Reviews of local pros in Taylor, Michigan

The owner of the shop was so nice. His Parrott brought some cheer, too! I like the variety of products, and I'm exited for speing when they come out with the plants

The place to go for STIHL products! I came in before Christmas to get my mother in law a new stihl weed whip. Spoke with John, he asked me multiple questions about what maintaining her lawn entails, how many acres, commercial use or personal use, etc etc. After about 20 minutes of going over the options he gave his recommendations on what he thought would work best for her based on her needs. I was sold immediately and was ready to purchase the unit and give it as a gift for Xmas. John then says, don't buy it! I was confused? He suggested waiting until April to purchase it since she wouldn't need it right away and that the manufacturer often has a promotion in April for $50 off. I appreciated that very much but really wanted to have something for her to open up on Christmas day...... he then said hold on, went to the back, and came out with this plastic toy stihl weed whip that lights up and makes noise that he used as a display. He said if you promise to come back in April and get one I'll give you this so she has something to open. I was blown away. Needless to say I just picked up the new Stihl weed whip today at the discounted price he promised and its amazing!!! The service and compassion that John and the business has towards its customers is second to none. He even completed the warranty paperwork for me on the product and showed me how to maintain and operate it. I will not go anywhere else from now on for any lawn equipment/supplies or garden needs. I am a customer for LIFE. Thanks John!!!!

Their website states their rolls of sod are 10'. I even asked the cashiers if they were 10' because that's what I needed. Yes they said. Then they said someone would be out to load it. I ended up loading it myself. Get it home and it's like 4-5'. I go back and explain the situation to another lady there who tells me " Yeah that's 10 '...2'w x 5' long...10 sq. Ft.". I tell her well your website is misleading because it says 10'...not 10 sq.ft. Because I was short on time I had to reluctantly buy another 4.99 roll. Deceptive and over priced on everything. $10 for 10 feet plus tax. I will not be coming here any more or recommend this place.

Good for soil, stone, mulch, and straw. Simple replacement parts are ok too. Do not use their repair services though. Brought my Stihl chainsaw in cause it kept stalling. They charged me for a tune up and said it was good to go. I started it up and issue was still there. Took it to a competitor and they said a valve was broken in the carb. This is 2nd issue I've had with their repairs. Won't use them again.

Support Local! Very knowledgeable employees and very friendly. It's also wonderful that it is still only $5 to sharpen lawn mower blade.

Went to 3 big box stores looking for lawn bags, D&L had them in abundance! The staff was very friendly and they even have the cutest bird that greets you with a hello when you walk in the door 🙂 In addition to the lawn bags I purchased a few really cute accessories for my daughter's playhouse. I found my new go-to for my outdoor needs! Would definitely recommend!!

Knowledgeable, honest, and very helpful. D&L recommended a lawn mower that was more expensive than a big box store, but when explained it was better at mulching I bought it. Sure enough, no more lines of unmulched grass killing my lawn. Great value pricing, cheapest isn't always the best.

I've since returned for maintenance items, and D&L is very helpful, explains repairs in doing, and gets me the right part.... Unlike the big box stores I tried first. It's a little out of my way, but I recommend D&L highly!

We love this place! John is extremely knowledgeable and helpful! Will go back here for all our plant needs!

I have a lawn service and i was looking for a dealer that service Stihl equipment,read reviews about this place, great reviews..took my weed whip for service.Did a awesome job, good prices..Took a 2nd weed whip for repair was told by the owner John, it would be to expensive to repair what place you know that would tell you that..most places are about the $ not D&L, they are about their customers . I will not go anywhere else from now on!

I'm so glad I found this place. I brought two Stihl saws in for repair, and I left the same day with both saws fully working. In fairness, there was nothing wrong with them -- D&L was able to take one look at them and see that I just needed advice about how to reset them. This is why I support small businesses. Instead of charging me for a repair that I didn't need, they were honest and treated me like a neighbor instead of just another sale. Customer for life.

I took my older snow blower in for repairs and I purchased a new one. The gentleman that waited on me went through everything that wasn't working and introduced me to a brand new one. He personally delivered the new Toro to my house and went over all of the features. I've used this shop in the past to fix my lawnmower. I'd highly recommend this center for personalized service with detailed information at a reasonable price.

