Shout out to Hasheem ( i think thats how it spelled) guy works hard and produces work (and my project was not small). Overall conoany is great and experience was great. read more

Van's Landscape just completed a beautiful makeover of my yard that completely transformed it from weeds to a beautifully designed landscape. I went from having the ugliest yard on the block to having a yard that people slow down and look at as they go by. Kris Vanderschuit and his small crew worked to remove unwanted trees down to their roots, a backbreaking job. They set up forms to create a patio as well as stairs leading to the front door with lighted columns on either side. They had a beautiful pergola installed over the new front patio and created an area for me to have a fountain placed near the front windows. They planted trees and bushes that were bigger than I thought they would be, but still had plenty of room to grow. (In fact, the Agapanthus is blooming already.) They put in a sprinkler/drip system as needed and added beautiful lighting to the front yard. They did an outstanding job. read more

Kris and his team were absolutely amazing. Out of 4 contractors that provided us bids he was the most professional and showed up to our home several times before we even decided on a contractor. We definitely chose the right contractor for the job, our yard looks outstanding!!! We could not be happier. Their team were onsite every workday until the project was completed. I will surely be using Vans Landscape again and will let family and friends know how well of a project they ran!! read more

Several years ago, we hired Kris and his team to transform our tired and worn out front yard into a landscaping masterpiece! Over the years, there is barely a week that goes by that someone stops their car and admires our yard and sometimes even will verbally comment on the beauty of our property thanks to Kris and his crew. We hope to have Kris revamp our backyard in the near future. read more

We give Van's Landscape five stars because of Kris's (the owner) artistic ability, the great care and precision of his employees, the quality of work, and how pleased we were with the beautiful end result, which speaks for itself in our photos. Kris worked with us from design concept to installation, though we were far away, out of state. He and his office were pleasant and accommodating. Once the job was begun, Kris and his workmen stayed with it until it was completed, which we really appreciated. Kris's company and workers are skilled in all the aspects of landscaping we wanted--concrete, lighting, gas fire pit, garden boxes, and hard and soft-scape. As with all construction jobs we would recommend paying close attention so that plans are done as you agreed and contract details and expenses are tracked because the workers are interpreting what is on paper. Jose and Abundio (Kris's employees) are amazing for their work ethic, precision, and communication. Jose (the lead) answered all our questions and was very pleasant to work with. read more

Van's Landscape Contruction, I had concrete work done, patio cover, irrigation, landscaping, lighting. Kris is a master, the work was superior, he has excellent knowledge, in all of these fields. Well worth the quote and final bill. I am so happy with the final results and so happy with my choice of Van's Contruction, I have and will continue to recommend, this quality work. Darlene Menifee CA On a side note, my father was a horticulturist, and my mate is landscaper., he commented all through the process that Van's Construction knows his stuff! read more

There are landscapers who are fly by night, and then there are professional landscapers who have the skill, experience and expertise to do the job right. Kris and his small but hard working crew fit into the later category. From the moment we had him come for a site visit and estimate, everything was handled with integrity and professionalism. Having only a few ideas on my mind, I relied on Kris' vast experience in botany and landscape design to put together a beautiful plan for our back and side yard while consulting with me along the way regarding preferences- and I was not disappointed. Our yard went from ugly dirt to a beautiful in about six weeks. A few particular items to note: He completed the project in the time window promised (among some very hot days); his crew was respectful of our home, worked hard and spoke English; he was always open to answer questions; he was he allowed for some work order changes in the middle of the project allowing us to install more outdoor lighting and more trees to the front; he was onsite every day to oversee the work of his crew; he gave us a 90-day guarantee on all the plants and trees; he tied in all of the landscaping with our existing drip irrigation system and programmed the unit; he was always up front on his pricing and the added costs for additional items; lastly--he went beyond the call of duty in returning after the project was complete to add some more mulch and help finish a few address some minor items. Granted, this project was not done inexpensively, but our backyard is now a beautiful space with curved patio lines, high quality astroturf, an attractive retaining wall, an elevated fire pit and beautiful planters with fruit trees, palms, grasses, and flowering plants that are well adapted to our soil and water conditions. It has that "wow" factor and has certainly increased the value of our home. I am more than pleased with Kris' work, and would give him an unqualified recommendation to others. read more

I've asked these people to come out to my house for both my back yard and front yard. Three years ago, they were working in my area and I liked what I saw when they were done with my neighbors house. I asked them to give me a quote to do my back yard. This dragged on for about a month and half of asking when they would show up. They never showed. Here we are three years later and asking them come check out my front yard. Giving them the benefit of doubt because maybe they were slammed at the time. (Not an excuse to pick up the phone and say you're too busy). I've been asking for over two months now and here we go again. So, fool me twice, shame on me. I've seen their work, it's nice, but it's not worth the headache of waiting around and pushing back my project because of their terrible communication. read more

