follow through.

Zero stars.  After he asked for my address, I never heard from him again.  His initial reply was 24 hours after I posted the request.  The courtesy of a reply that declined to do the estimate would have been professional.  This company obviously is not.

Jose and Co. came and did a tremendous job cleaning up my front yard. With all of the rain this year the weeds had gotten seriously out of control. They did a great job cleaning and trimming everything for a good price. They are definitely my go-to for lawn care from now on.

Said he would be in area at 11am. Fee for irrigation check was $60. If that was ok, send him cross streets and address. Silly me. I thought that was an appointment. When I check in, he says there was no appointment. He was just letting me know he was in the area and I need to make an appointment. Asked for an appointment, never heard from him. Not very professional

I called Jose because I came home from vacation to a soggy wet backyard.  He explained the inspection  fee and was there that day.  Turns out it was the fountain malfunction and not the irrigation, he fixed it without parts, I was only charged the inspection fee.  Good money spent!  He educated me on what went wrong so hopefully won't happen again.  Then, because of other reviewer comments, I asked him about my sad citrus trees and he spent so much time explaining what was going on (I'm a CA transplant) and what I could do to fix.  Time is money and he was so generous and willing to share his time and expertise!  So much recommend!

The first time I met and talked to Jose was when I just moved to my new home and had him came for an estimate of some landscape work.  That was last year, and too much moving stuffs made me forget about his estimate.

The second time was a couple of days ago. He was coming and did the cleanup on my rental property.

Both times, Jose is very professional and knowledgeable. He came and give me an estimate for the frontyard. I met him the next day asking him to also do some cleaning to the backyard. He went to the backyard to take a look and said that since there is not too much in the backyard, he will keep the price the same. How nice of him doing extra work for the same price!

It was dark at that time, and he had to come back the next day to finish the job. I came back to the house yesterday looking at the yard and was so pleased of how clean and nice it is. Jose took care of everything he said he would do without me being present. I really appreciate that.

Thank you Jose.

This is regards to a commercial property I own in Peoria even though I live in California. I will give him an extra star for at least going out to my property and let me know he had an estimate.  After that he was not to be heard from again.  I called him to let me know what his estimate would be.  Called him again and gave him both my number and email to please email me an estimate.  Both times he decided he didn't want to follow up.  Not saying he might not do good work but I felt this guy let me down.
Hope others have better luck.

UPDATE: I tried to call him again after he said I never worked with him but he again goes to voicemail and at this point I have found another landscaper that seems to be more reliable.

C & A Landscapes, Jose being the owner, he works very hard along with his crew to get the job done. We needed several shrubs and a tree removed. No problem. Jose gave me a reasonable bid and did an outstanding job!! Well worth the fee. Talking with Jose I could immediately tell that he knows his business. Plants names and what the requirements are, etc. I will keep his card in a safe place because the next time we need help C & A Landscapes is who we will call. Yes, we vote 5 stars, they deserve every one of them!

I have nothing but praise for C & A. I had my yard graded due to drainage issues. Clay came out promptly and provided a detailed quote. I compared with other companies and decided to go with Clay's quote. Since we had such a wet spring, he was not able to start for many weeks. As soon as it dried out he started grading. He was not able to finish due to more rain. He came out during one heavy storm and watched where the water was still pooling. Once it dried again. He put the final touches in place. We have had several heavy rains since. We no longer have any drainage issues. Clay went above and beyond. I highly recommend. He even stopped by a couple days after he had finished to make sure I was happy.

I recently started using C & A Landscapes consistently and have been so happy with Jose.  He is so professional and easy to communicate with.   While Jose had come out to my home before to do various trimmings and clean-ups which I always thought were timely and very well done, over the last few months he has come out consistently to my house to do maintenance.

I used to just wait until things were a real mess before I'd call, but now he comes out every month like clockwork and does maintenance on my yard.  While I never thought I'd need monthly maintenance, it really keeps things under control and helps me budget my needs effectively.  No surprises.  He's always on time and his work is so tidy and thoughtful--it feels like a housecleaning but for the outside!  He always does more than I expect, like sprays weed killer if needed and make sure the whole yard looks clean.  He's really knowledgeable about plants and trees; he's not just a trimmer.  He really loves what he does!

