About us

Gino Panaro is DIY Network's King of Dirt. He's definitely not what you'd expect from one of America's premier landscape contractors. He's a loud, bull-in-a-china-shop kind of guy who happens to create incredible beauty. For his landscape designs, Gino doesn't use a computer or fake graphic technology. Instead, he relies on his imagination, his hands and the help of his son Lance, who works with him in a family landscape business to create some of the most beautiful, high-end landscapes and hardscapes you'll ever see.

Landscape Minor Grading or Resloping Service
Panaro LLC was nothing short of exceptional with working with Gene and Lance a pleasure. They rapidly contacted me after requesting work to review solutions for draining around my home, they came to my home the next day to quote, provided various options for me to consider, explained very clearly the work to be done and how they would be careful around pipes around the site, fair pricing, completed work quickly and with very high quality. I separately had required some special paperwork urgently and greatly appreciated they could turn this around quickly. Highest quality work, service and pleasure working with them. I highly recommend !!

Panaro industries was the best call we made yet! They have transformed our yard we thought was helpless into a legitimate oasis. From the expertise from the owner who is always on site doing the planning, and labor, to how helpful and insightful he is with his craft and experience; we are beyond our happiest knowing everything was done to absolute perfection. If we could give this a higher rating then 5 stars we would!! Highly recommend with whatever your needs are with Panaro industries LLC.

Gene and Lance were great. It was easy to schedule and set up an estimate. Gene came out, did measurements, we talked about the issues I've had with the lawn in the past and future maintenance. He is very thorough and not one of those pushy salesmen types, which I appreciate. He gave me a very fair and realistic estimate and we decided to proceed with the project, which was also easy to schedule within the next 2 weeks. On "grass day", he showed up at the scheduled time with his crew and they immediately got to work. Throughout the day, his son Lance came with my topsoil and sod delivery, started watering the first half that was put down while his guys worked on finishing the yard, and gave me more tips on watering and keeping up the lawn maintenance. Overall, I had been struggling with my backyard having nothing but crab grass and bald spots, and they truly transformed it (you can see my Before & After pictures for proof), and my experience with Panaro was great!

We hired Panaro industries from a website advertisement. Upon meeting Gene and his son Lance, we knew they were the right people for the job. Extremely personable and easy to work with , they made the processes fast, easy and most importantly , great quality. We had an under utilized , sloped, Messy backyard and after only 2 days , we have a fantastic, ready to be used, clean and organized yard. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional job with a professional price.

We couldn't be happier with the new sod installed by Panaro landscapers ,Their team was incredibly professional, efficient, and clearly knowledgeable about selecting the best grass type for our yard. The installation was seamless, leaving us with a lush, even lawn that looks amazing. They even provided detailed post-installation care instructions to ensure our new sod thrived. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch sod replacement

Panero was great to work with! They responded quickly, answered all of my questions, did the work timely and neatly, and overall came out with a beautiful product. My backyard looks entirely new! Pricing was good and Gene explained everything thoroughly. Definitely would hire them again in the future and recommend to anyone looking for help with their yards.

Gene, Lance and his crew were awesome! We had the backyard regraded and a french drain installed along the patio. From the very beginning the entire job was explained to me step by step. The guys held to their deadline and the yard couldn't be better. Highly recommend!

Gene and his son Lance are true professionals. They gave me an estimate for backyard drainage, pavers, sod and PVC fencing. The estimate beat all others. Panaro kept to the promised start date and finised on time. The job site was cleaned every day. I now have the perfect backyard for my enjoyment. Both Gene and Lance are a pleasure to deal with. I strongly reccomend Panaro Industries LLC. they will provide ecellent, quality service. Panaro will go the extra distance to see that the job is perfect.

Gene is very personable and reasonably priced. Explained every step of the way and also made suggestions on what to do next. He backfilled our pool and graded the area. We have decided to have him install sod. It has been a pleasure working with him.

I highly recommend Panaro industries LLC. Lance and his team did a beautiful job on my patio pavers. They arrived promptly in the morning and worked late making sure to clean up. Lance was extremely professional, accommodating and patient with us throughout the process. Not only was his pricing very fair, his workmanship was impeccable. Lance guided me with his design ideas and expertise. Working with Gene was a pleasure. Gene possesses a high-level of professional knowledge in his field. Gene has excellent communication skills and I was very impressed by his attention to detail. Gene is committed to his customers and delivered what was promised. Gene assured me Lance would exceeded my expectations and he did. I look forward to working with Panaro industries on my next project.

Interlocking Pavers for Patios, Walks & Steps Installation
Consider this a strong cautionary tale: steer clear of Panaro Industries. My experience with them, starting in 2020, has been nothing short of a nightmare. Initially, I hired Gino for a paver installation, paying a hefty 25% premium due to his fame, expecting top-notch quality. What a grave error that turned out to be! Gino's attempt to cut corners was evident from the start. He first charged me for removing a concrete slab, then convinced me to leave it, despite already paying for its removal, citing potential disruption to the paver installation. Then came the "custom" step, which turned out to be far from custom – just a hasty arrangement of leftover pavers to extract more money. The debacle continued with a supposed bespoke firepit and metal enclosure, which required rewelding due to poor fitting – a major concern for any future replacements. The inaccuracies didn't end there; the pavers began sinking, causing water pooling in certain areas, a problem that took a frustrating three
Response from Panaro Designs, LLC
"Ramone, I?m sorry you feel this way. When we left your project back in 2019 we left it like we do all others, completed and with a satisfied customer. If you had any issues at the time they most certainly would have been resolved. Your 1 year warranty expired in 2020 and you reached out to me in early 2023 to have it repaired. I came out to see the ?settlement?. An 1/8 of an inch doesn?t warrant a repair but out of my kindness I agreed to repair it for no charge. Even though you were very far out of warranty. After repairing the initial area you pointed out another that you were unhappy with and of course I agreed to repair that as well. After both repairs were completed years later out of warranty for no charge you choose to write this review. If there is anything I can do to make your experience better please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you - Lance Panaro"
