Lawn & Beyond Landscape Solutions

Lawn and Beyond took our money and abandoned the job. Owner introduced himself as a licensed contractor. His employees insist he is a licensed contractor, however no information can be found by the state, city or county to verify that. We paid up front to take advantage of the discount. Once Lawn and Beyond has your money, you have to stay on them to do ANY work. We would go 4 or 5 weekdays at a time with no one working on our yard. When confronted, The owner always has an excuse which could never be verified. When various day labor workers did show up, they were here for 3 or 4 hours and left. The owner insisted we did not need a permit for a fence replacement or for a retaining wall that is 3 ft tall or under. He was wrong. We were fined for his beginning work without a permit. He insists he is right, but he cannot verify that. he called our city "retarted". Our fence is of less than poor quality. It moves, it is uneven, panels are already coming off. Pickets are cracking, wood is untreated, the gate will not close and drags on the ground. The posts are NOT cemented in as contracted and promised. The owner ignored all questions regarding the issues with the fence. Owner insists we have a 15 year manufacturer warranty, however when we contacted the fence manufacturer, we were informed only 10 of the 30 fence panels were purchased, the rest were hand built by L&B which voids the warranty. This explains the terrible craftsmanship, mismatched wood, and other issues. The manufacturer also verified they have never been out of these panels which is a claim that L&Bmade for one of their delays. *******FENCE NOT FINISHED******* L&B was contracted and paid to build a retaining wall of 68ftx3ft. Owner claims he ran out of materials not even half way through and could not explain why. What was built of the wall is not anchored and is bowing out. Owner could also not explain why he installed a fence and then put up a retaining wall when the job was to build a wall, raise the ground level and put in a fence. more

Google reviews of this company. Notice how the bad reviews have a consistent theme. The owner ... took their money for work he wasn't qualified to do, screwed it up, and quit showing up leaving a mess in his wake. Look at the photos these people have posted, including mine. You can see first hand the damage ... has done. All the good reviews are small simple jobs, like sodding a small backyard - things you could do yourself but prefer to pay someone else to do it because you have better things to do with your time. A lot of the good reviews sound really fake. I have tried to get details on a couple of the really big jobs and couldn't and find anything because there isn't anything to find. The $75k job that had a review should be poart of a public record and approved development plan, approcced bt a city or county, but it's not. I am a disgruntled customer and have a bone to pick with .... He took $8k from me and left me with a mess that cost at least that much to clean up. My point in providing this info is to warn you away from This company. Even if you think i am just ranting, consider this: It's been a year since ... ripped me off and I am still writing reviews about Lawn and Beyond trying to warn people. You can't trust sites like ...., (because companies pay to be in those databases, regardless of their claims that isn't The case) and half the time you can't believe reviews you read online. So is it really worth the risk to hire a firm that has as many really bad reviews as this company? Do yourself a favor and keep looking for a landscaping firm. Better safe than sorry. more