Having a regular, affordable, and high quality landscaper has been so great.  While it's something I hadn't thought about needing, my house has never looked better and no more big overgrown messes!  Jose is friendly and trustworthy.  I wanted to write this review now because he told me, it'd be great if this tree (a big mesquite) was trimmed consistently as it will have a really nice canopy if it's maintained.  What do I know--it's just a tree to me!  But he was right and I went out yesterday and realized, wow, after just a few months, it's looking amazing!  I highly recommend him!

Jose and his team did an excellent job removing several trees from our property and re-planting new ones. He was reliable, efficient and priced fairly. We would definitely use him again. We definitely recommend C&A Landscaping.

Carlos is great and on top of great work and reliability he and his partner Caesar are so nice and a pleasure to work with.  They are top shelf with their work, timeliness and communication. They are taking great care of my Arizona home and they are my regular Landscapers now!

Jose and his team did an excellent job. He was very responsive and resourceful and extremely friendly. The service was beyond our expectation and most definitely will be using him for the future.

Awesome company! Quick responses, immediate visit to my property for quoting purposes, excellent communication and same day service!  They did  exactly what they promised to do and quoted. I highly recommend this landscaping company. Thank you Jose for taking so much time to talk with me and explain the process....you have a new customer!

These guys rock!  I'd been trying to get a landscaper for several weeks and never got a call back.  Jose called me back within a couple of hours of me leaving a message.  He came by THAT EVENING to give me a quote.  And came out to do the work 2 days later.  When he and his crew came to do the job, I really that I was getting a huge amount of work for a very reasonable price.  It was awesome!  They really went above and beyond, doing way more than I thought would get done.  I will definitely use this company again and will recommend them to all my friends.

Got a quote in 3 hours. Guys came and performed amazingly. I will definitely get them again. They finished a big job and went above and beyond! Thanks guys!

Needed some help removing weeds, trimming trees, and cleaning up the yard (well, by help I mean doing it all).  The weeds were very bad, and it was not a quickie job because I wanted them pulled by hand.  Jose came out for a quote the next day (Friday) and they came out to do the work Monday.

The yard looks great, and I appreciate getting help quickly and, just as importantly, reliably.  They arrived for both the quote and cleanup at the expected time, which is very helpful.  I'm glad I found a new landscaper.

Came down to Moon Valley nurseries and found the perfect tree. David and Donavan did a great job! Will definitely be back next year!!

Very satisfied with the service I received!
1. Answered my initial phone call and followed up on the days he said he would.
2. Flexible with scheduling.
3. Fair price.
4. Did a great job (trimming of all plants/bushes and leaf removal).
5. Accepts credit cards.

I'm not sure if Jose is going through some family issues, or if has just bit off on more projects than he can fulfill, but I'm forced to look for someone else.  I own a rental property in Surprise, and at first Jose jumped in, drew up a quick estimate for some landscaping and general property clean-up, and I thought we were good-to-go.  That was back in November, 2014!  Through sporadic emails and virtually no returned phone-calls, the project has never been done.  Finally, in May, he wrote back to say he wanted to re-vist the house to re-draft an estimate.  We were hopeful, however, he never got around to doing that.  Jose is a nice enough fella; he just doesn't have good business etiquette.

We've been using C&A for almost a year now. We first called when we had a flooding/water line break emergency last summer. He came out and corrected it quickly, and we've been calling him ever since for periodic yard cleanup. Jose is very professional, efficient, and very hard-working.  When we bought our home a year ago, it had a wide array of landscaping problems. He has fixed our poorly designed drip system, replaced sprinklers and our defunct timer, and does a great job of trimming and shaping yard plants. He doesn't hesitate to offer helpful tips to help us maintain and improve our yard in between jobs. Plus, his pricing is more than fair. We're grateful to have found a great landscaper; thank you Jose!

