I was not satisfied with the landscaping service. The job was rushed and the results were not what I expected.

Had someone from Vinny's landscaping come out to give us a quote on artificial turf installation. After we compared his quote (which was much higher than others) we asked why it was so much more and we were met with nasty and snarky comments including how the other contractors were "unlicensed and un-bonded" when in fact they were licensed and bonded, lots of "good luck fixing the mess when they mess it up" and "your backyard is very small good luck tiny backyard" and more. Overall we got a terrible feeling and attitude from these guys, and a terrible quote. I feel bad for anyone that that hires them as they will overcharge and try to sell you on a dumb patio idea so they can up charge. Stay away! read more

Vinny has a terrible attitude, doesn't repair things when asked to (for weeks), forgets to show up regularly, does a crappy job, acts like lawn service is beneath him, blames everything on his crew... my yard looks worse after a few months of him & his crew "maintaining it" than it has for years. He's all about his "image" but has zero work ethic & zero accountability. 0 out of 10 - would NOT recommend. read more

Vinny and his crew where extremely prompt and thorough with our wanted request. They did a great job from the beginning through the end of the project we requested. They went above and beyond. Super nice and respectful! I would definitely use them again for my next project. If anybody wants a local guy/company that understands what the people want and listens I would choose Vinny's Landscaping. To many Landscapers out there that only want what they want to do. These guys are top notch!!! read more

I've been using Vinny for about a year. He and his crew are great! Super reliable! Reasonable prices! Quality work! Anything I need or any questions I have, Vinny is quick to get back to me. I highly recommend this company. read more

This company is not professional! Beware of calling this company unless you're ready to get an attitude for the most simplest of questions asked. I can't imagine hiring this company to complete my project as because after calling and asking him the simplest of questions about my project, Vinny was already giving an attitude. I can only imagine if someone did hire him and they were any hiccups on the project, how he would go about handling any situations. read more

We used him for about 5 months and then went with someone else. His staff was very nice but Vinny was very rude. He argued with what and how we wanted things done. We would ask for something to be done and he would not do it. He is very unprofessional and extremely rude and very unprofessional, he would use foul language while speaking with us. I would not recommend this company at all. HERE IS MY RESPONSE TO THE OWNER ON GOOGLE REVIEW Yes you worked for my parents and they never asked for anything to be done for free. She asked you to move a tree and re plant it she was going to pay you and you never moved it. She asked you to clean up the leaves which with the majority of landscape companies thats included.. Also it doesn't matter if I lived there or not the way you treated my senior parents was unacceptable and when my mother sent you a email stating she was giving you a 30 day notice and how she asked you to not use your ride on lawn mower on a small area of grass because it was leaving black marks all over her side walk and drive way your response was very rude and nasty. And in your response you stated she would talk to you for a hour every week, that is a lie at most you were there per week was 30 mins we have it all on camera when you would get there to when you would leave. Also you did not do the job the way they wanted it she asked you to cut the grass short and you did it one time after my husband had to go back and re do it 2 days after you were there. She asked you to get rid of the weeds in the grass and you never did. The lawn looked worse after you touched it then it did before you started. Also you got a attitude with my parents when they asked you to stop recording every time you were at there house and posting it on your social media. In order to record peoples yards you need to get their permission read more

What is a contract for? He didn't do the job correctly, told us he installed a drip line when he didn't and THEN said he'd be here ASAP and never showed up. Doing a half baked job doesn't work for us read more

Consumer Beware! Vinny's Landscaping is unreliable and unprofessional. Vinny is rude, bad-mannered, argumentative and disrespectful to the homeowner. He does not arrive on time and gave reasons/excuses every day. Once is ok, but everyday a different excuse. On the 3rd day we fired him! Do not ask him for a landscaping design. The picture he presented to us looked like a 4 year drew it; a sketch on the back of another paper. Needless to say, we did not go with his drawing plan and drew up our own with measurements and detail. We gave him our plan so the plants and pilings would be placed in the correct locations. Our advice is to NOT hire Vinny's Landscaping. But, if you do, get a detailed, itemized project cost list. We had to purchase additional irrigation supplies and rock to finish the job. He is not to be trusted and his bid is way too high for the amount of work he was planning. Day 1: He arrived late due to "running behind". Arrived with one worker. He had told us previously, prior to contract, that he had multiple crews to do the job. When asked where are the workers? he replied they were at the other job. Then after an hour of directing his one man to expose and cap irrigation he was gone. Rec'd a text message a short while later stating he had an emergency and had to leave. I texted him and asked if he would be returning this day. Two hours later he responded with a text that he would not be returning today and would be back tomorrow AM @ 830. Day 2: At 9am I called him and asked him if he was still planning on coming. He did not remember who I was. I reminded him and also asked him that if he plans on leaving again for any reason, I would appreciate a knock on the door for a face-to-face conversation. We briefly talked about the work that needs to be done. He reminded me that "your job is not that big" and "we will get it done". I reminded him that it was a big job to me. He was given deposit of $4,500 and spending over $13,000 is a big deal to me. I understand there will be emergencies and I'm not worried if it takes an extra day or two. The time frame was decided by him and put in his contract. It was not a requirement for me to have it done in 3 days. He arrived around 10am with one worker. Worked for about 4 hours. He told me that was all he was going to do for the day and would return in the morning with "my crew" to finish the job. He had dug holes for the plants, the pilings, and moved around some dirt. I asked about what his "plan" was for the following day. We (husband and I) wanted the dirt removed and grounds cleaned in prep for the rock. We did not want the rock to spill over onto the walkways. Previously it was agreed that more dirt needed to be removed and it was in his contract to remove the dirt. This did not set well with him. Day 3: Arrived late again. He came with 2 workers. Upon arrival I ask about his "plan". We previously discussed having 2 more inches of dirt removed to accommodate the rock. He became argumentative about what we (husband and I) wanted. He abruptly and loudly said we are not to be telling him how to do his job. Complete disregard for us. We said he was "finished here" and to leave the supplies we paid for and go. The whole project was stress from the very first day with his rudeness, tardiness, and disrespect. read more

Vinny did a GREAT job on a 1/2 day yard clean up. He was punctual, polite, and quick to respond to my texts. I just recommend him to my landlord since his work is far and above the gardener who usually is here less than 10 minutes and absolutely refuses to pull weeds. Give Vinny a try! read more

Did a great job as our commercial landscaper. Did all that we asked of him. And was always very responsive to calls or texts. Had a lot of attention to detail and was dependable. Also very up front with all the pricing for projects and over all service charges. read more

Vinny is trustworthy, professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to doing the best work. I wanted someone who could guide me and help me build a complex garden and he was on top of it. He listened and really knew plants, not just mowing lawns. He is fair and hard-working. He even came back on his dime because something wasn't done to his satisfaction. He's truly the best. He fixed our irrigation, perfectly laid gravel, and had great ideas. If you want a smart, no-nonsense partner who prides himself on his work and is fair on prices, look no farther. Really impressed! read more
