    They do fantastic work. Gerard obviously cares about his work and hires people that are the same way. Will definitely be going to them again for any landscaping or stone work that needs to be done.

    Response from Company:

    Thank you Kate! It was our pleasure!

    Gerald is a complete con man, do not trust this person, he us unprofessional, he sent 2 children to install a walkway that was not level and walkway is not centered to the doorway and you can see that, he proceeded to argue with me, Gerald walked off the job and had no intention of completing the project or working with me to rectify the walkway, he has $6000 of my money, he refused to return my money he wants to do things his way whicjh is the easy way, not the correct way, I did a background check and he has 9 liens against him and 4 bankruptcy and the last one as recent as April 2020, over the years he has had 14 different phone numbers,

    Response from Company:

    4.6 out of 5 star rating over 10 years. This is ridiculous. HomeAdvisor used to keep reviews fair and balanced. Now they allow lies to be posted. This is where HomeAdvisor is slipping in providing a true picture of the consumer experience. Our record speaks for itself over 10 years. Nearly 30 years overall in business. And ANY seasoned business will eventually find they receive a review or 2 like this from people who just cannot be pleased. The fact is Patricia, your job would have been finished to spec by now. You have 6000.00 worth of materials and labor on your front lawn right now. You could not follow a contract in good faith. No reasonable contractor will work with you like this and the demands you presented here.

    Project: Replace concrete sidewalk with bluestone walk; replace morter in back bluestone sidewalk, and overlay existing concrete patio with bluestone. Started job on time; completed within promised timeframe. Diligent, polite, talnted workers. Gerard ensured that the job completed with my complete satisfaction. (Also helped me with the design of the job to be done, augmenting my ideas with his practical experience.) Highly recommend.

    He is a crook! I paid 26K for landscaping around my entire property. Of that, 12 plants have died within months of the project having been completed. He told me that all the plants have warranties. When I notified him, he told me my plants were dead due to not watering them - I have an irrigation system around my entire property as well as a professional gardener that comes in every other week. He told me he could replace some of them (because only some were under warranty) and that he was going to charge me to drive out here, dig up the dead plants, go to Adams to get replacements, drive back and plant them. I WOULD NEVER EVER-EVER-EVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN FOR ANY REASON.

    Response from Company:

    4.6 out of 5-star rating over 10 years. This is what I love about HomeAdvisor. Comments like this prove that the ratings are for real. Good and Bad. A true contractor will always attempt to seek complete satisfaction with anyone they engage with. Over time, any contractor will inevitably encounter people who just cannot be pleased. No matter what they do. In reality, and unfortunately, there is sometimes an interaction where there is never a point no matter what you do to help someone, it is never enough. As one business person to another Corrine, I would hope you start to grasp that concept. I wish you well.

    This business works on our gardens and can suggest improvements to trees, shrubs, and the like when they're wanted. They performed so beautifully the renovation of our driveway: exactly as the job was planned, the photos of similar driveways were shown, and the budget was estimated. Gerard is flexible and pleasant to work with.

    Response from Company:

    Thank You Nancy! Always a pleasure!

    One of my main concerns with contractors is that they show up and stick with the job until the end. These guys did. Gerard described the job in detail beforehand and it turned out as he promised. His crew were friendly and informative and worked steadily. And the steps look great!

    Response from Company:

    Thank You Valerie! It was our pleasure!

    No follow up to discuss the completion of the job. Have emailed him twice with photos and no response. Once he had the money he refused to contact us regarding problems with the project. Update 10-23-2019 He finally contract me after Homeadvsior finally contracted him, Job is finally resolved!!

    Gerard contacted me immediately upon receiving my information. We discussed my project, which tuned out to be unsuitable for his company. Instead he offered professional recommendations and excellent advice, at no cost. G M Landscape Design is professional, knowledgeable and very helpful. I hope I have another project more suitable to their expertise.

    Response from Company:

    Thank You Rachel!

    Seal of Approval

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
      We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
