Reviews

What customers say

Several satisfied customers praise the design collaboration and finished gardens; one called Lisa a “great idea partner” in design and planning, while another was pleased with the planning, communication and billing and said the work finished on schedule. In contrast, one client said the project manager disappeared midway, the owners stopped returning calls after being asked to help, and the client felt the result needed correction; another reviewer called an owner's yelling at a crew member during lawn maintenance unprofessional.

Customer Reviews

Paul Valenstein

We used Lazar Landscaping to re-landscape our entire yard — front, back, sides, hardscape, plants, irrigation, and lighting. We were happy with the planning, implementation, communication, and billing process. The project finished on schedule and there were only one or two days when someone wasn’t on-site working on the project. We would use them again, but have no yard left to landscape.

I had the pleasure of working with Lisa and Maribel at Lazar to renovate my backyard. The process was easy, efficient and the results were above expectations. Lisa was a great idea partner for the design and planning of the project and Maribel and the Lazar crew executed everything perfectly. The team was also very professional, transparent and went out of their way to ensure I was satisfied with everything. 10 out 10 and would 100% hire them again for a project.

Lazar Landscape came every two weeks to maintain our front lawn. The lady owner was yelling and screaming and flailing her arms at one of the crew members outside our place. It was so unprofessional. Anybody who treats their employees like they are 2nd class citizens does not deserve my business.

Their project manager disappeared halfway through the project and when we asked the owners to come back and help us get what we wanted they stopped returning our calls. Also, they wanted us to sign up for monthly maintenance for $500 in which they would basically mow and blow and make sure the lines were running. The end result looks totally amateur and we now need to hire someone to come and fix it.

Michele Slack

My experience with Lazar Landscape and their designer Barry Sacher was everything I hoped for. Before Barry and her crew started, my back yard looked like an overgrown vacant lot. Now it is a beautiful and natural extension of my home as well as a place I enjoy every day. Barry really listened to my ideas and needs for how I wanted to use my backyard. She came back with multiple creative designs that truly reflected what I was looking for within my budget constraints. Once we finalized the plan, Barry walked me through the entire process so their would be no surprises. Once we moved from concept to execution, Barry brought in her crew. They came in on time and on budget. They even went beyond the original plans including some additional work without charging me any extra. Throughout it all Barry and her crew were wonderful to work with. Barry was responsive via both phone and email, was a great listener and had a wonderful array of creative ideas and solutions to offer. She takes a lot of pride and care in her work and it shows in the finished product. I now have an amazing backyard that I enjoy with my friends and family. It is incredibly low maintenance which was one of my key requirements, drought tolerant, beautiful and has lots of different spaces to enjoy. I get compliments on it every time someone sees it. I would highly recommend Barry and Lazar Landscape.
