    I have a second home in Vancouver, Wa. The "Daniels" did a fabulous job trimming, cleaning out weeds and debris, trimming a tree, planting a tree and finishing with mulch. They also added to our drip system and made the entire front yard look amazing. Thank you!

    Daniel V Landscaping made our dreams come true with a beautiful retaining wall that looks great from the street. They are extremely talented and professional. We will be using their services again! Thank you!

    Project 5: Another 5-star project from Daniel V. Landscaping. We have lived with the saddest back yard since we purchased our home. This year we were finally able to focus on updating it and Daniel V was right there with us every step of the way. In one day they installed the new sprinkler system and beautiful sod (that feels like a carpet underfoot), then, came back to do the plantings, drip lines, and finishing touches. The transformation is amazing and it made our tiny suburban back yard look bigger. So much fun working with these guys....they make your ideas a reality.

    New 4-in edging I had put around the fence still has buckles and gaps

    "Do not let the high rating or social media videos fool you. I paid $750 for a sloppy, rushed job that I had to supervise myself. Despite claiming years of experience, Daniel showed a complete lack of basic horticultural knowledge. I had to stay outside for 6 hours (9 AM - 3 PM) because he didn't seem to understand simple plant logic--like the proper '4 and 4' spacing (4 inches of soil and 4 inches of mulch) to prevent plant rot. Major Failures: * Logistical Oversight: The crew arrived without a wheelbarrow. After an initial disagreement, Daniel acknowledged it had been requested, but they were forced to improvise using a trash can and my personal buckets. This lack of proper equipment led to an inefficient process and unbalanced soil use. * The 'Extra Time' Dispute: I paid a premium for a 4-hour job, but it took 6 hours because I had to constantly correct the work. Daniel claimed the extra time was my fault for insisting on correct measurements, and he suggested I should be 'happy' he didn't charge me for those extra hours or a trip fee to get more soil. In reality, the soil shortage and the delays were caused by his own lack of preparation and proper tools. * Poor Execution: The results are unprofessional. As my photos show, the 4-inch edging is wavy and buckled with gaps, the plant spacing is lopsided, and the dirt circles are inconsistent. * Final Impression: Daniel left before a final walkthrough was finished. It is unacceptable to blame a customer for the time it takes to supervise a 'professional' who arrives under-equipped. I was prepared to give this business a glowing referral, but the lack of skill and preparation makes that impossible. Save your money and find a service that takes pride in their work." Thank you for your response. I'd like to clarify a few points so future customers have an accurate understanding of my experience. I selected your business based on the quality of work shown in your reviews and project examples, and I paid a premium rate expecting a similar level of professionalism. The scope of my project--planting small shrubs and grasses, applying mulch, and minor leveling--was straightforward compared to the larger installations you advertise. The job was discussed and priced as a 4-hour service, but it ultimately took approximately 6 hours with a three-person crew. My concern is not the additional time, but that even with the extended time, several agreed-upon elements were still not completed to a consistent or satisfactory standard. Throughout the process, I made an effort to be flexible. When additional items came up, I framed them as "if time allows," and I remained available because I was asked to be present for clarification. However, I found myself needing to repeatedly restate basic instructions--such as consistent plant spacing and proper soil and mulch depth--because those details were not being followed consistently. For that reason, I do not agree that the additional time was caused by my involvement. My presence was a direct result of needing to ensure the work met the agreed-upon expectations, not the cause of the delays. Prior to the job, I also communicated a change regarding the rubber mulch, as it could not be prepared for adhesive. I asked that it simply be leveled, similar to the river rock, which you agreed to. However, neither the mulch nor the rock leveling was completed, and I was ultimately told there was no time due to the job running over. There were also preventable inefficiencies. Arriving without requested equipment required improvising with my personal items, and the need for additional soil could likely have been avoided with better preparation and handling. Toward the end of the job, the work appeared rushed, and a proper final walkthrough was not completed before departure, despite my attempt to address remaining concerns. After the job, I reached out directly to express that while I appreciated the effort, I was disappointed in the overall finish and the rushed elements that were not completed as expected. The response I received focused primarily on the time spent exceeding four hours, rather than addressing the quality concerns raised. My review reflects these specific concerns: lack of preparation, inconsistent execution, and the need for ongoing supervision to meet basic expectations. I would have preferred a more professional response focused on addressing the concerns raised rather than assigning blame, as that is ultimately what future customers rely on when evaluating a business.

    Simple Lawns Landscape Design

    Back on 2019 I had an irrigation system built by a landscape company in Portland. I recently…read moreneeded 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

    They wanted to do way more that I asked for I asked for a simp, too small gardens to be weeded, I…read moreget back a reply that I needed more done than I said, well, you know what? I wanted what I wanted, and they insisted on doing something more than what I wanted. So that's why the one star review. The people were perfectly wonderful. This is probably a nice service and all that, but they 're insisting that I need something done more. When I ask for something specific, and they won't do what I asked. They insist on doing the higher price job. So, that's not good service. Not for someone on a fixed income.

Tom has wonderful design ideas, and his teams are great to work with, including always leaving a clear worksite, and keeping me informed on next steps! You will love working with them!

Also was having a vinyl chain link fence to divide yard installed by them. Started on time, workers did the brickwork and turf well. Great employees. Then Tom showed up saying "my fence guy wants to do a wood/wire fence instead...he says it will still match your existing fence." I asked about price adjustment, he said it was more expensive but he wouldn't charge anything. This was a horrible decision. Fence looks like a middle school project. It took me a month to finally get Tom (owner) to come out. Stain was not complete, rough cuts were left as-is, latch didn't latch. When he finally came out, he had a ton of excuses. He "fixed" the latch by inserting a piece of wire to jimmy the latch. Told my wife that "the stain just looks different in the sun and it's completely stained (it's not). Told her the rough cuts and ripped/frayed edges were normal (I was out of town). I asked him to come back when I was home, it took almost two weeks to get him back. He told me the same, when I confronted him about the wire piece "fix" he said "not me". Said rough cuts/frays "can be filed but will change the look of the fence". I told him I wanted the fence re-stained and to have his office contact me with a date so I could be home. That was 2 months ago. I'm simply chalking it up to "shame on me for this choice" and doing the fix myself.
