We had a patio installed by this company in October 2021. We had problems with them in more than one way.Before the... installation of the stones, a couple of trenches had to be dug for better drainage. Our security cameras told us that took no more than 45-50 hours between three workers, which ended up being the first problem as we were charged for 104 hours at the end and no amount of trying to reason helped Cory the owner to back down. Added to that, the drainage they put in ended up not being effective and we had to use a sump pump to deal with the overflow. Ultimately, another company had to be hired to remedy the drainage problem.One of the other problems was regarding the polymeric sand that was supposed to provide a seal between the stones. To our untrained eye it was evident from the start that the sand hadn’t set properly but we were told it was going to happen over time. We took their word. About a month later, we had a flood in the basement which we were told was caused by two reasons. One was that the sand had indeed not done its job of sealing the gaps between the stones and the other was that seals around the patio doors had been broken during installation of the stones and should have been redone. Not only were the seals not replaced by Great Lawns but it was never even brought to our attention, and therefore we had two very large surfaces completely exposed to water. When we called and explained what had happened, Richard from the company came and added some polymeric sand at which point, we thought we had remedied at least part of the problem, but we were wrong because we had a second flooding in the exact same way and we noticed the new sand hadn’t set either.We also had to hire someone to fix the paving stones on the side of the house, where the Great Lawns workers had wheelbarrowed in the new stones, causing the area to drop about 2 inches, which in turn started a pooling problem.When we emailed Cory, and explained the damage their work had caused, he replied on Feb 20, saying “this email is a little unjust“ referring to the problems as “these small issues” and that “Richard will call you early next week to go over the details of your email”. We never heard from them.A week after the last email, we gave up on this company having the knowledge or desire to remedy and contacted another company that came and removed all the initial sand, replacing it with sand that actually set this time. We were told the sand Great Lawns had used was cheap quality, inferior sand. Even though Cory denied this, the proof was/is in the end result.What Cory insensitively referred to as small issues ended up costing us an additional $10,000.read more

This is a long over due review....

Cory and his team did a phenomenal job for us. We decided to list our house on very short notice, and needed our... property completely landscaped including laying new sod and fixing several garden beds and trouble areas in the yard. He helped us make a plan for the property that would work within our timeline and budget. The crew showed up on time, were always friendly and professional, and did an absolutely fantastic job on our yard. We had some additional requests which they were quick to implement. Terrell did a fantastic job leading the work on site and went out of his way to ensure we were kept up to date and happy with everything. The project was finished on time and exceeded our expectations. Our real estate agent said every group that came through the house commented on how amazing the yard looked, and was a selling feature for the buyers. The only downside is that we only get to enjoy the beautiful yard they built for a couple of months before we move! Thank you so much to Great Lawns & Beyond for doing such an amazing job and helping us sell our house. I highly recommend their services.read more

Great Lawns and Beyond has been fabulous to work with. The team is always professional and truly cares about the... quality of service it delivers to the client.

My garden is looking wonderful this Spring and much more cohesive. I am excited about my garden again! Thanks ... It’s July 2021 still loving Great Lawns and Beyond! My bi weekly maintenance package is great. Basically if I have thought of something that needs doing they get to it before me . They know the garden really well now and know what I like about my garden so we make a great team.read more
