Norm was very knowledgeable and explained process and answered all the questions we had. He was easy to work with and would recommend him to others. We would hire him again.
Description of Work: Our front yard, side yard and tree lawn were torn up due to exterior drains installed by another company. Norm removed the grass, tilled, added soil plus, graded, and added seed and fertilizer to the front and mulch to the other areas. It was completed yesterday (10/8/15) and he stopped by yesterday and today to talk to us and give us watering instructions. Our tree lawn had the remainders of tree roots and he was able to remove them worth great effort. It looks great. He will return in 3 weeks to see how grass has germinated.

Wish I could share the outcome photo's on here........... Back yard looks magnificent!
Description of Work: I would just like to share what a fantastic job this company did for us in our back garden. The owner Norm came out, gave us a quote and the suggestions he made worked out perfectly! His crew showed up on time, got in there and got the old stuff out, relaid new sod, laid new mulch and planted lilac bushes on the side. We then had our front sidewalk re-done and needed more sod for our front before my Moms Birthday party (the next week) and sure enough, I called him and his guys came out and got that laid as well. He even went above and beyond by stopping by on a Sunday morning to remind us to water the sod out front more so than the back due to the new concrete drying up the water. If you need any landscaping work done in the city of Columbus, Pitzer's is the one I would highly recommend! In fact, I will be calling them back once I get my front porch painted to ask them to re-do our front garden! Job Well done !!!!! Very satisfied customer!

Norman and his crew were wonderful to work with. They were professional, polite, prompt and most importantly, did quality work. My landscaping looks terrific and Norman has returned twice to look everything over and ensure I am happy with the work done. I wouldn't hesitate to use Norman and Pitzer's Landscaping again and recommend them.
Description of Work: Norman and his crew did a spring clean-up, including weeding and mulching. They also trimmed shrubs and some trees, as well as removed some trees and weeds between the garage and fence and replaced with pea gravel.

Norman could not have been more responsive or attentive, before and after the job. They brought in two dump loads (55 cubic yards) of premium topsoil and spread it to level out all the ruts and holes in the lawn, then used 100 lbs. of seed and the fertilized it. He came back three weeks later and over seeded and fertilized again. I even got in a pinch for a few days and he came back and watered for me. The grass is growing great and the bare spots are filling in. Could not be more pleased with the whole process including the results. I would highly recommend Pitzers to anyone!
Description of Work: Norman Pitzer sprayed our entire lawn to completely kill what was there and then restored our lawn.

I chose Pitzer's Landscaping to renovate my backyard, spring clean-up, and landscaping around a paver patio. From the initial consultation through project completion, I always came away with high regard for Norm Pitzer. Of the two other landscapers I consulted, his knowledge of what would be required to renovate my backyard was the most impressive. The renovation was needed due to the removal of several large trees damaged over the years by storms. I am very pleased with the results and my neighbors have also provided positive feedback on the landscaping. It was refreshing to deal with a contractor who was so customer-oriented and who completed the job as proposed!

After being burned for the last time using Craigslist, I joined Angieslist and looked for a company to deliver firewood. Norman Pitzer was very professional and promised my delivery on a Tuesday morning. The wood was delivered as promised, and on time. More importantly, the wood was SEASONED and ready to burn! Norman also made sure that I received wood that was cut to size (~16") so it would fit in my wood insert without me having to cut the pieces. The wood did not have dirt and rocks delivered with it, as had happened when I used other people in the past. I would highly recommend Pitzer Landscaping and Firewood for all your firewood needs. You may be able to find cheaper wood, but I assure you that you will not find better wood or a better company.

The results were excellent! We had issues with moisture in our basement that are now resolved. Several contractors told us that the grading around the house needed improved. We researched Angie's List and called Pitzer Landscaping because Norman appeared to have experience with grading. He offered solutions that made sense. Norman and his crew regraded the soil all around our home, adjusted mulch beds where necessary, and mulched. They were prompt both days that they worked here and were very professional and pleasant. Norman has called several times to check on the results of his work. We look forward to having Norman and his crew back to our home to do some landscaping. It is refreshing to find a contractor so committed to his work!! Thanks Norman.

I talked to him. He told me how much it would be and everything I needed to know about it. He told me that if I called in August, he would start delivering at that time. The quote was $275 for a stacked cord of wood. He was great. He just was the man to talk to. He knew what he was talking about. I think it's a good price. He called me back right away. He seems like he really knows what he is talking about. He is very upfront about everything. I will probably continue to use him.

I called more than one landscaper to perform the renovation of my front lawn. Norm Pitzer was the only person that was responsive, on time and was willing to do the work. He has a passion for the work that he performs and he has a tremendous work ethic. The work performed was thorough and very professionally completed. Norm continuously came back to check on my lawn while it grew from the seed to ensure that it was doing well and was watered properly. While I think the price was a little high, he didn't have much competition and the price included materials and labor. The materials included landscaping rock for each side of the house and new soil for the front yard as well as a tree, new bushes, mulch, seed, fertilizer, etc. The yard looks amazing and it was in very bad condition having just had the water line replaced over the summer.

Norman returned my call promptly and said he'd be able to schedule a delivery sometime in the next two weeks. About ten days later, he called and said they would show up a few days later. They were on time, courteous, easy to work with.
Description of Work: This is the second year we've used Pitzer to delver and stack firewood. They're terrific and reliable. We learned this the hard way by trying with some Craigs List people who never showed up.

