Goins Landscaping

My wife and I recently decided to bring Goins out for an estimate/​consultation regarding an overhaul of our backyard.
Lenny (the owner) showed up to quote the job. He was punctual and courteous. He listened carefully to our needs and concerns. We told him right off the bat that we had a limited budget. He worked with us to try and find ways to save money, but still achieve our goals. Within a few hours, we had a quote emailed to us that reflected exactly what we wanted. Goins also accepts most major credit cards (yeah airline miles) Goins was hired!
The work began promptly and went off without a hitch. Lenny was almost always on the job site to ensure that the project was being done to our satisfaction. He remained in constant communication with us through out the week-​long job. My wife and I even had a mid-​job change that we requested of Lenny, and he didn’t even skip a beat. Lenny’s workers are hard working and courteous.
We had about 600 sq/​ft of sod installed, a sprinkler system installed, a DG pathway laid, a rock pathway laid, and tons of mulch put down. Our backyard looks amazing now. We’re very pleased. We will not hesitate to call (and refer) Goins for our future landscaping needs.

I needed to add a sprinkler line and have a shed platform built in my backyard. I called Goins landscaping and the work was done professionally and at a reasonable price. They gave some great suggestions while still keeping my best interests in mind. The work was completed within a week of making the initial call. No need to call anyone else!

After all said and done, we had worse sprinklers put in than we had and I still have several major plants without drip lines which is causing them to die. Nice guy, but the quality and follow through is lacking.

So, after checking out artificial turf and being turned away by the ridiculously high cost, my wife and I found ourselves looking for someone to sod our front yard at our new house. Checked out Unilocal and found 3 companies. Let’s start with the other two for comparison purposes… first one never called back. Wow, they must have so much business, they don’t need mine. Second called back after a day, quoted a price on the phone, but warned that didn’t include repairing my sprinklers if they were too shallow, because didn’t I know most were? Also (I mentioned I had another company (Goins) coming to quote the next day and I only had a rough estimate on the square footage… «give me a call back with the square footage the other company gives you so I don’t have to make an extra trip out there»… are you kidding me???) After those two, I was starting to wonder if Unilocal had steered me wrong for the first time since I started using it to find contractors. I have to admit I was a little apprehensive when Lenny showed up. Fortunately, that didn’t last long. Lenny listened to what I wanted, answered questions, measured, answered more questions, fixed my sprinkler head in the back yard that was leaking (for free!), made a suggestion to put a drip line in the garden around the area that the new lawn would be, and answered yet more questions. Then came the quote. Right in the ballpark, a couple hundred more than the other dude on the phone, but this included planting 3 king palms and running my drip line. Lenny also said if any sprinkler heads broke during the install, he’d just fix them, no worries. SOLD! (and he answered the phone and actually showed up to bid… leaps and bounds ahead of the competition already)
Fast forward a couple weeks, and its finally time to install the new lawn. Lenny shows up with a helper and removes my old lawn by hand with a shovel BEFORE roto-​tilling since it will apparently reduce the amount that might grow back. I was waiting for the additional cost for that to hit, but there was none. The project took most of the day, but Lenny checked in periodically to update me. When it came time to plant the palms, he even had my wife and I come out and find the perfect spots for them. While they were finishing, he showed me how to add tubes to the drip line for future plants in the garden around the perimeter, and left us a tool to do it and some spare parts. Lenny gave me instructions on how to care for our new turf, and is even going to drive by and check it in a week so the watering schedule can be adjusted properly. That is amazing service from a contractor, I have to admit, I was impressed. Oh, and regarding the quality of work, the lawn and trees look great!
This project was half of our front yard, which means there will be much more landscaping work in the years to come. I won’t hesitate to call Goins Landscaping for those projects, and don’t see a reason to call anyone else. Fair price, quality work, and awesome customer service.

Looking for someone to build a quality fence, repair and install irrigation and plant sod we had several estimates done with a whole host of characters, one wanted to tear up my driveway to expand the irrigation and another suggested we go «zero lawn» not knowing this East Coaster wants some real grass.
We chose Lenny and his crew with Goins Landscaping because of their fair bid, honesty and careful attention to detail while providing an estimate. Lenny took the time to answer my many questions about landscaping and the specifics of the job. He was dilligent in returning phone calls throughout the project which lasted quite a while thanks to our monsoonal weather pattern.
Lenny was open to suggestions and went above and beyond expected helping me secure rattling pipes going to the irrigation system. We wanted a wood fence with privacy lattice which Lenny working with me to build so it met our expectations. Lenny is a licenced contractor and as expected was professional throughout the job and his attention to detail let few questions arise regarding project design and cost. Now our former weed patch has been transformed into a beautiful lawn for the family to enjoy! I would highly recommend Goins Landscaping for you next landcaping project.

We had Goins Landscaping and his crew grade and install sod in front of our house. The price was reasonable, the results were good, and the experience was pleasant.
When quoting, Lenny was patient with our questions, had a lot of knowledge to share, and wasn’t pushy or desparate like some other local companies we had quote the job.
He is a licensed contractor, was always on-​site with the labor crew, and made sure the work site was clean and we were happy before the job was done. He even takes credit cards!
