Customers frequently cite punctuality, clear communication, and reasonable pricing as key aspects of their experience with this Olathe landscaper, who offers services such as retaining walls, drainage systems, and sod installation. Reviewers often note that the crew is professional, responsive to design changes, and thorough in cleaning up job sites. However, one low-star review reports significant structural failure in a patio installed just one year prior, indicating potential durability issues with specific hardscaping materials.

Gordon’s did an exceptional job advising on my water/drainage issue and putting in a French drain. They also installed much needed landscaping to the front of the house. They walked me through the entire process and were so helpful with design advice. The communication, follow through and professionalism from everyone I worked with made the job a breeze.

Excellent work ethic on time and hard workers.
The owner stopped daily so his crew always had the supplies they needed to build a beautiful retaining wall. We plan on using them again.

This is our first, large landscaping project and I’m very happy with their work and for choosing Gordon’s - I would certainly recommend them to anyone considering a project (big or small).

Very pleased with our front yard makeover from Gordon's Lawn and Landscape! Expertise was excellent. The owner, Dan did a great job of listening to what my yard concerns were and helping me with considerations to get the look I was wanting including 3 retaining walls and replacing and leveling our front yard with sod. Workers arrived early every morning and kept working throughout the day, kept a tidy work area, and were pleasant to work with. Here is a view of the front retaining wall. There is also side retaining wall for our sloping side yard. We are still in the process of deciding on plants. Highly recommend!

Gordon’s did a great job on my landscaping. They were promp getting there in the morning and got it done in 1day.It cleanup was great and they did a great job. Do I have to put my name on here?

One year later and the complex french drain system and dry wells Gordon's installed continue to work perfectly and have given us huge peace of mind for our property that backs up to a large hill. I just had to reach out to them because of some plumbing work that needs to be done and Dan responded immediately to my request for help and offered to consult directly with the plumbers so the french drain system wouldn't be impacted. I highly recommend you consider them if you are looking to have similar work done.

Dan and his crew did an outstanding job in putting in a significant and challenging drainage system around our house. He installed extensive drainage pipe and did wonderful and timely work! He makes the process simple! He is a good listener, makes suggestions, and performs work in a timely manner!
We are now hiring him to put in retaining wall and do significant landscaping work!
