Our lawn has been the worst one on the block for the past couple of years. This year we noticed a ridiculous number of dandelions in the early spring. We discussed and decided to do something about it. We knew that if we could bring our lawn back to a healthy state, it would eliminate the need for pesticides. Well, it worked. By the end of the summer, we had one of the nicest lawns on the block, thick, green and lush. We got lots of compliments on it; it was well worth the money. We are optimistic about the state of our lawn come spring. Thanks Green Drop! Oh and Green Drop was great about giving us a call to let us know they were coming beforehand. I signed up for the package online and they were at our house for their first visit within a few days. Great service!

I first heard about Almac Landscapes from Homestars. They had a good rating so thought I would give them a try. It turns out it was a good decision. Pros (in no particular order): 1) Landscapers were very respectful of our neighbors who told us afterwards how happy they were with the quality of Almac's work (some of the work was on shared property so it was important that they also be happy). 2) Onsite crew went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with their work. They left extra sand and explained how to maintain our new brick border. 3) Onsite crew left the work area very neat and tidy when the job was finished. 4) The quality of their work was very high. We got plenty of compliments last summer and we haven't even completed Phase III yet. 5) When I requested extra bark chips in the newly installed beds, they accommodated my request. 6) Alan oversaw the entire project from start to finish which prevented potential miscommunication issues. It was nice to work with the same person for the life of the project. Looking forward to working with him again this coming summer (Phase III). 7) Alan was able to arrange meetings around our schedule which I appreciated. We have two children under the age of 3 so free time can be hard to come by in our house. 8) Very happy with the practicality of some of the suggestions during the design phase of the project (e.g. sidewalk blocks under the recycling/garbage/compost bins and at the shed entrance, etc.). 9) Grateful for suggestion that we build a platform over the gutter that extends along the back property line. It was a great suggestion which we took and are very happy with the result. 10) Alan purchased our aspens at Costco to save us money instead of purchasing them at the greenhouse as originally planned. 11) I could go on and on... Cons: 1) Don't take credit cards which would be a plus for expenditures of this size (it would be nice to get those extra points!!). An inconvenience but not a show stopper.
