Dean Landscape Construction

I had purchased the Big Deal Offer for $ 199 for 4 hours of leaf removal with vacuum truck and it went off fine.

The quality of the fence was fine when they first put it in. They put in 6X6 posts and since then the toppers for the posts have split. They told me they would replace them and they did, but since then, they have warped and split again. I also originally wanted cedar and they didn't use cedar.

Micah and Jeff were great to work with. Their crew was here on time and went the extra mile to get the work done during one of the hottest weeks of the summer. Our project was complete in time for a party at our home. We are thrilled with the end result.

They were excellent and asked if they could do anything else before they left. They were great. They do a good job. They came out with a supervisor. Everything was done. They walked us around the perimeter, asked what we wanted done and they did it all.

We built a garage and need someone to haul away excess soil and provide proper grading for drainage away from the foundation. We met with several landscaping contractors and were impressed with Micah. His quote was in line with the others so we hired him. The first problem was when he decided to send a crew out while I was out of town. He did not notify me that work would be starting. I was startled to return from vacation and see things out of place in the back yard. I quickly figured out that he must have gotten started so I calmed down. Then I noticed there was damage to my garage siding. I called him right away. He denied that his workers caused the damage, but of course he wasn't there to know for sure. He offered to try to fix it anyway, which I appreciated. Long story short, they did a crap job of the fix and I ended up repairing it all myself. I understand that this could have been vandalism and not at all Micha's fault, but since he showed up to work when I was on vacation without telling me, we will never know. Now to the real problem, the work was not done as agreed. I specifically asked for the grade to slope away from the garage, as I was told to do by the city inspectors. When he was done it was still sloping noticeably towards the foundation. They simply had not removed enough of the excess soil. He grudgingly returned to talk it through with me. He marked out an area to have soil removed and we agreed on it. When I came home that day I found that soil had indeed been removed, but I was basically left with a moat. I had to rent a tiller to break up the soil and spend 2 days grading it myself. We finally agreed on a discounted invoice and settled the matter. I understand that there are bound to be mistakes and mis-communications, but the sad part is that I gave him every chance to set it right. He had also quoted a fence project and we were about to hire him for that as well, but had second thoughts. It he would have stepped up and handled the issues with more care and professionalism, he would have received more work from us on the spot.

Micah and his team have been great to work with. He's always been fairly easy to get a hold of (especially considering this is the busiest time of the year), and has given us great service. I've received many quotes for yard work in the past and have typically gone with the cheapest provider. On a recommendation of a friend, we gave this company a shot, and I think Dean Landscape well priced for the quality of work. His workers have been professional and very nice, and we're thrilled with our new backyard. We'll be using them again in the future.

I called Dean while at work, and they showed up that evening to look over the job. We explained the situation, and he estimated about $50 per bush. Before I had tried it myself, that would have sounded high. But knowing what I knew, that was just right. He explained he was booked for the rest of the week, but would it be OK to show up unannounced and remove them next week? Seeing as how no access was needed to the home, we were just fine with that. A few days later, a team of three guys showed up at the house and got to work. We chatted a bit about the difficulty I had, and they agreed the bushes were a bear, but they kept after them. About an hour and a half later, they had the bushes out, the holes filled back in and the area raked and clean. The guys were friendly, professional and it was an overall really positive experience. Will definitely hire them again.

Micah Dean came out and gave me an estimate. When it came to discussion of replacement plantings he did not seem to be very knowledgeable. He suggested including day lillies. I requested varied colors. He said he didn't think they were available. Oakland Nursery nearby has at least six colors and online, dozens of colors can be found. Oh well, his estimate was considerably lower than others so I signed on the dotted line...even prepaid so that the work could be done if I was not in town. Micah promised to call at least the night before to let me know when they were coming. He called on the Morning of the 24th and said they were on their way to my house. I was an hour and a half away at the time and so by the time I loaded up and came home they were almost finished. They had not done some of the work around the deck but had done a lot of other stuff that had not been discussed. That part looked great so I said fine but I still wanted the work around the deck done. The work crew was pretty defensive saying that they only do what their boss tells them.....okay, that's fine. I called Micah and he came out later that night and finished the job. Obviously he did not supervise his crew......and I didn't get back in time to oversee or this could all have been prevented. Quality of the plantings was not the greatest. Plants were unevenly spaced with several too close together and some of not very good quality. Their estimate was by far the lowest of the three I received so I guess I got my money's worth but if you hire these people, just know that you are getting bargain work for a bargain price.

