Great Valley Landscaping, Inc.

JOHN AMEN is a liar, a cheat, con-artist and a fraud! DO NOT USE HIM FOR ANY REASON! He was supposed to remove the cement deck and patio around our in ground pool, as well as the steps and patio outside of our back door and garage. He was then supposed to replace the liner in the pool, add new coping, and then replace the cement that had been removed. The concrete was removed April 1st, during which he damaged our sidewalk, driveway and white vinyl fence, This was done on an afternoon after it had rained. This means that their equipment sank into the ground and left large ruts in our side yard and our back yard. It is now June 18, 2024, and the pool has finally been installed by the subcontractor. This was delayed for a number of weeks because John Amen did not pay the subcontractor. Our cement work has not been done, none of the damage has been repaired, and our yard has been destroyed. John Amen now tells us that he can't complete the job because he is "too busy;" our job should have been completed weeks ago! It was delayed multiple times because of JOHN AMEN (family emergency, refusal to pay the subcontractor, did answer phone calls, emails, or texts, etc., etc., etc.)! THIS MAN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO OWN A BUSINESS! HE MAKES A HABIT OUT OF DEFRAUDING HIS CUSTOMERS.

John Amen, owner of Great Valley Landscaping and Pool is nothing but a liar and a thief. We found multiple customers in our area who faced the same issues as us with this business. We hired him for a project in January 2023 and problems started on day one. Our Township fined him for not following the proper building permit requirement. He was then consistently late to meet all deadlines he originally promised, justifying each delay with more lies and unrealistic excuses. His own supplier (concrete company) came to our house requesting payments for material that John Amen failed to pay to them. After constant disappointments and lies, we decided to confront John Amen about his unprofessional behavior, and during this conversation, he started to physically cry and promised on his â childrenâ s lifeâ (very disturbing commitment) that he was going to finish the project the following week. He left and never came back. Not being able to reach out to him by phone or email for several weeks, we decided to engage in legal action requesting payment for all the missing machinery and the cost to finish our project. John Amen shortly after paid us the full amount requested. Never hire John Amen and Great Valley Landscaping and Pool, and if unfortunately, you did, your only way out is to hire a lawyer to recover what is due to you. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. UPDATE 12/20: I will gladly share my lawyer's communication with John Amen to prove all my statements in my review. I'm not surprised by John Amen's ridiculous and laughable comments, but it is expected from serial liar. Please go visit Yelp customers' reviews regarding this business and read many more customers sharing the same terrible experience with this business.

Awesome to work with and seemed very fair.

Very happy with my pool, hardscaping and landscaping.
