Mine was the dreaded broken glass on a piece of framed artwork. Located on the island in Venice, there was easy parking on the street right in front of the shop. The woman working at the counter was attentive and gave me a price to install a new piece of glass right away. She said it would be done today or tomorrow. They over delivered and had it done in just a few hours. That's great service. Not only did they replace the broken glass at a reasonable price, but they mounted the picture back in the frame, just the way it was. I walked out of the shop with a "like new" picture frame for my art wall. I hope I don't break any glass in the near future, but if I do, this is where I will go for a new piece of glass. Cheers!

I recently overhauled my whole yard including landscaping, landscape lighting, sod installation,…read moreand irrigation. I struggled with contractors and getting the things that I wanted at times, but contacting Nite Scenes was by far the best thing I did throughout the process. The owner was on time, and I was thrilled with his overall design, quality of lights, the fast installation, and overall professionalism he displayed throughout. It's kind of funny, but despite all the improvements I made with my yard, I hear from neighbors about the lighting more than anything. It seems to be just the right amount and adds an elegance to the yard at night...Everyone raves about it. As someone who used to work in the construction business, I know how hard it can be to find quality contractors, but Nite Scenes continually surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend Nite Scenes for your landscape lighting needs.

Green Topps Landscaping & Tree Work deserves 100 stars. It is very difficult to find a landscaping…read morecompany that works with large organizations as well as individual homeowners. Due to the constant rain, our plants began to look like Jack and the Beanstalk. Green Topps came to our house in May and did all of the trimming and cutting. Our landscaping looked fantastic. Brendan Duffy, came to our house again and we scheduled for August. Brendan is great, very knowledgeable, professional and personable. He is a wonderful resource and very responsive to questions and emails. Today they sent a crew headed up by Chris, with Juan and Sergio. Chris takes the time to listen and is very professional. I have plants that are extremely sentimental to me (they were originally grown by my mother over 70 years ago) I spoke to Chris about these plants and he and the crew were very careful not to cut them. Chris, Juan and Sergio worked incredibly hard and removed all of the debris. A special shout out to Juan. When the crew was done, we walked around the property. We noticed that the reeds by the seawall still needed to be cut. Juan immediately said he was going to get the clippers and he took down the reeds. As tired as he must have been, Juan went the extra mile for us. Chris, Juan and Sergio are very professional and really know what they are doing. Prior to the scheduled date, Green Topps has a utility company come and mark where the underground cables are to avoid any potential damage. I can't recall any other landscape company doing that. You cannot find a better company than Green Topps to transform plants and trees that have gone completely out of control due to all the rain, into a gorgeous, manicured landscape.

They claim to be Aborists but it is almost as if they have no training on how to trim a "palm tree"…read moreat all. Granted they worked hard, but the owrkers do not know any better. It looks like some amatuers came through and over trimmed an entire neighborhood and left just a few palms standing up on top of each palm tree, which any aborist will tell you is not good. Palm trees are different from Deciduous and Coniferous trees. Older fronds provide nutrients as they go to yellow then brown. When trimming, you are to leave anything at or above 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock alone. Not only do these older fronds continue to provide sustenance for the new fronds, but as they wilt, they pull the base of the frond away from the tree, creating space for the tree to expand and grow as thick as the stump below it. By ridiculously over cutting, these palms are now "growth interrupted", and will never grow out properly. The tree is not going to get much taller, and any additional height will be string bean thin at the top. Now most people giving good reviews have no idea how palms grow and are just happy they will not have to deal with the palms for a few years, because it has been so over trimmed! They are conditioned to see these over trimmed palms as "neatly trimmed" when actually the growth is being permanantly stunted, and the top of the tree will stay thin, because cutting the young fronds to soon stops the expansion and strangles the neck of the tree. Normal trees will grow back if you cut below the "branches and leaves line". Did you know if you cut the top leaves completely off of any palm tree, it dies.....we all see a very tall stump on occasion....it is from over cutting.
