He responded very quickly to request for estimate. He made time in the schedule quickly and got the work done earlier than anticipated. A small issue arose during the work about just how something was arranged, and he immediately re-worked the plan.

Norman was prompt to come out after I requested an estimate to be done for some yard grading and gravel install. His price was fair, communicated with me well on the job timeline, and was able to complete the job in a few days (first spraying the area to kill the weeds, etc. and then doing the grading + gravel install). All and all, I was a very happy to have chosen Pitzer Landscaping to complete the job!

Norm and crew started right on schedule and finished the entire job within 3 days, as estimated. He has continued to follow up with me every week or so to check in on the progress of the sod and provide recommendations for future care. Yard looks great, receiving lots of compliments from family and friends.

This was the only provider who returned my calls, but that's fine! They responded later the same day, gave me a price and a time-frame, and they followed through in a very professional manner. The wood is excellent quality, and the guys who delivered it were on time and the delivery was quickly done.

Norman was very helpful in providing guidance and suggestions on how to improve each item that I wanted to have done. His suggestions on plants to remove and new ones to add was spot on, the area looks very clean and is exactly what I wanted. Also, the grading done was great - prior to this I was worried about water flow into the house I just purchased and what he has done provided the confidence that I don't need to worry about that anymore. Great Job!

Norman responded to the voicemail that I left describing the situation within an hour of having left it. He was already on a job in our area and offered to come over the same day to assess the situation and give an estimate. Once he saw what we needed we set up a time 3 days later for him and his crew to come over and grade the area. Norman called the day before the work was to be done and said that the weather forecast for the day scheduled was calling for massive storms to roll through the area. He asked if he could come out that day and get it done. When he showed up with his team they worked very quickly but very meticulously. Norman was directing the work himself while raking the dirt to exactly where it needed to be. Once finished, the area looked completely new. I would highly recommend Pitzer Landscaping. Anyone can have a strong work ethic - what sets Norman apart is the philosophy that treating people right is the core of maintaining good relationships. He truly believes in working for you and your yard, not just how many jobs he can do in a day. This is evidenced by the fact that he was booked about 4-6 weeks out, but found the time to come take care of our situation while already in the area.

The job went extremely well. By having all the work done at the same time the landscape gained an overall trimmed and tidy look to everything. The job took about 3 hours to complete, but everything looked nice and neat when they finished. Norm is very easy to work with and explained everything he was going to do before they started. He and his crew picked up the marble so I didn't have to. That was greatly appreciated. Fantastic job as far as I'm concerned. I would highly recommend them.

Norman came over to provide an estimate and immediately recognized the urgency of getting the job completed as soon as possible. He was willing to pull guys off current jobs to come over the same day to complete the much needed lawn grading at my home which I really appreciated especially since rain was in the immediate forecast. The job was done promptly and I was completely satisfied. They even took the time to turn the existing mulch in my flowerbeds, which wasn't part of the work they hired to perform. They were very professional and thorough when explaining to me exactly what was done. I was also impressed by how well they cleaned up after the job was complete, there was no excess top soil or mulch left in the lawn or in the driveway.

We called and asked for an estimate. Norm came by within a week and wrote an estimate. We decided that we wanted to talk about options, so Norm came back within a couple of days of the request. He provided us with a couple of options and a strong recommendation. We went with all of them, and we are glad we did. We mentioned several issues with our lawn, and he remembered every one of them and took care of them all. The sod in the back yard looks fantastic, one month after laying it. The seeded areas in the front didn't fill in as well as we'd hoped, but it looks much better than it used to look. Norm always called ahead of time and showed up on time. He even returned in exactly two weeks to complete a part of the job, exactly as he said he would. Overall, we were extremely pleased with the service.
Description of Work: Our back yard was dug up during a home remodel. After we accepted the estimate, Norm killed the weeds and sodded the back yard. We also had grubs and weeds in the front yard; Norm and crew amended the soil and re-seeded those areas. Norm and crew also put river rock around our air conditioner (this was his idea, and a good one).
Norm communicated with us on every step of the project. He gave us detailed information about how much we needed to water and what we needed to do to maintain our beautiful yard. Norm and his employees came back several times throughout the summer to replant seed, fertilize and irrigate. He followed up constantly to make sure the grass was growing well and we weren't getting any flooding. In just less than a year our yard is absolutely stunning! We have thick bright green grass and gorgeous mulch beds.
Description of Work: We called Norm for a yard renovation. Our yard's elevation was very low compared to other homes on our block. Our yard would flood every time it rained, grass would not grow and it was extremely bumpy. Norm arrived to give us an estimate and gave us very detailed information on how he could transform our yard. Norm brought in a semi truck filled with topsoil which raised the level of our yard. New grass was planted throughout the summer. He also added mulch beds for us and created an area below our deck using river rocks.

Very well. Norm and his employees did a good job and were pleasant to interact with. The job took several days and they cleaned up the drive and sidewalk at the end of each day. Norm is very good about staying in touch and communicating what will be done when.
Description of Work: Yard was in very bad shape, overrun with tough vines and weeds, many bare areas and little grass. They stripped the entire yard (front and back); brought in topsoil and peat moss, adjusted grading in back, laid sod, and returned for touch-ups and fertilizing. Provided instructions on feeding, watering, and mowing. They also cleaned out several beds in front and back and put down new mulch.

