Aaron always returned calls within a day or two and answered all our questions. He kept in touch as needed to let us know of issues that came up (the supplier was out of the kind of sod we needed), and when the weather conditions were right to do the installation. He arrived on the day/time promised and did everything in the contract in one day. It's been five months and the grass is green and growing well. He did a great job and we are very happy to now have grass instead of mud in our backyard!

I just used them 3 or 4 times when my husband was ill. I found them here at my neighbors. They did a good job, they were professional, and it looked good, and that was important. They cut it to the right height, and they were very neat, they trimmed straight along the driveway. They were prompt and they came when called. I used them for about 3 months in the summer. The same people came out every time. I will probably use them again this summer.

The owner of Valley Landscaping, Aaron Stolaas, gave me an estimate of the work to be performed and the timeframe that the work would be started and completed. He was true to his word! He was punctual, professional, and it looks fantastic! They cleaned up afterwards as well which is a big thing for me. I've had experience with contractors before who've left bits and pieces of their "mess" for me to clean up. It was nice to have a "finished product." Aaron used quality materials and did quality work. Thank you for a job well done!

Valley Landscaping was timely, professional, responsive to emails and phone calls, and completed the work as expected at the price expected. The workers were neat and professional. They are my new landscape heros. I might have gotten a cheaper price with some other comany but my experience has been you get what you pay for. I wasn't looking for the cheapest price, I wanted somebody that would give me a fair price and do a real good job. I feel that is what I got with Valley Landscaping. I would recommend them to others.

They did an amazing job. Listened to what I wanted and drew up plans that were perfect. They were even able to re-use a few plants. THe courtyard is beautiful. The work was done well. The professionalism and friendliness were very encouraging. I love my courtyard!!

Great! Aaron was prompt, friendly, and very professional. They are the best "service workers" I've ever used.

Aaron was very honest and made several recommendations to every area in my yard. Most of his ideas saved me money. He was punctual on the day he came to work and did a great job. Everything was cleaned up and he told me what I would need to do for two weeks till the plants were established. He is scheduled to come back to cut back my Hydrangeas and Knock out Roses in February. I will continue to use him and would recommend him to anyone that needs landscaping or other yard work done.

We had gotten an initial estimate back in November and then checked with six other landscapers who submitted proposals. None of the proposals totally met our satisfaction so we came up with our own design and contacted Valley Landscaping to do the work.

Arrin told us he would be at our home on Saturday at 8:00 am to give us a quote and showed up right on time. Is very polite and listened to what my wife wanted. That afternoon Arrin dropped off design of landscaping with a price quote that was well within my expectations based on my independent cost analysis for material alone. Schedule for them to begin on Monday. Arrin and team arrived on time ready to work. He did a great job, work looked great and they cleaned up after themselves leaving me with a great yard to enjoy. I would recommend to family/friends and will be using in the future. He carries his cell phone with him and although you may not be able to get directly through to him, he is good at returning calls. His great service and reasonable price has him in demand so plan ahead if you want to use him.

We originally requested a bid to redo our flower beds and attach our downspouts to existing underground drain lines. Aaron did not have a boring machine (for getting the pipe under the sidewalk), so we gave that part of the work to someone else. But on the flower beds, Aaron gave us the best bid, and his demeanor and work references gave us confidence he would do a good job. Because we were not sure how much work we could afford to do, we asked for an itemized estimate that would list separate prices for redoing the front flower bed, adding side flower beds, and adding either metal or stacked-stone edging. Aaron did not complain about this request, and we eventually decided to do all the flower beds and include the stone edging. Unfortunately, the estimate did not include a sketched plan of which plants he intended to put where, and we wanted to have a more firm idea of what everything was going to look like. We did not know much about shrubs, etc. going into this job, but we had general ideas of what kinds of things we liked and didn’t like from seeing other people’s yards. Although we should have already done this before calling contractors, we visited nurseries and did online research and began making lists of our plant preferences. Aaron was somewhat hesitant about our doing this, however, as he felt we should trust his professional judgment on plant selections and placement. But given the cost involved and the fact that we would be living with the results, we insisted on having more input than that (although obviously, we deferred to his judgment on issues such as plant hardiness and which plants look good together). He relented and even took time out of his busy schedule one afternoon to meet us at a nursery and go over our plant selections. The work was done as soon as weather permitted, and we could not be happier with the results. Aaron was very neat, and the entire job was done in a day and a half. Perhaps best of all, we don’t have any complaints about the plants because we chose them. My advice to anyone having landscaping done: If you have opinions on plants, etc., do your homework, ask lots of questions, and insist on having input and final say-so on plant selection and placement. It might be a pain for the landscaper, but you will be much happier with the results.
