We first worked with John Russell Landscape Architect when we were trying to control rain water…read morerun-off that was turning our wooded back yard and swimming pool into a muddy mess after every heavy rain. This happened because our yard was at the bottom of a slope that collected all of the rainwater from six neighboring properties. John developed an attractive and very effective solution to our problem that created two stunning lawn areas and that completely protected our pool. This substantially increased our property value and turned an eyesore part of our property into an area we thoroughly enjoyed. We worked with John again after we moved to a new more urban setting where we again encountered water run-off problems following several what our city engineer called '100 year rains'. John again developed a solution that controlled the water while enhancing both our flower beds, vegetable patch, and lawn. John has a great aesthetic sense and a unique understanding of the power and value of rainwater. Although he can be busy, requiring his clients to wait for their turns, he's accurate in predicting when he'll be able to do the work. His cost estimates are detailed and very accurate. And his team of workers do a terrific job and show great respect for your property. When they're finished, you'll be ready to entertain the same day. He stands behind his work and has been very quick to come and deal with a couple of minor issues that developed several months after he completed the initial project. He's our go to resource for all landscape problems.

They were able to quote a very similar price as another tree removal service but Grays offered a little more than the other service. They did a great job but my only complaint is my mother's HOA was breathing down her neck to get the debris cleared and she was having a hard time getting them to come out and finish up the job, and HOA's will charge residents huge fees for things like that. One reason for having them come out and cut the trees was to keep the HOA happy lol! Thankfully after a few phone calls about a week later they were able to come out and finally finish the job today. It's just important to take those things into consideration like HOA communities when taking these jobs because you can put your customer in a sticky situation.

This was the worst decision we ever made. Our gardens have been beautiful for years. (We have young…read morekids so we are organic as to not use chemicals). We have never had an issue despite this modus operandi and have been long term organic garden-ers. We ordered the zoysia from Simply Sod and it came with an infestation of Asian Garden Beetles that have devastated the zoysia as well as our crops. I had never even heard of these before and they are nocturnal so it took some time to figure it out after morning after morning coming out to see devastated crops and flowers. The customer service rep I spoke with was smug and nasty. Unwilling to help or even empathize. I would NEVER purchase from this company unless you want your garden devastated.
