Generations Landscapz

We've just moved into a new development in San Ramon and dan macedo and his crew, Charlie, Abraham, Valintin, angel, Miguel, and jose, did the work in our backyard. It's BEAUTIFUL!! They put in pavers, tiles, flagstone, grass and a nice garden. They also built a small wall. The quality of their work is A++++! Can't say enough about Charlie, foreman & his crew of 5. They work hard, are very professional, respectful and they are perfectionists. I compare it to some of the other pavers work done in our neighborhood and generations landscapz is AWESOME. I don't know why Dan hasn't put his name on Yelp.

Worst!! Do not do business with this guy. He put a turf in my back yard and they did it completely wrong . After 6 months it was all tore apart and eventhough he promised to come and fix it he never did- he game me bunch of run arounds and finally refused to fix it.

These guys did a great job. Installed 4300 SQFT of new sod in only 3 days. Added new top soil, graded and inspected my sprinkler system. Once new lawn was in, reset my irrigation systems timer. Highly recommended

Before you consider this landscaper, read over some of the other negative reviews and read his responses to the reviews. You will see that he defends himself and the unhappy customer is never right. (home advisor, google, and porch.) Yes, he has a lot of positive reviews and it seems that if you have a large job, he cares, if it isnt large, he doesnt. I had a very small area (approx. 350 sq. ft.) that needed grass. I asked him for a quote and he said that he wouldnt lay the sod unless I paid him to put in sprinklers. (even though the area already had sprinklers that adequately watered the area. Im guessing he was trying to make a small job worth his time) I didnt want the sprinklers, but, I was getting anxious to get the grass in, so that my daughter would have a place to play during the summer, so I agreed to have him do the job. His quote said they would remove the existing rock, till and grade the area, install (the unnecessary) sprinklers, and lay the sod. Dan said that since it was such a small job that he would have to wait until another job in my area needed sod so that he could use the left overs. When they finally came to lay the sod, it looked dry. The workers did everything very fast and they didnt till or grade the area. After they were finished I noticed that it looked like there were a few different types of grass that were used (probably because he was using leftovers from a few different jobs) Within the first three days it started dying and turning yellow along the edges of each piece of sod. I let Dan know what was happening and he came to look at it. He told me not to waste any more water, let the whole thing die and he would replace it when he had another job in my area. Weeks went by and no contact from Dan. I called repeatedly and when I finally reached him, he told me to get the area ready, he would be out to relay the sod in two weeks. They day before he was supposed to come we prepped the area ourselves, tilling, grading, and laying down topsoil, since he didnt do that the first time. The day he was scheduled to come he didnt show up, no call, no text. Four more weeks went by, and after a number of unanswered calls and texts, I finally sent him an angry text questioning his professionalism. That finally got his attention and he responds saying that it was MY FAULT that my grass died, (even though he used leftover, bad, dried out sod) that I must not have watered correctly, (even though his guys are the ones who set up my sprinkler timer for 10 min 2x a day) and said wrong time of year to do it, Im broke and have no other jobs to pay for it. Direct quote from his text. If you were professional. You would have said all that in the beginning. (I have pictures of all his texts and the progression of the dead grass.) It may not have been a big deal for him because it was not a big job for him, but it is to me and my family. A thousand dollars and over a year later and I have nothing but a dirt patch with sprinklers that I didnt even want! He is only in it for the money, if you have a small job, he will take advantage of you or blow you off, cause its not worth it to him. He was unprofessional, dishonest, and didnt follow through fixing his mistake. I felt used, lied to, cheated, and blamed. If youre not going to do the job right, dont do it at all! Ive been fighting to try to get this resolved with him since March of 2017. Please, be careful when working with Dan Macedo.
