Had Gardens By Oz back to my house to complete the backyard landscape renovation. Could not be happier! Gary explained which plants/flowers should go where and also put together the largest and most beautiful flower pots flanking either side of my patio steps. Can’t wait to use GBO for the next phase!

"We were very excited to get the opportunity to design, install & maintain the 3rd phase in your landscape plan. Looking to the next phase!"

We would highly recommend Gardens by Oz Inc. Our project was to hire someone to design and plant a LARGE colorful flower bed in our backyard. The owner of the company, Gary, has extensive knowledge of plants and shrubs relative to the area. He helped us select items that would give color to the garden year-round. His prices are reasonable, and the items purchased for our garden were healthy and colorful. The crew of Gardens by Oz were always on time, hardworking and polite. Our backyard flower/shrub garden includes flowers, shrubs, bird bath, bird feeders, and cobblestone edging. It looks AMAZING and we are impressed with the job they did for us. Larry and Gwen Kight

Gary is fabulous. Although it was a small job he kept me informed of his schedule. His word was meticulous. Trees are replanted mulched and watered. He even saved my bulbs that were in the way. He also offered to spray weeds and moved brush to the street. Gary did ALLTHIS for an incredibly reasonable fee. I look forward to using his services in the future.
Response from Gardens By Oz Inc
"Project was straight forward. Customer had everything ready, including hose to help in the transplanting of her trees. Glad I could be of help."

Excellent. Best gardener/landscaper anywhere. Every garden project is ongoing for him. One of his clients told me they were so impressed that Gary would come back and check on his project periodically after its completion. He is passionate about what he does, shares his knowledge willingly, and takes pride in his beautiful gardens.
Response from Gardens By Oz Inc
"I'm so happy you're pleased. Look forward to working with you on future projects."

Gardens By Oz was WONDERFUL to work with. Gary came over for an initial consultation and we discussed yard goals and budget. He then presented us with a rendering showing how the yard would look and what plants/bushes he planned to use. The main feature is the fountain he installed for us. HOLY MOLY! He and his crew showed up when promised. We will absolutely use Gardens By Oz again when we renovate our backyard!
Response from Gardens By Oz Inc
"There were many components to this project. Really enjoyed putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Appreciate your understanding as to how this project was going to be developed. We designed & installed several different disciplines into the front garden. Look forward to doing the same in the backyard."

Gary and his team were extremely professional and very responsive. Gary gave me great ideas for an entire new landscape design at my house and worked with me to provide plants/flowers that would work with the sunlight my yard gets. When the work was complete, we did not have rain for nearly a month. A few plants ended up not surviving and Gary replaced the ones that didn't make it. That's customer service right there!! He's also really great about providing tips on how to keep the yard looking it's best.
Response from Gardens By Oz Inc
"Enjoyed working with you & seeing how your garden has progressed over the past 3 months. You had a basic idea of what you wanted. It's not necessary, but helpful when a customer has ideas on how they want their garden to look."

My wife and I couldn't be happier. We were looking for a professional who could update our landscaping that was initially done many years ago. Gary listened to what I was looking for and very quickly made suggestions and offered advice. Once we agreed on a plan, the work was started within a reasonable timeframe, completed quickly and the work that was done was excellent.

"Thank you for your review & looking forward to doing maintenance work in the future."

Gary was excellent. Polite, professional, friendly. He understood what I wanted, asked questions for clarity during the walk-around, and found a problem I'd missed (a large branch down in the azalea patch) and gave me a price for that as well. He arrived the next day with a team, and the whole job was done in a few hours. His prices were competitive, and they cleaned up the area completely.

My wife and I met Gary a couple of weeks ago and we were immediately impressed. He had a great knowledge of all bushes and trees and a great vision of what to do with our front and back yards. He and his team worked for multiple hours on multiple days pruning landscaping and controlling the yard. The end result was fabulous. The job was priced extremely reasonably and it is apparent Gary and his team care about the current job and staying in touch to make sure it stays nice into the future. We are giving the most positive recommendation possible.

Everything went perfectly well. I highly recommend Gardens By Oz. Gary and his crew have been caring for my lawn for seven years now. They are excellent, reliable people with integrity. They also help with clearing leaves from gutter pipes, and removal of some overgrown trees. If Gary sees anything needing attention, he lets me know immediately and takes care of it. Highly professional, pleasant and caring company with attention to detail. Simply the best!

lousy and wouldnt recommend or use them again. They did an awful edging job and left everything between the fence posts looking awful and growing upright which is the point of why we hired them, didnt clean up a pathway like discussed and left trimmings EVERYwhere which stayed dead on the lawn for weeks in clumps, should have just went with someone else. For 400 i expected better and feel like i was gypped.
Response from Gardens By Oz Inc
"We take a great deal of pride in the quality of our work. The job was clearly outlined by the customer & we performed the work in the morning after 2 days of heavy rainfall. We accomplished all of our objectives except the weeds & grass were very tall & difficult to remove in a clean manner due to the wetness. The yard had not been maintained in several months & some of the clippings & debris stuck to some of the surfaces around the areas where we were edging. We spent extra time blowing these surfaces off & felt that we accomplished leaving the property alot better looking than we found it. However, I can understand from the customer that there was some clippings & debris left on the fences & sidewalk that we could not remove. I wish the customer had spoken up or raised a red flag that the quality wasn't what she expected. I take responsibility & am very sorry the customer was not satisfied."

Gary is wonderful to work with and has great attention to detail. He came over and walked thru the process with me and I could tell this is his passion. He was kind, professional and great to work with! His team was efficient in every way. 10/10 recommend! My front and back garden look incredible.

"I really enjoyed renovating a very unique & vintage garden that someone had planted many years ago & our crew was excited about bringing it back to life. Thank you for the opportunity!"
