"We needed to connect our patio to our deck stairs and lower concrete patio. We also had a steep slope we needed a stair-type solution to. Jake came out and went over the details with us. We decided to replace the current square concrete block patio under the pergola with a round paver patio that connected everything. Jake also recommended a large natural stone block stair to deal with the slope. After getting the estimate we were pleased and went ahead and paid the half up-front to get it on the books. They were able to start only a couple months later and spent a good week working on the project. The old patio was torn down and the blocks carefully stacked. Yard damage was minimized and a very nice patio and path was built. The initial stairs connecting to the concrete patio wasn't exactly what we wanted, and Jake had it rebuilt with no complaints and no additional cost. We are extremely pleased with how everything turned-out, and would definitely recommend them."

we have been in business for 12 years now. and have 8 employees we except checks, cash and credit cards

"Purchased a cord of “seasoned” wood through Facebook in Feb 2025. Unfortunately it wasn’t seasoned, and doesn’t burn unless the fireplace or flue is open. It just smolders and turns black. Sap runs out and in a few places it carmelized on my fireplace. I reached out through Facebook immediately and never heard back from him. I sent him pictures to show how wet the wood was, and got no response. When I got to the center of the pile this week, there were huge dead bugs all over inside the wood, and those pieces appeared to be rotten. I know it was peak cold season and wood was in high demand, but I still expected to get what was advertised- seasoned firewood not wet firewood and firewood filled with bugs."

"Customer service was consistently disappointing. The latest example involved fall fertilization of three trees. I had agreed to a contract that specified a fall fertilization and winter topical treatment of a hickory tree. The contract also included treating 2 ash trees to prevent ash borer infestation every 3 years. A year ago I paid for the fall fertilization and last winter the hickory treatment. Yesterday (10/10/2024), a man arrived and did another fall fertilization. I had not been notified this work was going to be done or I would have cancelled it due to my decision to terminate services with the Arbor Doctor. When I confronted the man performing the service yesterday, he called his office and told me I would be contacted by someone to explain why he was there. A woman called me and said the contract was for once a year treatment of fall fertilization and winter treatment of the hickory. I said that was not at all clear to me, but I hadn't yet examined the contract. I said I did not want any more services provided by the Arbor Doctor. She said I was responsible for that day's fertilization. After the call, I examined the contract I'd approved and nowhere did it say the treatments would be every year unless I cancelled them in advance. The contract did state the ash borer treatment would be every 3 years. (Another reason I decided to "fire" the Arbor Doctor was the exorbitant fee for the ash treatments: $1275 (which I paid) vs. $725 from a recent bid by Madison Tree Care)."

"Giving this company a 2 is generous. Please don't hire them. They have so many added fees in their final bill. My bill had an extra $3,500, which was more than a 10% increase for "general conditions". No explanation was given for this. The labor was $100 per man hour. The poor guys doing the work don't even see half of this money. I could go on and on. What I received for the $30,000 I paid was a piddly walkway. I still can't believe how badly I was taken. I worked with Tom Fryman. His communication was subpar. Theybstarted the job off incorrectly, so they had to do repair work, and they billed me for their mistake. This company is dishonest and greedy. Do yourself a favor and find someone else for the job."

"It went really well! The tree crew who did the tree pruning did a wonderful job and they took down old, dead trees flawlessly - and completed the work in 1 day. We were very happy with the tree removal and pruning. The landscape crew was friendly, asked questions to clarify what we wanted, cleaned up and put away their tools each night. It was obvious they cared about the customer. A special shout out to Nate and Amanda in particular; they were nice and were great workers! First, a tremendous customer service story: Our front porch was rebuilt and replaced with Classicstone pavers, but the colors didn't match the colors we were shown and expected. We called as soon as we realized and insisted that they pull what they had just laid and re-install with a different color. The Wimberg designer, Julia, ensured that we the customer was satisfied, so she quickly provided us with actual pictures of three different pallets of pavers and allowed us to pick what we wanted (yes, she also gave a professional suggestion, too). The next day, the "bad" pavers were taken up and the "good" pavers re-installed! I was thoroughly impressed with the flexibility and the desire to satisfy the customer, even if it meant wasted time, effort and money that had to be re-done. I will be a lifetime customer - it reinforces why Wimberg has received the #1 landscaper award for the last several years. The rest of the job looks great, too! The selected boxwood shrubs and spruce trees look perfect - all similar shapes and sizes. The placing and positioning of new plantings followed our directions. As well, they nailed the final finishing touches: laying down a healthy amount of mulch, laying down seed and straw in the slightly damaged parts of the yard (even more than was expected), and cleaning up as if they'd never been there. We were very excited at the outcome and wholeheartedly recommend Wimberg. A couple footnotes worth mentioning: since they are in high demand, it may take some time to get to your job. Be patient and plan well in advance, they are worth the wait. Being a premium landscaper, they are not the cheapest; but if you're like me and willing to pay a premium price for premium quality and a high level of customer service, they are a great choice. It took a couple months from contract to scheduling, and all the jobs wrapped up within a 2-3 week timeframe. We were more than happy to wait until September for new plantings, so it worked out fine for us. We enjoy working with Julia; she is easy to work with and has a great customer-service orientation. She always responded promptly on nights and weekends to our emails, and followed through and did everything she said she would do. She is a huge asset to the Wimberg organization."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

The quickest way to kill weeds is to burn them, pour boiling water on them, or pull them out by hand. Each of these methods works instantaneously. Beyond that, using vinegar for grass works in a couple of hours, as do herbicides you can buy at the store. The slowest way to kill weeds is to starve them of nutrients and sunlight with mulch or fabric covers.

DIY is possible for small properties. Professional services ensure consistent quality and proper maintenance for large areas.

If you use a starter fertilizer designed for this purpose, you can overseed and fertilize at the same time. If you opt to use a fertilizer for established grass or one with a weed control component, it's best to wait at least four to eight weeks after seed application to allow the new grass to take hold and establish itself. 

Lime isn't a fertilizer. Instead, it helps fertilizers, plant food, and naturally occurring nutrients reach the grass by boosting the pH level in acidic soils. While adding lime isn't a crucial task in some locations, it's vital to keeping a lawn healthy in many areas. Lime's ability to encourage healthy grass by making nutrients in the soil more effective makes the task worth the effort, regardless of location.

Lawn care is tough work—even when you hire pros, there’s no guarantee your grass won’t die (unless, of course, your company offers a guarantee). But lawn care companies don’t control the rain or watering restrictions. Your type of grass also impacts the type of care required to keep a lush lawn—and how much that care costs. Talk to a lawn care pro to determine the best times to treat your lawn based on type of grass and your climate.
