With a backyard that had been overrun with weeds for years and a falling apart retainer wall,…read moreBrian, the landscaper, and his crew have been coming to my yard to give it a detailed deep cleaning, pulling up all weeds, leaving native and thriving plants, turning areas with overgrown bushes into a refined bordered garden, mulching and creating a peaceful sanctuary. In addition replaced my retaining wall and took ivy off a big oak tree. Provided additional plants creating a border garden along side of the retaining wall and providing grass seed to help my bare green space turn green. Mowed my now green lawn as part of the whole package. All done at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend Yard by Yard Makeovers.

The cost was comparable to other proposals we got, but the care they took was what makes me recommend to anyone. And why I'll use them again for the next phase of our landscaping!

BUT: Maintenance of our yard has been at best mediocre since the pandemic and the ownership has been unresponsive to our concerns. If calls are returned at all, they are returned verrrrry slowly (think weeks and weeks rather than days.) I'm now interviewing other landscapers to see if there is a better fit. It's unfortunate that Wray Brothers allows maintenance service to go downhill for long-time customers.

Mulch had to be reapplied as it was too thin. Took down a trellis with mature vines on it and cut them all down.

I will never use them again or recommend them.

I contracted with Mike at O'Grady's for substantial landscaping of my backyard. The design and the…read moreproposal stages went well, and in March 2018 I had high hopes that I would have a nicely updated backyard to share with family and friends. Unfortunately, it all went down hill from there. First, they put me off until the end of May to actually schedule and perform the work. Because of the heat, 30% of the plantings died within weeks. A lot of my carefully planted grass was destroyed by the laborers - with no replacement. Further, all of the promised weed removal that was performed was done poorly - and within weeks all of the beds were full of weeds. A dry bed for drainage was simply laid as a square instead of following the contours of the slope, making it look both odd and ineffectual - doing little to halt the erosion it was meant to arrest. While I was able to correct some of the problems myself, the "warranty" on the plantings was worthless - the pictures I sent weren't even acknowledged much less new plantings provided. Any emails or phone calls were ignored. All in all, it was almost a complete waste of money and time. POSTSCRIPT 4/12/2019: After a constructive conversation with Terry O'Grady, who was mortified by the work, he met with me in person to investigate the issues and to put together a plan to address them. The next day he had a guy here to replace the dead plantings, fix the drainage bed, and seed the damaged areas of the lawn. I feel much better about my experience now, and if the personnel changes he has made are effective, then you trust them with your lawn.