My husband and I thought we could manage our yard on our own - but nope. Before we knew it, we had partially killed off half our shrub plants. My husband called C& A Landscapes to help us, and we're so happy with them! They were easy to get in touch with, friendly over the phone, and very flexible with their scheduling. They showed up on time to give us an estimate, and both gentleman seemed very knowledgeable about the different plants we had (and our irrigation system). They weren't pushy and they didn't try to oversell their services - rather, they gave us a very fair estimate. On the day of work, they again showed up on time and got straight to business. Our yard looks great, our checkbook isn't hurting, and we're planning on using this company for all our future landscaping needs. Highly recommend!

Apparently they have too much business to be taking on any more.  I requested Jose to just respond twice with no call back. I'm guessing it just fell through the cracks but maybe if you are too busy to schedule appointments its time for some administrative assistance. Hopefully in the future you will be better about communication with new potential customers.

Jose subcontracted us, Ironwood Metal Works, to build and install a wrought iron side gate for one of his customers. He was courteous, professional, and punctual for the initial consultation and installation. I observed how he interacted with his customers and I was very impressed. He extended the same courtesies to them and remained flexible and willing to meet their every need. I recommend him to all my clients and friends.

Update: 2016... Unfortunately, we are no longer hiring Jose because it became too difficult to contact him for any further work & we really needed someone we could rely on for our yard maintenance. Which is too bad because he did good work.

Jose knows design, botany, irrigation, and lighting.  Our new home hadn't been cared for in six months.  Jose got everything ship shape.  I will use him again for some new hardscape and for maintenance.

My tree was fell and snapped by the darn storm last week. I called Jose to come over to give us an estimation. He came on the same day and gave us a very reasonable price. We were very surprised he didn't increase the price due to the demands of the landscapers by the storm damage in Phoenix. What surprised me more is his work is beyond my expectation. He was very details on the weeds picking (and even sprayed  weed killer), bushes trimming, and of course clean-up my fell tree. Overall he is very fast, professional, and very good job of the works. Highly recommended of him and I am glad I choose C&A to help me out. Definitely will have him to help me next time.

As I sit on my patio this morning drinking my morning coffee and watching my 3 large dogs play in the back yard, all I can think about is what a great job Jose from C & A Landscapes did. I have a fully landscaped .5 acre lot in Goodyear and it has never looked better.  I have used companies in the past but C &A did the best job and I will use them for all of my landscaping needs in the future. Thanks again Jose for all of your great work!

Great service and decent prices. Very happy that I chose Jose to trim my trees and bushes. Very knowledgable and quick. Very easy to make appointments as well.

I chose C & A Landscapes from a phone book.  Yes, a phone book. A heavy object composed of yellow paper!  That is how long José has been taking care of my yard.   He is knowledgeable and honest.  Most of all, he has a true passion for plants, especially desert plants.   (This is huge, since I seem to be incapable of growing even the simplest flower on my own!)

Last summer José asked if he could also take care of my pool.   I said yes, and it was a great decision.  Now my yard work is done synergistically.  

As the years have gone on, several neighbors - having seen how trustworthy he is - have also hired José to take care of their yards.   All have thanked me.  

Fellow Yelpers, you do not have to pick a landscaper out of a phone book!  That is old school.  Benefit from my experience, and call C & A Landscapes.

Jose is the guy if you want any landscaping work done.  I called Jose on trimming the trees and doing a desert landscaping.  He took time out from his busy schedule and came over to give me an overall estimate for tree trimming.  His price and service were both exceptional.  Jose is an honest person with a lot of experience.  Overall, I am a very satisfied customer.

Sent a note for a request within this site over a week ago, followed up with a phone call for a quote and no response to this day 3/23/16.  Moving on to another company.

It appears that C&A is out of business.  Their voicemail says they went on vacation for the month of June.  But they are still not answering the phone as of 3 July.  Too bad I liked the work they did.  Time to find a full time landscaper.