Called for a mulch estimate. Did not show up.

I would highly recommend Micah. He made an appointment for the next day after I contacted him, was punctual and very professional. I found his prices to be very reasonable. And I am extremely happy with the quality of the work. Our patios and walkway look wonderful as do the retaining walls and privacy fence. The excavation was quick and efficient, as was the removal and construction. There were a few problems that arose which were addressed and resolved .

I waited 5 days for an appointment for a quote due to the how busy he said he was. I changed some plans in order to be available when he said they could come and no one showed up nor did anyone call me to apologize or re-schedule. I am shocked that companies can survive with this low level of professionalism. Or that any company today can afford to just blow off a paying job.

They were very nice. Unfortuantely they did not come out to my part of town. He did give me guidance on what price I should be looking for and other resources to look into.

I was quite satisfied with Dean Landscape Construction. I've used them various times for other work.

Did an excellent job and very professional. Price was reasonable. Will be using them again for any future needs.

Micah was a pleasure to work with, and very professional. Dean Landscape did a neat job and he really listened to what we wanted. We were very pleased with the work. His price is very good, and he was easy to communicate with.

I have small front lawn. I just started using them this past summer because I was unhappy with my prior lawn service. They came in with a competitive price. They have done reasonably well. Their work is reliable.

Overall, the service was delivered as contracted. I was pleased and thankful for the hard work.

They were timely, they did most of the work that they had promised. There was some damage to plants that involved moving a bed. They didn't put enough mulch, there were some places dug out that weren't supposed to be.

The absolute best landscaping company we have every had! They did the original work very timely. When one of our own transplanted bushes failed they purchased a new one and planted it. After the summer heat affected the grass planting, they placed sod. They really do care about your satisfaction. I highly recommend them.

I contacted this company for an estimate for lawn aeration. The owner was very pleasant and gave me a phone estimate which I agreed to. He said he was busy that week, but could do it the following week. I waited till Thursday of the following week and called again to make sure he didn' t forget me. I was told his guy was doing aerations, but If it rained he couldn't get to it. I agreed and it did rain. The following week, I called again and was told again that his guy was doing lawn aerations on Friday again and I was on the list. No one ever showed up and I got tired of calling about it. So my lawn never got aerated this Fall. I would never recommend this company just for the poor communications and total lack of interest in a paying job.

Work good, estimating of time for a quote, terrible.

Work went smoothly. The leaves were too wet to complete the initial day they scheduled but returned the next morning and completed the work as promised.

I used Dean Landscaping before for yard cleaning, mulch and lawn installation and was satisfied with the service, so when I saw this deal on Angies List of 4 hours of leaf removing with vacuum truck for $199, I didn't hesitate much to buy. I had difficulty reaching Micah at first since he was on vacation. But he called me back when he was available. Due to their workload, then the weather condition, the work was done about 2 weeks after I first contacted him. Fortunately we still had one weekend before Christmas to set up yard decoration. On the day, he sent two sub-contractors over. When they arrived I happened to be home, so asked for their estimate of the workload. They told me they should be able to finish in 2 hours (4 man hour); but if not, Micah would give me the same promotion rate. I did get a voicemail that afternoon and later a bill of $50 for an extra man hour. The back yard where they started was quite clean, but the front yard seemed to be finished roughly with some beds left undone at all.I first thought probably they didn't want to charge me more and were in a rush. But my babysitter told me that they worked from 1:10pm ~ 3:20pm. So they should still have 20 minutes for a better work with the extra $50. I usually hesitate to purchase services by hours, since I don't know how much work could be finished in the amount of time. So past experience and Angie's list reviews are helpful for the choice of a reliable service provider. I personally really trust Micah, but not sure about the sub-contractors.

The work was excellent. The spring cleanup was a big job because i had a lot of weeds and debris. The yard looked perfect when they were done. The rest of the summer the lawn was mowed regularly, trimmed and cleaned up. The above cost is for the entire summers work.

They are prompt, easy to get a hold of, and honor their discounts.
