I cannot say enough positive things about this company's service and the hard work they're employees put into making it run like a top. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had a wonderful experience with everyone on my landscaping overhaul.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From my sales guy Mike Kyry, to the incredible 3 guys that did the work at the house, Orlando, Cristobol, & Anthony. They really went over the top on their efforts to make sure everything got done and to my needs and satisfaction. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And lastly to the lovely ladies that helped me with the payment process Paola & Emma![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a one of the most positive experiences I have ever had with hiring a professional contractor to work on my home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not to mention the end result is SOOOO much BETTER!!! I am truly enjoying being in my yard now! It was a no-brainer to go ahead with hiring them for my weekly maintenance. I just can't give enough accolades. I can only suggest you give these folks a shot with any of your lawn care & landscaping needs. You will NOT be disappointed! read more

Back on 2019 I had an irrigation system built by a landscape company in Portland. I recently needed some work on it and called them but they indicated they no longer do work in Vancouver, but when I asked if there was anyone they would recommend, they said Simple Lawns. I had a problem with two leaks in the irrigation system. You could see water getting into the valve boxes when you turned on two of my zones. My suspicion was that the water pipes coming out from the valve to the irrigation tubing had broken when I had a contractor install a pumped sewer system last fall. The trench for the sewer pipe went across the water outlet pipes from the valve boxes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called Simple Lawns to see if they could come work in fixing the leaks. They were able to schedule a visit by their irrigation expert within a few days[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I paid a deposit which was for the service call to diagnose the problem and assess how much it would cost to fix. The employee came and looked it over and was able to fix it right away. He had it fixed within an hour or two. I was surprised it was possible to fix it so quickly, and he indicated the cost would probably be just the service call fee or a little more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one slightly odd thing was I didn't get a email from the company to indicate the job was completed and that there were no additional charges.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the repairs were successful and they didn't send any additional bill, so I figured that was the situation. I was dreading trying to get those leaks fixed and I was amazed how quickly they fixed them and that it cost way less than I expected it would. read more

I am thrilled with my revitalized front yard! Simple Lawns gave my front yard the glow up I wanted and more! Roman and Roberto did such a FANTASTIC job. They worked so hard and were great about communication. They did so much in such a short amount of time. I'm truly shocked. They delivered on their promise and their work ethic is second to none. I would recommend this company and Roman and Roberto to anyone!

I'm really happy with this job from Simple Lawns, and would happily recommend them. Mike was great to work with. I called because I had dead sod and dreams of building a garden, so I asked him to tear it up (including plastic mesh) to replace with bark dust and he said "no problem". Then he looked at all the other little landscaping jobs around the property and said "we can do that" Eduardo then came out to do the work and I was blown away by how skilled and efficient he is. Check out the pics as they say it all: two days this man did twice as well what would have taken me two weeks. Now the whole place is a blank slate for me to work with. Thanks so much! read more

What a great company! My neighbor was experiencing an area in his yard that was retaining a lot of water last summer. Our fence is directly adjacent to their soggy area, so since they're downhill from me, I called around for a plumber or landscaper to come search for any leaks in my watering system. I couldn't find anyone willing to do the job until I happened upon Simple Lawns. They came out to our small town and exhaustively tested my front and back yard systems both in the ground and at the controller. Thank goodness no leak was found, but after checking my watering schedule timer, they surmised I was probably overwatering. I wish I could remember the name of the young man who was here; he was so friendly and helpful and professional. Then at a later date I phoned them for a quote on a job I needed done in my small backyard (install a gravel path to allow me handicapped access to my garden). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The gentleman I spoke to on the phone was so kind and helpful. He was ready to send someone out to do it but after speaking to me he determined that I could do better just by hiring a local handyman to do the job.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He spent a lot of time on the phone with me at no charge, patiently telling me specifically how the job should be done and what materials to use.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am so grateful for his help, and now I can get out into my yard. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At Christmas this year, Simple Lawns sent me a beautiful box of artisanal chocolates, even though they only did one job for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They are the absolute best! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We originally rated Simple Lawns as one star but after receiving a response from the owner, we're updating it to five.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since posting our review, we've spoken to the owner and voiced our issues and he was super responsive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He apologized and offered to make it right. It sounds like this doesn't happen very often (based on reviews), and every now and then things fall through the cracks which is normal for a business. We ended up getting a leveled yard and we're happy with the way things turned out. It's very impressive and refreshing to have a business admit their mistakes and offer to make things right and, ultimately, we're glad that we went with Simple Lawns. read more

