Craig and his crew did a good job. They successfully redirected the water away from my house, which is what I wanted done. They remediated my basement leakage issues for a fraction of the cost I thought it might be, so I am happy. They also came in within their quote, which was good.

I contacted Craig Zogleman for our backyard landscape project in April from my research on Angie's list. We had our initial consultation in which we discussed what I expected for my landscape and he conveyed that he could do the work. I will tell you that I am a very particular person and I expect things done a certain way and he exceeded my expectations. We had many delays due to the weather- but Craig kept me on his schedule. I was concerned about the 'tracking' in my yard that may occur with the heavy amounts of stone, rock, and fill dirt brought in- but he and his crew did a spectacular job in keeping that at a minimum, so much so that I could hardy tell they were in my yard! He finished up in July- much later than I had planned but it couldn't be helped due to the weather delays and I am extremely happy with the results and I would highly recommend Craig as he is a first class person. He communicated with me by email mainly, which worked out fine. He did exactly what I wanted and I can't be more pleased. Craig has an exceptional work ethic- a rarity these days!
Response from Zoglman Grade & Seed
"Thank you for the response! I have to admit it was a mess with the wet weather along with the heat but it all turned out well. I appreciate your understanding with weather delays and so on, most people do not understand that one wet day puts me back 2 or 3. Thanks again"

Not well, the owner had very poor communication skills! I called to arrange an appointment and never heard back from any personal of the company. Then two weeks after that call, the owner (Craig) and two employees randomly showed up with their equipment. They just started work in my backyard without confirmation that I still needed/ or wanted the work completed. I was alerted to this, by the loud noise of machinery. I looked out my window and saw a huge tractor in my backyard. I went outside immediately and spoke with Craig asking why he was here? Craig reminded me that I had left a message for the work to be completed. I reminded him I never heard back from anyone and no longer needed the services. They then proceeded to load up all of thier equipment. The whole situation was very unprofessional and bizarre!

"I do not recall your job situation but I do not make it a habit to show up unless I was given a green light on a job. If your facts are correct I am sorry but I honestly do not recall this confusion."

The grade was done well given what the contractor had to work with. Due to erosion, the side yards where somewhat washed out. I asked about filling it in with a few loads of top soil, but the grading contractor blew me off a bit saying, "That should have been done before the sprinkler system was installed." While this may be the case, I think they should have let me know this before I installed the sprinkler system. I had called in advance of the sprinkler system installation to get advice as to how to prepare the property for a sprinkler system and sod. It seems to me this would have been the time to advise me to have additional soil delivered to the property to fill in the erosion on the side yards. But, I was not advised of this. So, while they did a good job grading the property as it was, I would have appreciated more advice in prepping the place before the contractor came.
Response from Zoglman Grade & Seed
"Everything I told you did out of order from how much water to when to water. The system was in when I told you to wait. I also did not charge $1500, that was the guy who laid your sod not me. I only graded ahead of him."

They gave us a price upfront and that's what they did it for. They were very efficient. It took them about a week. The weather was cold and nasty. There were a couple of days that they couldn't do anything because it was too cold. It looks really nice. We've had a lot of compliments on it. They seemed very reliable and very trustworthy. Their pricing was very reasonable. They came as soon as they were available and they got us appraised of what their schedule was. We didn't have any problems with them. They came about a week that they told us they would come.

1. No one answers the phone. I waited for at least 2-3 days before my calls were returned. The time scheduled for initial visit was missed. I had taken half day off from work and the owner of Zoglman forgot about the appointment.
2. Quality of work: I was initially contended with the quality of work they did. After few months I saw the water accumulation in my yard. Openings of the pipes they dug underground for down sprout drainage were poor quality plastic, they started breaking away. Very hard to clean them with leaves accumulation in the openings.
3. I got another quote for the same work done by Zoglman and I was quoted $550.

"I do not recall any calls from you when things did not work like you expected. I believe the neighbors yard was higher than yours and told you that if not addressed it would still be a problem. As far as the downspouts go if you run into them or weed eat on them they will break. I intend to look at your property when I am in the area to see what you claim is wrong. I find it hard to understand how 2 years later you now complain."

I was very happy with Mr. Zoglman's services. My large garden bed had a lot of problems - overgrown bushes, shrubs that weren't suited to their location, drainage issues, and a terribly invasive plant that was taking over a third of the bed and starting to creep out into the lawn. Mr. Zoglman discussed solutions with me and came up with some cost effective ideas to improve the bed. He trimmed back the overgrown shrubs, removed the shrubs that weren't thriving and replaced them with shrubs more suited to the location and successfully removed the invasive plant even though it was so tenacious he had to come back 3 times to finally kill it. He was very careful to preserve as many of the surrounding plants as possible. He also replaced the mulch in the bed, added decorative rock in the area that has drainage problems and cleaned up the brick border. This bed was originally designed and installed by a well known local nursery, but I have been much happier with Mr. Zoglman's services. He was professional, knowledgeable, helpful and a pleasure to work with throughout the process.

"Thanks for the review, it was nice meeting you and your family. Sorry it took awhile to get a handle on the ivy problem. Hopefully we have a handle on it. Let me know in the spring if it trys to come back."

Craig is very good- very responsive. The new landscape looks very chic. He added a bit of hardscape to our flowerbeds-very nice touch. The only negative would be that atleast 8 plants he put in didnt make it to spring of 2013. But he replaced them all without any fuss. He's a bit expensive but its very professional job. Our neighbors commented on how good our yard looked.
Response from Zoglman Grade & Seed
"Thank you for the remarks, hopefully this summer is easier on the new plants. We enjoyed working for you and look forward to future projects"

They did a really good job, they came out when I was out of town and trimmed my wisteria vines that was growing on my deck. I came home and they did exactly want I wanted them to do.
Response from Zoglman Grade & Seed
"Thanks (deleted member name) Im glad you were satisfied with the trimming. It was really getting out of control for where it is. Hope all is well with you after the loss of your dad. Thanks again."

Outstanding job, cut the sod to perfectly fit yard. Afterwards you could barely tell that the section was replaced.

Overall very satisfied. The backyard no longer holds water even with having watered in fescue seed this fall, crawlspace no longer dampens during rainfall, and northside of house seems at this time to be keeping water away from basement.

"Thanks Member, glad to hear it all works well. Let us know when you get the back patio removed and we can repair lawn or do a stone patio for you. Congrates on your recent wedding."

Craig and his crew were very professional and punctual. Communication was very good and quality was good.
It was not as not an easy job as some of the foundation dirt and rock had to go under an existing deck in the back yard.
Also I asked about the buried gutter drain at the last minute and he had it installed the next day.
He was very knowledgeable and was a hard worker as was his crew.
What impressed me about Zoglman Grade & Seed was the fact that they were one of the only landscape contractors that still till the yard before planting for a proper seed bed. I called at least 5 different landscape companies and they all wanted to either verticut or hydroseed a new lawn.
I would definitely use them again. Also Craig is one of the few owners that come out and work with his crew. I have been disappointed in the past when an owner came out for a bid and then you never seen them again and thier crew shows up and there are language barriers etc.

"Thank You for the response here. I am glad you are happy with the work and the new lawn, working under that deck wasn t much fun but at least you won t have to deal with it any more. It was nice to have worked for you."
