In all fairness, I waited a while to see how things would settle, but my opinion hasn't changed: this is a horrible company that did more damage than good. They were supposed to trim a laurel hedge, but decided to only trim it as far up as they could reach without bothering to do the upper couple of feet. It is a horrible mess. They were supposed to re-gravel the driveway, but, brought such a fine-grade gravel that it was more dust than stones. I spoke about that and Sam Hill, the owner, said "It'll be fine once it rains." NO it's not. Most of the "gravel" blew away. It's a lumpy mess. I had also specified that I wanted the gravel to go all the way out to the edges of the current drive. I even said "I want it wide." Wasn't done. I complained and Sam said, "It looks like a nice, strip up the middle." He said if I wanted it out to the edges, he could write up another bid!!!! I had gone out the day before and weeded and made the edges of the drive very clear. These lazy people didn't even bother to move a trash can that was at the side: they just left it un-graveled. They didn't spread gravel over the entire area that is the turn-around either. You can see where they just put their gravel around in patches when they thought they could get away with leaving the old gravel. They cut a 50-year old lilac down to the ground for no reason at all. Apparently, Sam's parents own a nursery, so he "made it right" by putting 2 inch tall cuttings in its place. I objected because lilacs are very slow growing. Sam said "Oh, no...they grow really fast." NOT TRUE. I then went to a nursery and picked out a 4 foot tall lilac that would still not make up for the towering one that had been destroyed, but would be better than cuttings. Sam said he'd go get it. Well, he must have gone back to mom and dad again. They planted a one foot tall weakling that is now dead. I wanted them to plant something to mask my neighbors fence from view. I said something flowering, like a dogwood or cherry. I expected someone who calls himself a landscaper to know plants; to know what would grow in the space indicated. I babied that tree for months, but...it's now dead, too. So, thousands of dollars went for damage and ignorance and laziness and refusal to repair what they ruined. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE. read more

Absolutely amazing. Samuel is great, and the entire crew did an amazing job. They installed a driveway (pavers), a flagstone patio and walkway, fencing, and a wide selection of plants. I was impressed with the workmanship, the professionalism, and the end result. read more

I called for an estimate, Premium responded quickly and answered all of my questions. Unfortunately, I was out of Premium's service area.

My project was huge in my opinion. It included a total makeover, clean up of years of neglect and debris, transforming existing plants and landscape, adding a yard, and so much more. Samuel and his team were professional, timely, hard working and did a fantastic job making over my entire property. Removal of old and bringing in new brought the property back to life and I love pulling into the driveway every time now! Value for the project was great, the process of completing a bid, getting it scheduled and doing the work was seamless and hassle free and Samuel worked with my schedule to get the job completed. We are looking at using them again for an additional landscape project and they now take care of my property on a monthly basis as well. Couldn't be happier with the service and commitment to providing great service. read more

Samuel and team are excellent at what they do. Our job went smoothly and we're happy with the results. Highly recommended.

Working with Samual and his team was a breeze. We had a real challenge: start from scratch, landscaping for a new build, with serious water issues--foot of mud and rivers of water after a 6 1/2 inch rain dropped over two days. Not part of the original landscaping, we needed to add extensive French drains, river rock in so many places, yet looking natural and beautiful. Samual was knowledgeable on plants, trees, soil, and water, and has a great eye for design. he was very collaborative as well - we picked out boulders together at a quarry in Rainier, discussed numerous trees, bushes, and grasses. His team was efficient, friendly, and worked well together. We love the results and would highly recommend Samual and his team. read more

Premium Landscape Services has done several jobs for us, big and small, and each time we were impressed with the quality of their work and the professionalism of their crew. Absolutely recommend. read more

We are very happy to have found Premium Landscaping Services. Samuel and all his workers are knowledgeable, energetic, reliable, eager to please, and very easy to work with. We had our front yard gardens cleaned up, some plants taken out, bushes trimmed and new beauty bark spread; our lawn was dethatched, new dirt spread and seeded; we needed an extra parking space which they did by cutting out an area of lawn replacing it with 5/8" minus rock to create. Plus, they moved and added irrigation sprinkler heads. Thank you for all your hard work for us. We are very happy customers and look forward to seeing you again. read more

The owner, Samuel is excellent to work with. He listened to our landscaping ideas. He provided a written proposal in a timely manner. Other landscape contractors who came out didn't even bother to provide an estimate. His crew were here five days efficiently removing weedy sod and transforming into the beautiful rockscape concept. They cleaned up each day. It was pleasing to work with a reputable contractor. R. McLaughlin read more

Well it's been almost 6 weeks since Sam Hill and his crew had spent the day remaking our front yard. All looks great! My husband & I recently purchased a home that had a yard in need of some care. Sam recommended planting some 50 shrubs, carex & grasses including mulching. Our lawn was about 2/3 clover and so it was thrashed, seeded & top dressed. My husband was diligent watering. Initially watering twice a day. And lo and behold we have a great carpet of grass! We have a heavily treed area that was cleaned out & looks much better. And our front area next to the street & mailbox was mulched & planted with a layer of gravel applied up to street. Am thinking the neighbors are happy with the yard renovation; we have received so many compliments. Sam & the crew were very professional and hard working. We had to wait 3 months to get the work done after the quote but it was worth the wait! read more

