What recent reviews say

Breakaway delivers polished hardscape and garden work with Doug and his crew earning consistent praise for listening to clients, executing designs with care, and keeping schedules tight. One significant complaint about a five-month delay on brick repairs and a $1,500 labor-only charge sours an otherwise strong track record; most recent reviews emphasize reliability and communication over the past few years.

  • precision craftsmanship
  • reliable crew
  • attention to detail
  • fair pricing
Watch-outs

Worth knowing

HR Greenroots Landscaping

4.9(53)✓ Google-verified

Reviewers consistently praise the team's speed, professionalism, and the visual quality of completed projects. Sod looks dense and mature, decks and interlocking installations are clean and well-finished, and staff like Raj, Happy, and Satnam earn repeated mentions for their skill and attentiveness. A persistent caveat surfaces: follow-up visits for minor work or adjustments go unconfirmed, with customers waiting for callbacks that don't materialize. Pricing is described as fair to competitive, and the core installation work is strong, but post-project reliability appears inconsistent.

Lawn Troopers earns near-unanimous praise for showing up on time with crews that work without rushing through jobs. Reviewers name Brandon, Kenzie, Rhiannon, Aliyah, Savannah, and others repeatedly, crediting them for weed control, garden cleanup, mulch work, and lawn restoration that customers say transforms overgrown spaces. Teams are described as pleasant, knowledgeable, and willing to advise mid-job; one reviewer noted Brandon resolved dying grass after treatment and another praised the same technician for mosquito control results. Families using the company for years report consistent satisfaction. Pricing goes unquestioned in all reviews shared.

Mayascapes Pools

Mayascapes pulls together pool construction, landscaping, and stonework into one coordinated backyard transformation. Reviewers consistently praise the team's ability to handle everything from grading to permits to installation, and they highlight how the finished pools and patios actually get used and feel like an integral part of the home. Installation quality stands out: fiberglass pools are noted as sleek and low-maintenance, pool areas integrate naturally into the landscape design, and the crew provides care throughout the process. Several reviewers mention they avoided the hassle of managing multiple contractors by choosing a single team, and they appreciate receiving maintenance guidance after the job is done.
