We were very pleased with them. We would recommend them. They did a fall clean up for us. They did a very good job and we didn't have to do anything for clean up afterwards. They did everything that we asked them to do.

Best way to contact them is by telephone. I realize now I should have called when a reply to my e-mail didn't come.
Description of Work: Great Lakes Lawn & Landscaping has provided lawn and landscape services to me for several years. Most recently, the crew removed a very large, diseased tree as well as installed some brick pads by each of my water faucets. This work went extremely well and I am quite satisfied with the outcome. The only problem I have had with this provider occurred when I attempted to request some additional services through the e-mail address on their website. I had used this address on several occasions in the past so I expected to hear back regarding the requested services. Apparently, this e-mail failed or was never delivered through a fault in that address so a reply never came. Great Lakes explains that several problems have occurred with their e-mail and suggests the.

Description of Work: Besides lawn weed treatment I asked them to spread topsoil and seed over front and back. First said they did not think it would be good to do the back because the sidewalk was uneven - but I insisted and they did it. Looks very much improved. Have asked them 3-4 times to take away the old compost pile and they say how much they will charge, I give permission - but they never remove it. I gave up.

They were fantastic. Very quick to come out and provide an estimate. Estimate was very reasonable compared to other companies that we looked at for the same work, and the work was done exactly to our expectation within the discussed timeframe. We will use them again for future landscaping needs.
Description of Work: We hired Great Lakes Lawn and Landscape to remove 4 garden boxes, lay sod where the garden boxes were, and lay new sod around our patio where the grass had died.

Great Lakes has been my "everything for the yard" guys for more than 15 years. They are very responsive to my requests and keep an eye on things. I have a crab apple tree that is very susceptible to fungus - they call to let me know it is time to spray it. I have the lawn aerated in the spring. They have a number of choices for fertilizing programs. I have neighbors who had their landscaping done by them 20 years ago. The landscaping still looks fresh and proportional to the house.
Description of Work: Before the lawn care season comes around I get a letter that presents the different services they offer. You can send the letter back or call them. I have fertilizer and weed treatments, lawn aeration, and tree and bush treatments.

They are very good. I spent $150 for the cleanup. They are quick and meticulous. They pick up every bit of leaves, or paper or debris. They are very thorough.

I have been using them for about 15 years now. They are very fast, and very thorough. They have a team that comes through and does a wonderful. They pay attention to detail and are very good. They price was average, but I think I could get something cheaper, and sometimes I have a hell of a time trying to contact them.
Description of Work: They had done a spring clean up for me. I have a 78 X 200 ft lot, so they swept all of the trash left over from the summer.

We've used them for over ten years and would highly recommend them. We've had very good luck with them. His price is very reasonable and he is very prompt. They did a very fine job and clean up in places that you wouldn't have thought about. Sometimes he is hard to get hold of if I want extra things done. They have never missed on coming for the spring and fall cleanup. They show up and I come home from work and my yard looks great. They do a good job and they are professional.

Several companies were contacted and Ken was the fastest (2 days) and most resonable with his price quote. In addition to the quote for landscape clean-up he quoted me for lawn care as well ($52) for fertilizer and weed control. I am selling my home and needed this landscape work done soon and in the middle of the summer that can usually be impossible with other companies. Within a week of my original call Ken had his team on my home. When I returned from work I was excited to see how nice everything looked!! I am only sad to have found him when I am moving out of state. My neighbors have commented on how beautiful everything looks and I know it will help to be a selling point! I have since hired Ken for his weekly service to keep the house ''show ready''. ($33 a week)
Description of Work: Landscape clean up: Mulch, weed, trim and edge landscape. 2 large planter beds and along side of house. 3 rose bushes pruned also.