The lawn renovation was a positive experience from the very beginning. Norm responded immediately to my initial request for his recommendation on what to do with the lawn, including an estimate. He was professional and pleasant to work with throughout the process, as were the members of his two-person crew. He truly seemed as interested in creating a beautiful lawn as I was in having him do it. Norm was flexible and willing to work with me as we went through the process, including a couple times that I changed my mind about things like the shape of the new beds. He made an active effort to keep me informed throughout the process, calling regularly to let me know what would be happening next and when it would be happening. The quality of the work was excellent. Norm continued to check in after the lawn was seeded to make sure it was getting enough water and being mown properly. The end result is the beginnings of a beautiful lawn and landscape. The new lawn care guy, who stopped by today to apply the first fall winterizing treatment, was impressed with the way the new grass is doing and assured me we will have the best lawn in the neighborhood next summer. I would definitely recommend Pitzer Landscaping for lawn renovation!
Description of Work: Norm and his crew did a complete lawn renovation for us, including killing of the existing lawn/weeds, removal of existing dirt in the front, regrading the entire lawn, installation of new topsoil, and seeding and fertilizing the entire lawn with a mix of four varieties of tall fescue. They also created several new beds as part of the process, one of which was planted as part of this service while the other two will be planted in the spring.

Norm was very knowledgeable and explained process and answered all the questions we had. He was easy to work with and would recommend him to others. We would hire him again.
Description of Work: Our front yard, side yard and tree lawn were torn up due to exterior drains installed by another company. Norm removed the grass, tilled, added soil plus, graded, and added seed and fertilizer to the front and mulch to the other areas. It was completed yesterday (10/8/15) and he stopped by yesterday and today to talk to us and give us watering instructions. Our tree lawn had the remainders of tree roots and he was able to remove them worth great effort. It looks great. He will return in 3 weeks to see how grass has germinated.

Wish I could share the outcome photo's on here........... Back yard looks magnificent!
Description of Work: I would just like to share what a fantastic job this company did for us in our back garden. The owner Norm came out, gave us a quote and the suggestions he made worked out perfectly! His crew showed up on time, got in there and got the old stuff out, relaid new sod, laid new mulch and planted lilac bushes on the side. We then had our front sidewalk re-done and needed more sod for our front before my Moms Birthday party (the next week) and sure enough, I called him and his guys came out and got that laid as well. He even went above and beyond by stopping by on a Sunday morning to remind us to water the sod out front more so than the back due to the new concrete drying up the water. If you need any landscaping work done in the city of Columbus, Pitzer's is the one I would highly recommend! In fact, I will be calling them back once I get my front porch painted to ask them to re-do our front garden! Job Well done !!!!! Very satisfied customer!

Norman and his crew were wonderful to work with. They were professional, polite, prompt and most importantly, did quality work. My landscaping looks terrific and Norman has returned twice to look everything over and ensure I am happy with the work done. I wouldn't hesitate to use Norman and Pitzer's Landscaping again and recommend them.

Norman could not have been more responsive or attentive, before and after the job. They brought in two dump loads (55 cubic yards) of premium topsoil and spread it to level out all the ruts and holes in the lawn, then used 100 lbs. of seed and the fertilized it. He came back three weeks later and over seeded and fertilized again. I even got in a pinch for a few days and he came back and watered for me. The grass is growing great and the bare spots are filling in. Could not be more pleased with the whole process including the results. I would highly recommend Pitzers to anyone!

I chose Pitzer's Landscaping to renovate my backyard, spring clean-up, and landscaping around a paver patio. From the initial consultation through project completion, I always came away with high regard for Norm Pitzer. Of the two other landscapers I consulted, his knowledge of what would be required to renovate my backyard was the most impressive. The renovation was needed due to the removal of several large trees damaged over the years by storms. I am very pleased with the results and my neighbors have also provided positive feedback on the landscaping. It was refreshing to deal with a contractor who was so customer-oriented and who completed the job as proposed!

After being burned for the last time using Craigslist, I joined Angieslist and looked for a company to deliver firewood. Norman Pitzer was very professional and promised my delivery on a Tuesday morning. The wood was delivered as promised, and on time. More importantly, the wood was SEASONED and ready to burn! Norman also made sure that I received wood that was cut to size (~16") so it would fit in my wood insert without me having to cut the pieces. The wood did not have dirt and rocks delivered with it, as had happened when I used other people in the past. I would highly recommend Pitzer Landscaping and Firewood for all your firewood needs. You may be able to find cheaper wood, but I assure you that you will not find better wood or a better company.

The results were excellent! We had issues with moisture in our basement that are now resolved. Several contractors told us that the grading around the house needed improved. We researched Angie's List and called Pitzer Landscaping because Norman appeared to have experience with grading. He offered solutions that made sense. Norman and his crew regraded the soil all around our home, adjusted mulch beds where necessary, and mulched. They were prompt both days that they worked here and were very professional and pleasant. Norman has called several times to check on the results of his work. We look forward to having Norman and his crew back to our home to do some landscaping. It is refreshing to find a contractor so committed to his work!! Thanks Norman.
