With limited ability to travel during COVID, we decided to finally invest in some landscaping and…read morehardscaping for our small yard. We got estimates from over half a dozen contractors and L & S was not only very competitive, but could start sooner than everyone else. We ended up doing a half paver patio, half artificial turf for the back yard which included some retaining wall work. They also installed a gravel path to the back yard with paver stepping stones. The work was done in 5 days and his team was very courteous and friendly (especially to my 4 year old daughter who would wave from the window). As with most projects, issues arose, but Santiago was very transparent with them and provided solutions to get the job done right. L & S did such a good job that the neighborhood is considering them for future work and regular yard maintenance.

We have never reached out to this business or provided them with our contact information, yet they have been contacting my partner daily to push services. It appears they are actively scraping public government or property records to cold-call local residents.

Despite making it clear that we are not interested, the invasive disruptions do not stop. This behavior is predatory and incredibly unprofessional.

We hired Josh, The Goat Lady, to take care of our back yard in June 2025. The blackberry and ivy…read morehad taken over our fence line and up our border trees. It was overwhelming. The cost to have humans do it was WAY out of our price range. After reviewing the goat rentals in our area, it looks like most won't even come out for less than half an acre, and we had less than that. Josh didn't have a minimum. He also came out much sooner than any of the humans could. We only waited two weeks from the first phone call to goats on our property. Josh has been caring for animals for many years and seemed to know his goats pretty well. He was friendly and personable. On set up, he cut the higher branches down so the goats could get to them. He set up an electric fence around the area we needed cleared, then he let the goats in. They got to work right away. You need to know that goats are ruminants. They will eat eat eat, then sit down and chew their cud. There was a lot of sitting, but then they'd get up and go back to work. They ate fast, and rested lots. We got 22 goats and 4 sheep. They all had individual personalities and interpersonal relationships. It was SO fun to watch them. You also need to know that goats poop. There was poop EVERYWHERE. I had planned to use it for fertilizer, but I didn't get to it before it all disintegrated. It just fell apart into dirt and I only see a couple little pebbles here and there where they pooped on the gravel or something solid. The most important thing to know is that you are dealing with living beings and you have to be flexible. Sometimes the goats finish a job early and are ready to go to the next job sooner than expected. Sometimes they need to go home and rest first. Sometimes they are excited to get in the truck and sometimes they want to hang out in your yard a little longer, so they drag their feet. When hiring goats, you have to be flexible with your time frame. Josh was very courteous and was not on the phone when he was talking with us, but that meant he didn't call the next job earlier to give them a better idea on his ETA. He also pulls a BIG trailer full of goats, so if he gets stuck in traffic he is really stuck. So, be flexible and be patient. Pros: They were really quiet and friendly. They were efficient and we really loved having them. Our yard was picked clean! They were inexpensive; a fraction of the price we got quoted from everyone else. Cons: It required flexibility. Thankfully, I work from home and could totally manage it. But if you don't, it will be tricky. We had an incident where a couple goats got out. A neighbor dog, who hadn't heard them the first day, sniffed them or heard rustling the second day and freaked out. He barked and barked. It scared the goats and they stampeded. Four made it over the electric fence before the neighbor got her dog quiet. Luckily, they were herd animals and did not go far. They stayed right on the other side, eating our grass. We were able to unplug the fence and coax them back inside. It was super easy. We enjoyed the extra interaction, but to some it would be an inconvenience. Overall, I would do it again in a heartbeat. 9/10 Highly recommend.

Sorry to say, but I had higher expectations based on my initial meeting with the owner but was…read moredisappointed with the outcome and the process. There was not a lot of clarity about timing and I'd have to check in constantly about what time he'd be there, what time his helper would be there to help prep the land, how much the goats could do etc. Plus every time we would show up, the goats and sheep (yes, 4-5 sheep) would be lazing around. They only started working when he arrived. When asked about it, he'd say sheep eat more but when doing research, I read they would eat grass which we didn't have. We ended up paying for 2 more days than we should have due to miscommunication about timing on the weekend. Be careful. He doesn't put anything in writing and he's really expensive for the result.

Another tree was leaning out over a neighbor's property, and the team was able to remove it without having any part of the tree fall outside our property. Tom and his crew, including the office personnel, were attentive and sincere. For example, a snowstorm forced the delay of one of our projects, and the firm worked with us to reschedule on one of the few days that worked for us.

As others mentioned, they were able to work on the paver project way ahead of schedule and we were glad for that. Their crew were courteous, respectful of the neighborhood, tidy with their work, professional and did a fantastic job. They were quick to ask questions if they had any doubt about what we wanted done or how to handle drainage, etc. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending them for your paving work; their work is top shelf, quick, reasonably priced, and well done. We'd call on them in a second IF we had more paver work on our small property. Needless to say, we are recommending them to our friends & neighbors (who watched the project over a few days and also commented about the beautiful, final product), who have been chatting about needing some paving work done.

The previous company left me with a front hard full of boulders that literally gave me anxiety every time I opened the door. Along came Rick. He said he could move a few rocks and put in some plants and make it look like we had intended. The job quickly got underway as he rearranged the "rock field". Next we worked together to decide what kind of plants I was looking for and how much maintenance I wanted, and the overall look I desired. He would leave and within hours be back with a truck load of plants and get to work planting them. Rick and his crew worked tirelessly until the project was done, and then circled back to make sure I knew how to water, fertilize, and care for everything. It's been eight months and everything looks amazing. Rick doesn't upsell you, he tells you honestly from the beginning if what you're envisioning might not work or he offers a variety of options from lower to higher cost. He keeps you informed of any changes along the way. He also really knows plants. He's worked in the industry for a long time so he's very knowledgeable re: what plant will work in which area, how soil and drainage will affect the plant, and creating a balanced design. We just kept saying "wow" every time we looked outside. Rick was so fantastic we immediately asked him for help with our backyard later in the summer. Again, he and his company were on-time, polite, and courteous, which were important as we have children and pets running around. The transformation of our backyard from a patch of scraggly grass to what it is now was tremendous. I even asked for a water feature midway through and Rick didn't miss a beat having us select one within our budget and selecting the best location for it. The new lawn, the planting beds, the staircase, patio and fountain are incredible, and now we step outside and feel we can relax in our backyard. If you have a landscaping project in mind, Gray's Landscaping is your answer. His honesty is refreshing in a business full of upsells and markups, and his expertise and work ethic show in every project. We've referred Rick to friends and family and everyone has been thrilled with his work.
