Description of Work: They cut and removed a 35 foot tree and cleaned up a back area of about 20 by 20 feet. The back area was thick with ivy and fallen branches. They did a great cleaning up the area. They did more than was in our bid so they definitely did what it took to make the area much nicer; and not asked for more money. 4 of them were courteous and worked really hard for about 6 hours. Van gave me suggestions for further improvements and how to make the area more maintainable. I will hire them again.

He is very thorough. We are just very pleased with his punctuality, professionalism, cleanup and everything. He is great. I would schedule them to come and do the post for us. I would use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used Vans Quality Landscaping. They did annual yard cleanup, put up blocks on one of our driveways, post in a fence, and block my yard. They did the work two years ago. Last time they put in a brick patio in the front of our house about a year ago.

He did an excellent job that met my standards. Midway through there were a few work statement issues that I had to clarify, but in each case he responded promptly. He's not inexpensive, but he does a thorough and quality job. I'll likely use him in the future.
Description of Work: Van's team did a major yard cleanup for a 1/2 acre lot. They weeded, trimmed, bark dusted, removed a few small trees, all on an extremely sloped lot. He also did a small fence repair job on damage caused by a falling tree. The cost was far in excess of the $100 I listed.

In general, it went well. Van did go out of his way to get great sod. There was a minor issue of having several plants moved because they were not placed exactly where requested.
Description of Work: Remove old sod, lay down new top soil, and place new sod. Installed edging in the front yard. This project also included planting a number shrubs and removing several others.

Gave him all the exact dimensions only to have him mis-measure it by 10% too small which would not work. He failed to pack any gravel down to make it level and simply added loose rock which will settle now and then dug out two small holes in the yard for posts without any support so the first rain we get they will collapse. He then added 20% to his bill to my wife who didn't know better and simply paid him for terrible work which we now have to pay again to have done correctly. I called him to get it corrected and "make it right" he said he was confused about the project and could not help us because his schedule was booked.
Description of Work: Asked to level area of yard to place play structure. Build small retaining wall where needed.

Van gave me an estimate on the Wednesday before the job and came out to do the job on the following Monday. He completed all the work in two days. He and his crew were polite, friendly, and cleaned up everything afterwards. The retaining wall looks great. We plan to have him come back out to do some more work when we decide exactly what we want done.
Description of Work: Van and his crew removed a large number of large, unhealthy shrubs, removed old landscaping timbers, and cut out some very large tree roots that came from a neighbors Doug Firs that had been removed. He also installed a 60' long x 2' high retaining wall to make a sloped area into a better planting area, and brought in a lot of soil to backfill the slope.

First used Van's 8 years ago and we were very pleased then. Found the receipt and called them for an estimate. Van came out the next day and gave a very reasonable estimate. He also gave us good advice about what to do in some challenging areas and when the best time would be to replant some trees. There was quite a bit of work to be done and Van thought it might take 3 days. Turns out they were able to work carefully and efficiently and do a fantastic job in just 2 days. They provided some nice extras that had not been discussed when the estimate was given like weeding and placing bark in an extra area that really needed it and cleaning out some existing rock areas. Everything looked so good and we are very pleased that we had them do the work for us. We intend to use them for regular maintenance so that we don't get into such a big job again.
Description of Work: Overall front and backyard clean up. Extensive ivy removal, old tree removal, pruning of existing trees and bushes plus extensive weeding, new plants and rockery placed. Removal of old play yard border and new sod placed. Bark placed front, back and side yards.

Company failed to show up for estimate appointment. They may have attempted to contact as later as we got calls from an unknown number that night and the next day, but no messages were left. So, went with the landscaper who actually showed up.

We couldn't have been more pleased.
Description of Work: Van & his crew cut down a very large cherry tree & cedar tree, along with two 15 to 20 foot trees that were dying & 6 other smaller trees & 4 very large bushes. Van & his crew trimmed & weeded two different Islands. Along with three smaller flower beds and a large corner area of the back yard that was very overgrown with large shrubs and bushes. Van also transplanted a very large japanese maple. Van & his crew took all the wood away & hauled all the trash away. The amount of work they did in two days was just awesome. My Wife & I are having Van do our lawn every two weeks. We would recommend Van to anyone and we already have two friends that have called Van for estimates on their yards.

Van came out for an estimate a day after I left him my original message, gave me a bid on the spot, and returned the next week to do the work. He finished the job in the time he promised, one very long day. He promised there would be new grass in two weeks, but Northwest weather being its fickle self, it took several more weeks. Although my lawn was down to the soil for quite a while, I know that Van was doing the right thing for it, and now it is lush and green again - and no moss.
Description of Work: I had Van thatch the moss from my yard. Because there was hardly any grass left after he thatched, he also had to bring in top soil and reseed the entire lawn. He topped the seed with peat moss and rolled the lawn to keep the seed from blowing away. He removed all the thatch and cleaned the driveway and walkways.

Needed a tall thick hedge trimmed. Called in morning, couldn't get through, no one called back. Called again , got through. They said they would come in the evening to look at the hedges and leave a quote. Never bothered call back. I bought a hedge trimmer and some tools and tried to do it myself, took a couple of days, and its not as neat. but it's a lot better than it was before

Overall extremely good. Van gave an on the spot estimate for the entire project. Finished earlier than projected. Excellent work both on the landscaping lawn installation and the decking. We also used Van for installing new Cedar shingle siding on the house and renovating a studio on the property. Excellent work in a tricky space. Stuck to his original quote and always finished on time.
Description of Work: Graded landscape, installed perimeter fence, installed lawn and play area. Replaced decking around new lawn. Renovated studio with new drywall, windows, door and flooring. Replaced Cedar shingle siding on house.

They work to satisfy. If I don't like something, they fix it, no questions asked. We will continue to use them
Description of Work: They have come two years in a row in the fall to do clean-up of landscaping from the road to the water's edge. They pull all weeds, trim bushes, removed trees and a pile of dried out termite ridden wood, and trim back ivy as well. They blow all the landscaping and it looks perfect. This is a very large yearly job.
