Eric is fantastic. Before a pool installation in my backyard I needed to find the sprinkler lines…read moreto ensure these would not cause any flooding or damage to the pool. I called other companies in the area in advance to schedule the work but nobody was able to fit me in. The contractors the. moved up our project a couple weeks which was exciting...but now i was pressed to find someone in short notice. I found Van Kal's listing via google, and called on the Friday before the scheduled Dig on The coming Monday. Eric (owner) answered and said he would be over first thing Monday morning to assess the situation, just three days later! No foss. Monday morning at 6:45 he was in my driveway and assessed the situation. I remember him saying - "It's going to look scary with pipes sticking up all over but I'll take care of everything!" With the cement scheduled to be poured this week, Eric was back today and he did what he promised. He reviewed each line, opened each to assess any concerns, traced the wires to identify the valves to isolate, closed off the impacted lines, corrected some additional issues and fixed some damaged heads. We all know the type of people that we want to do work around our homes. Those that plan to do the right thing and then make sure it's done the right way. Eric is the independent business owner who has this work ethic and it shows from the moment you speak with him until the job is completed. And he isn't going to soak you with a huge bill either. Pun intended! Just had to do it I will absolutely have Van Kal Back for any new work. Thank you.

Is this how they normally great new customers!? I asked if I had the right number and he confirmed. He then asked who I was and I told him I was a customer looking to get a quote for a drainage problem on my property. I then told him that based on the way he handled the call that I would be looking to get the quote from someone else. He then said "Maybe you should do that bro" and hung up on me. I'll never call them again!!

I have used DeYoung for landscaping, lawn mowing, and sprinkler system startup/shutdown/repair for…read moreseveral years. In addition, I had contracted with the for snow removal but the driver would cause damage to my lawn. Each time that I mentioned that to DeYoung, as required by my contract, the driver damaged even more of my lawn, ignoring markers and driving an entire truck length into my lawn. I decided to give notice to cancel the snow removal contract and look elsewhere for that portion of my service. Today I attempted to submit my summer contract for lawn mowing. I had signed a contract in the fall for landscaping this year. My e-mail was returned stating that DeYoung had chosen to not honor my contracts and to cease services. Why - because I let them know that their snow plow operator damaged my lawn, as required in my contract, and let them know that I was not happy? In my opinion, they were unprofessional and didn't honor their own contract requirements and were malicious in cancelling the contracts because of an issue caused by them. Maybe the nephew who took over the business needs more experience and lessons learned. To be clear, the landscaping and lawn mowing crews were amazing.

Absolutely fantastic…read more I am so pleased at every aspect of my interaction with De Young Landscape Service. From a trouble-free estimate to scheduling to the actual work, everything was absolutely perfect. There was a problem with the job in the beginning, and when I called, the issue was resolved immediately and professionally, without a headache or argument, and the job was done quickly and in a very high quality manner. I could not be more impressed with this company and the job they do. All that, and it was also reasonably priced! I plan to recommend this company to friends and coworkers alike.

If you're looking for two hard-working guys who do excellent work with lawn care, landscaping, and power washing, hire Cody and Josh with Pure Lawn Solutions.

M n S has performed work at my house for several years, and I have found the owner Mike to be…read moreunprofessional, incompetent, argumentative, and totally lacking in accountability. Cocky would also be a perfect word. Whenever there were problems, such as when he ripped up my lawn AND my neighbor's lawn, plus my step stones and driveway with his snow plow multiple times, he acted as if it were no big deal and it took months to fix. He never did restore anything to its original condition. An M n S employee backed into my expensive aluminum fencing and again, he treated it nonchalantly and took five months to replace the damaged pieces. He was advised that the house was for sale and that time was of the essence because potential buyers would be touring the property, but he didn't care. Interesting that my sprinkler system coincidentally had about the same dollar amount as the damage in repairs that year. Both he and his drivers are careless with the property that they plow and I have watched his hourly lawn workers stand idle while watching their co-workers work; but Mike does nothing to correct the situation. While plowing last night, an M n S employee backed (slammed) into my friend's van even after he blew the horn while he was in a parking lot. The co-owner of the van, his wife, is both my employee and friend. After arriving at the scene of the accident, Mike said, "That's why we have flashing lights," and he is now blaming my friend for his employee's negligence...even though the M n S employee immediately accepted blame and admitted he didn't see him before Mike got on the scene. Mike has changed his employee's story. He has hung up on both me and the couple whose van he destroyed and refuses to provide the name of his insurance company. The wife depends on this van for work, the repairs are beyond its value and it is financially impossible for them to purchase a new vehicle. Before hanging up on me, Mike shouted that he didn't have time to deal with this...that he had clients to take care of. Click. His arrogance, business ignorance and lack of compassion are astounding. Ironically, it is my friend and employee who convinced me to keep M n S on the property every time I wanted to fire him after each incident. She is the one who had to deal with him because I refused, and she always wanted to give him another chance. I am both sadden and angered that she and her husband have been treated this way. If you use this company, be prepared to possibly have it cost you money for repairs to your property, medical expenses, and possibly litigation. The problem is that the owner has an attitude and doesn't care.

Our search for a lawn maintenance company did not stop as the weather started to warm up. I called…read moremultiple lawn companies only to discover they had minimum charges that ranged from $35 to $45 for our small front yard and our backyard that doesn't even require mowing (it's full of river rock). I was stunned. I checked Craig's List as a last resort and happened on Simon & Son Lawn Care. After looking at our yard they told me their minimum fee was $25, which was a whole lot more tolerable. I hired them immediately. Simon & Son has already finished our Spring clean up and I just called them to start mowing for the Spring/Summer season. They did an excellent job. They were careful of all my plants, yet they got all the leaves from under our deck in the backyard. They picked up all the sticks and branches that had fallen over the winter and got all the leaves from under the pine trees near the road. There are bigger lawn companies in Kalamazoo, but they charge almost twice as much to do the exact same job and they pressured me to fertilize, seed and water before I had even hired them. We are very happy to have a small, locally owned, and efficient company taking care of our lawn again.

Their rates are reasonable and Nick has been very responsive to requests for additional yardwork, like trimming our front bushes, as well as proactive, but not pushy, in offering additional services, like leaf blowing.

I would definitely recommend Simon & Son to those in the Kalamazoo area looking for a fair-priced and attentive lawn service.

He did a GREAT job at a very fair price. His quote was $50 higher than the lowest quote I got - but Ben got the job because I liked him immediately when he came to do an in-person estimate - while the lower bidder gave me an estimate based on a "satellite picture" - not in person. That factor is important to me, as it should be to others. Ben told me he could make my deck (which I last cleaned 15 years ago) look like it was brand new as well - so he power washed that about 10 days ago. He was 100% correct - because my deck now looks absolutely amazing - just like brand new. His price on the deck job was very fair as well. Trust me folks - you can't (and won't) go wrong using Ben. And your bank account will thank you as well.
