Don't know where to begin but one statement sums it up. Monello Landscaping is professionalism to the core. We were looking for a company to design our landscaping in the front and back of the house. Then we found Monello and it was a breath of fresh air. We went into the initial meeting and felt very comfortable and like part of the family. They were answering questions and giving their input without even having our business yet.
The owner Joe definitely leads by example, being so friendly and informative himself. The whole staff was very attentive and helpful throughout the whole process. However Dan and Jarret were on a whole different level. We had difficulties choosing the concepts and direction we wanted to go in. Both of them were very patient, attentive, and extremely helpful in guiding us to get the project where we finally were extremely happy with. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We hired Monello because they have a reputation for doing some of the finest landscaping in the area. As inexperienced homeowners, we needed some help beautifying our grounds. They did not disappoint. Brian and his crew did an amazing job. We could not be happier with the results. We look forward to doing more work with them in the future.

I hired Joe Monello 2 years ago and my service was 5 star. This year, his service was horrendous. The weekly maintenance was a disaster. I live on 2 acres and had a full maintenance plan with him and his crew. was in and out in 20 minutes. I complained several times to Marcelo (who since quit) and David and then Joe. We met on site several times so they could see the poor service they were providing.
They serviced my irrigation system and I came home to a pond in my side yard, grass dead, seed that did nothing, weed wacking that looked like a blind person did it, and the list goes on. Finally I got a call one day from Joe, after calling him and telling him I didn't appreciate Dave's snippy.
