Response from DeVisser Landscape Service
Thank you for the feedback [Member Name Removed], I know we've talked on several occasions about the supervisor and I do appreciate your insight into that. Also, Kalamazoo Fence will be making the final repairs to any damage. Thanks again.

Not so good. The end product is good but struggled starting with getting an estimate. Estimator did not appear to be experienced. Called and scheduled for an estimate. After inspection, was told I should receive estimate in a few days. Over two weeks, I received nothing. Called and left a message. Received a very vague estimate. Called a few times trying to verify they were going to do what I was requesting. I agree to have work and was told I needed to put a payment down before work scheduled. I called office and used credit card to pay deposit. I was told I would receive a call. Time goes by and no word. I called and was told I was on the list but time frames vary and it might be in May. I was told they would call me a week before etc. On a Monday morning a little before 8 I receive a voice message indicating they would be out in a few minutes. They were at my door a few minutes after 8 am. I explained I did not know they were coming to do work that day. Worker asked if MIDIG was called. They did not call and I had not called. I didn't call since I did not know when they would be doing the work. The supervisor stated they would work in the back yard that day. They would call Mis Dig. The next day they came back and started the work in the front yard. I asked about MisDig, they said they were told to do the work. I provided them a map for my sprinklers. A little while later, my cable and internet went out. Note I work from home. I had to use a MIFI to continue my work. They ended up cutting the line 4 times. They fixed it but I was concerned about the quality since it had been spliced so many times. The worker wanted me to stay until he fixed the cable but I had to leave. I called and explained my concerns. I was told they would contact my cable/internet service. They called back and said they scheduled a repairman to come out and check line. They said the cable company said it should be fine. The next day the cable/internet company came. Lectured me about not calling MisDig. I asked them if the line was ok with the repairs and I was told no. The line had to be replaced due to the amount of splices etc. DeVisser did agree to pay for the repairs. Next I had my sprinklers turned on and found out that DeVisser damaged my sprinkler lines 3 separate times. Note I had given them a sprinkler map from the company that installed the sprinkler system. They didn't even tell me that they had damaged those lines. I know the workers felt uncomfortable due to doing the work prior to MisDig having a chance to come out and mark the lines and probably didn't want to tell me that they also damaged the sprinklers which they had a map.
Description of Work: Removal of sod, installation of metal edging and planting a 8' baby blue spruce tree.

They're out every year, every spring and summer. They do the over seeding and aeration, grub cleanup, just about all kinds of lawn maintenance. For the year it's $400. They seem very knowledgeable, very friendly.

This is an amendment to my review of a retaining wall job that originally did not go so well....the wall has since been torn down and rebuilt to the quality standard I anticipated when I first hired the company...as soon as the owner became aware of this problem he made things right immediately and exceeded my expectations of a quality job....and in the end this is a company I would hire again.

Not well, see above comments.
Description of Work: Used the Weed Man service for our lawn and was given a discount if we signed up at a certain time. The cost of 313.00 was for 6 visits. They were supposed to provide services to control the weeds in our yard. Cannot recall each detail of the service, but this was the agreement. I saw the first visit because I happened to be watching out my window when the man came. He sat in his car and talked on his phone for about ten minutes. Then got out, put a sign on the neighbor's lawn across the street and spent a minute going all around their house. Then, put a sign out in front of our yard and spend about two minutes going around our lawn. He then got in the car, got on the phone, talked a bit, and left. Our lawns are very big, I am sure it would have taken a little longer, but figured they were fast. Our weeds took off worse than when we had no service! Our yard was full! After we were coming to the end of the agreement (the receipt tells you to call and cancel if you no longer want them or they will keep coming and will charge again), I called to say we would no longer be using their service after the six applications because our lawn looked terrible. They said to call back when it came closer to the completion of the service to cancel service. A couple weeks later I was called by them to ask if we would like more of their service for the fall because of the grubs. I told them no and we would be cancelling any further service. I was asked why I did not tell them about the issues with the lawn and explained that I did but they said to call at a later time. They did not seem to be concerned. Over several weeks, I was called several times by different people (one person called three times and claimed it was news to him that I was cancelling). I am sure they will call again, but since the sign up of our service for summer 2015, I had to get a new credit card; so the fact that I did cancel service will have to be evident when or if they try charging me again. I do not recommend Weed Man through this place.

