La Barge Landscape

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with this company. I called to schedule an estimate for grounds maintenance and sprinkler repair at my home. I was able to schedule an appointment for five days later which was great. I decided to accept the quote and called to schedule the work to be done. This is where things sort of went bad. First, they told me the workers would be at my home a few days later on a Wednesday. I called that morning and was told they couldn't come that day. They wanted to reschedule for Friday. When I called Friday morning, they wanted to move it to the next week. By that time I was frustrated and told them I would contact someone else.

La Barge took our dirt and cactus yard, and made it a lush, green paradise at an incredible price. I shopped around A LOT before hiring La Barge and they had the best price by far. Even came back out for a free check up on my sod and sprinklers when I asked. I will continue to call them out for all of our future projects.

I'm new to New Mexico and need to landscape my front yard to comply with HOA standards. La Barge Landscape gave a very competitive bid and didn't flinch when I added things on at the last minute. They gave me a price, a plan and a schedule and then stuck to it. During the fence work a couple of bricks dislodged and La Barge Landscape came out and promptly fixed it. They set the sprinklers and drip system that was already in place and took care of everything, including pictures for HOA approval. All I had to do was sit back and enjoy my new yard. Highly recommend them for landscape, flagstone and fence work. Once my pool is completed I will be calling them to put in a flagstone patio and other landscaping.

Had my backyard landscaped with sod, cement pavers poured and sprinklers installed. La Barge did a great job. Since it was April, my sod was dormant and brown, which was initially concerning, but has now fully taken and looks amazing! They guarantee to replace all sod pieces that don't take. I will be contacting them about a small piece that didn't take and will update.

They did an excellent job in my front yard. they actually did all the work that they had quoted me. they showed up on time, and the workers were friendly. after the job was completed they cleaned up everything really good. I am very happy with my front yard now. Thanks la Barge Landscape

We used this company for a huge landscaping project and are very happy with their work. We are grateful that we found them through a recommendation from a colleague. Their workers were always on time and worked really hard to do a great job. They used high-quality materials. Their project manager, Ashley, was coming on site several times a week and making sure everything was proceeding as planned and to our liking. I really appreciate their professionalism and dedication and would highly recommend them.

We hired La Barge to do a complete landscape job on our backyard. In the beginning, they were very professional and attentive. During the evaluation/quote process there was a miscommunication about whether we had a sprinkler timer on the property. We said we didn't have one and they failed to quote us for one. When this came up during the install process, their attitude changed and they wanted to charge us an additional $500-800 more depending on what type of timer we wanted. Since we had already spent over $18,000 we elected to forego this addition. However, since we had already paid them to install our drip system, it is basically now worthless without the timer to control it. There were also other issues during the install, they damaged one of our bushes in the yard and when we informed, Jack, the owner, his response was that we were lucky that's all that happened since it was such a big job. Not the response we were expecting from the owner. Once the job was completed, we were not happy with a few of the items. The privacy fence boards began to warp within weeks of the completion. They did end up coming back to remove the original boards and replace them. Once the new ones were installed, they were stained poorly and the tops of the support posts were jagged and awkward. We did eventually gets these items fixed, months later, after many emails back and forth with Jack's wife, Ruth. The biggest disappointment is our Pergola. This was our biggest and most important part of the project. We absolutely love the design and the look, except we had numerous problems with it. The first issue were the sticks across the top for shade. Upon completion it looked terrible. The boards they used were cull lumber and had a lot of damage to them. We did have La Barge replace those. They claim it was not cull lumber, but it looked like trash. The lumber they used on the posts and decorative corbels was green lumber and has now split and looks terrible. We have gone back and forth with La Barge on this topic and they have said they reached out to Groff Lumber (who they purchased the lumber from) and that is something that happens with green lumber. I'm concerned that they are using green lumber to build structures like this when they know that they end up looking like poor workmanship. We also have a big issue with tons of sap constantly dripping from the wood posts. We have to keep cleaning it up, so it doesn't stain our new pavers. Overall, our yard does look nice, but it's been a lot of back and forth and we are not happy with the way they have handled a lot of our concerns. All of the concerns that we've brought up have been due to poor workmanship or poor quality products they used. Please note that we contracted with La Barge in February and they just finished with some of the requested corrections as recently as June 3rd. They have refused to fix any of the split pergola posts or decorative corbels.

Very poor workmanship. We spent a ton of money and what we ended up with is no better than what we had before.

Unreliable! We set up a time for someone to come to our house and give us a quote and he never showed. I left 2 voicemails and never heard back. I guess they don't need business.