The crew worked really hard and did a terrific job. I appreciated Samuel's creative flair in choosing plants, and his flexibility with accommodating my Home Owners Assn. requirements. My dry creek bed looks great, and I can't wait to watch my new plants grow up! read more

We've been updating our house and had asked for a quote a long time ago. I remember how polite and genuine Samuel was, so I emailed again to do the work after we made some other fixes to the home. He came back out, discussed the work, and was patient with me as I sent many emails revising the work. They just came out and did the work this week and they did an amazing job! Our yard looks better than when we bought the house. I will definitely keep them in mind when we make more updates to our yard! read more

We have 7 Rhododendrons that were grossly over grown. Seeing out our living room windows was a problem. Based on YELP reviews, I searched for landscapers / pruners. Premium Landscape Services was one of the two highest rated, I called both. Samuel (the owner) called back within minutes of my call. He was on my side of town, en route to another appointment, and stopped by that afternoon. I described the job and what we wanted done. Samuel gave me advice and opinion about the over grown rhodies so I knew what to expect from the pruning. Sadly, the over grown nature of the plants would not yield a great looking plant in the short term. But pruning would put them on the road to a better size and better health in the long term. A few days later he called to schedule for the next day. Samuel and his new employee showed up on time (his business is growing to the point that he can now hire a full time employee). Within a few hours, all 7 plants were pruned and reduced in size. What impressed me was that the outside of the plants were left pretty full so, from the street, it looked like we had full plants, not harsh bare branches I've seen on other like rhodie prunings. They did a great job on clean up and removal of the prunings too. There was hardly a twig or leaf left on the ground for me to blow down. This is a young and growing business. I like Samuel's work ethic and honesty. What was promised was delivered. By the way, a month later I am still waiting for the other Yelp highly rated landscaper to return my call. read more

Samuel Hill and Premium Landscaping Services provided excellent consultation and advice to help us with a landscaping project for our home. Samuel is the consummate professional and he demonstrated the highest degree of integrity and knowledge with landscape services. We seek to be good stewards of our land and to have our home "fit" into the natural landscape. Samuel revised our goals and helped us to modify and make adjustments so that end result would be a better design for the slope of the land while keeping in mind the aesthetics of plant growth. We appreciate knowing that we can turn to Samuel again for any future landscape projects - and we highly recommend his business to customers/clients looking for the optimal services. read more

This has been our second round with Premium Landscape Services. Both times my husband & I have been very pleased with the quality of their work and ethic. Samuel Hill the owner is a hands-on owner and his crew is very professional. Bill the crew chief is very knowledgeable and personable. The crew is a diligent team. This last go around we had a lot of cosmetic work done as planting trees, installing a beautiful pathway, graveling our rather large dog rum area, creating a new bed for planting ect.. All turned out great. Bill even mowed our lawn upon completion of the full 2 day job. Both rounds of work our neighbors have noticed and complimented the work. Round 3 with Premium Landscape Services is anticipated! read more

This is the second time we have hired Samuel and Premium Landscape Services. This time they laid crushed rock as a border around a new asphalt drive. And installed 4 boulders and a variety of plants to border a new parking area. Earlier this year, at the proper time, Samuel professionally pruned our very old and very large rhododendrons. We are very pleased with his professionalism and expertise, and with the team who work for him. Samuel's ideas and suggestions are very helpful in figuring out what to do. We are hiring Premium Landscape Services again read more

Samuel and Premium Landscape Services are the real deal. He responded quickly to my requests, and provided an attractive design at a very fair price. I was never pressured or rushed and he listened attentively and provided several great suggestions. He's also a really good person. I called them since I always see their work trucks around my neighborhood working on several of my neighbors' gardens, all of which are beautifully laid out and maintained. And that's the ultimate recommendation you can get. read more

They came out and did an excellent job on my property. He showed up a little early, was very polite, walked the property to know what I wanted done, was very professional, and cleaned up when he was finished. Before he left, we walked the property again and it was perfect. I've already reached out to schedule the next service. read more

At the time I wasn't able to take care of my lawn and I was looking to get some landscape work done. After one message Samuel called to set up an appointment. I knew then that the experience will be completely different than trying, almost begging to give my money to another landscaping business that had poor follow through. His crew did amazing work keeping my lawns cut and trim. A responsible keener and top notch service- you can't go wrong with hiring him for your next job. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent Landscaping Company to work with! Professional & Reliable! I highly recommend them for all landscaping needs!

