They built a new wall with lights very happy with the outcome. They showed up promptly and within a couple days had removed all old Landscaping and completed the job. Don’t hesitate. Everyone from the owner Gino to the workers and staff were very courteous and helpful. GLC does awesome work… Thanks again Gino and staff, David C. **★★★★★ — HU-683960769, May 2026** > GLC Landscaping, owned by Eileen and Gino, did an amazing job on our brand new home build. They installed sprinklers, sod, and a brand new fence, and everything turned out excellent. > > Eileen and Gino are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and clearly take pride in their work. They also went above and beyond by doing their homework on municipal utilities, approvals, and requirements, which made the entire process smooth and truly turnkey for us. > > My wife Amanda and I couldn’t be happier with the final results. We give GLC our highest recommendation and would absolutely use them again. **★★★★★ — Fred H, May 2026** > After reading the other reviews, I’m not sure there’s much more I can add—but I can absolutely confirm every word. Over the past two years we’ve completed two projects with GLC, and there’s a reason we went back to them. They are by far the best company we’ve worked with, start to finish. From the office team to Gino to the crew on site, everyone is considerate, professional, and genuinely a pleasure to work with. The job site was maintained and cleaned at the end of each day so well you’d think they were working on their own homes. It’s only been a few days since the project wrapped up and we’ve already received multiple compliments from neighbors walking by. If we have any future projects, GLC will be our first and only call. **★★★★★ — Lee Cacicedo, Nov. 2025** > We are absolutely thrilled with our new pool! The entire installation process was seamless and efficient. The team — Gino, TJ, Feliciano, Melchor, Vicente, and Claudio — was professional, courteous, and extremely respectful of our property and the neighbors. > > The pool itself is stunning, and the patio turned out perfectly. The design fits our backyard perfectly, and the craftsmanship is truly top-notch. We can’t wait for next summer to spend countless hours swimming and relaxing in our new backyard oasis. Highly recommended! > > This was our second major backyard renovation/design project with GLC, and we’re sure we’ll be working with them again in the future. A special thank-you to Eileen for keeping us informed and updated throughout the entire process! > Nick & Lee **★★★★★ — Mike Emery, June 2025** > From start to finish, GLC showed up and did everything they said they would do and more. My expectations were exceeded and I would recommend them without hesitation. GLC installed an inground fiberglass pool, patio paver patio and deck and built an amazing outdoor kitchen for us. The crew worked fast, respected my yard and were courteous to my neighbors. They cleaned up everyday so my yard always looked tidy. Great company! **★★★★★ — Bob RobertH, Sept. 2023** > GLC was hired to completed several contracts. Nick and his crew (Mike, Jimmie and Boyd) preformed superbly. Several trees needed to be removed from the Association's property after a wind storm. Nick and Boyd led the crew in their removal and were quick, efficient and clean up the area upon completion. > > Mike and Jimmie troubleshot and repaired our sprinkler system after being torn up by another contactor. I had to fire the first contractor due being unable to troubleshot the problem. Mike and Jimmie had it resolved and repair in two days. Took a day to gather parts. > > Nick's crew were also hired to straightened our roads signage. Another job well done. > > Their pricing was better then other companies in the same business. We recommend them without reservation. **★★★★★ — HU-984712692, Oct. 2022** > I contacted GLC for a quote on a landscaping refresh based on a referral from a business acquaintance I received a prompt response to my inquiry, and an appointment was scheduled within a few days . The consultation was thorough , and every effort was made to understand my preferences and work within my budget. > I was kept abreast of the timeline, and the work began as scheduled. There were no delays, and my yard was left looking beautiful. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and with the outcome. I have since referred family members to GLC confidence. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with GLC for any landscaping needs in the future! **Comment from GLC Landscaping & Pools:** > Thank you for the GREAT review! It is wonderful to hear that from beginning to end we were able to provide you with the excellent experience we strive to provide all our customers. I'll be sure to share this review with the team. If there is anything we can do for you in the future please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you again for choosing GLC, we appreciate you! **★★★★★ — william diaz, Aug. 2022** > The GLC experience is top notch and customer centric from quoting to cleanup. The entire organization from the owners, front office, and crew are professional making you feel like a VIP and that your project is their priority! > Our existing porch, paver walkway, and bushes next to our house were outdated and an eyesore. Besides the negative appearance, this was not functional or safe for our family and guests. After searching both facebook and nextdoor for companies in our area we called and spoke to Eileen who directed us to upload our information to the user friendly online quotation tool. She called to clarify a few details and scheduled an onsite estimate. Gino arrived on time and his consultation method was asking us about our need for the updated steps and walkway, my wife’s preferences on colors and gardening habits. He walked around the house with us to design something that would tie the front yard to the rest of the property. > My wife says "He Listens to you, I mean actually listens and takes his work personally to both enhance and match the home." He sketches out a vision listing all elements of block shapes and locking patterns, rock selection, plant colors and heights, and especially the arrangement that would highlight and accent the work. He finished our visit stating “put your trust in me” and we are glad we did! > The crew are also very respectable, while onsite they were courteous while we are working from home and to the neighborhood traffic during the construction. The crew are quick, consistent working times, hard working, and expressed an attention to detail. We had several pieces cut with precision that result in paver layouts you would see at a luxury estate. > The finished project has such a "wow factor" that they live up to their slogan on the trailer "Let's make your neighbors Jealous." > We highly recommend GLC and can personally attest to their work. > Looking forward to having additional projects by GLC in the years to come. **Comment from GLC Landscaping & Pools:** > Thank you, Will. We count ourselves lucky for customers like you! The process was a breeze from start to finish with the two of you also. Look forward to many more projects to come with you as well. Thank you so much!! Enjoy that new grand entrance. **★★★★★ — pattyjon, May 2022** > Project planned, scheduled, and completed beautifully!!! The office team and the install team were professional and worked hand in hand. Would highly recommend and will use their services again. > Pat O'Donnell **★★★★★ — Sheri Soloway, Feb. 2022** > I was not only impressed with the design of my new landscape but how professional and courteous the landscapers, office staff and management were before/during and after my project was completed. Many of my neighbors were also very happy with their landscape projects. **Comment from GLC Landscaping & Pools:** > Thanks, Sheri! We appreciate your review, business and the time it takes to tell others about your experience with us! Thank you for choosing GLC! **★★★★★ — Bill Smith, Aug. 2021** > This is my second time using GLC and once again Gino and his team completed an outstanding job. During the quote process I explained to Gino what look I was trying to accomplish. Gino quickly pointed out what needed to be done and used his expertise to recommend a different approach which 1) improved my vision of the project, and 2) saved me money from what I thought needed to be done. > > This is a great family business in which I am proud to support. I will certainly use GLC again. **Comment from GLC Landscaping & Pools:** > Thanks, Bill! We appreciate your trust and your continued business! **★★★★★ — Kate R, Nov. 2020** > We had a great experience this Summer/Fall with GLC- our family moved into a new build and we were working with a blank slate. After a few meetings and conversations with Gino we settled on plans for our dream yard and patio complete with sod, lighting, landscaping, sprinklers, and a fire pit and surrounding patio. We couldn't be happier with the results- we love our yard and the fire pit/patio that Keith and his crew worked on. All of the crew members were respectful and they all worked together like a well-oiled machine. We continue to receive compliments from visitors and neighbors and would definitely recommend working with the GLC team in the future. **Comment from GLC Landscaping & Pools:** > Kate, Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience with us! It is wonderful to hear that Gino and Keith were able to provide you with the excellent experience we strive to provide all our customers. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
