Abel was absolutely amazing! So kind and so passionate about his work. Will definitely be using him again!

Thumbtack customerSep 2026

Abel was a pleasure to work with and very responsive. He knew exactly what we needed done and was able to repair right away.

Thumbtack customerSep 2026

I wish I could choose all the options for Abel because he was punctual and so responsive as well. I couldn’t be happier with my experience! He was incredibly professional and brought precise attention to detail to every aspect of the project. He treated both me and my property with genuine respect throughout the entire process. He truly took care of me and completely transformed my front yard—it looks amazing. Look at the before and after photos! Even while he was working, people from the neighborhood kept stopping to compliment and praise his work. I would recommend him without hesitation!

Abel did a fantastic job planting bamboo for us! I started looking for someone on Tuesday, and by 10 AM on Thursday, the bamboo was already planted. I expected the work to take much longer, but he completed it in just a few hours, with care and attention to detail. What really stood out was the effort he put into finding us the best options. He researched, called, and visited several nurseries, and used his contacts to get us a great deal. He explained everything clearly, worked carefully, and left the area clean. (See before and after pictures attached) Abel was dedicated, efficient, and easy to work with. We’re so happy with the results that we’re already planning to have him back to help with some other issues in our garden. Highly recommend! ☺️

Abel did a great job on our sod project. He consistently responded quickly to texts and calls and answered all questions thoroughly. He transformed my dirt/weeds into a beautiful sodded lawn. He and his team worked very hard and got the job done on time and cleaned up after. His price was competitive. We will be working together again on more projects in the future.

Thumbtack customerAug 2026

Abel did excellent job to complete the project and I’m extremely satisfied. He assembled the valves upfront to save time. He checked every sprinkler carefully to ensure working properly. He even did extra work to fix a serious leaking pipe. Abel is very friendly, energetic and detail oriented, he earned my trust

I hired AG Landscaping & Irrigation Services to clean up and level our messy backyard dirt area. They cleared out all the junk, rocks, and random stuff, then smoothed everything out nicely. The difference is super obvious when you look at the before and after pics. The yard feels so much better already and is way safer for the kids to run around on. The guys were friendly, showed up when they said they would, and got the whole job done in just 2 days. The dirt prep turned out really solid. I would 100% recommend them to anyone with no hesitation!!

Our backyard was in dire need of improvement, with dry and dead grass covering most of the area. We hired AG Landscaping to remove two inches of the dry grass and dirt, replacing it with fresh Bermuda grass. Abel and their team exceeded our expectations, completing the project in just three days. They handled the removal and soil conditioning, reset the entire irrigation system, and added six new sprinklers to ensure comprehensive coverage. On the final day, they laid the new grass and made sure every manhole cover remained accessible. Thanks to their efforts, our backyard now looks significantly better. I only wish I had discovered AG Landscaping sooner. Highly recommending them.

