I get it, its COVID time. All businesses are stretched thin and struggling to survive. Thats why I wanted to purchase products or hire them for a project; you know, buy local! However, after multiple phone calls and emails, I never did get any response about costs and such. I did all the leg work on plans and dimensions for the project and they couldnt be bothered to even return an email. So.my business and money went elsewhere, and I love my new landscaped yard!

They take care of the plowing at my apartment complex. They rarely come before 9am, meaning we all leave for work in snowy conditions. This morning when I was cleaning my car off, after they'd plowed (around 9:30am) the truck pelted me (and my car) with salt three times as it went back and forth. The driver was completely oblivious it seemed, although I was the only person outside and very visible in my isolated spot. The salt sprayed high enough it could have hit my face or eyes. Very irresponsible.

The Garden City Groundskeeping team landscaped my front lawn, and I was delighted with the job. Not only did my new garden and lawn look stunning when the job was completed, but the landscape staff were very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. They were a pleasure to deal with, and I would highly recommend their services.