Our experience has only been positive with Premium Landscaping. We have used Samuel and his company for multiple projects including our HOA. Our most recent project was to prune a large Japanese Maple . After pruning it was entirely balanced and a very nice accessory to our landscaping rather than the dominate feature as before. I confidently recommend the company for any project. They will not disappoint. read more

Samuel completed our backyard project on time, quickly, and did a beautiful job. He even cut down a few problem branches for us just because he could! He was very nice and easy to communicate with. Would recommend their services to everyone! read more

I am so glad I found Sam! Since arriving to Washington from Louisiana in 2014, Sam is the first reliable person that has been reliable and consistent with his lawn care services. My home is scheduled bi-weekly and he never skips a beat unless there is downtime. Even with downtime, Sam will come by my home to check that nothing is needed. Although I am a renter, but I believe in taking care of property because while I am in the home, this is my home. Sam is affordable as well. His invoicing process is also convenient for online bill payers like myself. Sadly, I have not met Sam in person because of my work schedule. However, my husband has nothing but great things to say about Sam and his company and that makes me even happier! Thanks, Sam! read more

Please call this business when you want a professional to do your lawn. Samuel responded quickly after I called him. He is very professional and educated me on lawn care. This company was a great choice. read more

Premium Landscape Services - Very satisfied customer! - Landscaping Near Me - Olympia, Washington

I am an out of town homeowner that was preparing the property to be placed on the market. Samuel was very easy to work with and did exceptional work at a very reasonable price. He was flexible when we had issues with the other trades and still completed his work when he said he would even having to go back out to the property an additional time due to timing conflicts. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for exceptional work at a reasonable price completed in a timely and professional manner. Great job! read more

This crew is on it! I'm always really particular about how my edging is done when I move and hire a new lawn team... but this company is prompt, and efficient! Their online bill pay is also really easy to use. They also are excellent communicators, we accidentally left the toddler locks on our back gate and they immediately reached out to us instead of blowing it off for us to find out later. I highly recommend hiring them for any lawn care work you might have. read more

Had a water issue on the side of my house and hire PLS to fix it. Samuel brought in a small excavator, removed dirt, installed a nice retaining wall, leveled the ground, and laid down crushed black gravel. It looks great but most importantly it solved my water issue and gave me piece of mind. Price, service, and cleaned is top notch and couldn't be happier. Samuel's hired help did a great job as well. Looking forward to hiring PLS for future projects. Thank you Samuel! read more

Samuel was wonderful, on-time, and extremely knowledgeable about plants. He spent a lot of time with us during the initial consultation and took extra time going over plants that I had questions about. Since we bought our house last year, there's a lot I didn't know about the plants that were there when we bought the place, and he was able to give us a lot of great ideas and advice about edging, types of plants, and how to thin them out for better growth. And that was all before we ever decided to go with his services. He also gave a very reasonable quote and we accepted. We will be having him come back to do more work and he also has a software program that does landscape design -- he quoted a very good price to have a custom design done up for us so we will be pursuing that come spring time. Samuel was on time each time he showed up and was very pleasant to work with. Good help is hard to find but we've certainly found ours! Also, he has connections with wholesale prices for plants so that's a great resource if you're going to be looking to buy plants like we will be doing. read more

The guy who showed up could give a crap about our project. He kept calling me by the wrong name. He was very knowledgeable about plants and had a few good ideas, but the quote came about 3wks after he came over initially and didn't even include everything. He didn't express any interest in how we can get started, dates, nothing. Screw this place. Pretty disrespectful. Guess you don't want our money. Kind of funny, really. read more

Scheduling was awful, delays daily, promises unfulfilled, clean-up almost non-existent, and very pushy about getting paid right away. Oh, and did I mention exorbitant price? Never again!! read more

I had a seven foot rhododendron that was dead and needed to be removed from my front yard. Having seen the previous reviews for this company, I went with Samuel Hill's Premium Landscape Services. He offered to come out and let me know if he thought the plant was salvageable and give me an estimate on removal if necessary. Samuel came out, confirmed the plant was beyond saving and quoted me a price for its removal. He showed up on time two days later and removed the plant in what I considered record time. I'll use this company again. read more

Samuel did a great job trimming some very old and overgrown fruit trees in our yard. We couldn't be happier with the result! He was very patient with us during the assessment process, and arrived on time the day of the trimming. We will definitely be working with Samuel again in the future for all of our tree trimming needs. read more

Samuel was professional, thorough, and kind. He was a great resource for information and suggestions. I would recommend him to anyone.

Sam is punctual, easy to communicate with, honest, knowledgeable, and makes sound plant recommendations. We've used his design, plant acquisition, and plant health check services. read more

My entire experience working with Premium Landscapes Inc. was positive and professional.bI needed some yard work done (lawn maintenance and weed pulling,) at a rental house I was moving out of. Sam did a wonderful job for a fair price and the yard looks beautiful again! I would recommend Premium Landscapes to anybody looking for well-done landscaping. Thanks again! read more

I couldn't have been more pleased with Samuel and his work at my home. He was always courteous and respectful, responsive and punctual, and the company's work was perfect.

Needed some sprinklers, sod and trees installed. Had another company on deck to take care of the work. They left a lot to be desired so i did not use them.

Thank you and you have a customer for life!! read more
