Several years back, my lawn was removed and replaced with a nice-looking rock wall plant garden…read more When I met with Blair, I told him I wanted a garden that was as low-maintenance as possible. I was tired of weeding and spending days gardening. At first, the job looked great. However, when the next spring rolled around, I had grass and weeds coming up EVERYWHERE. I called and complained. Blair came out and met with me. He said no when I asked if he put a weed guard down before the mulch. Blair said he disapproves of weedguard "as it's not good for the environment." I then reminded him that I had said I wanted a maintenance-free yard, and this certainly did not meet that goal. Blair offered nothing to mediate the issue and had an "oh well, sorry" attitude. His only solution was to provide me with his monthly maintenance service (at a regular price), which I flatly rejected! Sorry, Blair, you're not getting a monthly stipend for incorrectly doing the job. I don't need to be a landscaping expert to know that if you dig up a lawn and then throw mulch on top, the grass seeds are sure to germinate and come through. Since installing my "maintenance-free" yard, I have been out there several times a year, having to pull grass and weeds out of the site--exactly what I didn't want to do. Blair does the work however he wants, not how the customer wants it done. Following the installation, I kept getting email requests from the company asking me to review them. I told them to stop sending me requests because the review would not be good. I also instructed them to remove the photos of my yard from their site, which they did. This review would never have come around, except that I noticed the other day, while searching for a gardener to clean up this year's mess, that my photos are back on the site, unauthorized. Take them down!! Again, Blair does what appears to be a nice job in the beginning. However, the customer's desires fall on deaf ears. Had I known how he felt about Weedguard, I would never have hired him. The outcome would have been very obvious had he told me. That, combined with the fact that no remediation was offered, shows what kind of company this is.

I was told lots of nice things but then when they actually did the job they said not needed, not now, next time etc and skipped lots of things - DISHONEST Agreed on one price but charged me more than I was being told over the phone. This was deal breaker for me. Later these guys and the main guy kept me on my toes since their guys won't leave without that extra money and their boss was only available on phone. Nothing good happened to my lawn even after paying $200+. Worst decision ever to call them. I would save your time and money by doing a DIY where you know what you are doing. Wish I would have believed in their bad reviews but went with some positive responses on Yelp. I'm sure that those are their paid reviews. And have seen the owner responding to reviews to look legit or make the reviewer seem dishonest or their problem but what do you say to something where you destroyed my lawn and the weeds is now out of control.

This review is long overdue, but I'm a selfish bastard and wanted to keep him to myself. In the…read morepast 16 years i have gone through 5 gardening services. Most often they start out like gangbusters, then 3-6 monnths down the road, things begin to slip until eventually it's the minimal, "mow, blow, 'n go" service. Brian has been taking care of my yard for about 1 1/2 years now. I keep waiting for the decline in service, but I'm still getting the same meticulous care as with the first visit. One issue I'm sure others besides me have had is the language barrier with many lawn service company employees. Brian has stellar communication skills, and articulately explains each step and what his plans are. When he took over my yard, the front had deteriorated into a patch of clover weeds and crabgrass, (hence the firing of the previous gardener). Not only did Brian treat the weeds, he sent me pictures to show there were grubs in the dirt which also needed treatment. He killed the grubs, then thatched and reseeded the yard. It took a few months, but I now have a lush green yard that is all grass and no weeds. I mentioned communication earlier. Another thing I really appreciate is that Brian always sends a text and confirmation email the day before an appointment. He then sends a follow up text when he arrives to begin work that day. If one has any special needs or areas of concern, you can come point them out to him. Along with that is the completeness of any tasks you ask of him. I would ask previous gardeners to address things, they would say sure, then leave it all undone. That is not the case with Brian. He's extremely conscientious and thrives on being able to point to a job well done. Once he begins something, he doesn't like to stop until it's finished. Sometimes that has entailed him staying a little longer to complete it, and I have been surprised at how long he has worked on some days. He frequently lets me know when he has finished for the day and is leaving. Several neighbors have remarked on how well kept my yard is. I looked out one day and saw one had come over to talk to Brian. Being the selfish bastard I opened this review with, I rushed out to confront them and let the neighbor, (and Brian), know I found him first and didn't mind sharing him as long as my service didn't suffer. Although I really get along with my neighbors and had actually suggested they should switch to him, there was a little truth to my good natured ribbing. One of my previous gardeners used to spend an hour a week at my home. A neighbor on the side of me thought he was doing a good job and hired him. I didn't pay much attention, but then the neighbor on the other side also hired him. I began to notice a marked downturn in the quality of work on my property. The gardener would park in front of my house to service the three of us. What I noticed was that even though he had taken on 2 more clients, he was still only here for an hour, and had cut my time down to 20 minutes so he could fit all 3 houses within the hour. When I pointed this out, he said if I wanted it as it was before he took on the neighbors, he would have to increase my price. He was promptly fired. I definitely didn't want this happening with Brian. I'm pleased to say his taking on the neighbors hasn't affected my service in the least. My home is looking as good as it did when it was first built and the original landscaping was done. Since it hadn't looked like that for close to 10 years, I felt it was time I broke down and wrote this review. I hope a lot of people reading this will hire Platinum Yard Maintenance and help Brian grow his business...but...STAY AWAT FROM FRIDAYS....THAT'S MY DAY!

He came out to our house and gave us a consultation on what needed to be done and what he provided. He suggested we first do an initial cleanup just to reset our yard, and then come back on a bi-weekly basis to maintain it. On the day of the initial cleanup, Brian completely revitalized our yard. From mowing the lawn, to raking the leaves, to controlling the weed growth, he went above and beyond with the cleanup. We highly recommend Brian's company to anyone who wants quality yard maintenance/cleanup. The professionalism, attention to detail, and communication were top notch.

His team started work on Sunday and had the job beautifully finished by Monday -- talk about fast, professional service! We recently installed pavers in our backyard and wanted to elevate the space by adding white decorative rocks around the perimeter. Even though this property is being prepped as a rental, we wanted it to have a clean, polished, and upscale look -- and that's exactly what Selvin and his team delivered. They were highly communicative throughout the entire process, sending us updates, photos, and videos. I really appreciated the detailed estimate and clear breakdown of the project before starting. What impressed us most was how they treated our home as if it were their own -- thoughtful, precise, and with real pride in their work. We couldn't be happier with the end result. The entire yard looks amazing, and the white rock accents really finish it off. We'll definitely be using Green World Landscape again for future projects and are already recommending them to friends and neighbors. Thank you, Selvin, for your professionalism and for delivering exactly what we envisioned -- if not better!
