In the early summer of 2022, I had the unfortunate experience of working with Jude Kearney and JK…read moreSeasonal Services for the landscaping of my new construction home. I hired them to perform the final grade of my lawn, install grass seed, and provide landscaping around my house. Unfortunately, the quality of their work was extremely poor. The grading of the lawn is very uneven and yard is full of rocks still, some very large, and it's affected the quality of the grass growing in. The unevenness has also led to some areas that pool large amounts of water, and the drainage is poor throughout. Some areas remain very bare, and have more rocks than grass at this point, now 10 months since the seed was installed. Jude's crew also left debris and equipment on our property and our neighbor's, and it irritated our new neighbors enough, and we needed to reach out to Jude multiple times in order to finish the clean-up. Additionally, the edge work around all of our beds is lazy and does not meet the "natural spade edge bed" as outlined in the contract. There's a long dirt patched that they left untouched to the side of our driveway, using the excuse that they couldn't tend to it until our neighbor graded their own property. They informed me of this the day of completion, and they ignored me requests to come back out complete the job as promised. When I attempted to communicate with Jude about these issues, they did not respond to my calls or emails. The voicemail box at the number listed is typically full, and I've only ever reached Jude once on the phone throughout the course of this entire process. I sought Jude out to reach a resolution that would be fair for both parties in order to avoid posting a review like this publicly, but the company has failed to return my calls and emails. I would strongly advise anyone considering using JK Seasonal Services to look elsewhere. Their poor workmanship, lack of communication, and unprofessionalism make them a company to avoid.

After the first round of April storms swept through Wisconsin last Monday evening, a 35-year-old,…read more40+ foot spruce in my backyard was left leaning at about a 30-degree angle. It was on the verge of falling--and worse, it was positioned to take out several younger, healthy spruce trees that would be extremely difficult to replace. With more severe weather (including actual tornadoes) forecast for Tuesday evening, I urgently began contacting tree services. A couple of companies came out quickly to assess the situation, but getting a crew on-site before the next storm hit that evening proved to be a major challenge. Most crews were already tied up with even more urgent jobs involving structural damage, which I completely understood. As Tuesday evening approached and I still didn't have a confirmed crew, I started bracing for the likelihood that I'd lose more trees. I followed up one more time with John from Man vs. Tree, hoping for a miracle--and he delivered. Despite an already packed schedule, he committed to coming out that same day, just as the storm was moving in. What I didn't realize at the time was that he wouldn't even have his full crew--just himself and one helper from the office. They arrived right as conditions deteriorated. With tornado sirens going off, strong winds picking up, lightning flashing, and eventually heavy rain pouring down, they got to work. They carefully anchored and stabilized the tree and, against the odds, brought it down safely--directly away from the surrounding trees, with zero damage. By the time they finished, it was nearly pitch dark due to the storm and time of day. It was an incredibly impressive display of skill and composure under pressure. A few days later, as promised, they returned to cut up the tree and haul everything away. They also recommended a great stump grinding service that took care of the remaining stump without issue. On extremely short notice and under truly difficult conditions, Man vs. Tree came through in a big way and likely saved several of my other trees. I can't thank John enough for his responsiveness, professionalism, and outstanding work. Bottom line: Man vs. Tree delivered when it really mattered to me. Fast response, great communication, and excellent work under pressure. Highly, highly recommended.

This is my second project I hired Dahl's for and again I was not disappointed. Since my job was a…read moresmaller one, I made sure to get under contract before the season was on us, which meant I could be fitted in between larger jobs, and sooner than if I had waited to book them. They show up on time, ask me good questions and make sure I am happy all along the process, and they do a great job! If not for the straw laid down to help the grass seed, I would not see any signs of their work due to the cleanup they are careful about. Thank you to Steven, Nate and Brandon for their hard work and kindness all along. I had paving stones similar to my last project, so see the photos for examples. This time the work was in a different area of the yard, and it is covered up with straw so pictures don't do much good. However, trust me when I say it is quality work. I highly recommend Dahl's, but get on the schedule asap as they fill up for the season faster than you would hope.

