A few mention litter flying from trailers on highways and trucks exceeding posted speeds while towing. Positive accounts highlight completed installations and maintenance rounds that met expectations for commercial clients.

Work shows up as responsive to HOA and building managers with quick answers on landscape options and reasonable pricing for the scope. Crews cover San Diego commercial accounts and handle requests tied to water management and design changes. Reviewers note prompt assistance when issues arise and consistent presence on sites managed for associations and hospitality properties. Service stays tied to the listed commercial focus rather than scattered residential calls.

“Would not recommend this landscape company to anyone. Ruined my expensive flowers which took years to grow. I would consider finding some people who are aware of the difference of pruning and removing roses. Gracias pa nada , thanks for nothing .”

“Trashing or highways not cool. I saw huge plastic piece fly off their trailer. They throw trash in the pick up or trailer and don't care if it flies out onto our highways. I did catch up to the driver and mentioned it. They didn't seem surprised or appologetic.”

“I have had the pleasure to work with Benchmark Landscape for a little over 8 years now. They have been great to work with and are very professional and courteous to the HOA's I currently manage. They do a great job and the Association's that we partner with are very happy with their great work!”

“My homeowner's association contracted with Benchmark for their landscaping needs. They were coming in after a long relationship with the previous vendor who were not delivering what they were contracted for. We have worked with Benchmark less than a year and they have failed to fulfill their commitment. They did not consistently keep up with the trimming and cleaning of the community. At best, the mowed every visit and did not clean up. Our weeds and bushes have grown so high that they cover the sidewalks and the walkways. We expressed our concerns several times and were met with excuses for why they were not doing their basic job, what we paid them for. There were lots of areas where there wasn't irrigation therefore killing any plants, grass and bushes and it was never brought to our attention that anything needed replacing. They never took responsibility or accountability for their failings nor corrected them, just had excuses for why things weren't done and at one time even blamed homeowners' complaints. The management staff and executives have been very unprofessional and very challenging to work with. They are overpriced for the job, lack of it that they do & above i”

“Benchmark is one of San Diego’s premier Landscape installation and maintenance companies. Benchmark has a proven track record serving Homeowners associations, commercial, hospitality, and industrial clientele. The Mohns brothers have done a fantastic job operating this organization. Quality work product, at a competitive rate. If you are a building owner, Asset manager or HOA board member, you should highly consider contracting with this organization.”

“I live in a Condo Complex that they are in charge of. We have a LARGE number of plants that have either died or are in the process of dying. Their write up about the quality of their work is mostly a joke especially when it comes to irrigation and keeping plants alive and flourishing. Many times they short us on hours and man power. I'm retired and love plants and their beauty. I f you are the same, I would stay away from this company”

“Why is this guy with the truck #400 driving 75 plus mph while towing a trailer on the 94 when the max speed limit for all vehicles when towing in CA is 55mph? Bad business”
