Miguel Hernandez Landscape & Maintance

Miguel Hernandez never showed up to mow my lawn and trim the sidewalk edges. He agreed to show up the next morning after I shook his hand. However, he did not show up nor did he contact me. I contacted him at noon and Miguel said he will be there in 20 minutes. He also mentioned that he will show up at 2 or at 3pm the same day??! I waited all day for Miguel to show up and was getting frustrated by the hour and impatient with his bad time management and lack of communication.
I contacted Miguel the next day, and asked him if he can commit to a time when he will show up. He said that he will be there, but did not provide a time frame. I basically said that he lost our business since he doesn’t communicate/​follow-​up with new customers, bad time management and overbooking.
Too bad for Miguel, since I have a big project plan to redo our entire front lawn that will cost over $ 3k.

One of the MANY sad things about selling my home and leaving San Bruno is that I won’t have Miguel Hernandez and his crew taking care of my big front and side lawns anymore. I had to fire my previous lawn guy several years ago for having a crappy/​aggressive attitude and I called Miguel right away. Many of my neighbors use his service and they love his work, as do I. He comes twice a month (always, no excuses) and is very reasonable! Thank you, Miguel, you have been wonderful.

I have rented a home with a large front and back yard that has been cared for by Miguel and his guys for over ten years and he knows almost everything about plants, trees and lawns. We have a bi-​weekly set-​up and so sometimes his guys (very nice guys) come by and blast through the yard and are usually done in about 20 min … & everything looks great. Miguel still comes by every month or so to check on things which is great cuz I can ask any questions or point out anything I’d like done, etc.
When we first moved in — the back yard was like «The Secret Garden»… roses, wild flowers & weeds etc. all jumbled up and crazy (even a huge anthill!)… it was wild back there! — So I got to see Miguel come in with his team and clear a large area and put in a brand new lawn and a sprinkler system … the whole process. He saved the roses and planted them where I thought they would look good and the yard and still looks great today (13 yrs!).
Sometimes we have big projects like trimming the fruit trees or cutting the huge climbing roses (they are beautiful but they cover trees and would take over the world if not kept in check ;) and he lets me know when they are coming so we are not taken by surprise. I love to garden so there are areas that he makes sure are not touched so I can plant small plants and know they are safe. There have even been times that I have needed help moving something heavy in the yard and it’s always «no problem» with a smile… and once he even stopped by with his huge hauling truck and picked up some things I needed to take to the dump (broken planters etc.) and his guys loaded it up… no charge… as a favor.
Over the years Miguel has come to be a friend, he is a sweet family man that works terribly hard and has a huge heart… and I wholeheartedly recommend him… (finally… I have been meaning to do this Unilocal for years now)…

Based on Eric’s review, I called Miguel and he came over that afternoon to look at my yards and give me an estimate. He has a good knowledge of the various trees and bushes and how to maintain them and he listened to what I wanted from a yard service. In addition, he’s charging me less than my previous service! Give him a call for clean-​up, sprinklers and new lawns, too.,

When I called Migel H, he couldn’t talk due to the fact that he was in his car driving. I think that’s reasonable, seeing that no one should conduct business conversation with such a distraction. A few ticks later he rang me back and we got to talking about a schedule. The day was set for Thursday morning. I wanted to lawn to be completed before the weekend, seeing that I had my BBQ the same weekend. So… Thursday rolls along and no Migel… no phone call. At this point I figured he stood me up. oh well.
The very next day (Friday) without a notice, Migel shows up around noon. He informed me that his truck broke down on Thursday and could not make it. Understandable. I guess. So he got to work on my lawn that day.
The workman ship of the lawn is good. Pulled out all the weeds, mowed the front and back yard, treated the grass and cleaned up (even swept up my paved backyard).
The price for my lawn is $ 45/​month which isn’t bad for bi-​weekly visit (this includes labor and treatment/​conditioning). Communication could have gone better but I’m satisfied. Overall, Migel good. The work can speak for itself. I would recommend him to anybody live around Daly City.
