Goodboy Landscaping efficiently and professionally helped me realize my soft- and hardscaping goals and made me love my backyardl! The landscaping team levelled, graded, and installed sod to enhance an existing shade garden and previously installed patio. They connected the hardscaped areas with similar pavers perfectly to help me increase the overall use of my backyard. The team also efficiently and expertly ground down a large stump remaining from a previous tree removal. You’d never know a tree was ever there! You were right, Dan… the result of your work is an amazing backyard. Thank you and your great team for a job done well. I appreciated your openness and your transparency was refreshing. Your website’s online landscaping quote generator was a very helpful resource, paired with the itemized 10 step process for reference, also found online. I’ve already recommended your reasonably priced services to friends looking to re-work their existing yards, and would recommend anyone to consider your team. Thank you.

We moved into our new home in January and did not realize how neglected the lawn had been. We researched landscaping companies and liked the process that GoodBoy employs to remove and replace with a new lawn with a great price. Daniel and the GoodBoy team arrived on site on time and set to the project. The team, while young, worked like seasoned professionals and quickly prepared the property to receive the new lawn. The sod was ordered on the same day as it was laid so was fresh grass. We threw a few changes and new things to be added at Daniel but he was always happy to accommodate and get things done. In the end everything was to our complete satisfaction and we couldn’t be happier. We would fully recommend Daniel and his crew for all of your landscaping needs.

Lots of good things to say about Goodboy Landscaping. Dan, the proprietor, knows his stuff and is quite easy to talk to. His team, the same. Responsive (text, talk, and email), professional, and quality work are attributes I would attach to Goodboy Landscaping. Enjoyed having them grade/sod our backyard. Would highly recommend them.

Dan and his team did interlock for our backyard today and we are extremely satisfied with their work. They came on time, did a very clean job and did it beyond our expectations. The entire team is very friendly and knowledgeable. They know the work. We highly recommend them 👍

Today we had new sod installed. The quality of the sod is excellent. The workers did the job efficiently and perfectly. The owner was available and explained all the steps involved. We are very happy with our new sod. The yard looks great.

We are so happy with Goodboy Landscaping! They were really easy to work with, very professional and I love the end result. It was a fairly straightforward job giving us a new walkway and they did a great job and were meticulous with cleaning in the end. I'll use them again!

After 30 years, my lawn was dead. Dan's team saved the day! The work was completed in a timely manner. The price was good. The work ethic commendable and the site was left clean upon completion. The workers were courteous and hard working. Followup work was also excellent. It is rare to be able to have full confidence in suggesting these are the best landscapers in town and I have had some bad experiences with others. I could not more highly recommend Dan and his team for any landscaping project that needs to be done. I have again hired them for river rock enhancement for the lawn. Outstanding!

Dan and his team were very professional, even with the thunderstorms causing delays, he was very adament about keeping me up to date with his scheduling. His team worked very quickly and even went the extra mile in helping us outside the scope of our agreement to resod our lawn. The little things were really appreciated and would definitely recommend Goodboy Landscaping. As a bonus, his quote and final price were excellent.

Service - Landscaping, River Rock and flagstone installation. Right from the quoting process, I was thrilled to work with Dan and his team. Pleasant, kind, on time, responsive and extremely focused on ensuring everything met my expectations. They worked around an in progress deck, adjusted items based on my review (and did this happily), and did an excellent job bringing our vision to life. Every member of the team that we met was pleasant and easy to work with. We even had an adjustment needed well after the job was completed, and Clinton came well at the end of the day before a long weekend to ensure it was fixed and to make sure everything looked the way we wanted. We have the front to do next year and we are excited to work with the Goodboy team!

Special thanks to Clinton, Sam, and Watti for working long hours and getting the job done in a timely matter so we can enjoy our summer outdoors!

Hands down the best experience weve had with a tradesman ever (we bought a minto home 3 years ago and have tons of experience with tradesmen) Not only were they accommodating, kind and had great communication skills, they were also clean and considerate to myself and kids! The job itself looks amazing, their attention to detail is unmatched. I would highly recommend them and most definitely use their services again. Also fair and very competitive prices! Thanks so much guys! Take care!

The price was certainly right, but the experience was wrong. The plan submitted two months in advance for our lawn was not complicated but would have benefited from a little advance communication. We provided a diagram but no one on site had seen it or had a copy. The crew was pleasant but clearly inexperienced (the lead guy did not know what a perennial was) and no amount of supervision could achieve consistent curves or straight lines. 48hrs after the lawn was finished, following a big rainstorm, a drainage issue arose. Goodboy came back once but the issue was not corrected. I offered more money to return to fix that which should have been done as part of the original job (even if it cost more), only to receive a curt response from the owner. I would have paid twice as much to have the job done well, with an eye to detail. Not the experience I expected and not one I would repeat.

2nd time using Dan and his crew for work around our yard. Dan installed some river stone for us, and put in a rock garden with 2 large boulders in the yard. Very flexible in adapting to a couple of last minute changes, and the work was completed as we requested. Very reasonably priced, great value for money - I highly recommend Dan and his team if you want any landscaping done around your house.

The absolute worst customer service I have experienced in my life, hands down! Better stay away from these guys for any project that might require follow-ups (as any projects might, and most usually do) Hes almost guaranteed not to show up...esp. if you already paid. They were supposed to re-sod portions of my yard; I wanted to include more areas after the initial quote and gave him more than enough notice in advance before the start date. He claimed he will just take the measurements on the day-of, but then ran out of sod at the end of the day. Not to mention he blamed me for wrong measurements . Either way he promised to come back in a couple of weeks . When I inquired after a couple of weeks, he said he will show on a certain date when they have another sod job nearby. I email and call that day to confirm, and he keeps ignoring, until he finally replies saying stop emailing me every day, I come when I come . It s now a month later and still no signs of him Just do yourself a favor and don t let the lower prices fool you you always get what you pay for, and in terms of customer service, this is as bad as it gets. PS. (responding to your reply) Do not try to misinform future customers. I told you about the additional work weeks before the start. You refused to come measure the additional sections till day-of the work, so dont make it sound like the customer was unreasonable by requesting more work last minute. Also, you never respond to any emails and didnt show up the days you said you will (when you claimed you had another sod job nearby) so once again, it looks like blaming the customer is your go-to response.

Great and beautiful landscaping done in my whole property. I asked for the whole package and I got what I wanted. This guys are the max. Never seen landscapers work hard as they did. The job was done in 3 weeks total for driveway interlock, sod and river stone, mulch, patio interlock and interlock steps. They also gave me some suggestions on plants that would look great with my property and it did Dan likes to call it the finishing touch. I Absolutely recommend Goodboy landscaping to anyone needing to have landscaping done or redone. Great affordable price and great proffessionalism.
