Landscaping reviews in Cleveland, Ohio

TJ installed our 3 patio areas 10 years ago and they performed design/install work that others couldn’t or refused to do. He and his crew are excellent!!

We recently had them back to recondition and repair and the areas all look brand new.

Highly recommended!!

I contacted several hardscape developer's for a paver patio, only TJ showed up on time. TJ was willing to work with in the budget I had in mind. He put together a beautiful proposal for the paver patio which will be installed in the spring. Reallly looking forward to enjoying it.
I will update the review upon completion, but so far, he has exceeded my expections.
Thank you TJ!
Pavdr patio was installed earlier than scheduled. The crew showed up on time and worked hard the entire time. They also answered any questions I had and was courteous and professional. I did have 1 concern and TJ sent someone out the next day to address my concern. As far as I'm concerned, they did an outstanding job! Absolutely loving the patio.
Thank you TJ

Tens years ago, TJ and his crew did a great job installing our back and side paver patios. We recently had them back to install a sun-shade system over the back patio involving an 18'x12' sun shade and four 6"x6"x16' posts. The finished project is quite impressive and their work fully exceeded my expectations. Working with TJ is easy...he's professional, cordial, and very talented. Highly recommended.

They did a brilliant job fixing another landscaper's poor attempt at installing a front porch patio, which was uneven and unfinished after 2 tries. They completely regraded the base so that it was at a consistent pitch and re-installed the pavers. It was a tricky job given the slope of the cement driveway and a number of other issues, but their solution was perfect and now i have the porch i imagined. TJ and his crew are the most knowledgeable and honest people i have ever worked with. I am looking forward to my next project with them!

My backyard was essentially deemed "unusable space". I had a large sloping grade with a tough access point that presented quite a challenge. TJ's Landscaping drew up a plan, executed that plan, and did it all in 12 working days. With incredible vision and attention to detail, my backyard is nothing short of amazing. Extremely high quality work, good business ethics and overall an excellent company to partner with for a large project. Tough to find contractors with these traits today. Super happy with the results of my project and would highly recommend TJ to anyone looking for quality work.

TJ Farinacci does fantastic work! I would highly recommend calling for your landscaping project. He transformed our front yard and walkway! His team on the ground is professional, hardworking, clean and courteous! Hit timeline and budget.

Honestly one if not the best experience we have had with a company. The owner T.J. is extremely knowledgeable and takes his time to listen and give ideas on your project.

We had our pavor patio re-done, landscape around our ac (with pavers) unit and patio, yard leveled (seeded/hay) and a new paver walkway to the backyard along with paver area for our trash cans.

The crew of Ryan, Bill and Jared did a amazing job. Very friendly, great attention to detail and the clean up daily was like they were never here.

If you're looking for a company to actually respond to your inquiry, great rates, take care of your property, have a stress free project experience... look no further, T.J. Farinacci Landscaping is what you're looking for.

We recently had T.J. and his crew come install a patio in the back of our house. Their work is very impressive, many of our neighbors came over after the project and complemented the craftsmanship. The crew is very professional, come on time, and manage their time efficiently (took only 2 days for complete install). They also make sure to clean up, they constantly raked the dirt off the grass and kept the area very clean. I would definitely recommend going with this company. Very professional and do a great job.

I contacted TJ to put in new landscaping and lighting for our front yard. TJ was responsive, prompt, and reliable. He showed up when he said he would and his crew was friendly and efficient. We love our landscaping! We highly recommend them!

TJ and his team are awesome! They were recommended to us by our neighbor and friend who did two patios with them. We are thrilled with our patio, and the process to get it done was probably the best experience you can have with contractors. TJ was easy to work with design-wise. He started and finished the on time, in only one week! He was also very flexible as we had a design change in the middle. You definitely get what you pay for: high quality and a smooth construction!

Didn't even get an estimate as the simple mention of getting other estimates made him tell me via email that:

"If you're looking for the lowest price,we will not be the company for you."

I actually have a $30,000 backyard makeover being planned and just wanted to get an idea of what different companies had to offer. I would have gladly paid whatever the estimate was if the plans were to my liking. I am not sure what made him stereotype me as couldn't afford him or being cheap, but that was rude. If you only service certain types of people or certain neighborhoods put that on your website so only the type of people you want reach out to you! I will look elsewhere where my business is wanted.

TJ and his team are the best around. From design, workmanship, collaboration, materials, and overall experience, his work lasts and is done the right way. No detail is overlooked and things are done as if the work was being done at his own home. We will gladly recommend him to family and friends, and utilize him for future projects.

