Home Services reviews in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We’ve been working with Gustavo and team for over 5 years; they are dependable and do great work. We are among the numerous families in the neighborhood who rely on their services. Most recently they fixed drainage issues which have plagued us since we bought the house and spruced up our mulch beds just before Easter.

I used Duran's landscaping for the design of our front yard flower beds and small side yard area. They were fantastic! I don't have a green thumb so had no ideas about how to best spruce up the small spaces. They gave great recommendations, showed photos of all possibilities at the first visit, and scheduled the work appointment very quickly. Couldn't be more satisfied--will definitely use them again!

Gustavo and team have done a fantastic job with a host of landscaping work around my property. Always on time, very respectful and working very efficiently! Gustavo is my go-to for landscaping work!

Gustavo Duran provides first class customer service and support for all our landscaping needs. All labor, materials and services are provided at very reasonable cost. No job is too big or little to address. His advice and recommendations are always on target. Gustavo and his experienced team are recommended highly and without any reservation. Well done!

Can’t really say enough about this company they do great work ! Had them do a complete clean out of a driveway behind our auto repair shop remove weeds put weed barrier down with stone looks great. Highly recommended.👍

Gustavo and his team did an amazing job! I had asked him to extend a drain pipe and also to put in a new bluestone landing at the bottom of our deck steps. He delivered within a week, and it turned out beautifully! And pricing was reasonable. Also very communicative. On top of all of this, he’s a great guy. Highly recommend Duran’s Landscaping!

Gustavo and his crew did a fantastic job laying sod at my home at a reasonable price and quick scheduling - looks fantastic! Look forward to working with Duran again

Gustavo and his team did an excellent job from start to finish! Communication and scheduling was quick and easy, and the pricing was very reasonable. They even completed the work ahead of schedule. Gustavo was incredibly consultative—he really listened to what I wanted and made thoughtful recommendations. The results look absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!

Poor communication. Over promise and under deliver. I contracted with Philadelphia Gardens to complete a small front garden for an investment property in Grad Hospital area. My initial contact was early spring 2025 with the hope of having the project completed prior to the heat of the summer. After our initial consultation, I waited weeks for a plan (following up with them often, as they stated it would not take long to complete such a small design). By the time planting occurred we were into the summer heat, thus, at their suggestion, I paid extra for an irrigation system to be installed. There was an issue with the installation which was never communicated to me, so a few weeks passed without proper watering. Several plants did not survive, and Philadelphia Gardens wanted to charge me for replacements. I am a 30 year home owner who has completed several landscaping projects, all of which had warranty's on the plants. Philadelphia Gardens is the first organization I have encountered that does not stand behind the work they performed.

Wonderful experience with the team and I was overwhelmed by how the garden turned out. I wanted to steer away from a "clean garden is a perfect garden" and reinvent the space for pollinators, birds, and serve as more of a habitat. The team captured my goal using native plants and also finding plants that have significant personal meaning to me so I felt my ideas were well incorporated into their vision and the final product is more than I expected.

What more can I say about Philadelphia Gardens. A phenomenal business through in and through out. The design, landscape and hardscape work is impeccable. I can’t recommend them enough!

The crew at Phila Gardens are the best. My containers have never looked better. You can feel how much love and care goes into their work, and I learned so much from them to take care of my plants long term. Can’t recommend them enough!

Really appreciated working with Philadelphia Gardens. They were responsive and answered all our questions, and helped us design the garden we dreamed of with native plants. They also helped install an a watering system and lighting. Their team was professional and we couldn't be happier! Highly recommend. Family owned and local 👍

Amazing landscape designers

Didn't reply, no call, nothing.

Incredibly talented, friendly crew. I couldn’t love my yard more, thank you!

Very creative ideas for my space, crew courteous and prompt, expectation was met 100%. Would highly recommend.

The garden planting ensemble looks gorgeous and the plants are thriving.
Everything that I'd hoped for in my garden was achieved.

Buyer beware! Inept work, arrogant service. Took over $1000 for plantings that were done incorrectly with wrong plants, all dead within three months, then refused to do anything to fix it. Bizarre, boorish and shameful. Would not recommend to anyone.

Beautiful design, knowledgeable, friendly crew, quality plantings--my garden is lovely as are the urns. Winter/holiday arrangements are fantastic!

The Philadelphia Garden's Team is very pleasant. The design is really a work of art with plants. I am amazed at the birds and butterflies attracted to my garden. I really like the native plants that really seem at home with your weather.