Very thankful to Mike and his crew for helping us clear our weed infested backyard hillside. They worked efficiently and provided top quality service, will definitively be recommending them to our friends and family! read more

Simple Lawns Landscape Design - Backyard - Irrigation Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Updated after company response: When Oleg had asked our budget both over the phone and when he came out to look at the yard, I told him our budget was 4-5 thousand. He then made a quote for 10,000 so of course adjustments had to be made. Once the quote had been approved, we had to call the company and ask to schedule the job, to which they responded that it was already scheduled. We did not confirm a date so this was news to us. The day that the job was supposed to happen came and went with no communication. We called the company every morning for a few days to ask what time to expect employees to show up, but each day we were told that our job was rescheduled and someone was supposed to have let us know, but they didn't. Once the crew actually showed up, the weeds that we had asked to be addressed were much more significant than when we talked to the designer because so much time had passed. Regarding the dog poop, I told the employees that I could have it cleaned up and they said "don't worry it's all part of it" so I do not see why this would have been a problem. Once the job had been started, the company tried to double the price on the quote that we had already approved for the weeding portion. We declined that and ended up adding 50%. The designer then said to "not expect perfection for that price because the crew isn't happy". He immediately tried to take it back, but surely enough we were left with a much less than perfect job when the crew was done, around 9:30pm. When we called back to get the weeding taken care of further, the company said they would make it right and then add in a weed spray for our troubles. Eventually another employee came out, hand pulled maybe a small bucket of weeds, sprayed a small section of our yard, and then left after less than 30 minutes (video below from right after employee left). When we again called the company to express our concerns, we were given a discount that was less than the price of the weeding, especially after we had to add an additional 50% of the cost. Regarding the patio and polymeric sand, there was a heavy amount of sand on all the pavers and the siding of our house (pictures below). If this was caused by rain, the company should have waiting until it wasn't raining to do so. They seemed to have no problem supposedly "waiting out the rain", in June, when it was convenient for them to continue leaving our product unfinished. We understand that an employee had a family emergency and our thoughts are with that employee and his family, but personally I believe that another employee could have easily come out and finished the job. Additionally, we received no communication that there was an emergency and the job would be delayed until after we called the company when they missed the day that they said they would show up. I am beyond disappointed in the constant asking to remove my review. There has been little effort shown to make this experience better for us and a significant amount to get the review taken down. Yes, poor reviews are bad for business but bad service is even worse so the energy would be better spent fixing quality of work and communication than nagging at a customer to hide their experience. This is not even all the concerns and negative experiences that we had with the company but we are beyond tired of dealing with this. The job is finally done and we are ready to move on. I hope the company is as well. Respectfully frustrated, The Hurts read more

We just had our front yard landscaped by Simple Lawns LLC. (October 2024) Our house is in SW Portland and our front yard has a steep incline. We first worked with David, who helped choose all the plants for our yard. We are very happy with his choices. Before our yard could be planted, Ignacio and Diego had to clear out most of the existing plants and weeds. Plus they put in an irrigation system with drip lines. They did an amazing job! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Igor, our project manager was very attentive when we spoke with him.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Simple Lawns Landscape Design - Our front yard, just landscaped. October 1,2024 - Irrigation Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Ever since we moved in, we've had terrible flooding problems in our backyard. The builder tried a bunch of things, but they were ultimately bandaids and didn't address the root issue. My wife and I decided we needed help and reached out to 3 companies. Each had different ideas to combat the problem, David @ Simple Lawns really sounded like he understood the problem and came up with some great ideas. We agreed on a design and start date and off they went. Igor and his team were amazing and knocked out the project in 2.5 weeks. We were able to discuss slight variations on the fly and even after the final walkthrough, they made sure that every concern, question and request was handled perfectly. We're so happy not to have to use a canoe to get around our backyard anymore. read more

We are extremely satisfied with the work Simple Lawns did on our backyard remodel. From the initial landscaping design to the final touches, David and his team showcased their expertise and knowledge every step of the way.