TJ and his team were excellent to work with! Very professional and action oriented from the first conversation through the completion of the project. TJ and team designed and installed our stone patio and it was completed exactly as designed. Will be using them again and recommend to all.

I can't say enough about TJ and his crew. They were always on-time, professional, easy to communicate with, they worked efficiently (2 days from start to finish) and true craftsmen. Imagine making brick look this fluid! Our new patio is graded away from our house, so they solved our old problem of water seeping in the basement too. This is our second experience with TJ Farinacci. He installed a new walkway in front of our house four years ago. We were so pleased, we hired him again to build the patio. I'm including some photos of the finished patio. Very, very pleased with the results.

We just had the pavers in the backyard completely restored. The crew from TJ were very fast and professional given the huge section of pavers we had. The work done was so thorough! They sanded, sealed, repaired, re-leveled, fixed borders and edges, you name it! Two days and the whole thing was done. And the pavers look amazing! They were extremely respectful of the property. After they were done, you couldn't even tell they were there with how clean they left it! Communication with the company was excellent. 10/10 I would definitely call on TJ again for any future paver work and have even recommended them to some of our neighbors who are considering getting paver work done as well.

We desperately needed a landscaping business to guide us on what to do with the steep incline in our backyard. We had several quotes from various companies, but only one, TJ Farinacci Landscaping, took the time to consult with us and give us tangible ideas on what could be done. TJ drew up a large scale plan on what he proposed could be a workable solution. He made sure we liked the plan and discussed everything from plants, stones, mulch and also the color and placement. His crew is exceptional and has a strong work ethic which resulted in producing high quality work. TJ's belief in the virtues of integrity, hard work, loyalty and being respectful to his customers says volumes about him. His attention to detail and quality of the work and the material used exceeded our expectations. Thank you again, TJ Fainacci Landscaping, for greatly enhancing the value and beauty of our home and we would highly recommend this company to anyone for their landscaping needs.

TOP NOTCH COMPANY!! We had a landscaping project go sour right before winter, and were panicked that perhaps we would have to wait until spring to get our project back on track. No so! TJ came out the same day I called him and was able to get his crew out the following week to save the day! Everything from communication, to their fabulous show room, their fair prices, and the actual execution of our multiple patio and walkway project—when I say every part of working with this company was top notch, I truly mean it. My husband and I cannot recommend TJ Farinacci enough! If you have any landscaping projects, this is the company you want to hire. Thank you TJ Farinacci Landscaping for coming in right in the nick of time, and giving our yard such top quality patios and walkways!

If I could give this company a zero I would. I have been in contact with Mike DiCillo since March 27th and he has given me nothing but lies and a runaround. He tells me that he is going to stop by and never shows up. Tells me he tried calling multiple times but I have no missed calls. Tells me he showed up but is not on any of my cameras to prove he was here. Tells me he sent an email that was very detailed, that I never got. For such a highly rated company I expected a lot more and I don't understand it, but I am done giving him chances!!

They have been taking care of my lawn, shrubs and Snow Plowing since October 2020. They are very prompt, very thorough, efficient , professional and reliable. They were able to prune my very tall shrubs and small trees in spite of a hill. Because of a hill out front, they were careful enough to use a small mower rather than the very large industrial mowers which can damage the lawn. They are totally reliable and prompt in removing the large amounts of snow we have had this winter. Their rates are very reasonable. In all, they do an excellent job.

I was so happy with the work that was done at my house. I dread usually calling around to look for the best local contractors or landscapers in my area because of the back and forth with prices. But when I called DiCillo Landscape Design Inc they returned my phone call within a half hour of requesting the quote. Michael was very polite, professional, and honest. Not only did he do the work needed on my home (stone walkway and patio, weekly lawn/shrub maintenance) but suggested other things I could do to help keep it up and make it look better! I never felt pressured into anything and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

This "company" is deplorable. The communication, integrity, and commitment to service are all lackluster. The owner, Michael, leaves a lot to be desired. He states that he sends correspondence, and does not. He does not respond to inquiries in a timely fashion. A significant amount of time was wasted with this company for matters that I would have considered routine (eg, Sending a quote, discussing pricing, developing a timeline for work). My experience with Dicillo Landscape Design has been overwhelmingly negative, and I strongly recommend potential customers to search elsewhere.

EDIT: Addressing the response below, a response was sent to the company following the prolonged time for proposal, but correspondence ended there.
