  After we had met with numerous drainage / landscape companies soliciting proposals to correct our drainage / landscape issues, Mario came out from Gambo Scapes and listened carefully as we stood in our yard together recounting our drainage issues during and after torrential downpours. Mario mentioned a couple of options, but then he took the lead in making a strong recommendation as he detailed exactly what he would do. He suggested installing a dry creek bed to funnel the heavy volume of rainwater that had previously been eroding down hill in our backyard into newly installed drainage boxes which would collect the rainwater and deposit it into an underground pipe system which would carry that water out to the street while also tying in multiple downspouts to capture and carry away rainwater from our roof. Mario won our trust and confidence by demonstrating his experience, by articulating his planned solution so well, and Gambo was the only company to proactively include in their proposal a pallet of new sod and x # of bales of pine straw like they would want in their own yard! When Mario’s team came out to make it happen, his team lead demonstrated the exact same experience and confidence as he articulated in advance what his team was going to do exactly as Mario had described it. The Gambo team then got to work, and executed their plan flawlessly in about one day. The team lead checked in with me a few times along the way describing their progress and time-line, and before I knew it they were finished, cleaning up perfectly after themselves. Once Mario came out to inspect their work at the end, I asked if they could possibly expand the project by slightly increasing the size and shape of the dry creek bed. Mario confirmed they could do it the next day, and he also recommended adding a small strip of Zeon Zoysia sod to round out completing the project. We hadn’t discussed what kind of Zoysia variety I had, but because Mario knew what it was and that matching the exact variety of sod was critically important, he made a point of proactively reassuring me that he was matching the exact variety of Zoysia. Gambo is trustworthy. They also added a thick, healthy layer of additional pine straw to put a bow on the project at the end like they were really proud of their work! I watered the new sod just as Mario had emphasized, and it has successfully taken hold! We love the aesthetic look and feel of the dry creek bed; the beautiful, healthy sod which has eliminated the only remaining weak spots in our lawn and the proven functionality of the underground drainage system following a few good rain storms! I couldn’t be more pleased, and I highly recommend Gambo Scapes!

  New Review for new service: On October 13, 2026 Gambo came out to do landscaping work in my front yard. They pulled out some boxwoods I wanted removed. They also cut down the rest of the bushes as instructed. Then they cleaned out the area of old debris. They planted six new dwarf azaleas and then mulched the area. They did a great job! My front yard looks fantastic, I’m very satisfied with the results. I highly recommend them for your landscaping needs. Update 9/23/26: We spoke with Mario in June and told him we were willing to wait until September to see if the dead spots filled in. He agreed and said not to worry that he would make it right. I felt good that he was willing to wait with us and make things right if need be. The grass has mostly filled in all the dead spots. There’s just a couple small spots that we decided are not worth doing anything about it. So I’ve changed my stars to five for his willingness to work with us. Update 5/19/26: Mario sent the subcontractor over today to look at our grass dead zones. He said hydroseeding is a slow process and that he believes it will all be filled in. He said to give it another month and if it's not filled in by then, they will be willing to fill in the spots with more seed. I changed my stars to 4 because I believe Mario made a true effort to address my concerns and took action to try and mitigate the problem. Due to recently having to replace our septic drain field, we hired Gambo Scapes to do hydroseeding on our back yard and side of the house. Mario was very professional, quick to respond to all of our inquiries and gave us a fair price. The company he contracted with came out to hydroseed on April 24th. We’re not happy with the end results. These pics taken yesterday, May 15th shows that grass is growing but there are many dead spots where there is just bare dirt. As you can see in the pic where the guy was hydroseeding, it looks like he did a light coat. We’re not experts so we don’t know if a light coat is all that is needed, but nonetheless the end result shows too many bare spots. We liked Mario and would have given him 4 stars. However, they don’t guarantee the work, stating they can’t guarantee it because they have no way of knowing if we watered the grass as directed. The fact that grass is growing verifies we are indeed watering, so I had to bump down one star, as now we’re left having to spend more money in the fall to add more seed. Would we hire Gambo again in the future? Yes, so long as the work is actually done by Gambo and not a contractor we would try them again. Perhaps if they do the work themselves they will be more willing to stand behind their work.

  I had a lot of water collecting in my yard from my A/C unit, leaving the ground soaked and muddy. I called Gambo Scopes and hired them on the spot to fix my drainage issue. Mario and his team did a fantastic job! Today, there’s no standing water, and my grass looks great. I’m very happy with the results and highly recommend their work!

  It was a great experience working with Gambo Scapes for the first time. The work was done in a professional manner by hard working crews who knew their trade. I appreciated the interaction with the office and crew leads who kept me informed along the way. I would highly recommend Gambo Scapes.

  From the first phone call through the completion of the work, Gambo was exceptional to work with. We had a pea gravel path built in our backyard to help element drainage and address a muddy yard that was safe for dogs. Messages and questions were answered promptly. Our desired changes were addressed and fixed immediately. Each employee we interacted with, was respectful. We love the addition to our backyard, and would work with Gambo again.