Now, as we enjoy our beautiful yard, we are deeply grateful. Thank you, David, Oleg, Hector, and the entire crew for transforming our space so wonderfully. We will definitely recommend Simple Lawns and look forward to working with them again in the future. read more

Update: Vitaly (owner) came by and apologized for the problems and promised to fix them. He acknowledged the issues should never have happened and quickly sent our crews to clean up the back yard and the low voltage electrical, added a light to fill in the gap in the front and put a fake rock over the exposed electrical for the septic pump. He also provided free maintenance for a month and everything looks great. I appreciate Vitaly coming and rectifying the problems! read more

Did a great job on our lawn. They were fast to come quote and complete the work. Professional and provided a competitive quote. Got all the work done in one day (remove bark and install rock). They started later in the morning than expected and we had to reach out to know where they were at but smooth sailing after they repaired their truck. Would recommend! read more

Great experience! From the first call to later meeting Vitaly and Oleg the designer I was pleased. Great company culture. Quality work and overall pleased read more

Excellent job, Great service, went above and beyond. I will hire again for any future work.

Initially, we chose Simple Lawns based on their excellent reviews. When we met the owner to describe what we wanted we felt he really listened and made clear how he would go about the project. Once the bid came in it was on par with others we had received from other contractors. As the work progressed we were pleased with the quality and care that the crew put into every phase of the project. We had a few changes along the way and they handled them superbly. The project manager checked in often and took time to answer questions and convey timelines and responded to each and every request we had. When it was finished we ended up with a gorgeous paver stone patio, amazing water feature and high qualify fence. We can't say enough about the integrity and professionalism of Simple Lawns and their team. We highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again in the future. read more

What can I say? These people did not honor the 1-yr warranty that I paid additional for. They are also one of the most expensive lawn care services in the area. The people who come to your home and perform the lawn care services are very hard workers and very reliable. The people in the office and management? Not so much. Incredibly disappointing. Comment from owner (Vitaly) says that additional warranty was at no additional charge, which is absolutely not true - I was given 2 options: one included plant warranty for additional cost, one did not. Comment from owner (Vitaly) says that they came out and looked at the plants and they did do that. I still have the dead plants installed - have not yet replaced them - still no leaves, still dead. It seems they wanted to leave the plants there, denying they were dead, until after the warranty expired. They were successful. I did not receive any replacements because they insisted that the vine maple with dry, grey branches (no internal green) and absolutely no leaves was not dead. read more

The estimator that came out to check out the yard asked pertinent questions to ensure the system would be set up how we wanted it. He sent us the bid in a quick timeframe. The crew that came for the job were hard working and did a wonderful job on the system and the cleanup afterwards. The system is working great! read more

We reached out to Simple Lawns at the end of August to help us finish the landscaping project that we started with another landscaping company we had had a terrible experience with. David came to us on August 31st. For over an hour we walked around our property, discussing what we could do and listening to David's evaluation of how horrible our landscaper's job was and how we should have hired Simple Lawns in the first place. At the end of the meeting, follow-up he promised to come back to us with a design and a quote within 2 weeks. I also reached out to him the same day with a follow up question that was ignored. After two weeks I followed up since I hadn't heard from him since our meeting. He said he would give a quote that week. It didn't happen. I reached out again in a week. He said he'd send the quote by the end of the week and they would start working on our project in 2 weeks. In a week I had to follow up again asking about the estimate since there was complete silence on their end. He ghosted my last message and we never heard from Simple Lawns again. With such "amazing" communication and all the promises that were never delivered, we are glad we didn't hire Simple Lawns in the first place and we definitely wouldn't recommend them to anybody. UPDATE: Even though no amount of apologies makes a bad experience better, I still wanted to comment on Simple Lawns' response. Soon after the review was posted I got a call from David Aspidov (the estimator) and he apologized for "dropping the ball" on our situation. A little bit later we saw the public response and we also received a 2-page handwritten letter from Vitaliy Aspidov (the owner and CEO) with apologies and acknowledgment that David's behavior was unprofessional. The explanation behind David's actions was that he got overwhelmed and forgot to send us an estimate. I don't think it's very easy to forget about a client after 4 consecutive reminders within one month. Moreover, we gave him access to the server with inspirational photos of other landscapes that he could use to come up with a proposal that would suit our requirements for modern low maintenance landscaping. After the appointment, David hadn't accessed the link for 3 weeks. And even if the reason behind ghosting your client is forgetfulness due to being overwhelmed, I can only imagine how many clients he dropped the ball on that just didn't write a negative review because of that. Anyway, I must say that the apology from the owner was indeed an extra mile that very few people would go. That just tells that he cares very much about his company and his reputation. I hope that this "learning opportunity" will be positive for them in the end and help them improve their quality of service and teach them to not drop the ball on their clients in the future. read more

