LAZAR LANDSCAPE

Lazar price gouges and they are incredibly inept. We paid them in full for a large backyard remodel and they botched most elements of the job. We started to get a deluge of water in our yard after they installed an irrigation system (creating a swampland on our lawn and streaming down the retaining walls). They refused to troubleshoot the problem thoroughly. We were forced to hire someone else to dig up the irrigation system in order to investigate. We found gross negligence in the way the system was installed. There were uncapped tubes a foot underground pouring water into the soil. When the lawn was dug up to fix the irrigation, it was discovered that the sod was laid directly on top of hard clay (they just threw down some top soil) and rocks so it would never have seeded. In the contract, Lazar states they would roto-till the soil to a depth of 6" and use soil amendment under the sod but those things were not done. The stucco on the retaining walls throughout the yard is cracking, peeling and is discolored in most areas, just one month after the project ended. They planted plants that were not right for the climate and position in the yard, half of the plants died in the first week. After digging deeper into the materials used, we found that although we requested high quality materials and stressed this throughout the project, they used bottom of the barrel wood for the fencing. The project also ran over by one month. They did pay for the botched irrigation but refused to fix or pay for the lawn and stucco issues caused by both water damage and general ineptitude. We now have to pay more money to fix these issues. This company should not be in business.

Everything went very well. They were very good to work with, honest, great work, did everything the way I wanted, and they always cleaned up after themselves. I am very pleased.

It was mostly their web site that made me go with them. They just had really nice before and afters, and the really good distinct description of what they provide. People had really good reviews for them and then when the woman came out to do the quote, it was just obvious from her looking at all the work that had already been done that she knew. So, we have just like really good interaction with them and they have been, even though we have not started work yet, just super helpful and pleasant to work with. They are much more expensive, we have not done the work yet so I have no idea like if it is totally worth the money, but I assume it is judging by the other work that they have done.
