Fantastic Experience! the level of professional and honesty is something we don't see these days. The guys showed up earlier than expected and completed the job in 1 day! We would certainly use them again for any future Landscaping needs.Posted on Jarvis RoqueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The exterior of our house looked so decrepit that it would make one question if anyone even lived here. Then, along came Pedro and RVG. On day one, the team cleaned up the property thoroughly and discarded miscellaneous debris that had been an eyesore for years. On day two, RVG removed the old "grass," leveled the area with fresh topsoil, and installed beautiful new sod. It's now a joy for me to look outside and I actually find myself excited to invite friends & family over more often. Moreover, our toddler can now run around the yard safely! Pedro and Carlos and the whole team all worked quickly, respectfully, and efficiently. I can't speak highly enough of RVG Landscaping. Top notch work and they do go above and beyond. Highly recommend!Posted on Robert A.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend RVG. Carlo was great to work with and he and his crew did an amazing job with our garden project. Their price was actually reasonable in comparison to others (not even in the same ball park) and although we didn’t have a huge job to be completed, RVG treated us like we did. I would strongly encourage you to give RVG a call. You won’t be dissapointed.
