Get matched with top landscapers in Gainesville, VA

"After getting several estimates from different companies, we decided to go with Nova LC. What set them apart was their knowledge of working with degraded land, which was exactly what we needed for our backyard pool installation. Other companies didn't seem as experienced in handling our specific situation, but Nova LC understood the challenges right from the start. Our project was huge—completely transforming our backyard with a pool, deck, and landscaping—and it took about 9 months from beginning to end. I had a lot of ideas about the design, and Tony, the owner, was incredibly patient and attentive. He didn’t just nod along; he gave thoughtful feedback and offered professional suggestions to improve my vision. It felt like a true collaboration, which I really appreciated. As with any big project, there were a few bumps along the way. However, whenever something came up, Tony and his crew worked quickly to come up with multiple solutions. They didn’t just push us toward one fix; they gave us options and explained the pros and cons of each, which made the decision-making process easier and less stressful. Installing a pool and deck is a major undertaking, but Nova LC made it as seamless as possible. Their attention to detail, communication, and ability to adapt to any issue really stood out. If you’re looking for a company that delivers high-quality work and uses high quality material and truly cares about the end result."

"We were looking to have sod put in our entire backyard, along with underground drainage and a sprinkler system. Additionally, we wanted our front walkway redone. We researched several companies and ended up going with Landscape Concepts of Fairfax. My wife had worked with Dale previously and so we felt we could trust him. Dale came out to assess our situation and provided us with an estimate that was in the ballpark of what we were looking to spend. We made a few adjustments and then signed the contract. The work actually went very well and we were very happy with the work when it was complete. Our backyard looked great and our front walkway was very nice. The sod was installed in July and by September there were many areas in the backyard where the sod had died and the netting was exposed. We began reaching out to Dale asking when this would be addressed, as it is under warranty for 2 years according to what we signed. This is where things started going downhill. The responsiveness was not very good. When he did respond he would say that he was going to address. That started in September. Long story short, it was not until April 2019 that SOME of the sod was finally replaced. But Dale chose where to put sod and where to seed. I am writing this in June and the new sod still looks good, but where the seed was planted, the yard still looks like crap. And last night (June 4th) I received an email from Dale saying that while their product is under warranty, the reason our sod died was because of all the rain we had last year and that he has already provided us with a full pallet of sod at no cost. He is now willing to split the cost of any additional sod I would like. Wow, what a nice guy! We spend over $20K with this guy, of which about 1/3 was for sod, and we end up with parts of our yard looking worse now than they did before the project. I don't know how that is considered good customer service, but I will recommend Landscape Concepts of Fairfax to NOBODY! Do not use this company! I can't emphasize that enough...DON'T USE THIS COMPANY! They will take your money and leave you with something that is worse than when they started. I am still holding out a little bit of hope that Dale will make things right, but unfortunately he has my money already and so has the upper hand here. It really is ashamed but I guess I learned my lesson."
