Our third time out with GSU in a little over a years. This time replanting the front yard after clearing an overgrown flower bed in November 2021. Ivan and the GSU crew were their usual fantastic selves. On time and very detailed.The GSU process, through their web site, takes all the guesswork out of the process. Scheduling an appointment was easy. Our design consultant was helpful in suggesting the plants to select.We give them a solid "10".Update, January 2024. Mulching was perfect. Dominic and crew exceeded our expectations. Another 10! Thank you.

When we moved into our house, the yard had not been maintained for quite some time. In the front of our house, there were nandina that had spread like wildfire. There was a tree stump that had been to about 3-4 feet from the ground and branches had started growing from it. There was another tree that look like it came from a sapling and let grow as it pleased. I took out some holly bushes, but it still needed a lot of work. We hired GSU, they came out, removed everything, planted some plants, and laid sod. It looked amazing!!When they were grinding the stumps, they accidentally hit the cover to our water meter. However, this was not their fault because whoever marked the utilities did not mark the water meter. They even called the utility company, or whoever gives the ok to grind stumps/dig/etc, and they said everything had been marked and they could proceed. The city came out to replace the water meter cover and I guess they had to dig up whatever was around the water meter and install a new one. When doing this, they did not care what it looked like before or after. They dug up our new sod, placed the new water meter cover, then threw dirt around it. I sent GSU a message with pictures and they came out the next day to fix it. They didn't charge me anything additional. Because of their customer service and quality of work, they have a lifelong customer. I highly recommend using GSU for all your landscape needs.