Jose just finished a clean up job t my father's house.  I hired him based on his Yelp reviews.  He responded quite quickly and gave me a very reasonable estimate the next day. He was able to do the work the next day.  He sent me pictures of the before and after work.  He did an excellent job on the palms and overgrown bushes and was able to educate me on what plants were in the yard and assure me of their health.

He invoiced over the internet and made payment quite easy.  He was very responsive via phone while at the property.

I would highly recommend Jose for his honesty and excellent work.

Fast response and did an awesome job for a reasonable price. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!

After reviews on this site I decided to hire Jose to do my landscaping on a bi weekly basis. That was in April. Since I hired him in the middle of April, he only can one time. In May, on one visit I looked out to see that he was digging up a small section of my grass. He said nothing to me about any problem. However, after that I noticed my dogs would always go and get a drink from that dug up area. I investigated further and there was some sort of leak, with water pooling up. He never mentioned to me that he was going on vacation for the month of June. For my first June visit I waited and waited all day. I tried to call and found out that he was on vacation and not answering his phone. Nobody came the day I was scheduled. I sent an email and he responded that he didn't know why his guys didn't show up but would check into it. I heard nothing further. Still have a leak in my yard and my grass begins to die. Grass that was perfectly healthy when Jose started doing my maintenance. For my second visit in June someone did actually show up but not Jose (he also told me that he is always on every job site when I hired him). He sent me a text to ask what I wanted to do with the saguaro that had fallen over into my driveway. We agreed that it would be allowed to dry out over the next two weeks so that it was easier to remove and I could get the ribs out of it. Guys show up today, again, no Jose. The guy I spoke to had no clue what to do with the fallen saguaro or about the issue with my grass. He said that Jose hasn't even called him. I explained that I tried to call Jose but his mailbox is full and you can't leave a message. It also says that vacation should have been over on June 30th.

Apparently don't believe all reviews and it's now time to find yet another landscaping service!

C & A Landscaping recently did some work on our rental property in Goodyear! They did an amazing job and we couldn't be happier!! Jose was really kind and helpful and was really great about answering my many questions and he and his guy were quick and thourough! Everything looks beautiful and we will definitely recommend them and use them regularly! Jose was also really prompt in returning my request for a estimate!

I called C&A Landscapes yesterday to ask about weed control and bush trimming.  Today Jose arrived on schedule, quoted us a reasonable fee to care for our property.  He came prepared to do the work on the spot! Jose had one helper with him and together they dug out all visible weeds, trimmed all of our bushes, sprayed for weeds, removed all the trimmings, blew all remaining small trimmings and then hand swept, being careful not to blow debris into the street or to neighboring property.  These two guys were thorough, friendly and fair.  I highly recommend them for any yard needs!

Jose and his crew did an excellent job on my yard. It was in pretty rough shape, several holes and grass/bushes growing out of control, plus two leaks in my sprinkler system. The yard now looks amazing! I would recommend him to anyone and happily call him out again! Thanks for your excellent work!

Called to set up a cleaning for the front yard and back yard plus two tree removals and two bush removals. Showed up same day I called to do an estimate, and scheduled for the next day to do the work. Showed up on time and after he was done both yards looked amazing. Cleaned up all the mess and hauled away the plant removals.  Very fair price and would recommend to anyone.

Look here.  Jose was an amazing guy.  I was extremely satisfied with their work, and he was prompt, and kept in touch with me the whole time.  I've dealt with more than one shady landscaper before and I am super happy to have found Jose and his team.  I recommend him to all my friends and family and I would certainly recommend him to you, if you are looking for a new guy for your personal or commercial property.  These guys are fantastic.

We live out-of-state and inherited a property that had not been maintained over the last year due to an illness.  We had been receiving HOA violation notices, so our Realtor suggested Jose from C&A Landscapes.  He was very quick to respond, get us a quote and even worked us in the next day when he had a cancellation.  He took pictures when complete so we could send to the HOA management company.  A few weeks later we had him come back and do the backyard before the house went on the market, including taking down a screened section of a porch which is not the usual landscaping job.  He did a fabulous job and looks great.  We would highly recommend him.

