They are busy.
Description of Work: We needed some grading, sod, aerating, overseeing, and raking. Things took a while to do because of the wet spring, but when things were finally completed everything looked great.

Terrible
Description of Work: Very unprofessional!!!! I called and set up an appointment for a quote on a job and Dave never showed. When I called him the next day, he did not remember who I was and rescheduled. He did not show the second time either. Get a receptionist to manage your jobs!

Description of Work: I contacted this after finding them on Angie's List and the call back was very quick and they scheduled an appointment to give us an estimate. They arrived on time we talked through the work I wanted done and then 2 weeks passed with no price quote. I then followed-up with an Email requesting the price, no response and then i received the quote via Email, 3weeks after he was here and the quote was only for a fraction of the worked we discussed. I would never use this company to perform any work for me if this is the way they handle their business.

Description of Work: Don't bother wasting your time. I have called, and left a phone message twice and never heard back from anyone. It's so unproffesional, and inconsiderate of them to completely ignore potential customer.

Job went very well. On schedule.
Description of Work: DLS Landscaping has been taking care of my lawn needs for the past 4 years. Working with DLS is like one stop shopping. In the fall of 2007, DLS removed all the existing landscaping. in my front yard. This included removing a lot of lava rocks in addition to trees and bushes that were planted approximately 32 years ago. Dave Swanson, DLS Landscaping owner, had a designer layout the new yard on paper, clearly identifying all the suggested flowers, bushes, trees, mulch and sod to fit the new design. The design was free of charge. I had previously ask a local nursery to do the same thing and they wanted $250.00 to do the design. This was money out of pocket if you did not choose their design. The new yard looks great! The flowers, bushes and trees, bloom at different times, so I have color from May through October. Actually, Dave put in Holly bushes, so I even had tiny red "balls" in December. I would definitely recommend them for all your landscaping needs!
