If you want them to clear the debris, they don't have a truck big enough to haul anything away - FYI. The deck was a disaster. I can't even describe what a horrible job they did there. The rails on the deck don't match the rails on the stairs. They bought the wrong size caps for the posts, so they "shaved" the tops down to fit. You can imagine how nice that looks. There were 7 post caps. Only 6 of them matched. Not sure why one of them was the wrong size and a completely different design, but this is an example of the lack of attention to detail. The rails are not level. The spindles are not flush and some of them aren't even attached. You can't run your hand along the handrail because they used screws which are visible (ugly) and splintered so it's not safe. They only did half the stairs because the other half were not storm damaged. The original risers are white. I couldn't paint the new ones white because they used two boards instead of one and horribly puttied them so having them white would just draw attention to how horrible this looks. They didn't sand anything so the blotchy putty is very visible and looks way worse than if they would have simply left the seam. They painted with a sprayer. There is paint splatter everywhere. The paint is uneven. I told them not to come that day because it was going to rain. They showed up anyway when I wasn't home and painted anyway. The next day 80% of it was washed off which made it more uneven and ugly. I was so disgusted with this that I ended up painting the rest myself, YET THEY STILL WANTED THE FULL FEE. The trim for the posts were made of this wood that is not trim. It's rough with big, fat screws sticking out instead of flush and clean. Clean up was a joke. There were all these little SKU tabs from the wood all over the yard. I also picked up no fewer than 40 screws from the grass. Seriously. Nothing matches the rest of my porch in craftsmanship, quality, style, or color. They were NEVER on time. Start to finish took 41 days. Communication was horrible. Every time I tried to talk to Mario about something, he just talked in circles, never answered a question, totally ignored my concerns, and just kept repeating himself. He complained that they weren't making money on the job and said he needed to have money now to pay his workers (even though the job wasn't done). This was the absolute WORST experience I have ever had. I am having this all torn down and redone because it's so hideous that I cannot leave it up. Every time I look at it, I just cry. It's not at all professional and looks worse than if a toddler did it. And these guys are supposed to be professionals? Seriously? I didn't bother to hound them to fix it because they don't have the skill. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. I hired them because I know what it's like to be self-employed and I wanted to support a small business and got burned.

We hired Green Earth Landscaping/VirginiaPonds.com in Sept 2018 to build a backyard fish pond…read more We are disappointed with how the project turned out, we have had multiple waterfall leaks, they punctured the liner twice & we found that the company had issues with communication, time management, customer satisfaction, including sloppy work & dishonesty at times. The project was planned for 3 days & was not finished the first time until 8 business days later. After leaks & issues it took 4 mos total before it was 'done'; however it still wasn't complete & didn't meet the contract. They punctured the liner in 2 places (& did not disclose 1 patch which gave us problems in March 2019). They had to rebuild part of the waterfall that was leaking & we have just discovered that the waterfall is STILL leaking (April, 2019). To remedy the depth building issues their only solution was to raise the pond liner straight up around the exterior of the pond & leave the liner exposed (~15 feet). My husband spent at least 2 weeks fixing the pond to raise the water level and remove the tripping hazards and repair our yard. We bought at least 100 bags of top soil, bought & spread new grass seed, bought & installed at least $300 of rock to remedy the tripping hazard around the pond & raise the water level. The first time the pond was filled the water was very murky. Owner stated they had washed the rocks & anything remaining would settle & be fine. After weeks of not settling & a few times asking, they finally cleaned the gravel during the pond patch repair. Prior to that I could see the layers of dirt on the rocks and there's no way they washed it on the first day & left that much muck remaining. DESIGN: We requested & received a 10x20' pond w/ a waterfall. We wanted a fish pond & were left w/ a water garden. There are two 4'x10' wide shelves on the left & right sides of the pond. The front & back shelves are 2' wide connecting those 4' shelves. Pond was intended for fish & we have 4 fish that are 2' long. We are left w/ a 4'x8' second depth of the pond (minus 2' for big rocks) so 2'x6' for fish & plants to winter. * The left side of the pond ranged from almost 8" to ~10" (but 3'x10' of it is 8"). My husband had to move the skimmer door & overflow valve to get it from 7 to 7.75 inches deep (why didn't they notice the lack of depth or move the skimmer?). During construction & after the shelves were built the owner told us the pond would be 12" deep all around. When I complained about the finished depth of 8" he said that Aquascape says it only needs to be 8-10" so this is "done" (even though he promised & thought it would be 12"). The 8-10" (mostly 8") is on a 4' shelf, not a standard 8-12" wide shelf. The 8-10" depth is unacceptable considering the shelf size. Multiple other contractors who saw the pond told us we have an "ornamental pond" not a pond for fish. * The owner also told us the 2' wide shelf they created is required per Aquascape guidelines, which is not accurate. * To get 8" deep on the left side of the pond the owner had to come back multiple times to pull up liner, leaving the liner straight up in the air (exposed). He stated this is a finished product (which is in violation of the contract). Owner told me they would use the gate near the pond & would lay plywood to protect the lawn. This was far from true. The equipment was HUGE & they had to use the far gate, destroying 1/2 of our backyard & a path in the front. We paid extra for excavation (b/c of a hill), but the pond wasn't dug deep enough. We paid extra for dirt removal, but they left at least 1/3 of the dirt to fill the torn-up yard & we still had to buy 100 bags of top soil to fill in all the ruts & unevenness of the yard. I constantly had to reach out for a status. If the owner said they were coming tomorrow, they wouldn't show up & it would be another week or more until someone showed up. Character limit prevented me from writing all the issues we had - this is ~1/2.