I definitely recommend this company. I called and they came out first thing this morning, did great work and did not charge me an arm and a leg. Everything he did, he explained to me so I understood exactly what was going on. I will only use this company for landscaping from here on out. Thank you Jose, you saved our yard.

Jose did a great job again! He's quick and efficient, I truly appreciate the work he does. My go-to landscaper. Thank you so much!

Scheduled three different times for him to come out.  He didn't make any of them.  The last one I got no notice, just no showed and never reached out to reschedule.  There are plenty of companies that did respond and keep their appts so apparently business is good at Jose Landscaping...

Liliana and her team are incredible!!! They did an absolutely amazing cleanup job on my yard. They were on time and very reasonably priced. I will certainly use them again.

Thanks for everything!

Company reached out stating they wanted to come do a walkthrough and provide estimate; advised I am anytime during week.  They asked for cross streets , of which I provided, and after that never heard back from the company.

Lili and the team did an amazing job transforming our front mess into a very nice patio! Highly recommended! Thank you!

I've had Liliana/Jesse over to perform an initial cleanup, planter wall repair, some tree removal/planting, and monthly maintenance cleanup twice since the initial visit. The yard has come out looking very clean every time, and the brick/stucco repair along the planter wall looked fantastic after the work was complete! Great communication as well. Thank you!!

We have had Sun of the Valley out multiple times and they are always prompt and professional and friendly and most importantly they are really passionate about leaving the yard looking perfect.  When they are done servicing our yard it looks like brand new landscaping that could be featured in photos for a housing development and there is nothing that they don't do. They leave our yard spotless every time even when our weeds are really overgrown and there is torn up trash and droppings from our dog in the back , and they don't even mention it or stress about it because they are just great people that do awesome work!  Worth every penny to hire them.  Thank you Liliana!

They came out today and did a yard clean up. They did great work and used eco friendly techniques. I am very pleased. Also, they were singing for a bit while they were working which was very pleasant. I feel like my plants are happy and so am I.

Sun of the Valley Landscaping is amazing!!!! They are prompt to respond, do an awesome job, and they do it for very good price. Definitely will be calling them for future landscaping needs.

I did not think it was possible to clean my yard in one day and what do you know, they do it in just 4 hours!

Highly recommend!!

I have had a difficult time replacing my landscaper. People do not show, can't give me an estimate and open times.
My yard was out of control! Sun of the Valley provided a prompt and reasonable quote!
Communication was top notch, I knew what to expect and they are very polite and friendly.
My tree was taken care of and beautiful clean up.
Thank you Sun of the Valley! Lili and Jesse are great.
Before and after pictures

Sun of the Valley Landscaping: Liliana and Jesse along with their crew, did a fantastic job of putting the customer first. They planted Pygmy palms for us, discussed how to improve our other trees, had  suggestions for future design. They were patient in scheduling and professional once they arrived. They were efficient and effective in communicating with us in regard to our vision. I would recommend Sun Of The Valley Landscaping for your tree and landscaping needs.

Thanks to Sun of the Valley for the pavers addition to driveway and for completing our Landscaping at a very affordable rate. Lili and Jesus are very professional and most of all honest people who care about there customers.

Lilian's employees were on time and did a cleanup job.  Also, had some irrigation work that needed to be inspected and they did all that was promised. Paid a little more but also seemed to get what I invested into it. Will be using SOTVL'ing again.  Thank you for your help in keeping my property looking great!

I have no reason to lie about your business. Everything I said was 100% accurate. Your guys did come back and trim the tree they missed BUT they did NOT return and rake the rocks again. My home surveillance will show that your lying about that. If your not lying about the gate code then your crew is lying to you. The code still works to this day. Your company now has a 2 star rating on Yelp which says a lot!!  You want better reviews and a more successful company then start being honest with your customers and NEVER lie or make promises you can not keep.

We couldn't be happier with our new backyard -- it looks beautiful!  Lili, JJesse, and crew did a wonderderful job!  They were very easy to work with and did all that they could to be sure we got everything we wanted.  Great people -- great work!