Norm responded to my e-mail quickly. When coming to my home he worked up a quote which I accepted. The work was started the beginning of the following week. It was done as showers were arriving which enabled the newly seeded lawn to get off to a good start. About two weeks after the initial work, Norm came by to reseed a couple of bare spots and apply additional starter fertilizer. The newly seeded lawn is well established and should "take off" in the spring. Norm is a delight go work with and takes pride in his work.
Description of Work: Removed existing sod, added several inches of top soil, leveled lawn, and seeded lawn. Sprinklers were placed before leaving the work site.

This is the best wood in town, hands down. After using a couple different companies, I have used Pitzer for the last few years and I am never disappointed. Excellent wood and a cord appears to be a true cord. You will not be disappointed.

Pitzer's customer service is second to none, honestly. Out of every service I have ever contracted and every profession with which I have interacted, Norm's company is the best when it comes to providing excellent work in a timely fashion and then following up regularly. Highest of praise for this company!! I first emailed Pitzer's via Angie's List website and provided my cell phone number. Norm called me the following day and came out to see my yard within 48 hours. (He had same day availability, but I wasn't available.) He walked the whole lawn with me, front, back, and alley. He recommended that I burn out everything because it had been overgrown with weeds and there was little if any real grass left. He was available to start work within two weeks, but I was having landscaping done, so he tole me to call him when the landscaping was nearing completion. When I called Norm back, he came out and walked the yard with me again. I showed him areas of weeds/trees that I wanted removed, where I wanted grass, and where I never wanted to mow again (slanted strip outside of my back yard fence, along an alley and by my garage). He gave me recommendations and estimates that day, and I made a down payment (half of the total cost of the job). Because the forecast called for rain in the next couple of days, he sprayed the grass and weeds that day to burn the lawn out. He came back the following day to inspect the sprayed areas. Norm gave me a general timeline for how long it would take and how often I would need to water. He always told me when he would come back out to check on things and he always called me the day before he came out so that I could unlock the gate to my back yard so his crew could get in while I was at work. Within 10 days of him spraying my yard, the entire yard was tilled up, new topsoil laid down, seeded the yard, and dug up trees/weeds between a fence and my garage, along my patio, and along the alley, outside of my back yard fence. They then put down nylon sheets and placed gravel on top in the areas we had discussed. The day after the work was completed, Norm met me at my house to go over lawn care. I was running 5 minutes late, and when I got home, Norm was there, watering my lawn for me. He showed me how much and what type of nozzle to use to water. He came back out every 5-7 days to monitor lawn progress. He added soil and re-seeded bare patches, and he raked over areas that had been turned up by squirrels and neighborhood dogs. When the back yard had areas of weed growth, he brought his crew back out to dig up the weeds and place new soil and seed. All of this service was for the cost I paid from the outset. There were no additional charges for the additional seedings or additional weed pulling. I have never had better customer service from any other provider in any profession. I give Norm and Pitzer's the highest possible praise and would recommend them to anyone. All of my neighbors stop and ask who did my lawn because it grew in so fast and so thick, and it looks beautiful. I could not be happier.
Description of Work: Two lawn consultations, made recommendations about what to do in different areas of my yard, removed weeds/trees from landscaping, trimmed bushes, put down nylon cover and gravel in two locations, burned out grass/weeds, tilled up grass/weeds, placed new topsoil to level, seeded yard, inspected multiple times to follow germination, re-seeded patches with slow/no growth.

Our yard was very difficult to work on due to the large number of surface roots from five large trees that were removed. After my husband and I spent countless hours trying to remove tree roots and grade the yard by hand ourselves, we hired Norman to finish the job (I think we won the prize for the most tree roots in a yard.) He graded, tilled, put down a compost/topsoil blend, and seeded the front, back and side yards. It was a pleasure working with Norman. He drove by the yard several times after he completed the work it to make it was coming along well, and followed up with me about watering. The grass came up nicely in the spring, and I am happy!

Due to a lot of shade and lack of good topsoil in my backyard, most of the grass had died. Norm was fantastic to work with throughout the whole process. He called me back within a day of my initial contact, and was prompt with scheduling and completing all services. He explained the reasons behind all his recommendations, and I felt very comfortable taking his suggestions. They scheduled and completed the job quickly and professionally. When I got home from work, they were just finishing up, and they had cleaned everything up and left no trace that they'd been there. Norm followed up with me and checked on the yard's progress in the weeks that followed, and came back out to re-seed a section that wasn't taking. Throughout the process, Norm seemed like he genuinely cared about providing a quality service. I am very pleased with the job and my yard looks better than ever!

We have used Norm every year for our annual clean-up and he and his guys are fantastic. Very responsive -- Norm called me back the day I left a message and had his guys out the next week. They even came out on a Saturday to start the job. Took multiple days to complete (moderate sized yard). Norm is very knowledgeable and was pointing out bushes that we should keep an eye on as they had clearly struggled through the harsh winter. I will definitely continue to use Pitzer Landscaping.

Norman came right out (the same day I called) to give me an estimate. He walked me through the problems, offered solutions and wrote up an estimate on the spot. My yard/house was in dire need of help. He was able to get a team to my house the very next day. The team added lots of soil around the perimeter, raised up my window wells, filled them with gravel and even went the extra mile and reconnected my sump pump which had separated due to ground movement. I did not meet Norman the day the work was preformed, but he took the time to call me, later on that same day, to make sure everything was ok and suggested that we mulch over the new dirt ASAP.
