Van's Landscaping & Gardening Services

I talked to Van and he came out to go over the areas I needed work on and gave me an estimate. As it was my first time working w/ this company, so he assured me he could scultpure certain bushes, shrubs and plants. The price was a bit higher than I planned to pay. I wanted it done quickly but he was booked for almost 2 weeks. Since he offered to fit me in the next day, I decided to agree to the price. Our yard really was looking neglected. Several workers, maybe five or so came out promptly at 8:00 am. and went staight to work. I left for work and returned at 3:00 to find our yard was absolutely beautiful. They did an outstanding job. I was amazed so much so that I looked for something to be out of place...There was not a leaf on the ground and they somehow got all the settlement out of two areas of rockery as well. It almost looked like they raked the rocks too since it was perfectly level! Something we didn't discuss. I was mostly concerned about our sculptured trees and shrubs. The Azaleas, Junipers, Maples were all beautiful. They made the place almost look like a park. It had a lot of potential but had been neglected for several years and they transformed it back into shape! Very detailed oriented, and so much quality in their work! They are master landscapers in our opinion.

When I hired Van, I walked Van through my yard and pointed to all of my ornamental garden beds and the plants in them and told him never to touch any of those plants (his crew knows nothing about gardening). . I assumed he would share this information with his crew because Van is usually not there, but obviously he never did. Months later, his crew whacked several ferns to the ground in a landscaped bed. I told Van what his crew did and reminded him not to touch my garden beds. At the end of the first summer, one of his crew decided the tayberry plant in a landscaped bed was a blackberry so he whacked it to the ground. I was furious and demanded Van buy me a new tayberry; Van insisted it would grow back. It did, but it did not produce any berries the next summer. At the end of the second summer, one of his crew whacked my tayberry and the same ferns that had grown back down to the ground again in the same day! Van caused me to go at least 4 years with no tayberries and I have a big empty spot where pretty ferns used to be. I was furious when I got home and left Van a voicemail message firing him. He never returned my call to apologize.

We're not using his service because the estimate was too high. We may be able to use him in the future for other work. Since he didn't do any work, I didn't know how to rate his quality, so this rating is a guess of his work.

We are very pleased they leveled out the yard, brought in top soil, peat moss and seeded the lawn area. We were so pleased at how things turned out. The lawn is already coming up and our family and friends can not believe the difference and how fast it was done. We have had Van do several jobs for us and have always been very pleased. He is a very nice man and easy to work with.

They did a great job. Were very friedly and responsive. I would use them again in the future.

I was happy with Vans Quality Landscaping. I liked them a lot. They're very, very, very polite. They called me back right away. They came when they said they were going to. They did a good job. I was satisfied with their price. Their quality was fine.

They hauled away the roots and debris. They spent a few hours worked hard and did a very good job. They were very neat and very efficient. he had a crew with him all of them worked very efficiently and the yard looked very good when they finished.

No show,no call,bad service They did finally show up to mow the lawn on saturday

They were very professional and hard working. They were also very courteous and friendly.

Came when they said and did an excellent job.

They did an excellent job. Did not take them very long. Mr. Van was very courteous.

They are wonderful. Their get the work done fast and at a reasonable price.

His prices are phenomenal. He does really great work.

It was clean and nice after he did the work. It was pretty good. I am still using them.

Van has been completely awesome for us even though we've never actually met them. I didn't rate them for punctuality since they have the whole day to come and do our house and we're never home when they do. We just come home to clean and trimmed yards every other Wednesday. They just leave us bills on our front porch when he's done our house twice so for his monthly service of maintaining our yards twice a month it's $90.

See above. They overchage and our not punctual.

We are very happy with Van's work and would recommend him without reservation.

Unfortunately, we agreed on a time to meet at my house for an estimate at 6pm. I came home to wait for him. at 6:55pm he called and said, he was sorry but they were not going to come, because they decided that they were not doing maintenance lawn work in the capitol hill area. I'm not particularly mad about it, but to me that is "C" quality service to make me wait for nothing.

Van's landscaping mows my lawn every week, I am very happy with their work and their service.

Van was very professional to deal with. He gave me a very reasonable estimate on a large cleanup project on a rental property that had become very overgrown over the years. He performed the job exactly as we agreed. I will use him again.

My only misgiving was that I requested removal of a couple of bushes as part of the second job they did (see above), and they didn't do that. But all in all, I recommend this company.

We have used Van's several times and they have always been very professional. They do regular yard maintenance for us. Each year we have several jobs for them to do for Spring cleaning. They always do a really great job, we have always been very pleased with their work.

Worked with me to arrive at scope of work to be done and price...clear what they would do and did more than I expected

They were good. They worked hard, they were fast, and cleaned up after themselves. They did a great job.

This crew did a great job, starting with an estimate that I got in 15 minutes rather than having to wait weeks just for an estimate from other bidders--all of whom were much higher. Mr. Van was very friendly and engaged and personally supervised the entire operation. I can't believe they got so much done in only 2 days--these guys are hard workers and they really know what they are doing! The new plants are great and the yard looks perfect. I even called them back for a minor touch-up and they responded quickly and thoroughly. I am very impressed with their sincerity and focus on quality, for a good price.
