When I was ready to move forward, everything was seamless. He sent over a contract and scheduled the work right away. He confirmed his team would arrive at 7:30 a.m. and even texted me when they were on the way. They actually arrived early!
The team worked efficiently and completed the job in just over an hour—faster than expected—and everything was done exactly as agreed. Jair, his wife, and their crew were professional, organized, and clearly take pride in their work.
I would absolutely recommend Jair and his team.

Cervantes Landscaping Services installed a French drain and an irrigation system in our backyard and trimmed some trees for us as well. They provided reasonable pricing, great communication, and fast and organized execution. I would strongly recommend Jair and his team for anyone in need of landscape or irrigation work. Great experience all around!
ROBERTO ARGUELLO7 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews ROBERTO has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Working with Jair was a wonderful experience.
We had a severe drainage issue on one side of the house. A flower bed and shrubbery were actually above the foundation which was allowing water to come into the house. We suffered water damage to one wall and the hardwood floors. We were desperate to remedy the problem especially after Hurricane Beryl.
Mr. Cervantes responded quickly and was actually the first to respond to my inquiry. He came out the same day to examine our yard and provide us with a plan and an estimate to solve the problem. His estimate was very reasonable and he gave us a date that his team would be able to start and complete the job.
Jair communicated with us throughout the process to ensure we were aware of the work they were doing and to ensure we were satisfied.
Jair and his team did an excellent job, paying attention to small details that really make a difference in how your yard looks.
Jair Cervantes and his crew went above and beyond
I highly recommend Cervantes Landscaping!
