Hired Dan do to a small patio for me. He not only did the job quickly, but also created a beautiful space for my family to enjoy for years to come!

Dan Mayer’s design firm exceeded my expectations on all levels. Most importantly, Mr. Mayer was able to streamline my hodgepodge of ideas into a truly beautiful landscape that I am able to enjoy year round. I am looking forward to having him return once the construction on my guest house and pool has been completed.

It’s rare to have someone do both design, tree selection and planting.

Anthony and Dan are certainly very pleasant and kind people, but they lack professionalism and capability to do a good job. They installed our fence crooked, it isn t anchored appropriately and has a large amount of sway, the panels are hung at different heights, they started the installation from the wrong direction resulting in it not meeting up with our house and patio properly. We also paid for half the job as a deposit so they could purchase the fencing, but when it came time to pick up the fence they needed more money because they spent our deposit and didn't have enough funds to pay for the fence. We asked them several times to correct the installation but they just dismissed our concerns and told us "it looks great, you will learn to love it". I really wanted to like these guys because they were so nice- but they did a very bad job.

Gaia proved excellent customer service and high-quality work. They were doing some difficult custom cuts on my DIY paver path. The owner, Dan, was a pleasure to work with. He was always available via phone/text to discuss project, estimate, and timing of work. His crew was even professional enough to call me that they were going to be 10 mins late. The crew was friendly, punctual, went the extra mile to do the best job possible, and cleaned up my backyard as if they were never there working. I only had the privilege of working with them for one day, but I have seen enough contractors to know these guys are actually honest, hard-working, and care about their results. I would definitely hire them again if the need arises.

Gaia is a great company in every way. The boss, Dan, is extremely knowledgeable, hard-working, creative, and fair. The crew are very talented, and extraordinarily decent people. I hired them to design and install a garden, and the result is nothing short of a work of art - without comprising anything on function. That, to me, is what makes Gaia really stand out - they can do it all, and will , but where they really excel is in their creative vision and love for their work. I will also add that while Gaia were on the garden project, my general contractor disappeared. I asked Dan for advice on how to get a range of other projects done. Gaia themselves took on some of the work, including designing and installing a sweet new deck and upgrading my windows. Where the tasks were outside of their capabilities, Dan gave me numerous and great referrals so I was able to rebuild a team. Frankly, I couldn't be happier than my general contractor disappeared. Next time, I'll go straight to Gaia!

Very personable. It was great to have this company come at a good time and set everything up immediately. We just put a house up and have had problems galore with service people. This is the first time there has been no problems with a service. I would recommend these people to everyone.

Snow Removal
They are frauds. I agreed with them to clean the driveway for snow removal. He showed up and did very little removal took the money and left. When I called and complained that he did very little he promised to come the next day and finish. He never showed up the next day or after that. Recommend Home Advisor to remove them from their site for dishonest services.
Response from Dan Mayer Design
"very difficult client to understand and impossible to please. residence was plowed clients asked for a second plowing of an additional lot expecting it for free and then canceled original payment. they simply wanted a free plowing I would not recommend any contractor to work with them. were all honest hard working family men in my crew trying to make a living. don't waste your time with these dishonest homeowners."

Snow Removal
This company robbed us. He clamped he went to the location and did the job so when he came to me that evening I paid him. Since I was not able to get to the location that evening. So I went the next day and nothing was done I could see he pulled in the driveway and plowed about ten feet into the driveway that's a hundred feet long. I m not sure I will use Home Advisor again or recommend it to others. I paid this thief $100.00. I tried reaching him by phone but no answer. After talking to others in my area, I was told he does this type of scam to others. Home Advisor needs to do a better job of screening. I will call police if I can't reach him which is what I'm trying to do.
