Landscaping reviews in Grand Rapids, Michigan

I hired Lathans to plow behind my rental for the season. I had to call them to ask why the spots had not been cleared still after a couple weeks of snow this winter. When I called the guy said he had driven by but cars were in the spaces so he didn't do it. But never called me to let me know there was an issue? Then my tenants said he essentially yelled at them for telling me the spaces were not being plowed. He did say he was plowing late at night, however tenants work opposite day and night shifts and never saw anything be plowed except the time they had me call. Needless to say I wouldn't recommend this company considering the lack of active communication, unprofessional communication, and excuses to not offer services that were paid for in advance.

I signed up with potter lawn & landscape for snow removal, not only were they quick to plow my driveway during the storms, they made sure to clean out the end of my driveway every time after the city plow buried me in during the storms, the last 2 companies I used did not provide this service with their snow removal. Best service around, highly recommend!

If you are looking for a company that is incredibly friendly and professional this is 💯 the company to work with. In previous years another company would do the fall clean up but they would leave the acorns (we have a ton of huge trees) so they became almost woven into the grass and it was like walking on rocks. Well Potter and Potter has been caring for the trees in this yard for years and they came and saw the "cleanup" that was done and performed a second one. When I tell you they got every single leaf, acorn and stick out of this yard I was SHOCKED. Because they did such an incredible job they were hired to come back to clean up the side patio (it was a disaster) and mulched all the back trees (there are A LOT); and the work they did felt like being on one of those home remodeling shows with the grand reveal. It was exciting and exactly what we wanted. They are fast with communication, always kind and their crew is unmatched. 10/10 recommend.

Would NEVER use. Will not use companies who repeatedly (and illegally) put flyers on mailboxes. First, it is a crime to put things on, in, or hang from a mailbox that didn't come from or through the post office. Postal inspectors even ask customers to report individuals who go from mailbox to mailbox. This could incur fines or even a federal investigation and charges. Secondly, this company folded their flyer and wedged it between our mailbox flag and the box, breaking the mailbox flag. And thirdly, these flyers just fall out eventually and blow around, just littering neighborhoods. Seriously, get bent.

I was in the parking lot of D&W at 8:45 taking my dog out of my truck for a grooming appointment. Their truck came past and pelted large salt rocks at us at a high velocity - hitting my vehicle, me and my small dog. After I went into the groomer's business, the truck came past again and literally pelted her glass windows. This is unacceptable.

First winter with Oomkes snow plowing and they have been awesome to work with. Very proactive with plowing, starting early and coming back late, ensuring that my driveway is always perfect and clear. They also have a great ability to clear the snow without leaving piles of snow and ice. I would give them the highest recommendation possible.

We have executive homes that we lease. Oomkis had been taking care of the grounds for about five years. They also take care of my personal home in Ada. Their team of trained service people are great. They take pride in their work, and always show up on time as scheduled. I appreciate that when we need extra attention in an area they handle it, and always leave us happy with the job. We've had Oomkes re landscape a home and they made it look truly awesome and modern.
I highly recommend Oomkes and their team for all of your landscape needs.

Oomkes provided great service for our landscape refresh as well as bed cleaning/maintenance. They do a wonderful job and are always responsive with any questions/concerns - highly recommend!

Had lawn installed 4 years ago in a new residential neighborhood. Waited to post feedback until my lawn came in more since it was not going well. Unfortunately, my lawn does not look anything like any other homes in my new development. Oomkes quotes were twice as high as several other local companies. We worked with them to scale back some landscaping beds to bring down cost. Part of the scale back was top soil in backyard, which at the time was not even a large cost reducer. Oomkes assured me that the backyard did not need it and the backfill that was in there was perfect. I even questioned before seed was sprayed that I didn't want it to result in a poor backyard. After 1 season, the backyard did not fill in to look like any of the neighbors. Oomkes came out and over seeded and aerated the same fall. Told me to wait a few seasons to let it come in more and the reason was likely due to not adding top soil due to wanting to reduce cost. This part was very frustrating. I decided to stay with them for fertilizing so they could work the lawn. Well, its been 4 years and the yard looks no different. Decided to move away from Oomkes on fertilizing. Quite honestly, the backyard needs completely re-done. I would not reccommend Oomkes for grass care. There are other local landscapers that are much lower cost and the results are much more satisfying. I was pleased with the people that worked at Oomkes, but the results of my actual lawn are driving this review.

Oomkes Landscape Management has blown me away with their thoroughness, promptness, preciseness, and professionalism. Before working with this company, I didn't know that companies with such high standards of excellence still existed.

From the Office to the Field, Oomkes Landscape Management has you covered with an entire team of professionals ready to assist you with your lawn and landscape and/or snow removal needs. It's good to find a company that exceeds your expectations, and delivers quality results all throughout the community.

We switched to Oomkes Landscape this year for the care of our lawn. Our lawn has never looked so good! We have a corner lot in the city and I enjoy making it beautiful. Hiring Oomkes has stepped it up a notch. We have a lot of sidewalk and the edge looks amazing. They have also done a great job mowing. I love seeing the checkerboard pattern in my front yard!

Weekly they cut the lawn at my work and weekly our cars get pelted with clippings. The grass looks great but the cars are always covered in grass and I am just waiting for the day that something happens to either one of the employees cars or someone else.
Just witnessed all of the parking lot dirt and all clippings being blown at full speed at a full row of cars to "clean" them up.
Grass still looks amazing though

Big dawgs

Professionally run company with a wide range of expertise in outdoor site management work.

They are knowledgeable, kind, quick working and arrive when they say they will! I highly recommend them for your landscaping needs.

Truly outstanding design! The hardscapes enhance our home and are absolutely beautiful.

I hired this contractor to re-slope my yard and lay sod in the summer of 2016. After a two month drought, we started getting rain and we noticed we had standing water around our house. We thought this was ironic because this was what we paid him to avoid. After close to a year of avoided phone calls, he finally picked up and told us we were SOL. I highly recommend anybody thinking of using Lawns of Distinction to find someone else!

Bob and his crew worked at excavating a large shed site for me. They found water and addressed the 'surprise' very well. They kept me informed and provided excellent advice. They completed the project to my liking. I'm really pleased with their work. I'm contracting them for my egress windows and snow removal.

Bob and his crew are polite, professional, and punctual. After the job was complete, they followed up several times to ensure I was happy with their work. Pricing was fare, they did a great job, and the job was completed quickly.

If you have any landscaping needs I highly recommend you call lawns of distinction. They came as a personal recommendation from a friend and now I recommend them to you.

They did a great job helping out with my eagle scout project. Very satisfied with how the project came out!

Bruce and his team recently built a stone labyrinth at our church. He and his team are fantastic. The design he did is beautiful. He met with our committee several times to hear what we wanted and to share his plan based on our feedback to him. He even had us meet him at Belsen brick to share brick selections. He and his crew truly care about what they do. We cannot say enough good things about their work and also the relationship they built with our committee
