Not knowing who to call, I looked up a list of licensed installers through the local health department. I talked with several companies, but knew right away Wood Brothers & Sons was the company I wanted to do the work. I spoke with David Wood, he walked me through the entire process from start to finish. He responded very quickly to any and all questions. His brother Jack did the septic, even offered to help with some other things to get this closing done. They had the whole job done and final inspection from the health department, all within a week!!! I can't say enough about these 2 gentlemen or this company, I would give them 10 stars if I could. It's hard to find people now days, who strive to do a top notch job, I was fortunate to have found exactly that through Wood Brothers & Sons. Thanks guys for an outstanding job!!!

We hired Mark originally to plow our driveway this winter as our tractor had died the summer…read morebefore. Mark was reliable and did a fantastic job clearing the driveway. Communication was always clear and consistent. We were so impressed by Mark we decided to hire him to redo our driveway with crushed asphalt as well as put stone down in our barn. The crushed asphalt driveway is beautiful. The stone in the barn has been a Godsend. The original builder put some kind of junk sand in the barn that was incredibly dusty/dirty as well as anything that walked or drove on it sunk in 6" and filled the air with a heavy dust. The day Mark put the stone down the whole atmosphere of the barn changed. It is clean and clear inside, and it is easy to breathe. I'm so happy with the fix. We like Mark's work so much my husband and I keep thinking up projects for him to do for us!

As a result of the clog, our driveway was flooded and it came close to flooding our garage floors, Advantage sent to service guys the day after I called, and a separate truck with a huge pump and power spraying capability.

They used all of their 400 gallon water tank and did a great job! About $600.

Hired April 2025 -- unresolved as of January 2026. The project involved residential interior and…read moreexterior work and was time-sensitive due to environmental and animal-safety considerations. I was satisfied with the quality of the work, but the project was not completed. The larger issues were timeliness, follow-through, communication, and billing transparency. Communication became increasingly unresponsive, and eventually the contractor stopped communicating with me directly, routing communication through his wife instead, which led to confusion about prior agreements. By late October 2025, the project remained unfinished. I was later told the business was prioritizing other types of jobs, something that had never been communicated upfront. I ultimately terminated the project in November 2025. A final walkthrough was never conducted before billing. I raised questions about specific invoice items multiple times over several months but did not receive explanations. Concerns that were raised were not addressed, and responsibility for unresolved issues was not acknowledged. In several instances, issues I raised were attributed to my expectations rather than addressed as deviations from the agreed scope or as workmanship concerns. Payment discussions were directed to a third party rather than handled directly with me, which I was not comfortable with, and I was unexpectedly told there was an unpaid balance after being informed a reduced payment would settle the account. I was also later told--after the fact--that the job was being worked on only in the contractor's "free time," which was never disclosed and would have affected my decision to hire them. Taken together, the lack of response to my questions and the use of third-party communication instead of direct contact ultimately damaged the process and made the experience feel dismissive and disrespectful. Additionally, a late-fee policy was introduced retroactively nearly three months after invoicing and had not been disclosed in advance or listed on the invoice. I paid the balance aside from the disputed portion in an effort to move toward closure. Based on my experience, I would not hire this business again. If you choose to work with them, I recommend confirming that scope, timelines, communication expectations, and billing terms are clearly documented in writing from the outset.

First he claimed the grass was to long, then he requested the cars in the driveway to be moved. The location was on a busy street with very little parking. The tenants were not able to park int he street until people left in the morning for work. The tenant was up and ready to move the cars when he arrived. But, instead of knock on the door, he just drive by and left. Then sent me an email stating that he was keeping my deposit, charging me for two service calls and the job of cancelled. This was after he cancelled on me twice because of a flat tire and other equipment failure. Most unprofessional contractor I've ever worked with.

It was quite old and rotting at the base so the storm left it leaning towards our new fence, not quite resting on it but close to taking the fence down. They did a fantastic job! Actually amazing to watch, they methodically cut down the tree and dropped it piece by piece in the backyard very precisely, never hitting the fence or any of my flower boxes. Really appreciate the care they took. Cleaned everything up and took it all away. So thrilled that we have no damage to the fence! We highly recommend Lansing Tree Service, they were professional, quick, efficient and very reasonably priced. Definitely using them in the future for any tree work! 517-663-8097