They did replace the tree but unfortunately it was much smaller and we will have to wait for a few years to get any fruit. They did take $100 off for us to plant it ourselves. There should have been way better communication between the owner and staff so this didn't happen in the first place. The lead landscaper that was here working with the other guys said he "didn't bring his notes". We get mistakes happen, but you should probably show up with at least your notes to a job so you know what was asked to get done. Multiple areas the grass seed did not come up, so now we are left with weeds in spots we didn't have weeds before. The crushed granite patio has bare spots where the weed barrier is coming through. It's a very thin layer of stone and obviously not compacted tightly. They told us it wouldn't shift, we wouldn't have problems. It's been 3 months since it was put in and we already have an issue. We have tried calling and emailing several times for 2 months. We did get 1 call back that said they would come out to assess but it rained that day and they never called to reschedule or come out. Since no effort has been made by Dahl's landscaping to correct any of this, we will be forced to hire someone else to finish the job having to spend more money after being charged over 10k for something to be done correctly.

We hired Rolling Hills Lawn Care after a previous company caused damage to one portion of our…read moreproperty. I was very clear that I didn't want the large riding lawnmower on our side hill, and Matt, the owner, was very accommodating and agreed that a trimmer or push mower would be used there. Each grass cutting was done very well, and I relayed to Matt what a good job they were doing. I also hired them to do the work for a small garden, and again, expressed my thanks and paid promptly. The last 3-4 weeks, I noticed big tire tracks on the side, and grass dug up as a result. I tried verifying with Matt that nothing had changed, and he said he would again put it in the notes for our house. This last week I outright saw the employee whizzing by in both directions on that side. I had warned Matt I had markers up because I had to reseed. To avoid the markers, his employee went down into our neighbors' yard on that equipment, causing damage to both of our yards. I never thought trying to get a simple lawn cutting would turn into this constant back and forth, repeatedly trying to find out what had caused this change in service. Matt told me twice, in emails, that his mow crew were "ignoring his notes" about our property. This was a definite red flag, and I decided against having them do additional projects. After much back and forth, with Matt questioning me if they could have actually caused that damage (the tire tracks are clearly visible), they did seed the damage. It was quite large, and I asked for some reimbursement for watering (I offered to provide a bill to show usage, I was not asking for some astronomical amount). He told me no. Keep in mind, this was completely caused by their willfully using equipment on our yard, and neighbor's yard, that was not to be used. The contract I had with them stated either party may cancel with a 30 day notice, and I was fast reaching my breaking point. Matt beat me to it by canceling effective immediately (apparently he doesn't need to abide by his own contract, in essence committing breach of contract), saying it was too much work, and that once the grass comes up this would just happen again. He didn't seem to have confidence in his company's ability to cut the grass. I don't actually quite understand the thinking behind the final resolution, but he did make certain to bill me immediately for the cutting that caused the damage and did provide some money for water, after stating my request was unreasonable and excessive. It's a shame it was handled so poorly, and I was made to feel like this was my fault, or that I was asking for too much. I don't understand a business treating a customer like this. Thankfully I have never encountered anything like this before, and hope this was just poor communication between an owner and his employees. Grass cutting should not be this difficult. Update: Matt says I continued to submit reimbursement requests. Sadly he is not being honest. The damage was extensive to our yard, and to our neighbor. I have to water both. I have posted more pictures. The one and only request for reimbursement was for water, and I offered to show a bill for a month of usage, or stated he could adjust the bill with a credited cutting. That was it. Obviously he reseeded, wouldn't any company? He broke his own contract, breaching the terms, by canceling on the spot. We were such honest customers, that when he made an error in the estimate for our garden and didn't bill me for the dirt, I let him know and had it included. It's too bad he hasn't learned to treat his customers with respect, and feels the need to be dishonest.
