The transformation is incredible and we are so happy. They were able to come out and give us a quote within a few days and started the work within a couple of weeks. With other landscaping companies, we were not going to get in until the spring. They also worked through the weekend to offset a couple of rain delays. Akelius and his crew were incredibly easy to work with and came back with a couple of design suggestions that made the project even better. Will be recommending this company to anyone who needs landscaping services.

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.

The contracted work was performed, but several problems with the finished work remained unresolved…read more We explicitly told the crew not to remove our mulberry tree. It was removed anyway because it was mistaken for buckthorn. The company replaced it with a much smaller tree and gave us a $100 credit to plant it ourselves. We understand mistakes happen, but better communication between the owner and crew could have prevented this. The lead landscaper, Brandon, told us he "didn't bring his notes." The crushed granite patio has been an ongoing concern. The work was completed and paid for on 5/8. My husband approved it at that time. There was no weed barrier showing through the middle of the patio, though limited areas near the brick border were visible and were discussed before approval. Brandon reassured us that the granite would not shift and that we "should not have any problems with the patio for years." By 5/13, only five days later, weed barrier was showing through in multiple additional spots near the brick border that had not been exposed on 5/8. My husband texted Josh about it. These were newly exposed areas that had not been visible when the work was approved five days earlier. On 5/15, my husband called Josh again with no response. On 5/26, Josh responded to an unrelated fence quote request but did not address the granite concern, despite our saying we were willing to pay for another load of granite. On 6/7, we emailed Josh because several seeded areas had failed to establish despite being watered similarly to areas that did grow. He responded 6/8 saying he would return to reseed, but no date was scheduled. We followed up 6/15. On 6/16, he said staff planned to come that Friday because they were working nearby. It rained, and no one came. On Monday 6/22, Josh emailed that rain prevented the visit and said staff would stop by Wednesday, weather permitting. No one came. On Thursday 6/25, my husband again asked that staff also inspect the patio. On 6/29, after no response, he called again regarding both the patio and reseeding. There was no answer or response. After these repeated attempts to get the issues addressed, I posted this review on July 3rd, 2026. On 7/10, without advance notice from Josh, one of his employees arrived at our property. She did not ring the doorbell or contact us before beginning work. Fortunately, we were home and my husband spoke with her. She looked at the patio and agreed the granite was thin in areas, and said she wanted us to be happy because we had made an investment in our property. She then overseeded several areas. July 16th, Josh responded to my Google review. The granite problem remained unresolved. Within about three months of installation, multiple areas were thin enough that weed barrier was exposed. Our concern is not ordinary maintenance; it is that new exposed areas appeared within days of completion and continued to remain unresolved. On 7/13, Josh emailed that the company would no longer return to our property and referenced my negative Google review in explaining that decision. The review had been posted before his employee came on 7/10 to overseed and evaluate the patio. Several seeded areas failed to establish despite being watered similarly to areas that did grow. The company eventually returned to overseed, but we may now need to hire another contractor to evaluate and correct the remaining unresolved issues. This review reflects our experience, photographs, and documented communications. We understand weather can affect grass and loose materials. Our frustration is with the additional weed barrier becoming exposed within days of completion, repeated attempts to have concerns addressed, the length of time the issues remained unresolved, and ultimately being told in writing that the company would no longer return.

During a tree service at my home on 3/21/25, Dorshak crew knowingly operated a bucket truck with an…read moreactive hydraulic fluid leak. This is a dangerous petroleum product that causes immediate permanent asphalt damage, environmental damage, and is extremely dangerous to people and animals. This resulted in a chemical spill up and down my 280'x12' driveway, onto to the road in front of my house, as well as a constant drip from where the truck was housed to my home (statute below). This incident has left deep-set stains (permanent) and potholes that need to be professionally repaired. Initially I had it cleaned enough to keep the oil from tracking into my house and to protect people and animals. This oil will cause immediate burns if touched and can be fatal if ingested. I was on-site and called their office to report the truck was leaking oil onto my driveway. The foreman told me they put cardboard under the truck where parked to "contain the oil". They did not leave my property when reported but continued to work which increased the amount of oil spilled onto my driveway. I took pictures up and down my driveway and asked the foreman to do the same, which he did. Mr. Dorshak called me early the next morning to send a crew to "clean it up" admitting liability but failed to report the spill which by state statute is mandatory. I needed special equipment and handling or the asphalt could be totally destroyed. From the date of the incident to present, the stains and potholes are up the middle of my driveway where they had not been before, and at the time were puddled on the road which my neighbors witnessed. This is negligence/property damage and several code violations by statute. For the permanent stains and potholes to my driveway Dorshak is legally and financially obligated to return my driveway to its original condition including stains and potholes. Mr. Dorshak will admit no liability while admitting his truck was leaking hydraulic fluid on public and private land which puts him at 100% liability. To date he has not paid me for damages. He wants me to pay for the tree service in full so he can dismiss the claim. STATUTE 49CFR - In WI a leaking hydraulic truck on private property and public roads is prohibited under WI HAZARDOUS SPILLS LAW and FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER LAW which mandates that leaking vehicles cannot be safely operated or transported. As such, I would not recommend using their service.
