Jose and his team always did a great job taking care of our yard every week. We also had them do all of our landscaping and lay new sod. Jose set up a sprinkler system and personally made sure it was looking great. This helped us so much as we were putting the house up for sale and we weren’t there to take care of…

Alba consistently left tractor skid marks all over our lawn. They were notified 3 times and we were told the crew would be more careful.

Alba consistently left tractor skid marks all over our lawn. They were notified 3 times and we were told the crew would be more careful. It’s very simply a rush to cut and leave rather than caring about their customers lawns. We understand when the ground is wet there is more chance to spin the tires, but they left marks everywhere they turned the mower. If you use Alba, be prepared to have your lawn destroyed.
