Leisure Landscapes Inc

I've been with Leisure Landscapes for years now. They do an awesome job with maintaining my front and back yard. They're very professional and hard working. I highly recommend them.

I had used them some years ago. After I went back to work I decided to get them back and now I'm using them again. I'd give them "A's" across the board.

Our experience with Paul from Leisure Landscapes was positive from the start. He created not only the most detailed quote we had seen from any of the contractors we interviewed, but he also created some drawings that projected what the project would look like when finished. The quoted price was typical compared to what we received from the other contractors. As the start date for the project approached, Paul let us know that they would be delayed. Ultimately, they were delayed by about 3 weeks. From that new start date, it then took about twice as long as expected to complete the project. During the work, I reviewed progress daily. Every time I had a concern about a portion of the work, I emailed or texted Paul, and he was always quick with a reply. When some matters required that I be on site, Paul or his foreman was always able to meet me there to work with me on an answer. There were a few instances when I had to ask them to re-do some work; for example, when they did not align the pavers in the walkway the way I had intended. To their credit, they always re-did the work for me without complaint and adhered to the guidelines I gave them. So, while I wish these things had been done right the first time, I was very pleased to get them done right the second time. Despite the delays in completing the project, we finished it on budget except for the addition of a few more yards of mulch. We are very happy with the work and the materials used, and we love spending time in our newly renovated back yard!

The general clean up was done in february and went well; they did a reasonably good job there, but after that it was all down hill and spiraled so. I was required to pay a month in advance of the service. In april they did not mow biweekly; it was almost 3 weeks before they returned, and the grass/weeds were so high you couldn't see my 50 lb dog lying down in the grass! They returned the first week of may for mowing, and then were not seen again for just about 3 weeks, at which time the grass was again significantly noticeably high; so much so that I got a nasty letter from my HOA, suggesting I "consult with a professional landscaping company". I promptly sent them a copy of my contract so that they could see with whom I had consulted, and the services that I was paying for. Their initial second mowing for may was actually one single pass up and back the width of the lawnmower in a single strip down the side of my property line and that was it! So it looked ridiculous for over a week until they returned on the 30th to complete the mow after several phone calls and emails from me. They did no pruning weeding or other care for all of april or may, until their last day of service with me on 5/30, at which time they almost left without completing except I was home and made sure they did the work that was contracted for. They also kept trying to pressure me to pay for the mulch, before they did the weeding or gave me any of the info I was looking for on plantings. I'm not a professional landscaper but I am reasonably certain that it makes no sense to lay down mulch BEFORE you weed and plant. They were given a detailed list of desired plantings, as well as a blueprint plan that I have previously paid for regarding how I would like the property to look over time. I made it clear that I am on a budget so would need/want to do plantings in increments. I have pics I would like to share because I believe one should have information/facts to back up such strong statements. When I posted a sign on my front lawn that said "this property is maintained by Leisure Landscaping" (in the poor state they maintained it) , 2 neighbors in my subdivision came by to tell me that they had used this company briefly in the past, but cancelled due to very bad/terrible service as well. The person (Rhonda) in the office seems very nice and attempts to be responsive; it is the owner Paul who makes one believe that the name "Leisure" in Leisure Landscaping is for the benefit of the company, not the client.

Really high quality work. The workers were extremely friendly. They really went above and beyond to make sure the job went perfectly.

The whole project turned out beautifully and looked just as we had hoped. Paul Martin, the owner, was courteous and charming when he came to gather info for the estimate, which came back promptly. The negotiations over price were very professional and courteous. Paul was very knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions for design and materials, all of which we turned out to be very good advice. He came by several times to check on the progress of the project. The two men who did the actual work were very hard working and always showed up as they promised. They worked cheerfully in spite of the terrible heat, and worked as long as they needed to be sure the project finished in a timely way. They seemed to be of fine character, very dependable, with an extraordinary work ethic. I would use Leisure Landscaping again without hesitation.

Though friendly, I found the services to be sorely lacking. After going back and forth with the company for most of this year, I have terminated our contract. The quality of work was not to my expectations. The irrigation system is still not working properly. Pipes installed to aid with drainage were not the proper pipes and were not buried deep enough. In addition, nothing was done to cover the area dug and old pipes were not removed.

Planning to redesign our front yard, we started researching available contractors. Leisure Landscapes seemed promising until I looked into our archives of estimates. When we moved into this house about 3 years ago, we contracted for lawn maintenance. Leisure Landscapes was one of the first to come by to give an estimate. My wife still remembers Paul Martin, who walked right into the house through the open garage door, past her, without so much as an introduction or a knock on the door. He crafted a well detailed estimate, with a very useful schedule of services including an actual drawing of the property (with suggestions for improvement). It was pricey so I asked which items were negotiable: essentially none. We settled on a more cordial and far, far less expensive. Our lawn doesn't look great but our wallet sure is green, and that's what matters most for us.
