No, not a coincidence-Ruben is my father’s cousin. Even without that, though, his nature walks are incredibly entertaining and informative. Study up on plants if you want to impress him.P.S. His partner Nelson is a *big time* Hollywood designer, just credited for In The Heights. Squee!

I was there with my girlfriend and her kids today to get some plants for the backyard.Great service, helpful staff!

Although I have not worked with Ruben Flores personally I thought I would leave this review anyways after an encounter he had with my father and his colleague. Ruben Flores is a liar and manipulative. He got into contact with my fathers colleague in which he offered to complete a job together in Shady Canyon if my father would be willing to provide an estimate for the job and the customer approved. Thus the agreement was that if the customer accepted the estimate then the job would be split among Ruben, my father, and his colleague. The customer accepted to work with them, however, Ruben decided to no longer split the job with my father and his colleague and pocket all the profit himself, thus, breaking the agreement that they originally had. He used and took advantage of both my father and his colleague. This review was mostly based off of his character and work ethic. Although my father who has YEARS of experience in landscape says his work is terrible and not what you would expect from an “award winning landscaper.” The star was honestly a courtesy considering you have to click on a star in order to write a review. He might want to re-evaluate his title of a landscape designer if he feels the need to leach off of actual professionals and small businesses in order to adequately perform a job that he is clearly not capable of doing. And in case he sees this....you know what you did Ruben.

Lots of different kinds of plants! Beautiful place
