Brian and his team completed the landscaping project within a few days of my inquiry. The work was completed in one day and they did an excellent job. The planters are now under control and look beautiful. I will be having Brian come back regularly for maintence.

Brian put in some concrete mow strips around my back yard. They are the best looking mow strips I've ever seen.

Brian promised a lot but did not deliver overall. His employees broke some irreplaceable patio furniture. Additionally, many of the plants he picked for landscaping died within the six month guarantee window that he promised, but he did not replace them even when I asked repeatedly with photos of dead plants. Some of the other plants he picked were also unsuitable for the location they were planted in (e.g. sun plants for shady areas). I would not recommend his service to others and was overall disappointed with the quality of work he provided.
Response from Donahue's Landscapes
"These are the facts. I made it abundantly clear to Jody that her six-month plant guarantee would be extended far beyond the six months, due to the Covid year with the plant limitations and many closed nurseries. When I recently re-text her and offer to replace the dead plants or compensate her accordingly. She replied that she wanted to no longer work with me no further. Now regarding her patio furniture. When helping her at her request as an additional favor moved the patio furniture to the front of the house. One of the pieces was accidently broken. I was disappointed that it was accidently broken and did compensate her based on the agreed financial compensation discussed. So, I am a surprised she would bring the furniture up as an issue, because the furniture problem was rectified. Finally. I am congenial and professional with a calm spirit solving any problem that might arise."

Brian never properly prepared the ground. Weeds took over within days. Plants died. Brian came back and said he stands behind his work but I have not seen or heard from him in two months. All the groundcover is dead now, too. He put in a rock river with no weed barrier. I am not happy and neither are my gardeners. It has been an expensive and disappointing nightmare.
Response from Donahue's Landscapes
"I have attempted numerous times to contact Joan who is my client to no avail so I can rectify the problem in addition I advised her professionally that if she did ground cover that she would have some weeds come up through the ground cover because there is no weed fabric when our clients request ground cover. I always go above and beyond to serve my clients and give all of the clients the benefit of the doubt when there is an issue. I am here to serve all my past clients and all of you new perspective clients. Lastly, I am here to serve all of you and accommodate you professionally with congenial kind attitude."

Sod Installation
Brian and his team did a great job of installing St Augustine grass on my back lawn. Took 2 days, one to prepare ground and one to install grass, very professional and clean, no mess left after install. Brian was great advising me on best options for grass, sprinkler repair and timing and aftercare of sod. Would highly recommend this professional team.

Worked with Brian to redesign front yard and side yard with another design company. Brian was very easy going, listened to what we wanted and came up with a great redesign within our budget. Brian and his crew finished the job ahead of schedule and we are very happy with the outcome of our new clean landscaping. Highly recommend Donahue Landscapes to anyone looking to do a project small or big. Thanks again!
