Jason and his team just finished "rebuilding" my backyard! And the results are amazing! And when I say "rebuild" - I mean it! My backyard was disaster and soaking wet anytime it rained. Jason and the team fixed this by putting in a drainage system powered by a subpump with drains throughout the yard. Then they graded it - mulched, sodded, and planted all new shrubs and trees! Looks like a million bucks - best investment I have made since purchasing my home. read more

So happy I chose this company. Very professional and friendly. Outstanding quality work

First of all, I don't know how pictures of landscaping I did by myself were posted on a review of Delong landscaping. I was doing all of my bushes, clean up, and every picture that one sees in the beginning are of plantings I did. I have tried to remove them and so far it hasn't been done. Somehow my first review was scored higher than I left initially. I will restate my review here.. in spite of numerous requests for the owner to come see that I only had perhaps 10 ft.² of lawn and I was removing it myself to create a flower garden, they continue to charge me as though they were mowing a mansions landscaping. I was being charged $800 for mowing, while his company mowed my lawn 2-3 times. I was home the entire time for two summers and there was not enough work done to justify the cost. The owner offered to reduce the bill to $400 which was, what I consider, unfair billing practices. All I received were emails stating that which was owed, in spite of numerous requests for an itemized statement, which his cousin always provided. When his cousin owned the business he was right on top of things and charged $17 a cut. In spite of inflation $25 a cut for practically no lawn, is not justifiable. When people leave reviews stating "reasonable prices" I would like to what they consider reasonable and whether we are comparing apples to apples. Perhaps their idea of reasonable is based on their income I don't know. Teachers in Detroit charter schools are not paid a lot. At the time, his cousin would mow the backyard as well, something that was not possible due to construction when the business changed hands according to the owner. It is odd that I was able to take the weeds down with a weed trimmer I purchased in no time. I even took the weeds down to the point at which I could cover them with tarps so I can put in artificial turf. I find the owner to be an absentee one at best. He even spoke to me rudely about how I spoke to his giant intimidating employee because I had just had knee surgery and was yelling through the door while the the nicer young man had the weed trimmer running loudly. I did apologize but anyone who is told that I was in pain and that I had knee surgery two days ago, should have understood. From then on I spoke deferentially to the man and confided things to him to create a mask of friendship. I was really anxious and afraid of losing what little service I received because I couldn't do it. I am tired of the few who take advantage of single working mothers. read more

Our community contracted with DeLong for snow removal. In 30+ years of working with snow removal companies DeLong is the worst. The destruction of landscaping caused by their plow trucks is unacceptable. I paid for snow removal to be done by hand on my driveway and they never got it right. Not only that, but they used their plow trucks to push snow up my driveway and piling it in my yard, which caused my grass to die. Repairs in the spring were promised but never done. DeLong also sub-contracts some/all of the work and has no control over the workers. Run don't walk away from this company! read more

When my elderly mother lost her regular lawn service provider due to the COVID shutdown, we reached out to Jason. He responded promptly and took good care of her yard at a fair price. When discussing seasonal snow removal, he also offered to do the fall clean up at a very fair price so we have contracted with him for both. The primary reason for leaving this 5-star review is that Jason has been EXTREMELY professional, responsive, and fair. Having had some extremely poor experiences with other commercial providers, this is both refreshing and appreciated. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for residential yard services. read more

I've had a great experience with DeLong Landscaping and snow removal. They've been reliable and have great communication. I would definitely recommend them! read more

I had DeLong landscaping completely renovate and rearrange my whole back yard over 4 years ago and it's held up tremendously over the years. Since then the company has been maintaining my grass and driveways during the summer and winter seasons. Perfect plowing and salting, not crashing a plow or scalping my hilly yard with the movers or trimmers. They are very reputable and professional as well as friendly and personable. Jason (the owner) always gives strong helpful honest suggestions as to what would be best for me and my wallet as well as my yard/driveway. I highly recommend anyone to use and book appointments through the DeLong landscaping. read more

Just signed up for snow removal and couldnt be happier. The snow was gone so quick and timely i was amazed. Only reason for 4 stars was because you definitely have to pay a premium to get good work. read more

Unbelievably bad on many levels! Do yourself a favor and stay far away. Work was subpar, keeping their word was not the case with me, damaged edging, did not show up, we actually paid extra to bag and take away fall leaves and all they did was dump them behind our garage and try to charge again for a clean up. We decided to cut our losses and move on.........snow removal was even worse! read more

