Outstanding. The work was well done and on schedule. They were able to take my very basic and limited instructions and come up with the exact design I wanted but didn't know how to describe very well. Kurt was a real pleasure to work with; he was very professional, thorough, communicated with me regularly, stayed on top of the project every step of the way, and truly took ownership of the job. He even came to the house when another company was removing a large tree and roots to make sure THEY did their job right and didn't cut any corners! I thought that was amazing. The crew was very professional and did high quality work. I wish every company was exactly like Great American Landscapes, or else I wish that Great American Landscapes did everything (not just landscape) because this company is the best I've dealt with. If I'm going to do work on my house and they happen to do that type of work, then I am definitely going with them.
"We very much regret that our relationship with this client has ended. Our success is and will always be predicated on providing outstanding services to our clients. This philosophy has proven to be successful during the 32 years we have been in business, as we have enjoyed thousands of very satisfied and happy design build and maintenance clients. Unfortunately, sometimes clients expect additional services at no cost, and sometimes we have to make the difficult business decision to say no."
Kevin arrived the first day to listen to our goals and to share his initial thoughts on what we might want to do. His initial thoughts were great and creative, giving us much optimism to hear and see what he proposed more formally a few days later. At this meeting, he came prepared with a rough sketch of his proposed redesign of our back yard with price ranges for the key options. He also shared with us the sketch for a different design that would cost less money. He did not push us at all toward any of the higher priced options.
Once we made our decisions, he provided us with more detailed plans that we shared with our HOA. After we received approval from the HOA, the work started and continued throughout the 6 days with precision, quality and consideration. It was amazing to watch GAL's crew of 3 resources working to transform our backyard, under the direction of a very experienced foreman. The attention to detail and professionalism exhibited by these people was at a level that I had never seen before in contractors. It is clear to me that this is because Kevin develops his employees very well and takes care of them as if they were members of his own family.
Throughout the process, I had total confidence that GAL and its crew knew exactly what had to be done and that it would done very well. I highly recommend this company.
was left with a large expanse of stone which made for an uninviting, drab-looking back yard. Kevin came up with a marvelous
scheme to soften the place up, and it turned out to be even more beautiful than I could have imagined. The stonework is exquisite, the
design superb, and his men were complete pros at what they do. I especially appreciated all the personal attention I received, for example, when Kevin spent a couple of hours shopping for the right pots with me and did not even charge me for his time. Finally, the overall price, which I thought was fair from the outset, only came in a few dollars above the estimate. As I told him, this was one of the few times I actually was glad to pay for the work that was done. .