We contracted Van's Landscape for hardscape, concrete work - driveway expansion, side yard walkway, backyard patio; patio cover, gutters and downspouts. From the moment we made contact with Kris, he was extremely professional, friendly, and imaginative with the concept we were looking for. All of his team and subcontractors are hardworking, clean and respectful of our property. I appreciate the detail and care they all took with our project and were extremely satisfied with the outcome!! Would highly recommend and hire again! read more

Exceptional work daily from start to finish. These guys are simply amazing! We were new construction so we needed full landscape for our front and backyard. Kris came out heard our thoughts and ideas and created a plan that surpassed anything we imagined. From the time the job started until it was finished his guys were on site and ready to work. Might I say they were awesome as well! The attention to detail was on point. Kris used quality materials and did not try to shortchange us with low value plants and materials. Every plant, tree, stone was selected with care. We took value in knowing that he cared about what he was using more than his bottom line. Van's completely transformed our dirt into a dream. He was even able to have gutters installed to feed into our new drainage system. From the garden boxes, waterfall fountain to fire pit it can be done with Van's. I could go on and on but just know you won't be disappointed! read more

Did a great job on our patio and drainage!!! Really great to work with him and all of his guys. He always showed up on time and did quality work. He made design suggestions!!! read more

Loved our experience with Van's Landscape. The design was amazing and well thought through. No corners were cut and each day our yard was cleaned up as it was their own house. We couldn't love our yard more and are absolutely happy we used Van's. Very knowledgeable and answered every question we had. Thank you!! read more

The owner, Kris met with us and was an absolute delight. His experience was clear from the beginning, he worked with us to create a customized design for our backyard so that we could finally blow away our block for our turn hosting the big 4th of July BBQ. The concrete came out beautifully, the waterfall is so relaxing, we can't thank him enough! We will be recommending Van's Landscape Construction to everyone who asks. Couldn't be happier. read more

You know how the contractors on HGTV have a detailed discussion with the homeowners and then create a specific plan with artistic renderings? You know how in real life a dude hops out of his truck with a measuring wheel and says, "we can do some concrete, some plants, it'll look nice, um...this much money," and doesn't even write anything down? Van's is more similar to what you see on TV. Kris and his team are true professionals. During the estimate phase, Kris had a real discussion with us about our overall vision for the landscape and design elements we like/dislike. After a week or so, he presented a custom proposal that was drawn to scale, including the exact placement and name of each plant. He gave us a realistic timeframe for when he'd be able to start working on our project. Once Kris and his team started work, they came every morning and worked into the afternoon everyday (except Sunday) until the project was finished. I really appreciated that they weren't juggling multiple jobs, disappearing for several days, as some do. We're very happy with the finished product. Kris has an artistic ability that really brought the design to life, and his team's skill is evident in the quality of the work. read more

What can I say. It has been a great joy to work with Kris and his team. Kris did an outstanding job with our landscaping. We gave him a general concept on what we wanted but he was awesome on helping us in filling the gaps of the design. Me and my wife are extremely happy on how our landscaping turned out. We are always getting compliments from our neighbors. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Van's Landscape, they are professional and their estimates are reasonable. Thanks Kris and team! read more

Having recently purchased a new home in Southwest Hemet, I wanted a rear yard that was low maintenance, drought tolerant and ascetically pleasing. Kris came to our home, listened to our needs and concerns, and then came up with a detailed design that addressed 100% of our needs at an affordable price. The end product was completed in a reasonable amount of time and is both beautiful and functional. I couldn't be more pleased. read more

Van's Landscape Construction - Landscaping Near Me

I don't normally post reviews because I don't feel a strong need to. That doesn't make my account "fake". However, if a customer doesn't get a response after trying to contact you multiple times, then that is just not a good business practice. It is fine you don't want the job. In regards to your measurements, you told us you would do it based off Google Maps. I did not see any actual measurements made nor did I get any response since talking to your wife. I'm not trying to bash your company, but I will warn others of my experience. Thank you for responding after I made things public. read more

We called several landscape contractors to give us estimates and chose to work with Kris of Van's. We are so glad we did. He and his crew, including his wife Denise, did an excellent job of keeping us informed and answering all of our questions (via calls/emails) very quickly along the way. We had Kris design a beautiful landscape for our front and back yard and it looks amazing. We trusted his experience. The result was WAY better than we had hoped for. The concrete details are wonderful and our new patio cover is going to help us enjoy the hot summer days. Kris picked out and placed each plant individually, you can really tell he cares about the work he does. So many details go into making a landscape that we where unaware of, drains, grading soil preparation, lighting etc......so happy with the final product! We highly recommend Van's Landscape construction!! They are not the cheapest but we have learned that you definitely get what you pay for and our home is a huge investment. We wanted the best contractor and that's just what we got. read more