When I first started researching companies for a Paver Patio installation, I was cautious about Delong landscaping due to several negative reviews. I decided to check them out anyways because any business can have a bad day. Delong initially was fantastic with communication and timeliness. Jason responded with detail and care to my inquiry. He drafted up a design for my patio, gave me a breakdown of pricing, and explained the process of installation in an easy to understand manner. As soon as he received my deposit (50% of the price) to lock my dates in, things went downhill. Communication became very tedious and slow. Several of my requests went unanswered. After tweaking the patio design and choosing new paver stones, I requested that Jason send me a new invoice to ensure I was within my max budget. Jason would not send me a new invoice, but insisted that we would not go above my budget. The project started two weeks after the date that was promised with the deposit with no explanation or contact from Jason. I had to reach out to him several times to find out when he would be arriving. When he finally told me the start date, he ended up doing a no-show. At 10AM I asked him when he would be starting; he answered at 11AM and said work would start at Noon. At Noon the bricks were delivered by a delivery service, but Jason and his crew were MIA. At 3:30, having heard nothing from Jason, I reached out to him again asking what was going on. He proceeded to complain about the job he was on saying he would be there until 8PM. I asked him for a new start date/time; he said he was going to make it out that night still. I asked him to please give me a time, which he said he would do. Again, I heard nothing from him until I reached out to him at 10PM to confirm they wouldn't be starting that day. The installation itself took 4 days. The patio installation was done fairly well. There are several issues on the sitting wall where the brick glue was spilled or applied lazily. The sand distribution between bricks was also haphazard in a few areas. Other than that, the bricks were laid well and the patio itself looks very clean and neat. Service was supposed to include "turf revitalization," which was only partially done; Jason's crew left the entire west side of patio turf without any soil or grass seed distribution. I opted to fix this myself. When Jason sent me the bill, I noticed that the square footage seemed to be off. I questioned Jason about it, and he offered a first explanation of why I was "confused." When I then asked him how he could install 100 square feet more of patio than what was ordered for the brick pavers, he offered a new explanation of why I was "confused." This explanation involved him having canceled part of my order so that he could order part of the bricks separately and pick them up himself instead of being delivered. When I asked for a copy of the separate brick order invoice, he proceeded to tell me that I never should have seen the brick invoice that was delivered to my house in the first place and he didn't have time to dig up the other invoice. Shoddy bookkeeping is not the customer's fault. Overall - Jason and his team are good with paver installation, subpar with detail work, and abysmal with communication. My impression is that Jason is trying to do too many jobs at his own company and can't devote adequate attention or detail to anything because he's stretched too thin. There are other patio installation companies that will get you great patio results without all the headaches. read more

Beware!! I contacted DeLong Landscaping in the hopes of using them for my lawn services and landscaping needs this summer. I had to leave 3 voice mails before I even got a call back. Justin DeLong finally called me back and we scheduled a time for later that day for him to come by and give me an estimate. That time came and went and he never showed up, never called to say he wasn't coming and didn't return my call when I followed up to try and reschedule. If this is how they treat potential new customers, how would they treat me if I hired them? Unprofessional doesn't even begin to cover it. I have since moved on to one of their competitors and couldn't be happier. They have lost my business forever and I will make sure the entire Birmingham area knows about it. read more

I hired DeLong Landscaping for my home in Royal Oak. They installed a brick paver fire pit and patio and all the surrounding landscape, irrigation, and lawn.  Their workmanship is great and they did an awesome job. I would highly recommend them. DeLong Landscaping also did my parents house in Birmingham, and again, did an amazing job. read more

I have been dealing with Delong landscaping since its start in the mid 2000's. I started out with lawn care which has carried on with continuously outstanding quality. Within the past 6 years I decided to use his winter services such as snow plow, salting, and walk shoveling. My driveway and sidewalks are shoveled by the time I wake up without fail! In 2013 I wanted a brick paver patio and decided to contact Delong and try his company. My timeline was not terribly pressing so I was prepared to deal with his schedule. Not only was it done in a timely manner, but it was of exceptional quality. In 2015 I contacted Jason to landscape my backyard and they made an absolutely beautiful waterfall and a fire pit and I could have not been happier. I have recommended Jason to several friends for his miscellaneous services and I have heard nothing but thanks and praise. Thank you Jason for your years of service!!! read more
