Gecko was professional and friendly the whole way through the process. They were prepared, talented and experienced. They had great suggestions and weren't offended with our input. They took extra care in protecting our front and back yards with their heavy equipment and were careful with the neighbor's yard as well. The owner worked very hard onsite and his wife in the office was great at communicating to us. They were also very good about staying within the budget we had asked for. I can't think of anything they could have improved upon. We are very pleased and would gladly give a reference.
Description of Work: We talked to 3 companies where a representative or owner came out and provided an estimate. Two companies were great to work with. Gecko was our choice to provide decorative rock and grading to control the erosion in our back yard and provide a nice contrast around our trees, bushes and previous landscaping we had done ourselves.

Heath & Scottie are top notch people to work with! Heath does incredible work with an attention to detail. Everything that has been done looks amazing. All the plants, sod, and the amazing 20' tree are growing like crazy. Everyone loves our backyard oasis. We had Gecko back out again last spring to help us figure out a solution with a severe drainage problem that was causing our pool liner to float. Our yard has a terrible slope due to us being at the lowest part of the neighborhood. There’s loads of run-off from the yard behind us when it storms. He provided us with the best solution to the problem at a very reasonable price to the point we had him do some stone work we wanted to do as well, again at a reasonable price. Needless to say, no more issues with drainage, and the stone work is art. The best part is when Heath is working things don't get at trashed in the yard, and when he's done it looks he's never been there other than fine work left behind to enjoy. Gecko Landscape Creations will always be our "Go landscaping company"
Description of Work: (1st time) 2013 - Lots of landscaping around new in-ground pool area and large concrete patio deck. Planting of a 20' red maple and new sod work. (2nd time) 2015 - More landscaping, stone work, and some major drainage work.

Owner came out and was very professional and cordial. After he left we were excited because we thought he was someone we could work with and would do a good job. But we never heard back from him with an estimate. When I called the "office", I got his wife who said she would check with him. I called back again a few days later and she told me he didn't think there was enough "hardscape" work to make it worth his while. We had been looking for an addition to our patio (probably concrete but maybe pavers) and a modest retaining wall. This was in addition to a new covered deck and a small amount of landscaping. He was going to sub out the deck. I'm not sure I understand how much work he would have needed but I can respect it if he didn't think there was enough work for him, but a call back would have been more professional and straight forward.

I was very disappointed. I was also disappointed that they did not have the courtesy to call me earlier to let me know that they could not help us or be able to come out to the house, especially since I needed it done by his graduation party which was the first week in May. I am glad that they are too busy to take on new clients, but they put me 2 weeks behind with other landscapers to try and hire.
Description of Work: I made an appointment with Gecko 2 weeks ago to come out and do an estimate on a replacement for my pool deck and then to repair pavers on my deck that were installed 10 years ago that some have shifted due to the dry weather from the past few years. I did need the work done by April 20th because of my sons graduation party. At the time of making the appointment it was not a problem. A day and a half before the appointment they called me and cancelled because they were too busy! I wasted 2 weeks of time because they cancelled at the last minute.

Response from Gecko Landscape Creations, LLC
Unresonable people are so funny. We never met, never agreed to do any work, never gave a price quote. We did call in advance of an appointement after further weather set backs and confirming addtional project work that was added to our schdule to let them know there was no way we could meet there deadline which we never agreed to in the first place. This is just another example of some one throwing a temper tantrum in a public forum after they didn't get there way. I mean what are we supposed to lie and not be honest with people. I feel like we did the right thing and called. Seriously you really weren't going to call anyone else for a comparison bid or anything. Look people things change we let them know we couldn't do the work which by the way we never agreed to do nor gave a proposal for in the first place. As far as I can tell we should be getting an A rating for being honest and having decenency to call and talk to them. What gives, we do everything we can to treat everyone right with the truth. Again we never met had no agreement it may not have been a project for us any way. Further we usually chosse not to work for people like this with unresonable expectations. The weather is totally out of our control its been awefully clod this winter. Good luck and things have a way of working themselves out.

Heath listened carefully to what we wanted and designed a beautiful patio and landscape. He is very responsive and receptive to questions and ideas and offered expert suggestions that enhanced the overall project. Either Heath or his foreman, Lucas, were on sight every minute of every day of work. All the workers were very respectful of our property taking care to clean up every night, by removing all debris, raking flattened grass, moving equipment off of grass and even sweeping dirt from the street in front. The installation of pavers is a process that was well planned and completed with careful precision. We highly recommend Heath and Gecko Landscape Creations. They completed a high quality job at the price promised.

Very satisfied with their work. They were easy to work with, took great care in all they did, cleaned up nicely each night, worked hard and got the job done quickly. We did have a slight problem and they were a bit slow to respond and fix it, but did get it done. I also would have appreciated a walk through at the completion of the job to make sure I was satisfied. Overall I still give them a high A and would recommend them and use them again.
Description of Work: Built a beautiful stone wall and patio on our lower level. Landscaped the eastside of our house and the area around the patio they built, and added a sprinkler head..

Description of Work: When I called this company, I was asked to describe the work I wanted done. I explained that I knew what I wanted done, but if they could come out and talk to me we would have a better idea. Repeatedly throughout the conversation I was told they only take jobs of $5000. or more and they were dubious I had that much work. Finally, they said they would call me back later to discuss it further and they took my number. They never called back. I have looked on their website several times and never found mention of the $5000 minimum. I am currently having the work done by another company and when finished will have spent almost twice what their 'minimum' job required.

Response from Gecko Landscape Creations, LLC
We do apologize for any misunderstanding. We returned the call the following day and left a message. We never heard back from this member. We felt the ball was in there court at that time to call us back for further discusion. We are selective of the work we take on and who we work for I am sorry if that came across in a negative way. It is hard in todays market to run all over town with fuel,labor and overhead without first having some basic understandings both of the type of work being done and budgets. Not all projects are a good fit for us. We try hard not to waste peoples time by first asking some simple questions and our project minimum is one of them along with some questions about materails ect. there are some things we don't do. Thus we try hard to find that out with some questions. Again I apologize for any confusion and I am happy to hear you are being taken care of. We think it is a fair expectation to ask some questions and have straight honest answers before commiting to sending someone out the the property. Its costs us money to send someone out for a meeting its only fair for us to have the opportunity to ask questions about the work in advance. In regards to our website our minimum project size is not on the site there is only so much information one site can have and we perfer the information on our site be related to the work we do. This is the first time since we have been in business this has been an issue so again I apologize.

The reason we did not go with them was because they were a little pricier, and we felt that another company had a more detailed solution to our problems. We would consider using them in the future.

My experience with Gecko was great. Heath came to my house on a Saturday to look at the scope of work. By Sunday evening I had an official quote. They anticipated 4-5 weeks before we could get on the schedule, but was able to fit us in 3 weeks later. The pond and waterfall far exceeded our expectations. Heath kept us very informed as to when he would be able to start and how long it would take to complete the project. I would certainly do business with Gecko again in the future.
Description of Work: Gecko Landscape installed a small fish pond with tiered waterfall.