Called for a consultation. The reply was rather vague in that no committment was made except they would call this morning and it would be between 8 and 11. I never received a call or visit.

Owner's reply confirms, an unprofessional company.

They did an excellent job getting our yard back under control. We were amazed at how efficient they worked. Lilly was on site to answer any questions we had and to communicate between myself and the landscapers. They offered recommendations for other items that need work in the future which is good for budget planning. They were not the lowest bid however because they were responsive and took their time giving us a true estimate we went with their company. Glad we chose them!

We purchased a home and moved in 3 weeks ago. The home was vacant for months, which meant the front and backyard were not being taken care of. We had several companies come out and give us a quote. We ended up going with Lili and her team and we are so glad we did. They gave us a very fair price (less than any other company) and did an amazing job. We will be using them for our monthly service and any landscaping job we may need in the future.

I reached out to them and they came out the next day!  They did an amazing job!  My front yard was very overgrown and they made it look great in 2 hours!

Needed someone to come out and trim palm tree before all the pods opened and fell into our pool.  I immediately got a reply from Liliana, her estimate was great and I even added on skinning the tree.  They were at my house the next day and before I knew it they were done and everything was cleaned up.  I will definitely be using Sun of the Valley Landscaping again!

Great work and reasonable prices, the crew's attention to detail and pride in their work was refreshing.  They were open to design ideas and changes to make sure I was pleased with the results.  Lili and Jesus were very easy to work with and I will gladly call them for future projects

Lulu and Jesse are great. They showed up when they said they were going to- which is huge for me. Very response via email, phone, text. They worked with me to get the price I needed to make it work to take care of my yard. Jesse is a hard worker and efficient. Glad I finally found a landscaper that does good work and I can trust.

A great team. They started working at 10 AM and finished at 6:00 PM. They care about details and try to make their work as best as possible. On top of that, the price was great.  Now, my neighbors are asking for the company number because they loved their work.

The company provided fantastic experience with my landscape! I will definitely hire them again and recommend to all my friends

After 2 years of neglecting our yard, we finally decided to do something about our forrest of weeds. I sent pictures and requested quotes from several places and Liliana responded within the hour with a very reasonable quote. They did an amazing job of getting our backyard cleaned up! The before and after pictures speak for themselves! We're planning on doing some hardscape and landscape in the future and definitely planning to use Sun of the Valley Landscaping to continue our backyard transformation.

Excellent work at a good price. Showed up on time, removed the stump, and left my yard clean as a whistle. I will use them again for any tree/stump removing services.

It was a great experience to work with Sun of the Valley Landscaping,  together we worked on a baseline design and completed the project in a timely manner.

They installed:

Artificial Grass
Trees
Plants
Pavers
Rocks
And more

-Competitive Price
-Great Quality

-Good knowledge and experience with                             Landscaping, plants, trees, grass, pavers and overall agricultural necessities.

-Professional Team
-On time everyday
-Solid communication

I highly recommend this team!

This is our go to place for my landscaping needs. We recently moved into our new home and our backyard needed a lot of work. Lili and her team were amazing. They provided amazing customer service in a timely manner. I would recommend their services to anyone.

We scheduled an in-person estimate and they did not show up. As a result, I did not feel comfortable using their services as I was not confident that they would show up to complete the work.

Lili and Jesse are by far the best landscaping business in the valley. Lili was on-time and delivered on every promise she made. Her crew was affordable and did a fantastic job on our yard. It was an easy decision to sign up for her monthly cleanup after the first interaction!

Awesome people who do great work. They came out and did my yard today and it looks fantastic! I am so happy with the yard now and will definitely use them again for future jobs. Price was nice and the work was great. Who can ask for anything more?

I finally found their yelp page to leave a review!  It's been several weeks since I used this company.  They did great work, fast, and was really impressed with the quantity/quality of work they did for us!

I was a potential customer who contacted the company for a custom job,  very confusing and unprofessional experience.
