  I recently put in my second stamped concrete patio using Lawngevity. I used them to put in a patio at my former residence so I knew they were great at what they do. From our first meeting to the finished product Paul and his team were extremely professional timely, and communicated with us when and how things would get done. The Lawngevity team is very straight forward and easy to deal with, they don't try and upcharge you on extra's. I trust their work and their prices are fair (especially for the quality of work they do). Looking forward to enjoying our patio for many years to come, Joe S

  If I could leave 0 stars, I would. As a small business owner myself, I understand that mistakes happen. What matters is how they are handled. Unfortunately, my experience with Lawngivity Landscaping and PJ was one of the most disappointing contractor experiences of my life. I paid approximately $67,000 in labor alone expecting premium craftsmanship, professionalism, and accountability. Instead, I was left with significant concerns about the quality of the work and additional expenses after the project was completed. The biggest red flag came on the day the Geoceramica porcelain pavers were installed. A national representative from Geoceramica inspected the project and advised that the installation method being used was incorrect. Most homeowners never have the manufacturer’s representative standing in their backyard observing the work being performed. I did. Despite that warning, I continued giving PJ opportunities to address concerns and make things right. Another ongoing frustration was communication. Whenever significant issues were discussed, PJ strongly preferred phone calls rather than written communication. As concerns continued to arise, it became increasingly difficult to keep track of explanations, commitments, and discussions because so little was documented in writing. Since completion, I have had multiple independent contractors, masons, drainage specialists, and excavators evaluate the project. Several raised concerns regarding the retaining wall construction, drainage, geogrid reinforcement, and the base preparation beneath the porcelain pavers. What was most alarming was hearing many of the same concerns repeated by professionals who had never spoken to one another. What should have been a completed project became a project that required additional professional evaluation, corrective work, and expense. The final straw came at final payment when a chipped piece of bluestone was presented for my bartop. I have photographs and video documenting the damage. What I will never forget is watching one of the workers keep his hand over the damaged corner while the stone was being shown to my wife. The defect was not obvious until we inspected it ourselves. Whether intentional or not, that moment summed up the entire experience. Any trust I had left was gone. The most frustrating part is not the money. It’s realizing that after spending tens of thousands of dollars, I needed other professionals to explain what should have been done correctly in the first place. I paid on time. I was patient. I communicated concerns. I gave multiple opportunities for issues to be corrected. If I could go back and do one thing differently, I would hire someone else.

  Stay away from this place - these are my trees planted by "Professionals" one month after, even after daily watering and heavy rainfalls this is how they ended up looking like. An actual professional confirmed that no proper soil was used during planting. This company just made the hole, installed the tree and moved on. After contacting them repeatedly for over 3 months and being passed from one person to the other, they never care to return any of my calls or answered any of my emails. They never honored the 6 months guarantee either. Additionally in order for them to come and do the work for which I paid over $1000 dollars, I had to constantly call them to get them to come. When I mentioned that I would cancel my purchase and asked for a refund, the workers appeared the following day just like magic. Don't buy from this place, unless you want to be disappointed.

  Beautiful garden center. Healthy and beautiful plants. Unique selection. Good prices. Jackie was very helpful. Get an ice cream before heading out to the nursery.

  VERY DISAPPOINTED! We have been customers for 10 years and have probably spent $30,000 over that time. The last project we did was to purchase twelve pine and spruce trees for our back yard. The prices were fair and we paid full price for the trees (didn't ask for, nor were offered, any sort of bulk discount) and also paid full price for Lawngevity to professionally install them. The trees seemed healthy and fine for a while but then a number of them started to turn brown and eventually died. When we looked at these dead trees, it seemed that they were not planted too deeply and a lot of their root balls were above ground. I notified Lawngevity of this issue to see if they would replace the dead trees. I did not receive a response despite numerous emails and calls. I eventually went into the garden center in Chester to inquire about the situation and was told that I would get a call back from the owner. I have yet to hear back after many months. Not sure what happened to these guys - they were nice and were great to work with and give our business to, but this last situation and complete lack of follow up and customer service has me scratching my head as to why they would want to lose a very good long term customer over a couple of dead trees. I am looking at doing some more work in the back yard and am now shopping around for a new nursery. I hate to give the lowest review score but don't really have any choice. Sorry Lawngevity.
