The downspouts in the back of my yard had no run from their termination points, and the one that…read moredid collapsed a few weeks ago. I contacted Nature's Friends to sort out my issues and Cliff was over at my house in no time. He talked through any prior water retention issues I had, and came up with a plan to future proof our house from any flooding that could happen with big storms. The crew were back out within a few days and executed the plan as Cliff specified. The laborers placed one of the pop-ups a little too close to the house, and without any intervention, the day-of-supervisor spoke with me to let me know they would extend it according to plan, and corrected everything. They also replaced my sump pump, which was not the easiest thing due to a seized grate closure (see pics), and at a fraction of the price quoted by plumbers. I was really impressed with how quick everything was completed, and for a job like this (digging long trenches to run PVC), my yard looks nearly immaculate. They gave me instructions to heal the grass patches so my lawn would look as it did before in no time. After the work was done, Cliff reached out to make sure all was working well when it rained. I highly recommend reaching out to Nature's Friend for any of your needs -- you can tell they really care about their customers, and I will be reaching out to them for any future landscaping needs.

It's also my secret weapon when I need a unique last-minute gift - easy to bundle a plant or dish garden with a card and cute items for your home. Great native plant selection too! In the winter I get poinsettias here and beautiful winter arrangements; they have Christmas trees and cut firewood during that time also. The staff is extremely helpful and will assist you in carrying plants to your car and loading purchases. So hard to choose what to take home!

I strongly recommend Genesys Landscaping!

I actually like a lot of stuff from them but I'm docking 2 stars and here's why…read more 1) I was looking for native plants to help a forest restoration project so I was also asking (while purchasing) if I could take any milkweed seed pods if they aren't picking and selling them. Their response (the perennial manager) said that their never have any dead flowers or pods on their plants. I asked what happens to them. She said they are trashed. And I ask if it's possible to save them for someone like me? And that I'd be happy to pay for them. She said no. It's going in the trash and it's now just a total waste. Soo.... That's awful in my opinion? The heck. 2) for being so "pristine" and "posh" in finding quite a few aphids. At least in their native section. So obviously that's a huge ding as well. This isn't me saying they should treat it with any pesticide but at least trying to make an honest effort to kill them by hand Overall I actually like the plant nursery. Every Wednesday they go out of their way to have deals. And the perennial manager did point out some 50% off milkweeds (even though at the register it wasn't well communicated about the sales. But I reminded them and it was all good.)

Beware of Unreliable Service!!!…read more I've never dealt with someone as unprofessional as Dario. He's a nice guy & his prices're reasonable, but completely unreliable. I had a few projects that he promised to finish in 2-3 days. After paying for the materials, he kept cancelling appointments. Now, TWO MONTHS LATER & after over a dozen cancelled appointments, the projects are still incomplete. Everything's started but nothing's finished. I've got dug-up holes that have been sitting for weeks, to the point where my neighbors and HOA are complaining. He trimmed my trees but left dead branches outside for 2 weeks & all the leaves blew into my neighbors' properties. I had to clean it all up myself after their complaints. The worst part? He repeatedly said he'd come by, and after waiting all day, he wouldn't show or even have the courtesy to call me ahead of time. I've wasted weeks and countless weekends waiting for him. I even went on a 2-week vacation, came back, and discovered he hadn't done any work at all. I'm beyond frustrated with constantly calling and begging him to do the job I already paid for.

Dario is a super nice guy and his prices are very cheap. But…read moreI have to say I was disappointed in the quality. the lawnmower left large clumps of grass which results in dead spots later. The weeding missed a lot of weeds. And the trimming trim things way too far back and disappointing. I think if you're looking for a very cheap lawnmowing service, it might be OK. But I guess I'm looking for a higher quality job

I just completed a miserable experience with Tabori Landscaping. We absolutely did not receive the…read morevalue for the $4,200 we paid. It was awful from start to finish. I hold owner Kevin singularly responsible, as he was awful to deal with. My wife and I asked the company to perform a number of tasks in our front and back yards. I should have known to stop the project before it started when Kevin couldn't even deliver an estimate on his timeline and I had to chase him to get it. His estimate seemed reasonable at the time if he had planned to send a few crew members to knock it out in a timely fashion. While weather delays were certainly not his fault, he primarily sent one excellent worker to do most of the job by himself. Kevin made token appearances, as did a few other people. I had to constantly repeat myself to Kevin throughout the project, who failed to ever do what he said he was going to do when he said he was going to do it. His constant excuse-making and bogus apologies became laughable. Even with the weather, it shouldn't have taken this long to weed our front garden, remove a relatively small amount of grass and replace it with weedblock and mulch. I had to constantly chase Kevin to get things done. He even declared the project over without consulting with me -- even though the mulch he put down in the back (most of it free to him because our neighbor gave us theirs) was way too thin to do the job. He had told me clearly that multiple loads of mulch were included in the price -- mulch he was supposed to add in addition to my neighbor's pile. Tabori showed up at what they thought was the end with a pitiful pickup truck of mulch, which wasn't thick enough to even walk on without sliding on the weedblock. I had to demand he return with more, which his company finally did today. I will never use this company again. Despite the one excellent worker, Kevin was horrendous to deal with from start to finish. I've never written a Yelp review this negative, but I'd hate to see anybody waste their time and money the way we did. Kevin made this a stressful pain in the neck from start to finish -- and I've communicated that to him directly twice.

Once again, Tabori Landscaping rescued my yard. I procrastinated all season, to the point where my…read moreshrubs were overgrown, my flowerbeds were full of weeds, and most of my mulch had washed away. Tabori came out with very little notice, and fixed everything! They also helped to prune back a couple of my shrubs that were dying, and also hauled out some old junk. The Tabori crews are professional, polite, and communicative. Their prices are very affordable. I love the added benefit of working with a small family run local business! I forgot to take a before picture, but I do have an after one. Thank you again Kevin for everything you and your team have done
