Van's Landscaping & Gardening Services

See above.  They overchage and our not punctual.

We are very happy with Van's work and would recommend him without reservation.

thorough job.

Unfortunately, we agreed on a time to meet at my house for an estimate at 6pm. I came home to wait for him. at 6:55pm he called and said, he was sorry but they were not going to come, because they decided that they were not doing maintenance lawn work in the capitol hill area. I'm not particularly mad about it, but to me that is "C" quality service to make me wait for nothing.

See notes above.

Van's landscaping mows my lawn every week, I am very happy with their work and their service.

Van was very professional to deal with. He gave me a very reasonable estimate on a large cleanup project on a rental property that had become very overgrown over the years. He performed the job exactly as we agreed. I will use him again.

My only misgiving was that I requested removal of a couple of bushes as part of the second job they did (see above), and they didn't do that.   But all in all, I recommend this company.

We have used Van's several times and they have always been very professional.  They do regular yard maintenance for us. Each year we have several jobs for them to do for Spring cleaning. They always do a really great job, we have always been very pleased with their work.

Worked with me to arrive at scope of work to be done and price...clear what they would do and did more than I expected

They were good. They worked hard, they were fast, and cleaned up after themselves. They did a great job.

This crew did a great job, starting with an estimate that I got in 15 minutes rather than having to wait weeks just for an estimate from other bidders--all of whom were much higher.  Mr. Van was very friendly and engaged and personally supervised the entire operation.  I can't believe they got so much done in only 2 days--these guys are hard workers and they really know what they are doing!   The new plants are great and the yard looks perfect.   I even called them back for a minor touch-up and they responded quickly and thoroughly.  I am very impressed with their sincerity and focus on quality, for a good price.

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.  

The experience with them was really good.  They did a great job.  They did exactly what they quoted.  They showed up on time and they met their quote.  They were very personable and friendly.  It was a good experience.  I will use their services again in the future.

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.

Van takes care of my needs weekly and does additional work when requested.

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. 

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.

Good

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.

excellent

Van was punctual and efficient. Clean work.

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.

perfect

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.
