The sad thing is that Many does good work. The patio is awesome and the yard ended up looking great. The enormous problem with Many is his complete lack of communication, as in weeks going by without a word. Additionally, Many doesn't like when you ask for something to be addressed with the work. He wants "his" money, and that is all. The customer is definitely not right with him. Our biggest issue was with the flashing on the gazebo. We looked at all of the pictures he had sent us, as well as the plan descriptions, and we couldn't find anything that said the structure would have so much galvanized steel flashing showing. We asked if he could fix this, as the flashing was exposed approximately four inches, and was an eyesore. He came out with one of his guys and went on and on about how this was industry standard, that 99.9% of all gazebos show this much of the flashing, etc. They then went on to suggest that I just stain the flashing, or put gutters up myself to hide is better! Wow! When we said we didn't like those options, Many flipped out and threatened to send us to collections to get "his" money, after we had already paid him thousands of dollars. We ultimately ended up getting quotes on how to correct the issue from other companies, and deducted the total from the remaining balance. Many is great if everything goes smoothly up front, and that you don't ask for anything other than what he is prepared to do. He is awful at communicating with clarity, does not take accountability for his work, or for the work that he hires out for. He bullied our family for the last few weeks trying to scare us into paying up. I would never work with Many again, and regret that we did in the first place. At least the work is better than the person.

Do not attempt to use this service as the dependability appears to be non existent.
Description of Work: I called the number and set up an appointment, and an alternate date as well, should something come up. I heard absolutely nothing from him in regard to either appointment time. I felt completely dropped. Will not attempt to use this service; I have procured another service which I am going to use.

If I give a review for service, it is either because the service was horrible or so good that my expectations were exceeded. This is one of the best reviews I’ve ever given. I could not be more pleased with our completed project. We are so proud of our beautiful yard that was professionally completed by Many's Landscaping. You don’t have to read too many of the reviews of other vendors in this section to know that most are crooks, liars, and thieves. It was refreshing to work with Many because he is a hard working professional man of integrity and character and that is hard to find these days. He is very easy to work with, works FAST, works with you to stay within your budget, and stays on task to get the job done on time. And, he has a ton of great landscaping ideas to boot! Furthermore, Many offers other services to compliment his landscaping business such as sprinkler system maintenance and lawn services such as mowing, fertilizing, snow removal, etc. I am a very detailed oriented guy. For this job, I researched about a dozen vendors, whittled that down to a short list of 3-4 vendors, and analyzed those vendors very thoroughly. Many was ‘heads & shoulders’ over everyone else on the short list. If you’d like to further discuss this with me, my name is Sam and my number is 970.481.5773.
