They do a great job, are friendly, are patient with my learning how to pay the invoice on-line and even by email they are responsive to additional requests (e.g. please replace mulch, please trim trees, etc). We are using them on-going for regular lawn work.

The Finished product was performed as requested, even providing changes along the way.  I observed the work as it proceeded and the workmen did a good job and were responsive to alterations during the construction phase.  Several large rocks had to be found and the exact size and were cut the fit where required.  Some fencing had to be reconstructed to accommodate the changes.  The general contractor had to engage a subcontractor during the work on the lawn replaced. <br />

I switched over to Genesis Landscaping Services after using a more expensive landscaping company. Not only does Genesis provide the same amount of service for less money, they do a better job. I have also used them to prune trees. Highly recommend.

Things were very smooth and quick with Genesis.  It was less than a week from first contact to quote to work performed.  They were prompt, efficient, and hauled away all the trash.  Our lawn was in a bad state of disrepair and the crew had us taken care of quickly and at a very reasonable price.  I will use him in the future for other work as needed without a doubt. <br />

The price was higher than I had planned but I wanted to get the work done before the growing season.   They did tell me they would not be able to get to the work for a week or week and a half because of another job,  However, they came within the week and completed the job in less than one day.  <br /> The only complaint I had was I had to call them back to put pruning spray on the cuts,  2 trees were oaks,  because they did treat the wounds when the work was done. <br />

I contacted Steve O’Donnell with Genesis Landscaping Service because of positive Angie’s List reviews and was not disappointed.  I found Steve to be a professional who wanted to not just get the job done, but get it done right. <br />   <br /> Steve and three workers handled the job in about six hours.  They began by scalping the weeds in the area to be sodded.  I had marked sprinkler heads, and none of them were damaged in the process.  Some dirt was brought in to cover where large tree roots had grown too far above ground.  They also cut away a long strip of ground along the sidewalk so that the new sod would be level with the walkway. <br />   <br /> They then carefully placed each piece of sod into a specific position.  The sod borders were overlapped rather than being lined up in checkerboard fashion.  Sod pieces were cut to fit into place along the curve of the sidewalk and along one property border that runs at an angle.  Steve worked alongside the crew the entire time. <br />   <br /> The result was that, when finished, it immediately looked like an established lawn.  People driving by would not have known it was newly-installed without looking very closely. <br />   <br /> Before leaving, the sprinkler system was tested to make sure no heads were damaged or obstructed. <br />   <br /> But there is more to the story.  I had originally contacted Steve and gotten an estimate for this project in the Spring.  Rather than just do the work, he recommended I first have the trees trimmed in order to provide better sunlight to the lawn.  And, no, Steve does not do tree trimming and did not make a referral to an associate who does. <br />   <br /> By the time the tree trimming was completed, it was mid-May and temperatures were already consistently over 90 degrees.  I contacted Steve, and he agreed it would be better to wait until the summer heat was over as it would be risky to try to establish a new lawn at that time.  That was a big risk on his part as I may well have never called back. <br />   <br /> Sod piece sizes are approximate.  There turned out to a shortage of about two pallets on my project, and the provider was not able to deliver more that day.  I had paid Genesis one-half in advance and the balance at the end of 10/3.  By that time, I was not worried they would leave the job incomplete.  They did indeed come back on 10/10 as promised and installed the remainder of the sod. <br />   <br /> Based on my previous experiences with contractors, it is also good to note what did not occur in addition to what was actually done.  The crew was never left to work unsupervised.  They did not just throw the sod pieces down in order to get the job done more quickly but positioned each one carefully.  They came prepared to do the job with their own equipment, water, and food and did not need to borrow anything from us.  Steve knew what was to be done and never bothered us during the day.  My neighbors were not disturbed as the crew had their own headphones – no blaring boom box. <br />   <br /> The best recommendation I can give is that I would not hesitate to use Genesis Landscaping again on future projects. <br />

They were awesome. They always return my calls very timely. They did what they said they were going to do. Upfront, honest, and very personable. They got the job done for less than half the cost of the other bids I got. I would absolutely use them again in the future.

Steve takes care of the lawn and weeds the flower-beds, comes twice a month.  He does a good job, which is important since I sometimes travel on business and cannot keep up with yard-work.

Two visits. 1st visit 3/25. Not a very good job, but, we had mistakenly watered and the grass was still damp. He complained, by email, about the dampness. We apologized and reset water. 2nd visit 4/8/11. Miserable job ! High grass areas, scalped areas and ridges. Mowed grass lay like hay ready to bale. No pride in workmanship. No respect for the homeowner. High price, low performance. I would advise avoiding this company. ( We gave the money for the rest of the month and told him not to come back !!)
Response from GENESIS LANDSCAPING SERVICES
"Our company always honors our agreement and makes things right whenever a customer isn't satisfied. We'd like to clarify that this customer was on an annual contract and the service cost was actually for lawn maintenance, 4 yearly trim of hedges and bushes and a large leaf clean up job annually, not just for lawn mowing and trimming. The service was set up as bi-weekly at $110.50 per month plus tax. We graciously let her out of a contract that stated she had to give 30 days written notice to dissolve the contract. Upon our first visit to the property the sprinkler system had just run. we were able to go ahead and service the lawn and we sent her an email request asking her if she could change the run time and thanking her. We did not complain about it. This isn't uncommon in our business and we simply ask the customer if they would change the run time. The second trip out was typical for Zoysia. It is a very thick and dense grass, and this lawn had grown a lot in two weeks. We have other customers with this grass and they know when they go bi-weekly there's an excess of clippings. We attempt to clean up as best as possible. This type of grass does best on a weekly schedule. In an attempt to make things right, after we received the customers offensive email we called the person that serviced the lawn to better understand what was going on and so we could get back in touch with this customer and make things right. Before we even had the chance to do so, within 30 minutes, another offensive email arrived from the customer that stated to keep the money and "Don't come back". This customer did not even give us an opportunity to do our job and make the situation right. They were so angry that the only thing we could do to make things right was to let them out of their contract. There was no chance given to us to do anything else. We have the utmost respect for our homeowners. Sometimes things like this happen. People make mistakes or have misunderstandings. We are all human. Nevertheless, we, here at Genesis Landscaping Service are disheartened that we were not given the chance to satisfy this customer and would like ALL our customers to know that we hold ourselves to a high standard of customer satisfaction and are committed to a job well done."

I am pleased with the level of service. I have tried to contract with other companies that offer lower prices, but they do not follow through and I have to call to remind them to cut the grass. With Genesis Landscaping Services, I have never had to do that. I just pay them once a month and they cut my grass on a bi-weekly basis. I do prefer Steve's personal service as opposed to his crew, but I understand that he cannot be everywhere all of the time.

I contacted this company initially to have the lawn mowed at a rental house. Later on, I had them trim up the trees and shrubs, put down mulch and again mow and trim. The work was performed on time and at a reasonable price. I found the owner to be very professional and responsive to my needs regarding getting this house to look good ("curb appeal") for sale. I have continued to use the service to mow and trim as needed while the house is on the market.
