Conscientious, trustworthy, with a personal touch

We chose ZGL to implement our landscape plan. Zac won us over with his thoroughness in reviewing the plan and suggestions for fulfilling our vision for the yard. This thoroughness and thoughtfulness carried over throughout the project. He was quick to respond to our questions and this attitude was present in all the workers, who were always friendly and courteous to us. They endeavored to please us, and they paid attention to detail. For example, Zak took us to several places to find the "perfect" rock for our fountain. Then the landscapers painstakingly curtailed the water to flow artfully over the rock.

Very Happy

My husband and I had a very positive experience with Zak and his crew. I was a little particular about what I wanted and made my strong opinion known. After many back and forth discussion via email and phone the project was started and I got what I wanted! Zak, as well as Lee stayed in contact and made sure we were satisfied. I know that there are some people who have given ZGL 1 star, as with any business (I am also a small business owner) I know you can't please everyone. I personally am VERY PLEASED and will be using ZGL in the furture. Thanks again to the crew!

Visionary, environmentally-caring, price-sensitive landscaping and lawn maintenance

We needed to transform our large yard from a decorative one with a lot of planting beds to an open space for kids to play with room for a trampoline - and we had a budget. We wanted something aesthetic and kind to the natural environment. The project manager drew up an innovative design that met our desires and our budget. The project started promptly and everyone involved worked steadily to finish in good time. ZGL employs truly talented landscapers who can give advice as they go along. Everyone was consciencious about checking in frequently for our input as the project progressed. They were transparent about costs and if any additional requests made the project more expensive, they said so up-front. They are professionals. They have all the right equipment to work efficiently and they are sensitive to issues such as equipment or materials having to stay on the public street. They cleaned meticulously at the end of the project and did a final walk-through wtih us to be sure we were completely satisfied before accepting final payment. They also maintain our lawn and sprinkler system. They give us lots of personal attention and advice and they are never pushy. They have freely coached us on lawn care to help us be more self-sufficient, even if that could mean less business for them. We believe that the individuals at ZGL are exceptionally knowledgeable compared to other landscaping companies. Most of them have formal education and training, and they stay up-to-date on the latest data about pesticides, herbicides, etc. Just superb!

Shocked I would never recommend them to anyone in fact I would bring his name up to stay away from!

What an untter disappointment and I was only as far as following up to get our estimate! I recommend staying away from this one. He assumed we were looking for a low bid or a "cheap job", if we wanted a cheap job we would be doing the work ourselves! When we met I told him I was looking for the best job, a sprinkler system like the golf courses have. I am not sure what part of that indicated to him that I was looking for a "cheap job". He also proceeded to belittle his competition, wow... By the way his competition has been above and beyond professional in comparison!

Great Team

Thank you Lee Villegas I enjoyed working with you. You and your crew were timely. You kept me informed as to what was going to take place and when. You especially made sure I was happy with both the work and the materials. You quickly changed anything that I wasn't sure about. It was fun to pick out my rocks. I can't wait until spring to see things green and in bloom. You and your crew were very neat and cleaned up my yard at the end of each day. I would definitely recommend you to others

sigh...honestly!!

How on earth could there be so MANY 5 star reviews of this company? IF you can get a call back from this guy then you must have a pipeline straight to Gods ear. He will throw any one of his his employees under the bus when a customer gets angry. He does NOT do follow up of ANY kind, honestly if I had a clue how to landscape WHY would I had hired a landscaper??!!

Very satisfied with the crew from Zak George Landscaping from Horsetooth Lake Estates customer

My first time to use this firm and I was impressed with their work, courtesy and followup afterwards. The Forman did a good job of keeping informed of work progress due to weather delays. I will use them again in the future.

Efficient and Professional - Highly Recommended

Zak's crew was able to complete our landscaping project in one day - and on a Saturday nonetheless! His crew was very professional and awesome to watch work in unison. He was very informative and answered all the questions we had regarding design, sprinklers, and plants. His crew was very hard working and knowledgeable as well. Call Zak George Landscaping and see what they can do for you!

Avoid at all costs

I have no idea why these other reviews sound 'so amazing', you think they must be written by the company. Our experience was dreadful. We had to chase them to return our call, and finally when the work was done, we had a disagreement on quality of work, and were told there was nothing they would do. We have never been treated like this by any business. Seriously beware the 'phony' 5 stars on this company.

Beautiful Work / Exceptional Service -- HIGHLY recommend

We've been using Zak George Landscaping now for 2+ years and have been thrilled with the exceptional work and professional service. We came across them by chance after seeing a yard that stood out in the neighborhood. ZGL came in and helped us from start to finish, from design to sprinkers & sod, plants & trees to some custom paver work and eventually our fence and pergola. We've actually had folks drive by and ask who did the work and eventually use ZGL. What has been most impressive throughout our experience is that this company has stood behind it all ... I would recommend them to anyone.

Never a problem with Zak George

We've had the pleasure of using Zak's services on several different occasions; adding a conversation pergola and grape arbor, as well as general landscape improvements. We could not be more satisfied. The work was done quickly and professionally. The onsite crews treated us with respect and integrated any modifications we suggested without hesitation. In the one instance we did have an issue (vendor's fault, not theirs), they rectified the problem immediately. Zak George and his crew are the only people we will use for our landscaping and lawn care needs.

Satisfied Repeat Customer by Sandy

For the last 3 years, I have turned to Zak George and his crew for my large and small landscaping projects. I have been very pleased with each job and continue to receive an abundance of compliments from neighbors and passerby’s. Zak is extremely knowledgeable about what thrives in our climate and I appreciate that he will go the extra mile to track down the perfect tree. Each spring, Zak has checked on our new plantings to ensure that they are doing well. I would highly recommend ZGL.

Guess Zak is too busy with bigger fish to fry?

I was looking to get a walkway redone with several steps along the side of my house. Also potentially redo a koi pond and turn it into a self contained small fountain pond with no fish. His recept took my appt, I waited a day for him to show up, he said they could do it in May but would send over a bid for work next week...ok...ok. I got an email this morning that said he was booked til June and NO BID submitted either. I wrote back an email saying he wasted my time. This is my first impression of Zak George Landscaping. At least he apologized in email about not getting to this til June. I can only guess a larger more profitable job was to be had and my business wasn't important to him. We will be living in Fort Collins for the next 20 years, and will be sure to remember this episode.

Wouldn't call back

I talked to them once about an easy fence project. They said they would look at it a get and call back that day. A week went by and I called back and left a message for them this time on the answering service and now it has been a couple weeks and still nothing. Guess they didn't want my business.

Comments from Repeat Customer

Since the Fall of 2007 when a landscape designer introduced us, I've employed Zac and his crew regularly. That fact, alone, shows what I think of Zac George Landscaping. Zac and his employees are knowledgeable, pleasant and obliging. I can ask no more.

Best all around

We have been using ZGL for 5 years, we were one of Zak's first customers. We feel that the service just keeps getting better. After our initial installation we call upon them for the usual seasonal tasks and they deliver! The best in town and not to mention locally owned, operated and family run. Its great to be able to support the George Family. Thanks for everything you guys are great!
