GEM Landscaping has been caring for my townhouse lawn, front and back for several years now. They are an outstanding company with highly professional work always being performed. Gio, who runs the company, has assembled exceptional, proficient, experienced crews, who are so pleasant and friendly to work with. GEM Landscaping treats your lawn like it was theirs, taking special care to never damage any existing plantings. They are always accommodating to our last minute wishes; planting, relocating, and removing shrubs along with any other landscaping needs. The finishing touches include the meticulous laying and spreading of the best mulch we have ever seen or bought ourselves. Gio's wife Carolina (who is the Office Manager/Receptionist) is a delight to converse with and effortlessly handles all the coordination of your landscaping appointment times. This is the best family-run business we have ever worked with and it shows. I highly recommend using GEM Landscaping for all of your garden and lawn needs. You will never be disappointed. read more

These folks are my go to landscapers for routine lawn care, lawn clean up, and tree removal. They also planted a new garden while I was away on an extended trip. read more

GEM Landscaping trimmed a massive Cherry Laurel bush in my backyard and did a very good job. The team showed up on time, shaped the bush nicely, and cleaned up all of the debris. Their team was very responsive and professional, as well. read more

The crew and Geo were great! I would recommend them to my friends!! The mulch, edging, weeding and trimming were outstanding.

First I'll start with the positives - GEM landscaping folks are friendly and are reasonably priced. The one major issue they have is poor communication. They'll change the date and time they're coming with minimal or no notice, won't discuss important details regarding their recommendations, and will make last minute changes without confirming with you that they're okay. Some examples: -GEM mowed my lawn weekly for several months. On multiple occasions, they changed the mow date on me last minute (moving it up a day) with less than 20 minutes notice. That didn't give me enough time to clear the yard of dog toys. On one occasion I had to scramble to reschedule a meeting with a client because of this. -I hired GEM to build a fence around my HVAC unit and stressed multiple times that it needed a diameter of at least two feet around the HVAC unit. When they told me they'd have to move it "a little" closer because of utility wires, they never said it'd be less than a foot from the unit. I had to spend $360 on modifications to what was originally a $580 fence to get what I needed because of that. -Speaking of wires, I hired GEM to install new sod around my back door and add an extension to a drainage pipe. They didn't call 811 before they dug and cut my Verizon internet wire. I couldn't mow my front lawn for 3 weeks because I could have cut the temporary wire, and as a remote worker, internet is non negotiable. -We booked the sod install in March, and Geo waited until it was done, in late April, to mention I needed a sprinkler system to water it daily for 3 weeks or the sod would die. I tried to be understanding and water it by hand, but I'm disabled, so lifting a heavy water jug repeatedly is hard on me. (I couldn't use a hose due to poor water pressure, which I would have had a plumber fix in advance if I'd known it'd be needed) -When I mentioned I was upset about having to scramble to buy the sprinklers (when if they'd told me, I could have had everything purchased and ready), Geo asked me how much I spent on the system, and sent me a Zelle for that amount. At NO point did he suggest that he would be taking the equipment I purchased, so I assumed that this was a discount for the headaches and frustration they caused me. Nope. They took all of my equipment and I had to call to have it returned. If taking the equipment was the plan, they should have mentioned that - I would have turned down the money. I wasn't upset about the cost, I was upset about the lack of notice. One component of the system was returned missing the back part to protect the batteries, making it useless. Geo said he'll return this piece if he finds it. I bought a replacement, and it's just a little plastic part, but it still shouldn't have happened. -I asked GEM about installing a sturdy metal extension to a drainage pipe. Instead, Geo suggested putting the pipe unter the sod. Because they broke my wire, we couldn't put the sod there until Verizon fixed the wire. Once that was finished, they came and finished the pipe, and put it under SOIL, not the sod that they proposed. More frustrating calls to get that fixed. For context, this sod was installed because my dog would come in with muddy paw prints after rain due to the bald spots near the back door. Guess which pup immediately dug up that soil and dragged mud inside? -It took multiple requests across weeks to get a finalized proposal for the work to be done and the cost. Only one change was made this entire time - to remove a suggested change from what was proposed. -They left food wrappers and other trash in my yard. I have a trash can in the yard that was far from full, but instead they just left crap on my lawn. Ultimately, the jobs did get done correctly, and they were quick to make fixes when I complained. But these problems should have never occurred, especially not so many of them. I think GEM could be a great company, but unless they fix this fatal flaw, I could never recommend them. read more

Our home was "landscaped" last summer, but after a year of growth and no attention, it looked more like a jungle than suburbia. Geo and his crew did SUCH a great job taming the overgrowth - he pulled out several dead shrubs, cleared ground cover so it isn't mixed with weeds, shaped and trimmed bushes, and mulched everything to ensure that the effects of the hard work last a while. He had a carpenter build a ramp into the house so my wheelchair-bound family member can visit safely. When we need the work maintained, I know he'll be prompt, professional, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend him and his team! read more

GEM Landscaping did an outstanding job for our family. Our front back and side yards look amazing now that they trimmed, pruned, edged and mulched everything. They also power washed the patio and installed canopy lights which give the space a magical feel! Geo is thorough, responsive and everything you would want in a landscaper. He also did not try to upsell me either but instead offered more efficient and less expensive alternatives to some ideas I had. We will definitely recommend GEM as they are my go-to landscaper from now on. read more

Based on the excellent Yelp reviews, my husband and I recently called on GEM Landscaping Services to perform multiple landscaping undertakings at our townhome, from Spring cleanup to terracing, plantings, patio repair and sanding, and finally laying mulch. Geo, the owner and supervisor, met with us shortly after our initial email request, and we were immediately impressed by his extensive gardening and landscaping knowledge and friendliness. We decided unhesitatingly to employ their services. Their crew of four men and Geo (who supervised the entire project from start to finish) were reliable, conscientious, and very hard-working. We thought the project would take around three days, yet they finished in one day. The finished product was amazing. Our front and back gardens have never looked so beautiful. I will post before and after photos as soon as the weather becomes warm and our flowers and shrubs have begun to bloom. So, there will be a follow-up review showing these photos, and you will be able to see firsthand how GEM Landscaping Services not only improved the curb appearance of our home, front and back, but have made our special gardens, we feel, suitable for a magazine spread. I highly recommend GEM Landscaping for any of your home landscaping projects, and their pricing was phenomenal! They truly deserve the five-star rating! read more