I reached out to three of the highest-rated landscapers on Thumbtack, and Abel immediately set himself apart. He was the first to respond—and the only one who actually showed up on time (he was even early). I never even received quotes from the other two. I had a large, complex project, and as a homeowner you never really know what you’re going to get—you just hope for the best. With Abel, I got far more than I expected. The project started with my backyard, which had 3–4 inches of compacted, weed-covered topsoil from years of neglect and no irrigation. Abel and his crew removed all of it, brought in fresh 50/50 soil, and leveled everything perfectly. The transformation just from that step alone was impressive. Next was a full irrigation overhaul. My existing system was damaged in multiple areas and partially removed during a previous concrete job. Abel replaced the entire system, but what really stood out was how proactive he was—he fixed drainage issues left behind by the concrete contractor without me even asking. The drain tops were uneven and sticking up, so he cut them down, leveled them properly, and made them functional again while eliminating trip hazards. One of the toughest parts of the job was relocating my backyard water supply line. It was buried about 3 feet deep next to my driveway and connected with old galvanized steel piping, which is not easy to work with. Abel handled it like a pro—relocated the line into the backyard and upgraded it to Schedule 80 PVC for much better strength and longevity (instead of the typical Schedule 40 most people use). From there, he ran three separate irrigation zones throughout my backyard for proper, even coverage. Everything was done methodically and with future planning in mind. He installed a new spigot with a shut-off valve and even added a low-pressure line for a future drip system in case I wanted to expand later—something I didn’t even think about. After that, Abel and his crew installed my new sod and dialed in the sprinklers perfectly. Coverage was spot on. Another great recommendation Abel made was installing WiFi sprinkler timers, which has been incredibly convenient. I can control and adjust everything right from my phone, making it easy to fine-tune watering schedules without any hassle. I also had a small sloped hill (about 6 feet wide) covered in weeds. Abel removed everything, planted around 50 flowers, and installed a very clean, hidden drip irrigation system with two rows running about 65 feet each. Because he had already planned ahead with the irrigation setup, adding the drip system was seamless. He also installed bender board at the base of the hill to create a clean separation from the lawn. As the project progressed, I kept realizing how valuable it was to have someone this skilled on-site, so I added more work. Abel installed drip lines in my front yard flower beds and along the edge of my driveway, where there was previously just weeds and debris. He and his crew cleaned everything up, refreshed the area, planted colorful flowers, and added gorilla hair mulch for a clean, finished look and better durability. He also completely redid another front flower bed that had no irrigation, dying plants, and was overrun with weeds. He replanted it with succulents and flowers, each with its own drip emitter, and finished it with mulch so it looks clean and low-maintenance. Another great recommendation from Abel was using decomposed granite with stabilizer for a narrow strip between my backyard sidewalk and the flower hill. Now I don’t have to worry about mud, runoff, or making a mess when it rains—it was a simple but very smart solution. His attention to detail was consistent across everything. Electrical wiring was run cleanly and hidden—whether that meant tucking it along the house or running it through cracks in the concrete and sealing it so it blended in. Nothing was sloppy or rushed. Abel is also extremely resourceful. At one point, he had some leftover bender board and took the initiative (without being asked) to use it along the front sidewalk to prevent soil from washing out—just another example of how he’s always thinking ahead. On top of the workmanship, Abel and his crew were incredibly respectful of my property. They kept everything clean throughout the project and even removed debris that was there before they started. That level of care is rare. Communication was excellent the entire time. Abel showed up on time every day, gave progress updates before leaving, and walked me through the plan for the next day. It made the whole process feel organized and collaborative. It’s not easy to find someone who is this skilled, detail-oriented, honest, and genuinely passionate about their work. Abel went above and beyond at every stage of the project—not because he had to, but because he takes pride in what he does. My project took about a week, and the results exceeded my expectations in every way. My family and I are going to enjoy this yard for years to come. I would hire Abel again in a heartbeat.

Thumbtack customerApr 2026

He arrived same day for a quote and started work the next day with 2 guys. Didn’t leave until the project was finished. Everything is good professionally and looks great. Very fast and professional service. Good price.

AG Landscaping and Irrigation Services was absolutely incredible. Abel Garcia and his hardworking crew completely transformed our front yard into a stunning, drought-tolerant landscape with beautiful curb appeal. They didn’t just remove two massive tree stumps — they eliminated them entirely, roots and all. Every last piece was hauled away, leaving the area perfectly prepped for new planting. They then installed new trees and a variety of thoughtfully chosen plants, creating a fresh, cohesive look. On top of that, they resolved all of our irrigation issues, carefully locating leaks and rebuilding the valves with impressive attention to detail. They also created a concrete foundation for a water fountain, and it was done perfectly symmetrical and in a remarkably short amount of time — a true testament to their precision and skill. What stood out just as much as the quality of the work was their work ethic and attitude. They worked 12-hour days with minimal breaks and were, without question, the most pleasant and professional landscapers I’ve ever met. Abel is kind, generous, and shows up every day with genuine enthusiasm and pride in his work. Our neighbors have not stopped complimenting our front yard, and we are already looking forward to hiring Abel again for our backyard. His pricing was extremely competitive, and he was even able to secure trees and plants at a great discount. I cannot recommend AG Landscaping and Irrigation Services highly enough. You will not regret it.

Abel Garcia did a great job for us cleaning and landscaping an area full of weeds and roots. His price was reasonable, he worked quickly, and performed everything he promised. Good job, Abel.
