Lawn & Yard Waste Clean Up
DO NOT HIRE Garden of Secrets Landscaping!!!! First off He is not located in Paterson as the website states. He lives in of PA. and drives an old pickup truck with a magnetic company logo. The company is just him. He might have just inherited the name because he doesn’t even have the right equipment to do the jobs he says he can do. He operates with and old junk push mower which you can buy at Walmart for $90. Harry is unprofessional and had no clue on what he is doing. I hired him to remove bushes along my fence in the back yard and to get my lawn aerated/seeded/ fertilized for the summer. Well the work took an overall time of 3 weeks when it should have taken a real landscape company about 3 days to finish. He would show up with day laborers that had no experience whatsoever. He would then show up whenever he wanted and would only work for about 1-2 hours at a time then ask for some cash. He asked for 1/2 up front which was reasonable and the rest at the end of the job. But once he started the work (started meaning he would come by and do about 1 hour of work at a time) he would leave whatever he started unfinished and would then ask for some payment. This happened every time he came making excuses that he needed to pay his guys or he needed to buy material. He was really thorough the first day even supplying an invoice but everything ended there. He was supposed to Aerate/fertilize/seed/peat moss and remove bushes and fill with top soil. This guy Harry is a Con artist. I pretended I didn’t know much and boy did he try to take me for a ride. He never aerated the lawn and stated it doesn't need it even though he said he was going to do it in the contract. He did not pull all the roots out of the bushes as he stated he would and now I have stumps sticking out (he left 2 workers that had no clue what they were doing by themselves with a shovel each to remove the bushes and roots). To correct the Stumps he said he would add some top soil to cover it. That’s all great but guesses what grass does not grow on stumps! Then he laid seed down and 2 days later all the seeds were either eaten by the birds or blown away with the wind. He then seeded again and added some peat moss. He added probably 2-3 bags worth to cover an area of 20'x50'. Let’s just say it was a light dusting. The workers he brings change every time he comes. They are day laborers he picks up at a corner somewhere that have absolutely no knowledge of landscaping or use of any landscaping tools and machines whatsoever. My hedges he had them trim along the house looks like my toddler daughter did it with a fisher price toy. He also leaves garbage behind everywhere! And when it was time for the topsoil to be added it became an even worse nightmare. The workers he hired ended up adding topsoil to lawn beds that didn’t even need it on top of good healthy grass. They must have added over 4 inches on existing lawn beds and when it rained all that soil was

Lawn & Yard Waste Clean Up
Hired to remove weeds and over growth from fence and immediate area. Original estimate increased by several hundred dollars when I was told heavy plastic and mulch would be needed to keep weeds from coming back. He then required more than 1/2 the cost at signing of contract with start date a month away. When done it looked nice but within 2 weeks the weeds began to reappear. When I contacted Harry he said that was going to happen and there was a product at Home Depot to spray the weeds. For the price I paid I feel he should have used this product at his cost, not mine. His men work very hard and had this not been such an unsatisfactory incident, I would have hired them for more work.

Harry installed stones and mulch. The work was done and it looks beautiful. The price was very fair.

If I can give him a negative stars I would. This Harry character is unprofessional and has no idea what he is doing. I hired him along with his "team" to repair an existing fence, irrigation, expand an existing turnaround area, and spring clean up for $6100. What I thought was too good to be true turned out to be a nightmare. He has no line of communication with his customers, shows up whenever he wants, does not return calls. He took a $2500 deposit to start work and showed up 3 times, for a total of seven working hours. He subcontracted one of the projects with a middle man. I can't say how Harry got on home advisor with these positive reviews. He must have his friends adding them. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!!

Very respectful of your time. Truck broke and Harry could not show up and he offered additional work for free to offset the wait.

I called and Harry showed up the next day to give an estimate. He was very thorough with his estimate and followed thru with everything he said he would. Harry was also very good about communicating any issues.

I had an issue with water running down a hill and making the yard swampy. Harry and his crew installed drains that ran the water underground and to the curb. I haven't had a problem with water gathering since. I will certainly contact him again for my landscaping projects.
