Gardener reviews in San Juan Capistrano, California

Benito is always ready to help with any additional yard needs from planting new landscape materials, installing or repairing lighting, pressure washing or fixing any sprinklers…. He shows up with a smile! Great guy and company to work with.

BONITO GARDENING - DON'T HIRE! UNRELIABLE! we set up an appointment for Bonito to do work for us. We called Bonito the morning of the afternoon he was scheduled to come to our house to confirm he was still coming. When I told him who I was, we got disconnected. I called him back immediately, and he didn't pick up and I left a voice message. I also texted him, and he ignored our attempts to contact him. Finally, after waiting hours, he replied to my text requesting to reschedule the following week. We agreed.

The following week, once again I called Bonito in the morning that he was scheduled to come to our house to work. Bonito confirmed he would be coming at 2:30. When Bonito did not show up at my house, I called and texted him and got no reply.

I want to warn other homeowners NOT to do business with BONITO GARDENING because he's not reliable. It's frustrating and disappointing that you cannot rely on Bonito to show up after he agreed to do the work. I wasted 2 weeks waiting for Bonito because he seemed like he was sincere and wanted the job.

He kept lying and leading me on that he would be coming to do the job. I gave him every opportunity to tell me he wasn't interested in our job. That's no way to run an honest gardening business. Another Bonito customer who also had problems with him told me that some of his good reviews are fake and also written by his relatives. There are so many honest and capable gardeners available, I suggest you hire another Gardner and don't take the chance to hire Bonito because he is unreliable! I hope taking the time to do this review helps others. Bonito doesn't even deserve 1 star for this review. DON'T RECOMMEND HIRING BONITO GARDENING!!

outclass work

Benito is very conscientious and very responsive

Made an appointment with Benito for the next day btwn 12-1:00. No show, no call; we called him and he said he would be there in 25 minutes ; again no show, no call. Called to make sure we weren’t mis- communicating and he hung up on me!!
How very unprofessional !!
I wouldn’t use this guy, we found someone else, Antonio’s Gardening.

Spectacular work! Would highly recommend Bonitos!

My yard always looks good. Regular mowing, trimming, fertlizing and adjusting sprinklers as necessary.

I hired Benito and his crew to cleanup front yard, backyard, a slope and trim 4 trees in my newly purchased property whose landscaping was not taken care of for the last 2 years!. They came on time, needed very little instructions and in just a day completed the job and left an amazing result. Straightforward, professional , easy to work with, competitive prices. Highly recommended.

I've worked with this crew for years and not only do they do a great job, whenever I need additional work they do it without questions and without an issue. Highly recommend them as gardeners!

Benito is fantastic. Really knows his stuff. Thank you. Erik

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely incredible work. The lawn hadn’t been treated in almost a year, and it was overgrown with brush and weeds. They completely transformed the space—cleared out the overgrowth, cleaned everything up, and made the entire area look fresh and well-maintained again. You can tell they take pride in their work. Professional, efficient, and worth every penny. Highly recommend.