First off, the fact that they were still open and their power was out shows the dedication of customer service. I went in to get a few parts for my snowblower. The gentleman was very knowledgeable and the young lady who rang me up was very helpful. Blessings on blessings!

Great local business with a good selection of products and services. John, the owner, is very knowledgeable about everything regarding your outdoor lawn and garden needs. He is also quick to help out in every way possible. Get to know him - you won't be disappointed.

I have not had an experience as professional, friendly, and proficient as I did at D&L in the last decade.

Went to buy a chainsaw and had an awesome customer service experience!
I was in and out quickly, they walked me thru everything clearly and efficiently.
Chainsaw was filled with fluids and ran. Chain tensioned properly before I left.
Warranty info filled out for me.
Very professional. Highly recommend.

I am a pool installer and mason sand is a huge part of our installation. I purchased 3.5 yards of mason sand from this company and we drove 20 minutes to get it. We pulled out more then 200 rocks from this sand. It took almost 2 hours to sift through all this sand. It was an absolute nightmare. When we called the owner to explain what we were dealing with, all he kept saying was he hasn't had a rock in his sand for 20 years and there's no way there could be any rocks. He refused to take any responsibly for his mason sand. I've been installing pools for over 35 years and that was the worst experience with rocks in the sand that I've ever seen. Make sure you sift through with your hands before you buy any sand from D and L. . All the owner had to say was hey I'm sorry this happened and try to make it right. If he just goes to his pile of sand he can clearly see it's full of rock. But instead just deny it ever happened. He lost a really good customer today.

I only looked at the garden section. There is a limited variety of landscape plants, but they were healthy. Prices were competitive.

Marked-down annuals were still looking pretty good in late June, but seemed a little pricey for something that needs to go fast.

I didn't learn anything from my 2020 experience ?? I'm so mad at myself right now---- First experience, I asked for "whatever" you have ABOVE top soil, I'm laying sod..
Owner: oH.. our top soil is top quality, you really can't tell the difference between it and Canadian Peat..
Reluctantly, I did agree, and ordered 1.5 yrds delivered.
It was LOADED with clay. I cried.. the more I tried to use, the more frustrated I became. Then just MAD, as it couldn't be used for SOD!
I called them. Owner told me, it crushes!! IT'S TOP SOIL !
Me: It's not top soil if it DOESN'T!!! I was throwing bowling ball sizes on THE DRIVE, and it wasn't breaking up.
I stacked odd retaining blocks to do a make shift bed and dumped it in THERE, as sod was coming the following day--
****he slightly adjusted my cost.
FAST FORWARD TO NOW.
(tree was removed 2020, replacing with sod).. all I need is a half yard. I pick it up... man loading couldn't have been kinder, but I seriously have only an 8x8 to fill--- it was easily a yard, perhaps even more tbh!
IT IS FULL OF ROCKS!
I only have one excuse for going there--- IT WAS CLOSE ! I wish I had some way of sifting this-- as this is going to take me FOREVER NOW.
I WILL NEVER, EVER GO BACK.
NOT CALLING - BECAUSE IT'S MY OWN FAULT FOR NOT LEARNING THE FIRST TIME.
*** first bad vibe: 9 am open, zero business in there!
*** second: Garden center is a tell tale sign of how they gave up on this business
Ba'Bye

P.s. doesn't look like they allow you to upload photos~~~~ hummm... oDddd

Didn't have what I was looking for alot of shelves looked wiped out

Edgar is great to work with! A great communicator and delivers timely results. He did a landscape design for us and provided a 3d rendering which was great! Highly recommend.

I recently had my paver brick patio updated by Gabriel Pavers, and it was a pleasure working with Edgar. He followed through with everything he had promised, and always followed up in a timely manner. His suggestion for the color and design were perfect. The crew was awesome and there quality of work was more than I could of asked for. They were kind, considerate and dedicated to getting everything right. They cleaned up the area after completion and the patio was restored beautifully. I would highly recommend this company.

The experience I had with Edgar was Fantastic. Everything I designed on paper was exactly what I visioned in my back yard. I chose 3 globe shrubbery and 3 Azaleas +1 Juniper. Perfect for the area. The stone short wall just dresses it all up. Gabriel Pavers and crew were very attentive to my every need. I recommend them to anyone thats looking for great Landscaping. Their the Company to get in touch with. Thank you Edgar, Company and Crew
