They are horrible to deal with. His demeanor was horrible. He used foul language and we had to have three sheriffs come to my home because he became so irate. He refused to give a senior discount that he had advertised on Angie's List and he said he had no knowledge of how his company even got onto Angie's List and had no knowledge of a senior discount. I would not recommend him to anyone. He also does not honor the price he starts out with.
Description of Work: They worked on a lake shoreline. They did lakefront landscaping.

The work was completed on time and as detailed in the plan. The crew was diligent and courteous. I thought the project went very well. I would definitely recommend Wilhelm Landscape to anyone looking for a landscape contractor.
Description of Work: Wilhelm replaced my damaged vinyl seawall with one using boulders and rocks from his quarry in the U.P. The new wall looks great.

I turned to Robert Wilhelm, the owner, to help with landscaping and irriagation problems with the area around our patio. He was very responsive, knowledable and hands on. He listened to our concerns and what we wanted and then made some excellent money saving suggetions. He got me a detailed estimate right away and his estimate was far better than anything we had been given previously. He then took care of the work right away -- I didn't have to chase him down to complete the work. Best of all he followed up with us to make sure everything was working and that we were satisfied. I highly recommend Wilhelm
Description of Work: We had a problem area on the west side of hour house aound our patio. We tried to landscape it ourselves first. We then had several landscape and irrigation professionals give us estimates and plans. None were acceptable and they didn't really seem that interested in our small project. The previous planting suggested by others were not compatible with the lack of sun and irrigation for the area.

Robert Wilhelm was prompt and did what he said he was going to do. The overall affect is great...and the materials look great with my lakefront home.
Description of Work: He created steps with slabs of stone, then re-set my landscape lighting and arranged boulders down the sides of the walkway.

I live in a large bay off Lake Michigan. A house north of me was looking for them to do some work and we all discussed some work options with the company together. Whenever I asked them a question, they said they would get back to me in the spring. However, I never heard anything from them. I was not impressed with their customer service and would have liked at least a response saying they couldn't do the work.
Description of Work: I was needing a quote for beachfront landscaping.

Response from Wilhelm Landscapes
Unfortunately, (removed member name) project fell way beneath the scope of our average work. While we admit our communication error in this respect and we should have serviced the potential project better, it never really was agreed to be preformed.

They did two major jobs for us. The last one was done and predicated on the fact that we gave them a second job if they fixed the first job. They used inferior products on the sea wall on the first job. We didn't know they were using inferior products and weren't given options on materials. They used limestone designed for above ground, not to be in water. After the first winter season, the limestone cracked and is crumbling in the water. It is dangerous to be around. We called them continuously to fix their work and even sent letters. They finally said they would fix the work if we had another job for them to do. We gave them a smaller landscaping job. They would never come back and fix the wall though. They said it was early in the season and would do it later when their work slowed down, but we have never heard back from them. I would never recommend this company.
Description of Work: They installed a sea wall and gazebo.

Wilhelm Landscapes had installed the original project with the appropriate materials, the subsequent work was preformed by a company that was an off shoot from the original Wilhelm Company.

They are a rapidly growing company and have a very nice display area in town. Their people are professional. They are a little on the higher end. We just decided to use another company.

We have changed our mind on doing the work. We thought they were a little overpriced. I was impressed that they came out in a timely manner and seemed to be very organized. He was able to provide the estimate on spot. We also bought another home, so have just decided not to do the work.
Description of Work: They gave us an estimate to redo our outside patio.

Their service was awful. They gave us a nice layout with the landscaping and the first year everything looked fine. They had allowed an area for water to drain from higher ground to lower ground. After a year, the water had been washing away the soil under some stone work they laid. It turned out they did not lay down the correct liners when they did the work. I asked if they would come fix it, but they said they wouldn't since it was over a year. We had to repair it on our own dime, which was a consider cost.
Description of Work: They did landscaping, including laying some stone work.

Response from Wilhelm Landscapes
We believe that the use of a water type of liner was suggested originally and the agreement was to use a fabric for use under stone that was for a dry river bed. We regret the problems that occurred after the warranty for which had expired.
