Armet's Landscape - Atascadero, California

Found Rick through the yellow pages and he answered my call same day. I was on a time crunch and he was able to fit me in a week earlier than expected which worked out amazing. Him and his crew were punctual and orderly. They got the job done in one day; fast, clean, and efficient. Thank you Rick and crew!

I want to thank you for the terrific lawn I have now. I am so excited - especially about the wire under the grass. I can already tell the squirrels are not digging it - littere!y. Your crew is great and did a great job. So happy I had you do the job. I will be calling you again.

We hired Armet Landscaping to perform a makeover on a portion of our property. I was hoping for some nice spaced plants with a variety of textures, colors and heights, however, what I got was very lackluster, un-imaginative and poor quality plants. Since we paid him in the near $10,000 range, we expected something for that value, however, it was way, way, way below expectations. He was going to leave some rotted old boards because he didn't want to grade the area around the boards, but luckily I had email proof that removing the old boards was part of the deal. I really had to work to get even semi-close to the value we paid.
We were new to the area and should have asked around before choosing Armet. I understand now that the name isn't all that respected in the landscaping community.
Now, in the summer after the "re-model" some of the very weak plants have revived, but 1/2 are just sick little twigs.
Definitely NOT worth the money we paid.

I have had Rick Armet do several projects at our beautiful home. Armet’s team has done pavers, artificial grass, scrape the weeds on a 75 yard long gravel parking area, plant beautiful roses, install irrigation, re-do the pool calking , stain and seal our pool deck and landscape our front and backyard yard. Over the years that we have worked with Armet’s they have all been courteous, on time, cleaned up nicely, and all projects have been completed to more than our expectations. I recommend them without reservation.

Armet constructed a paver patio for me without a proper foundation. Then, in another job, with the promise to fix the patio afterwards, drove a 6000 pound tractor over the patio. When the patio damage showed up after several years, in court, Armet made up a story that the damage was due to rotting tree roots. Seek any other company for your landscape needs.

Rick's company is amazing. He was very responsive to all our questions and he and his employees did a wonderful job designing and planting our front, back and side yard. In fact, we are hiring him again to do additional work!

If I could leave 10 stars for, A Team Fencing/Armet's Landscaping, I would.

We had 200ft of wood fencing damaged in storms. I called, and within 3 days the owner, Rick, came out to survey and had presented a written bid. Not only was pricing fair, but he was able to do the job around my very busy schedule.

His fencing and painting crews were punctual, professional, polite, detail oriented, and completed the job exactly when Rick said they would. The fence is sturdy, level and straight. They hauled away the old fence, and didn't leave one scrap of wood or debris.

I can't imagine a project going any smoother. We're happy, and will be calling Rick Armet for all our future landscaping and fencing needs.
Highly recommended.

I spent 80k on landscaping with Rick. It was a huge mistake.

i had to replace sinking pavers, drip lines, sprinklers and have plumbing fixed going from the street into the house and sprinkler system all because of blatantly incorrect installation. Plants went in without amendment and holes that barely fit the root ball causing many to die or have stunted growth. They placed all two gallon emitters and didn't consider the type of plant or area that it was planted in. They placed the irrigation box above ground without asking me and then said it was too late to change it. They placed the fire pit key for the gas valve in the area the flames come out of. Rick told me it was too difficult to drill a hole in the blocks for the fire pit to put the valve in, but when i had another landscaper look at it they laughed at that explanation. He left exposed PVC in the sun without wrapping it. They cut posts for a planter and planted them in the ground cut side down meaning untreated so they would rot. The only way I figured that out was when we temporarily had to move them.

Even his employees were difficult. I watched one of them try to straighten a nail on my cement sidewalk with a hammer. He got upset and later called me names in Spanish thinking I didn't understand. I waited over a year to write this review.

When I mentioned issues to another landscaper, they said they had spent time fixing issues caused by armets in the past. Every time I would ask Rick to fix something he would get so upset that I got tired of it and just paid him so we could move on. He even tried to tell my neighbor he would charge them less and asked them not to tell me.