....a very terrible job..They dragged their feet and acted like they had never built a retaining wall or steps before. The wall they built leans out the wrong way.. no inward slope as I requested (stating what should have been the obvious) The wall leaning the wrong way has created gaps from the wall to where the sidewalk is. The ends of each step have large gaps due to incorrectly sized steps. The gaps are 3-4 inch wide and collect leaves and other debris and also allow for the fill dirt behind them to wash out allowing the sidewalk above to sink. The wide steps to the walkout pitch backwards and hold water 1-2 inches deep instead of a slight pitch forward to allow for drainage.....the pieces chosen for the finishing work were very shoddy. They showed no level of pride in their work. They threw much of the debris over a hill on my property instead of hauling it away as they were suppose to...I would highly discourage anyone from using this company.

I've used the Weed Man (arm of DeVisser Landscape) for two years. Full service in year one at a home I bought and then airation/seeding the second year. They put a small plastic sign in my yard every time they come by, leave an invoice on the door, and drive a truck with a nice logo.

Description of Work: I needed to have new exterior stairs at my lake house. Met with Mark a few times and couldn't have been more impressed with his ideas and suggestions. I was working on a tight budget and Mark suggested ways I could save money yet still have a good result. I had new timber stairs installed and am VERY pleased with the way the project turned out. The stairs are easy to use, the steep sloped grounds were seeded to help with erosion and retaining walls installed where needed. It was a lot of hard work and the workers were professional and polite. After the stairs were finished I had to have a new septic system installed. After this work was completed, the grounds were left in pretty rough condition. I called Mark again to have DeVisser repair and clean up the yard. Once again I was impressed with the result. A small retaining wall was built, the yard smoothed out, hillside reseeded and beach area cleaned up. I can't recommend this company enough. The price is fair, the work is excellent, and the communication is open and ongoing. I have already talked with Mark for some more work to be completed as the budget allows.

The providers were courteous and professional. They first introduced themselves and listened to me as to what I expected. They provided their service quickly and efficiently. They said they would keep an eye on my lawn for returning weeds, whenever they were in the neighborhood. I would recommend this company to anyone.

I called and asked to speak with the manager. Reported that I did not request their services this year, that I did not receive the services that they had billed for, and that I was very unhappy with the weeds in my yard after two summers of having their "service".
Description of Work: I received a bill for services which I did not receive. They were adament that I did receive the service, but I did not. My lawn had more weeds than a load in the herby curby could handle. Very unhappy with the product outcome.

Response from DeVisser Landscape Service
We did render our first fertilizer application to [removed member name] lawn this year by accident. When she informed us she was using another company we corrected our mistake and the bill was written off. The issue has been resolved in our system for some time.

So far, everything seems fine. The company is professional, and the salesperson was responsive to all of my questions. I haven't really meet anyone who has done my lawn yet, as I work during the day, but they always leave a note telling me what they did and asking me to call them if I have a problem or question.
Description of Work: Weed Man set up my whole year's lawn care service. We chose to have the lawn seeded in the beginning and weed care throughout the year.

I'm not sure the length of time between treatments - the aereation is about 3 weeks between treatments. I've been with him for 2 years. I've got a pretty bad looking lawn and have tried several different companies. He's been doing pretty good so far - it's looking much better than it was before I started with Weed Man.

I've used Weed Man for 3 years and my lawn looks quite nice. The lawn has continued to improve each year I've been using Weed Man's services. When I've had a question or thought an area looked a little extra weedy, they have responded very promptly and had someone come out to re-do that area. They do a very thorough job. The cost is $85.85 per application.

The contractor was really good to work with. I just felt that I didn't get the value that I was seeking from the final thing that was done. The quality of work they did was fine. They didn't misuse schedules that they were supposed to. I would consider them but not necessarily use them and it would be on a competitive basis.
