Marco, one of the owners of Carbillano (landscaping) talks a great game. He knows everything there…read moreis to know and I fell for it. Told me he would be in and out in 2-3 days once the project started. After canceling the start date 2xs bec one worker called out sick, the work commenced. One week later and after tremendous aggravation, the work finally finished. Id grade the work a B. I paid in full in good faith because Marco promised he would come back and fix up some areas. Shame on me because he never intended to come back after repeated texts from him saying he would. In fact, he stopped responding to my texts. Unfortunately, some lies were told and I have since terminated my relationship with Carbillano and asked them not to come back to my property. Thank goodness its only money, and clearly doing an 80% job is what Carbillano knows best from my personal experience. I'm certain Carbillano will respond with lies, smooth talk and twist the story around for what really happened. I already have an email making me out to be the bad guy lol. If you have any doubts that Im telling the truth, please reach out to me as I have texts, emails, pictures of the shoddy work and my wife is also happy to share the lies we were told. Im happy to serve as a reference so no one else gets conned. I should have known better after the start date moved twice and Marco desperately needed to be paid in order "to make payroll." Good news...I have since found an amazing trustworthy landscaper.

Terrible! DO NOT RECOMMEND. Marco the "owner" talks a lot but that's about it. They did a very…read moreexpensive job, it was partially good, but They left A TON (literally) of boulders behind. (Who does that?). Our lawn was destroyed, they reseeded 3 times but it's still not ok despite watering and fertilizing it for 4 months. They added new mulch as a "favor" to get a good review but it's full of weeds and looks far worse! He never told us about an irrigation winterizing/turn off fee. We would NEVER hire them again. He doesn't return texts of phone calls. His Brother's contracting company is amazing but sadly this apparently doesn't extend to "Marco", the new owner of Carbillano. He's doesn't care about quality work and actually finishing THE job.

They had to follow a engineer plan and I was told if it was wrong that the engineer and city will not sign off and close the permit. They did it per requirement. Friendly workers. The foreman named santos I think he could build a wall blindfolded standing on his head. He made sure they stuck to the plan and specs. . If you want a worry free operation for your repair then pick them. It's easy for them to do pavers and other work but when you have to find a professional Company for following plans and buildings walls there the ones to pick. If You don't want mistakes or problems there the ones to pick. 93 foot wall built per specifications with no corners cut makes the wall last for decades. That is what they did and I highly recommend them. Don't pick a two bit company for your Masonary work Pick them. It's worth the peace of mind to choose the right company Who won't mess up the job and cause you worry and problems.

Jay and his team are passionate experts when it comes to the interplay of landscape design and the…read morenatural environment. We hired Jay's team to design and install new landscaping for our front and back yards in the Winter/Spring of 2018. They fine-tuned the design to our liking, helped us understand what could work in the environment and got it installed on time! Our children thoroughly enjoyed the "Bird & Butterfly" garden all summer long - running outside to observe the monarchs and swallowtails at work! The follow-up to make sure the new landscaping is thriving has been great, and the monthly visits by Jay to evaluate the property are invaluable. We also switched to GreenJay for lawn care. So happy with the service and that we've chosen to go organic!

We met with Jay several times to discuss building a retaining wall across my severely sloping…read morebackyard. They charged $250 for the initial consultation which was in line with what other landscapers charged. Jay has many years of experience in the field, something that he highlights frequently through numerous stories of past projects. During the consultation, we were upfront about our budget (around $50k) and showed him estimates we had received from other landscapers that came in well under that ($25k - $30k). While we figured Green Jay Landscaping would cost more, their years of experience persuaded us to pay them $2400 to work up a site plan proposal (just a proposal, no drawings for the village planning boards or building department). What they delivered weeks later was a poster board with some printouts of plants. Jay told us how many people (engineers, architects, etc) were working on our project and how he's consulted with the building department in order to figure out what could be done. While all this sounded very comprehensive and impressive, at the end of the day we only had the start of a landscaping plan (basically the plants they would use) and nothing more. A few more weeks of pestering Jay for a proposal and a cost estimate to build the wall, I receive a text from him stating that it would cost $140k to build our wall which is almost triple our budget and 4x the amount of other estimates (in all fairness, Jay was proposing something much larger and grander than what other landscapers had proposed). Still, this estimate was delivered via a text with no explanation. After expressing my dissatisfaction, Jay did return to give a fuller explanation in person and to propose a much more scaled down project. What Jay proposed did sound more reasonable but he wanted another $800 to develop the proposal for this scaled down project (he explained that we had used up our $2400 due to the number of hours they spent consulting engineers and others for our original project). While I believe Jay tried to develop a proposal for a project that in the end would make us exceptionally happy, he failed to deliver anything of value for the $2650 total we spent. Given Jay's extensive experience, I would have expected him to tell us fairly quickly what would be possible within our budget. In other words, Jay should not have needed to spend $2400 consulting engineers and others to figure out that the original idea for the location of the retaining wall was not within our $50k budget.

In the summer of 2023, I had my driveway done by Manor Paving in Mount Vernon. The finished product…read morelooked wonderful. By the summer of 2024, there were some cracks developing so I had the driveway sealed. By summer 2025 the cracks were in the range of .25 to .5 inches wide with some vegetation growing. The side of the driveway near my garage way already crumbling with half inch gashes. I call at least six times and visited their offices twice to have someone drop by to see what can be done. No one ever showed since they were 'busy with other crumbly paving jobs. I did research and found "Pli-Stix" which is an asphalt 'rope' that is put over the cracks and melted with a propane torch to form a permanent seal. a good 10 manhours of my work and $200 of materials to save my driveway (120 linear ft of sealant, torch, propane tank). I sealed over 100 linear ft of cracks. So if you want a driveway that crumbles after 2 years with no callback or support from your vendor, this is your guy!
