Get matched with top storm drain installation pros in Bridgewater, MI

"The owner of the company came an hour and a half to my he to give me a FREE INSPECTION! He wasn’t a high pressure salesman, and he spent an hour and a half explaining to me EVERYTHING that could be wrong. Although at this time a system is not needed, he didn’t try to scare me into a purchase. This is a company that has integrity! If I EVER need a waterproofing system, this is the company I would hire hands down!"

"Did a great job. Had to snake out the main drain because of roots that were blocking in the main drain twice to get it cleared out. He did a fantastic job and I would definitely hire him again......Thank You......"

"Great! Very efficient. Cleaned up so well it was hard to tell they had been here. Installed a white board paneling on my very old walls. So happy with results. Matt & his crew exceeded our expectations."

"I spoke with roughly every foundation repair business within 25 miles of my home, and all gave me vastly different solutions upon seeing my home. Based on the research I did (online articles, reddit, etc.) Russ's solution aligned with everything I was looking for without me having to lead him there. We had new I-beams installed (plus several carbon fiber straps because my stairs hug the wall), new internal drain system, one wall re-aligned (with exterior waterproofing including hauling away clay soil and backfilling with peastone), and tuckpointing. It was a huge job to say the least, but the quality of work done was outstanding. During the job he will call you over to educate you on everything he's doing. His #1 priority is making sure you (as the customer) are 100% satisfied with the work being done. You always have the opportunity to ask questions, alter the solution, or add-on additional work. He has a solution for everything. With all that being said, you'll probably have to wait awhile, and it's on you to keep the line of communication open. My advice to you is if you don't hear from him after consultation/quote, follow up with him, try to gauge when work will be able to start, and follow up as the date gets closer. He runs one crew at a time so that he can oversee the job, he does every consultation/estimate himself, so it's challenging for him to chase everyone down to see if they're interested. Most companies want to get in and out as fast as possible, cutting corners, etc. Russ doesn't operate that way and will make sure the solution implemented is bulletproof. Your patience will be rewarded. It was great to meet everyone on the crew, big thanks again to Russ, Russell (son), Jake, Jay, David, and Tez!"

"Shout out to Joe and James, the team from FSM, who came out to our house today to level out two sidewalks that had sunk towards the house. They did a great job, raising both sidewalks so that the water now drains away from the house. Very happy with the outcome."

"Leveled existing 150 foot driveway, installed new gravel, compacted and leveled. Outstanding customer service, including proactive timing updates. Went out of their way to fix a problem at our mailbox. I highly recommend Great Lakes Gardening."

"Overall we were very pleased with the work done, and the changes made will hopefully be lasting positive change. Quote Process - The initial visit was by far the most thorough we had, with a lot of effort made by Jackie (the owner) to visualize and then communicate the vision. It took a while for the quote process to get underway, and some of that probably had to do with the pandemic timing and how busy all landscapers were after resumption of activities in Michigan. Once it started, there was good engagement and a lot of good planning communication. Timing - While the quote process took a while as described, once the quote was issued, the lead time was very competitive, and the time to do the work was quick given the amount of work done. Communication - Overall, communication was very thorough and effective before, during, and after the job. Since we had time and cost overruns during the job, Jackie was good at summarizing the cost status every night or morning to let us know where things stood. Communication during the job could have been a little more frequent, but as the customer, I struggled with trying to manage the job while working from home, avoiding too much contact due to the coronavirus pandemic, and letting them do their jobs without micromanaging them. A few things might have been miscommunicated or misunderstood both ways, but the vast majority of the communication was good. Quality - The quality of work done was overall very good. Jackie made our property look much better with her vision, and the installations were done well. There was a fair amount of damage to the grass on our property to the grading and moisture level (it had rained the day before they were there), and while they did seed and smooth (which has since grown in well), there were some areas that they didn't see that could have used it and are still a bit damaged. Price - Hourly costs and plant costs seemed very reasonable and competitive. The overall cost of our job had significant overruns, but mainly because there were several unforeseen issues that had to be dealt with and likely could not have been known during the quote phase (all under the ground stuff you wouldn't find until you dig). Efforts were made during installation to minimize cost because of this, and a cost cap was set to avoid a massive overrun to be fair to us as the customer, which I thought was unique and customer-focused. Post-Installation Help - I reached out a few times after the job was completed to ask advice and Jackie was very helpful and thorough in her replies. I think this is something that a lot of landscapers don't care to do, and I think it should be celebrated that someone takes time to build a more lasting relationship instead of an "on to the next job" philosophy. I would definitely hire them for future jobs, even more so with the knowledge that jobs after coronavirus is under control would be easier to more freely communicate during the job."

"this was a very hard week as far as weather 90 deg, high hum,and rain the team came every day and made it happen. I am very pleased with my new space"

"They did a wonderful job. Cleaned up afterwards really well.

"They were very professional from the day one when I met Tom Cox and through the completed installlation of my "WaterGuard" system. I look forward to seeing how the system works."