This guy is great! I wouldn't think twice about referring friends and family to him. He knows what he is talking about and he is the best in his class. I had him put in some queen palms and he did some concrete work as well. Vans can do it all! read more

I have always wanted a ZEN garden and Van's landscaping did not disappoint. I have a dry river in the front yard with beautiful shrubs , plants and rock formations. There is a waterfalls built in the backyard and a ZEN garden where it is perfect for meditation. The plants ,trees and shrubs are are coordinated and goes well with each other. Van's landscaping is highly recommended. read more

Just moved to Hemet and needed our backyard done. The previous owner kept the property immaculate, but never did anything with the backyard. After the rainy season ended, our backyard was weeds and I found Van's Landscape on the internet. After calling a couple of places it was clear that Kris, the owner, was the best choice. It took a month to complete and it came out beautiful. Tons of concrete, artificial turf, rock scape, plants, lighting, drainage, irrigation, horseshoe pit, and now I have a beautiful very low maintenance backyard. Highly recommend Van's Landscape Construction! read more

Kris and his team recently landscaped our backyard and did an incredible job! Our yard was nothing but dirt and they have turned it into a beautiful additional living space for us. The design is beautiful and our kids love to play around in the yard. We are super happy and recommend Van's Landscape Construction to anyone looking to get landscape work done! read more

Great landscaper and was helpful with laying out a design that worked with our budget and aesthetic we were going for.

Kris and Denise, who own Vans, are awesome!!! They are the standard when it comes to landscaping. They are family owned business and treat you like their own family. Kris has fantastic ideas and his years doing this work are priceless. Their prices are GREAT and their quality is SECOND TO NONE! If you want the best of the best You Need to Have Vans as Your Landscaping Experts! Their work is like something you'd see in La Jolla or Palm Dessert. read more

Kris did a wonderful job with our backyard. It has become everything we dreamed of! We love just sitting outside and enjoying the views of our beautiful yard and have received so many compliments on our patio! I would recommend Kris without any hesitation. He's been there when we had any questions and listened to all our concerns and desires along the way! read more

Got the bid reasonably quick but once I got the approval I could NOT get a hold of him to start the job. Had to find someone else that would accept the price he gave me so I could get the work completed. read more

I'm giving them one star for the following reason. I called and asked about a quote, I was told that the husband would look at my property and call me back. I received a phone call letting me know that he had looked at my property on line, asking me what I was looking for and then he said he would draw up a plan and he would have a quote for me in a week. Before we hung up he asked me what my budget is, I said I'm a single mother not looking to spend too much but would like something nice done. He said ok call you in a week. That was the end of June. Today is July 13, I have called left messages and still have not heard from them. If he doesn't want to work with me, common. Courtesy would be to call me and sat that they don't want to do business with me. I didn't want to give a $$$$$ figure because I wanted to see what he can do and for how much first. I gave myself a budget of $2500 but I didn't want to say that cause I don't want to be taken advantage of either. I think is very unprofessional to not answer my calls or messages. To not tell me you don't want to work with me, believe me if that's the case I'll be good with that. There's other landscaping places. So the reason for my review is that, just common courtesy. Call people back like you said you would. read more

A job well done! Professional both in the planning and execution. The work is quality. You'll enjoy interacting with the owner, Kris. We are very pleased with our new patios in the front yard and back. read more

Posting on behalf of my parents that live in Hemet. Kris Vanderschuif didn't complete the work he was contacted to do and his crew created and left a bunch of leaks in the drip system. After spending over $7,000.00 you'd think he'd at the very least return phone calls, finish the job and fix the leaks. We chose Van's based on a reference, but if you're a senior, I'd recommend choosing a different contractor so he doesn't take advantage of you too. read more

Kris creates extraordinary landscapes. Using his considerable knowledge and expertise, his designs fully take into account the climate, the site and architecture of the home. Yes, he is attentive, reliable and trustworthy. Yes, he is informative, reasonable and supportive. And just when you think he can't outdo himself he does. Yet, it is the fact that his exceptional work throughout my community has made it a far lovelier and beautiful place to live that alone would make me recommend him. But, really, it is just that when I step out my door his work takes my breathe away! read more

Hired above company to do our backyard landscaping. They started work before our plans were approved with the HOA. Owner told us he knew how things worked in the area, that being the reason for the early start. Installation went ok, once completed we noticed that there was moisture around the edge of the house where the DG had been laid over plastic. Upon speaking with the owner he stated there must be a water leak, he would come by and check it out. Never showed. My husband saw him again weeks later and he stated that the water was not his problem. My husband questioned him about the use of plastic since we had found out it was prohibited via the HOA. (Plastic does not allow for evaporation of water as well as ground odors.) At that point he stated he knew that had changed about a year ago but was using it anyway. He again stated he would come by and check it out. Never showed again. We realized that he was not interested in making things right with us in any way. There was no guarantee on work done at all and being lied to twice was not ethical as far as we are concerned. read more
