I was skeptical about using Mark (I had free and paid designs from landscape companies), but am…read moreglad I had him draw up my backyard landscape plan. I will likely use him for my front yard as well. Mark asks the right probing questions to understand the reason behind my vision before suggesting a design. I am detailed oriented and had a specific vision of what I wanted. His questions helped me recognize my wife and I had conflicting ideas. He then helped come up with a balanced design that met both our visions. We will tweak his plans a bit, but now the design elements have purpose behind them instead of just adding a bunch of trees and shrubs that we "think" will look nice. If you're taking on a landscape project, I would recommend starting with Mark and then working with landscapers to implement. His fee is worth it in comparison to a landscape implementation cost to ensure you start with the right plan.

Ultimately a decent outcome with a nice plan to consider for our front yard face-lift, but could…read moreprobably have received similar advice from a knowledgeable person at a good local nursery. Biggest issue with the session was Mark's constant reference to cost and condecending tone when providing 'advice' about working with a HOA, which suggested he did not assume we could afford to remodel our home. This caused me to suspect he is not accustomed to working with people of color, but in the spirit of experiencing a teachable moment, if someone agrees to pay you over $200 above your typical fee to get you to travel outside of your normal geographic range of services to draw up a plan for a renewed front yard, it is probably safe to assume they understand the concept of a HOA and can afford to buy the desired plants and hire landscapers.

My landscaping knowledge basically stopped at knowing I needed new sod, the old bushes removed and replaced, and some kind of erosion control along the side of the house. Adam, the owner, came out to give me a quote and immediately put together a thoughtful design plan--plants, rocks, mulch, sod, and everything else--while staying within my budget. Hardworking, detailed, friendly, and organized barely begins to describe Adam and his crew. Windy, the co‑owner and office manager, is just as impressive: easy to reach and quick to respond. The Lawn Squad truly rescued my yard and brought it back to life.

Jim Pollock interviewed us -and designed the master plan for our review. The execution of the plan far exceeded our vision. Our new deck is gorgeous- and we have doubled our living and entertaining space. Jim and his team are creative with the vision -and very detail-oriented as they execute the vision to perfection. They are simply the best and we recommend them highly.

I contacted Hamilton and met with him a couple of years ago regarding a drainage problem. He seemed…read moreknowledgeable and suggested several alternative approaches to remediation. I asked for a proposal. He told me he would send it the following week. When he did not get back to me, I called him back and later sent emails, widely spaced over a couple of months, but he ghosted me, giving no response to polite messages I left. Simply telling me that he was not interested in taking the job would have been appropriate and appreciated. Instead, he belittled me and wasted my time.

Once the site was cleared, the team and I reassessed our plan with the natural topography of the slope to confirm details and preferences. Everything fell into place seamlessly from there.

A week (and thousands of dollars) later I knew he was struggling because nothing seemed done so I started looking for a different landscaper. Hector was quick to respond and came to the house on the same day. He gave me his initial thoughts and the estimate came the following day. He and his crew had the bulk of the work done in a day and went the extra mile to add finishing touches that improved on what I was envisioning. The end result was someth even better than I envisioned. He also cleaned up all the fallen leaves (unfortunately that's a daily struggle as you can tell in the pictures).

I recently used them for a project. The end result ended up pretty good, but I feel like there were…read moretoo many speed bumps and a lack of communication along the way. The workers were great, and worked hard. The manager, Sean, was very nice and knowledgable, but definitely seemed spread way too thin, which led to portions of the project being miscommunicated or missed, and having to spend extra time to get them redone. Our project consisted of replacing a couple areas of grass with artificial turf, another area with Zoysia sod, replacing some walkways, adding some landscaping, and trimming some trees. All of that was eventually done, but the turf ultimately had to be torn up, reflattened, and nailed propertly as it was ripply/bubbly at first and coming up at the sides. Some areas we had requested turf were missed at first due to confusion, lack of communication. I think they just need some better oversight by having more management resources or fewer projects so that the proper amount of time can be spent. Like I said, ultimately it ended up pretty good and the price was decent as well.

Even after a phone call to David, our lawn is now going on 3 weeks with no service. Last year, they missed doing our lawn for 5 separate weeks during the summer and early fall. I have text messages and dates to prove it. It's a never-ending battle to get our lawn mowed, and it shouldn't be this way. When the customer knows every person in the company, it's a problem. We've NEVER had this problem with another lawn maintenance company. Based on the reviews, it appears that project work is their priority and weekly maintenance is fit in IF they have time. This is no way to run a business! I guess your guaranteed monthly payments from weekly maintenance customers is not important to the business. Save yourself many headaches and go with a company who values your business! **They asked me to take down this review last year, and I did after getting the issues resolved. Or, so we thought. It's May 3rd and they have skipped doing our yard several times this year already.
