Gargiulo Landscape

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The primary goal was to block exterior lights to facilitate star gazing, with general privacy being the secondary goal. Jen was immediately attuned to my goals, as well as aesthetic -- naturalized, with native plants as much as possible. They planted 6 trees and 13 shrubs in a large bed, including some rocks. Everything was done with great attention to detail, both technically and aesthetically.

Came out beautiful!

Sent two employees to plant the tree. Overall they were fine and did a good job, but when I tried to get him to plant 2 more trees he never communicated. When he responds it goes well, otherwise no one calls with details. Quoted a previous job and was very high. Still trying to get someone to plant the trees. Too frustrating to deal with these kind of people. He doesn't do any work, just sends others. Would rather deal directly with the person who does the actual job.

Project went very smoothly.  The team was very nice, polite, and professional.  Joe the owner was very responsive and addressed all questions and concerns quickly.  The fireplace is the center piece of the backyard and everyone who comes to our homes notices it and loves it.  I had several add-ons as the project progressed and all were met.  The project turned out exactly as we wanted.

Provider was prompt, friendly and professional in the scheduled visit,  and in the visit he provided some input and ideas.  
However, all we received after the visit was a estimated quote for landscaping services.  The quote was beyond our budget, and we did not receive a "drawing" or plan or followup advice.  We did not followup with the company.  Many landscaping companies will provide the same quote for free, so in this case instead of "saving" us money, The Angie's List coupon cost us extra.  Lesson Learned.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal. I didn't get too much more about the plan detail. They were definitely very expensive. He was supposed to send me something else and he did not. They stopped by to evaluate my yard soon after but the estimate took forever. In fact I went to a couple of other people before they even responded. It took a long time for them to get back to me. The response time was pretty bad.

They did a great job and we could not believe how fast they completed our project.  The work was well done and the guys were patient with making the design look perfect.  We were extremely impressed with the entire team.  The price was fair given the great attention to detail the team paid.  It is high quality work and I will recommend them to anyone who asks about our beautiful new patio and firepit.

Responds quickly.  Will do shoveling if required.

Joe and his crew did a wonderful job executing our vision for an outdoor fireplace.  Each stone was artistically placed and the construction is top notch.  It is absolutely beautiful.  Joe also did a little additional work in preparation for the next step in our project.  I would highly recommend Gargiulo Landscape.

A barn stone retaining wall in our yard, installed 7 years ago, was sagging in a long stretch. It appeared to be a problem of inadequate drainage control on the uphill side. After notifying us in advance, the owner, Joe Gargiulo staged a small backhoe in our yard, something we never thought possible due to garage, trees, hedge.  They brought the machine down to the wall using heavy rubber pads to protect a stone walkway.



They excavated a trench behind the wall, setting the back dirt aside.  It was determined that the original contractor had not put much gravel under and around the perforated drain pipe.  The next task was to remove all the large stones, down to the base course, and re-set them back slightly into the hill.  Workers in the back of a small dump truck parked on the street and across from a 5-foot wide hedge, shoveled coarse gravel over the hedge and into the backhoe bucket.  At least 24 to 30 inches of gravel filled the trench to provide the necessary drainage situation when they finished.  The trench then was backfilled to bring the grade to the top of the stones, which had not been the case previously, hoping that more run-off will go over the wall.



Everything was cleaned up to satisfaction and the machine removed without incident.  The total time for the work was less than five hours, a project that would have taken days manually.



It wasn't until about two weeks later that Joe Gargiulo came to our door with the invoice.  The amount was less than the proposed amount.  He said it went faster than he thought so he shared that with us.  I have never had this experience!  Everyone on the crew was pleasant, answered questions or explained activities.



When Joe brought the invoice at the end of the day, he was relaxed, came into the kitchen and we talked for over 40 minutes.  Pleasant, friendly, well-presented young man.

It's just a gorgeous and nice work. I would recommend him over and over. He came on time. He cleaned up perfectly. I couldn't ask for a better worker. They were very prompt and professional.

From estimate to completion the job was handled professionally.

I was very pleased.

They are awesome. The landscaping turned out beautifully. They are easy to work with. They are very reasonable priced. They are creative and the end product turn out excellent. Joe, the owner, is great.
