Gavin put in a retaining wall, rock around my pool, and prepped for a shed. He did an amazing job and I’m so happy with the final product. He was communicative and quick - once he started the job, he was done within a few days. I’ll be asking him to do more landscaping in the future!
Great experience with Lapenta Landscaping. Gavin is fantastic to work with — honest, fair, and very easy to communicate with. The quality of the work was excellent and everything was done exactly as promised. Really solid experience overall.
Gavin and his team are awesome. They bring a high level of professionalism, fair prices, and offered helpful design ideas.
We recently used LaPenta Landscaping to take down an old stone retaining wall that was starting to fall down and replace it. During the process a water issue was discovered. Gavin came up with a great solution to fix it and couldn't have been more professional about the whole situation. Gavin and his crew were extremely polite and helpful the whole time. They're definitely one of the best, if not the best company I've ever worked with!
Gavin’s crew did a great job with our spring and fall clean-ups. They worked quickly and thoroughly, blowing leaves far behind the tree line. They used backpack blowers, a very effective Windstorm Stand-On Blower, and they also hand-tossed sticks out of sight. The final look is clean and neat, at a reasonable price.
