Vilchez Landscaping, Inc.

Vilchez Landscaping is a Medford outfit homeowners call for two different kinds of jobs: routine yard care — shrub trims, spring and fall cleanups, mowing — and heavier hardscape work like rebuilding stone retaining walls and restoring patios. Owner Jose Vilchez shows up by name in review after review, and the company self-reports 11 years in business and Spanish-speaking service. The thing that comes up over and over is how fast the company moves. Reviewers repeatedly describe a callback within an hour of requesting a quote and Jose or his crew on-site the same day or the next morning — a 2022 review said a quote arrived just 30 minutes after the initial call on a Friday, with the crew starting work Monday at sunrise. A 2025 review described managing a cleanup from abroad and getting before-and-after photos texted over so nothing needed an in-person check. That responsiveness pairs with a consistent standard of cleanup: reviewers across several years use nearly identical language — on time, efficient, thorough, site left neat when the crew left. The bigger jobs stand out too. A 2021 review described the crew rebuilding a crumbling 40-foot stone retaining wall along a driveway and a second, 60-to-70-foot wall holding back a steep hill, plus repointing and resealing a chimney on the same visit. Another 2021 review described a full restoration of a decade-old patio and a new six-foot walkway, with the crew keeping to the schedule they promised. On Angi the company carries a 4.9-star rating from 42 reviews (93% five-star) and an "Approved" badge for maintaining 4.5+ stars throughout its time on the platform; Google shows the same pattern on a smaller sample. There's little to flag. The one real reservation in the written record is a 2023 review that called the price "pricey" while still rating the job well — worth a quick gut-check on estimates for a bigger project, but not something anyone else describes. Given the range of work — from a same-week hedge trim to a multi-week stone-wall rebuild — it's worth being specific about scope and timeline when calling, but the deep, consistent record here makes that an easy conversation to have.
