Here's my personal experience with this company as a former employee. I went in for interview was…read morekept there for 3 hours. Mike calls me back a few days later and offers me a job. I agreed to show up 8/27/18. I worked 2 days for Mike Robbins the owner at Lawns R US on 8/27-8/28/2018. I was never paid for my work as an employee of his on supposed payroll. It's been almost 3 months, No check or mailed paycheck or phone call to come pick it up. I left after 2 days of work because of how he talked to his employees and he didn't believe his 4 employees telling him that the driver didn't hit anything. I also got bad vibes when I didn't receive any paperwork to sign about starting wages and job title. I wasn't going to keep working for someone who verbally said $12 an hour and not produce paper trail. Now I have to file a claim with labor board because my stomach feeling was right to quit my job at lawns r us. So after posting a review Mike magically found my number to issue my wages. Took almost 3 months. He said the check got returned with no evidence and put different working dates.

We were guided to focal point through frustration and need. Although there are several landscape…read moreyards near us...either the product was dirty or inadequate or we were made to feel second fiddle to commercial landscapers. So far we have been back to Focal close to ten times in the last two months and will continue in the future. Everyone there is awesome...but our favorite is Logan. What a guy...energetic, helpful, kind and professional. So, if you are looking for great landscaping materials at competitive (and better prices) and folks who care, go to FOCAL POINT...and no, we are not related but we would adopt Logan if we could.

I will start by saying I am devastated to have to give such a poor review of a local company…read more My family and I have always used Focal Point. In the past few years something has changed. I had family members stop using them as they claimed the yards delivered were consistently short. Due to their customer service and family nature- I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. Long story short- I ordered 3/4 "clean" black chip in the quantity of 2 yards. It showed up and while it looked rather blue and light- I was told it was black chip rock. Despite my reservations I accepted it and moved on. A mere 4 days later- I ordered an additional yard of the exact same product to the front area adjacent. It showed up and was a COMPLETELY different color. We are talking a 30-50% variance in color, not a natural variance as they kept reiterating on the phone. Upon checking their website- we were absolutely delivered sierra blue rock the first go around. Rather than owning their mistake- I received a call back from the owner insisting he was right and giving me the riot act of excuses. He also mentioned another house he had botched with 5 yards of material and told me "the bad review wasnt worth fixing it." This was after speaking to the wife and repeatedly being asked "well what do you want us to do about it." I finally got the husband to agree to give me the weekend and "drop off some buckets of the lighter color to mix in if your still unhappy" I gave it the weekend, and rinsed the rock several times as instructed by the owner despite ordering "clean" rock. It did nothing, its absolutely the wrong rock. Upon calling- I was now told despite the rinsing and giving it the weekend and texting pictures of what is CLEARLY a different rock. A refund was the best they would do and I needed to drive down there to get it. Not only that, but the delivery would NOT be refunded, because "that happened." No buckets of rock, no replacement yard, no offer to pick up their mistake. In fact, during the refund the owner said "I really dont think i should do this" to imply they still werent wrong. I really hope YELP allows me to post a photo after this to show you all how distasteful the lack of ownership was. USE SUTHERLAND DESPITE THEIR FLAWS.

The job involved a very big, unlandscaped backyard that needed a lot of love. Bonafacio checked in with us daily; sometimes multiple times a day to make sure everything was going as scheduled. They landscaped with crushed rock, wood chips and larger rocks to create dry creek beds and laid out our beautiful sod lawn, complete with sprinkler system. They also planted trees and numerous plants with drip line irrigation. They enlarged our existing patio with matching, stamped concrete. They are also on retainer to mow and edge both of our lawns, which they did a wonderful job on. We appreciate all they did for us!!!

I never heard from him again even after calling a second time. I can only assume that the job was too big for him to handle or he wasn't interested. In business, communication is very important.

They put in plants we didn't even pick out. We were told them would put down weed preventer before finishing our front yard and it's now full of weeds. We had to reach out to them most every week to see if they are were going to show up for work that day. Very frustrating and we ended up going with someone else to complete our front yard who had it done in two weeks. Wouldn't recommend them unless you don't care when the work is completed.

The prices are spot on and affordable and they do an amazing job.. year after year I will continue to use this company and their rates are so good. You should call them first....

I'd call them first they are not only affordable, but can save you money when something is damaging your property and very easy to trip on... they really are super affordable and do an amazing job maintaining the trees in your yard that can get out of hand and destructive...

I recently came across a public Facebook exchange involving this business and found the response…read morefrom the page highly unprofessional. When a customer or commenter pushed back lightly on a political claim, the business replied with personal insults about the person's appearance and weight. That kind of language has no place in customer-facing communication. It reflects poorly on the nursery, damages trust, and makes potential customers question whether they want to support a business that handles disagreement this way. Suggestion: Keep public comments focused on the topic, stay civil even when challenged, and avoid personal attacks. Professionalism in online interactions is part of the customer experience. A simple, measured reply would have been far more effective and would have protected the business's reputation. --- This stays factual, points out the specific problem, and offers a clear improvement without insults or exaggeration. You can copy and adjust the tone if needed.

I had them come out yesterday to cut down 15 trees, trim other trees, clean up old, fallen limbs…read moreand haul away large piles of leaves and horse manure. They had come out the afternoon before to give us an estimate, after having just spoken to me on the phone that morning. They gave me a reasonable bid and offered to do the work the very next day. At the agreed upon time of 8:30, they promptly began the work. They did everything they promised and then some. I was raking more leaves on my property and they told me that they would do it for me. They not only completed the contracted work, but used a blower to clean all of the leaves around our chicken coop, trees and driveway, then raked them up and hauled everything away. My husband and I were working on moving top soil to our front yard by wheelbarrow and they offered to use their Bobcat to distribute the dirt for us at no extra cost. That kind gesture saved me a lot of time as well as my back! I highly recommend this wonderful family business to everyone who needs tree service and yard clean-up work. Diana F.

Very unprofessional, inconsiderate and rude!…read more I made two appointments within a week with this woman, Olga. She didn't bother to show up for the first one, didn't text or call to apologize. In spite of that, I contacted her again and rescheduled. Same thing again, no show, no text or call. That's about as unprofessional as it gets. After reading some of the one-star reviews here, I guess it's a good thing after all.
