Liapis Landscape & Design

True professionals from start to finish. Not often do you have high expectations for something because the sales person is thorough about your project but then to have those expectations blown out of the water, wow. What they did for my lawn beds, shed pad, grading of the lawn itself, and parking pad are nothing short of miraculous. I wouldn't hesitate to call Phil and his team again to get the job done right.

Absolutely the best. Perfectly and personally tailored to our needs. Phil KNOWS what he’s doing and the service crew is amazing. This team operates with integrity and perfectionism of the best kind. I appreciate the direct feedback and solutions and you can’t beat the overall experience, service and price.

As a property manager, finding reliable, high-quality vendors can be one of the most challenging aspects of the job — but working with Liapis Landscaping has made it incredibly easy. Their exceptional service has not only lightened my workload but has truly elevated the appearance of the communities I represent.

Homeowners and board members alike have consistently commented on how beautiful and well-maintained the properties look since Liapis began their work. Their attention to detail, consistency, and pride in their work are evident in every project they touch.

I would especially like to commend Justin, who has been absolutely fabulous to work with. His professionalism, responsiveness, and proactive communication have made all the difference. I always know that when Liapis Landscaping is involved, the job will be done right — and beautifully.

Thank you to the entire Liapis team for making my job easier and for helping our communities shine!

Phil and the team were a great help with our water problems. We worked with a landscaping company last year on them and they only made everything worse. (Previous review on my page).

Not only did Phil have to fix everything they screwed up, he had to deal with my yard from hell. I don’t know how the first landscapers didn’t catch it, but our yard sits on a natural spring. So, water is always 2 feet below the surface.

Phil and the team worked through this issue, even if it was a challenge. We now have a nicely graded yard, water mitigation, and patio to help stop water from getting into the house. 10/10 recommend.

Landscape Project - Beautiful finished product: stone walking path, lights, shrubs and sod (also drainage and grading).

We use Liapis for lawn mowing and yearly bed maintenance but had never used them for any significant landscaping or hardscaping. In March of ‘23 we were ready to undertake a fairly significant project and met with Phil a few separate times to discuss our objectives. We needed to repair severely damaged sod in our backyard with something durable and aesthetic that could withstand the rigors of dogs and kids. Phil was energetic and enthusiastic about the potential for our project while immediately recognizing latent issues that needed addressing (e.g., drainage). After a few follow-up appointments, Phil concluded that a stone walking path combined with new sod (at a more appropriate grade) would be our best bet. His conclusion was dead accurate.

Fast forward to June. The install team, led by Mike, was superb. They were meticulous and conscientious. They were also patient with this hands-on homeowner. Worth specifically pointing out: the underground irrigation was constantly observed; they never used their machinery in its vicinity and hand dug around everything. There were no cuts, leaks, or broken sprinklers at the end of the project. Also worth noting: they were always willing to make incremental changes—at this hands-on homeowner’s behest— to something they had already finished. If a bush needed moved two feet to the left, they happily moved it. Last noteworthy point: to access our yard with their Bobcat, the guys needed to drive through our neighbor’s adjacent lot, which expectedly ruined their grass. But this was taken into account from the outset and new sod was installed on our neighbor’s land at no charge.

Phil is a gregarious, intelligent guy who is fun and easy to work with. He is also honest. So it is only right that this review be honest, too. There were some frustrations throughout the project, most notably communication. It was particularly difficult to ascertain the install schedule and where we fell within that schedule. It was also difficult to understand what was the team’s objective on a given day and what was the objective after that. Many emails and inquiries were sent about when the team would be out to work, and what they would be working on.

All this was rectified, though. We spoke candidly to Phil about wrapping up the project and what was needed and by when. His office team, led by Kayla, made an effort to be attentive and more communicative, especially when it came to identifying who would be out, what they would be doing, and when. And with a deadline looming, Liapis responded promptly and professionally—they made it a priority to complete the project by our required date and did so with no sacrifice to the quality of work. We wound up with a stunning stone path and a lush sodded yard. There was no compromising when it came to materials; everything was first rate.

By hiring Liapis, you will have the pleasure of working with Phil, who could pass for a nightclub entertainer or standup comedian. He is friendly and legitimately interested in your goals. He is also extraordinarily capable and will actively participate in the evolution of the project to ensure its success. You will also be treated with respect and patience by the front office. But most importantly, you will get a beautiful work product at a reasonable cost. Liapis has the resources to handle a large-scale project, and the touch to handle it like a local business. We will continue to use them for many projects in the future.