Latest Update: David's team came on Saturday and completed the job for us! Our irrigation system is working amazingly, the guys who came out worked hard and did an awesome job with the lawn renovation. They even went above and beyond by taking out some grass near the house and making way for new garden beds to go. I am so excited to see the grass start to grow over the next few weeks! Thank you for coming through for us Simple Lawns. I will update with pictures in the next few weeks. UPDATE: David reached out and explained about the mistake he made with filing my paperwork, as well as not wanting to respond on weekends (which I totally understand). He has scheduled his crew to come out in the next week and do what he said...I appreciate him so much making it right. I will further update my review as soon as they follow through. Original Post: I had such high hopes for this company as the reviews were absolutely awesome. I first contacted them, along with several other companies, in early March to see about them giving me an estimate for a lawn renovation of my front and back yard and replacing the controller for my irrigation system. David responded quickly and made an appointment to come out and meet with me. He ended up being there about 30/40 minutes early and tried calling, but I was still at work at that time. He walked around and looked by himself, then called me to let me know through voicemail that he would get the estimate to me based on what he had seen. I was there at the scheduled time, but he had already left so I didn't get to ask him the specific questions I wanted. When I brought that up, he said that he would be happy to come back out and chat with me in a week's time because he was going on vacation. I was happy to wait since everyone deserves a vacation, but a week and a half went by and I still hadn't heard from him. I reached out and we eventually met up at my house and went over everything I wanted. He explained how the lawn renovation worked with great detail and answered all my questions, making sure that I knew that it was not a guarantee that the renovation would work. He also explained that if that didn't work, he and his crew could take out the lawn and put sod down. I wanted to try the lawn renovation first, but I appreciated the offer of sod and knowing that it was an option if the renovation didn't work. He then said that he would go ahead and schedule me for the irrigation repair since we should get it done before starting on the lawn. I agreed and he said that he could get someone out the second to last week of April or at latest the last week of April. I was completely fine with that and asked him to get me the estimate for everything else so I could get it approved to get on the schedule. He said he would get it to me that Friday and be in contact within a few weeks to schedule. After contacting him multiple times for the estimate (through text and finally email with the owner), he finally sent it to me on April 11. I looked it over, and approved parts of it the same day...but it had an estimate for sod, which was not something my husband and I wanted at that point. I responded to the email letting him know that we wanted to go forward with the lawn renovation but not the sod. I requested that he put us on the schedule so that we can get moving on our lawn. It has now been a full month and 7 days since I have heard from him. He never reached out about getting me scheduled for irrigation, never sent a crew to start spraying for weeds and moss like he said, and never responded to my email about the estimate. I tried texting him last week asking for an update, but he still has not responded to that. He seemed very nice and I was excited to work with him and this company to make my lawn look like it used to (before the irrigation system broke and moss/weeds took over). I am still waiting as I know this is an extremely busy time of year for lawn companies....but over a month with no communication and no response to my email/texts is very disappointing. It is especially disappointing since I told other companies "no" back in March to work with Simple Lawns...and now those companies are completely booked and do not have time to do anything with my lawn until late July/early August which will be too late in the year. read more

I recently hired Simple Lawns to do a much needed cleanup of my very neglected back yard. Vitaly came out, we talked about what I wanted done and he gave me a very reasonable quote. Within a few weeks, they sent a crew out and they must have spent at least 6 hours working on it. When I got home, I was blown away at how good of a job they did! In fact, they even cleaned up my front yard, even though the quote was only for the backyard. I can wholeheartedly recommend Simple Lawns for yard care. I think they get pretty busy, but definitely worth the wait, and the price is reasonable for the quality. read more

We built our house a few years ago and were in need of landscaping. I was hesitant to hire Simple Lawns because the project we had in mind was not a simple one and I thought they were more focused on maintenance. However, when I met with the estimator I was surprised by his professionalism and knowledge. We were requesting a patio, walkway, water feature and lots of plants, he did a good job of explaining what would work good for our property and what wouldn't. I went ahead and hired them and I am so happy I did. They were very easy to work with. They didn't only meet my standards, they exceeded them. It looked better than I could have imagined. The price was very reasonable as well. Since then they have been doing our maintenance and I never have to worry about my yard because they take care of everything. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of landscaping or maintenance. The owner is very honest and great to work with, It's hard to find honest contractors these days so I was very pleased to work with him. read more
