Our concerns were relieved when we met with John Stanaitis who explained how they would repair the patio. Their crew, along with Jake Stanaitis were friendly and knowledgeable.

We had hired Stanaitis to install outdoor French drains and window wells to waterproof our basement…read morewhere we had some minor water seepage. We wanted the work done as we had plans to fully finish the already partially finished basement. They finished the job but at the first rainfall, we had more water in the basement that we've ever experienced in the 12 years we lived in the house. The water came in under the floors of the finished section of the basement where we never had any water issues. Additionally, the window wells they installed retained stagnant water and did not drain properly. When we asked John to come fix the issue, he came up with multiple excuses including that we possibly had a spring and indicated that we had cracks in our foundation that could have allowed water to seep in. He basically tried to deflect blame to anything but the work he did and wanted us to pay for additional work to install another drain for the window well issue. We eventually hired a third-party landscaper to assess his work where they determined that he installed the French drain incorrectly (essentially too low that there wasn't enough slope for water to drain through the pipe). He initially disagreed with their assessment but after speaking with them he admitted that his people may have made a mistake. He then offered to fix the issue but from our experience with him at that point, we had lost confidence that he would do the job right. Overall, a disappointing experience!

It took some landscapers / contractors up to 2 weeks to come out and give me an estimate (some wouldn't even return my calls). Whereas, Garnet Valley Farms came out same day. I was constantly worried about the design and selections given the size of this job, but the Garnet Valley Farms team really took the time to finalize the design with me, make recommendations and answer any questions I had. Throughout the job, the communication with Garnet Valley Farms was incredible. Simply put, expectations were set and executed on. Their responsiveness to my questions was much appreciated. The end result was incredible, my backyard was transformed better than I could have imagined. Highly recommend Garnet Valley Farms to everyone I know!

Our family has the benefit and sometimes, the burden, of a challenging, but beautiful 2 acres in Fox Valley. We're on a hill that slopes from the front of the house off to the back corner of the property. Although we do our best to maintain the lawn, over the years, it's gone from a nice, lush lawn, to a patchwork of invasive grasses, eroded dirt patches, and has unfortunately become a mess of compounded problems. The owner, Pat, came to our property, surveyed it, and within a short visit, diagnosed all of our problems to the T. I was impressed by knowledge of the grass types, nutrients, and micro organisms (I'm not a scientist) that we needed to get things back on track. Pat took the time to explain why things worked the way they do, and his attention was so much appreciated. We have had estimates and quotes by other well known companies in the area. The usual, seed, spray, aerate, re-sod method has become a joke and it's clear after the visit by GV Farms, that the other companies were pretty much clueless as to our specific needs. Even better, Pat knew how to get our lawn back to it's optimal level without spraying crazy chemicals or using products that aren't safe for our kids or grandkids. AWESOME!!! :) We are thrilled to find this company and happily trust them with our lawn care maintenance. Way to go guys!!!! Keep up the wonderful work!!!

I have been using Dooley for 8-10 years for both Spring and fall clean up services (weeding, mulch…read morebed clean-up, fresh mulch application in the Spring and leaf removal in the Fall). They do a phenomenal job -- my property always looks great afterward. In addition to the quality of the actual work, I have also found it easy to communicate and work with those in the scheduling department as well as management. Whenever I email them, I routinely get a response in 24 hours (and often times within the same day). And on the day of the work, someone in a supervisory/management role will typically be on hand to make sure everyone is on the same page before the work gets started (especially if I have a specific request or if something has changed from the previous season). It's things like that that will make me continue to use/work with Dooley in the future.
