Reviews of local pros in Swanton, Ohio

Update:
I went back with my three-year-old and we explored around back of the building a little bit and found a really cool play structure! If I ever go back with him I'm going to schedule an hour of hang out time into our day because this place is so fun!!

Original post:
I came in for fish pond supplies, and the woman there who helped us was very knowledgeable and courteous. I also enjoy that she approached us as soon as we came in, instead of us looking around for a while not knowing what to do. I will definitely go back there for all of my fish pond supply needs in the future.

I used to come here allllll the time as a kid. I was in the area yesterday with my friend and we stopped in, this place is just as good as I remember. The house plant selection is amazing, and I bought the biggest pink princess I've ever seen. They also have some extra friendly cats. Prices were reasonable. The pink princess is mature and growing up a pole and it was $30 after their 25% off houseplants discount. For the record, I absolutely did NOT need this plant and don't have the space for it. But I will make space 🤣🤣

Horrible

Wouldn’t hire him to rake my leaves

I highly recommend Norm and his team! He responded to my request for a quote within 24 hours, offered a fair price, and had a team out within a few days of our initial conversation. They weeded a large area in front of my house, relocated a few bushes to spread them out (so they looked better), and put mulch down. Great experience!

Though This company and its owner Norm purport to be landscapers, I wouldn’t hire them to rake my leaves. I don’t write reviews, but in this case, I must warn people about this company. Far from qualified landscaper, Norm is a vandal and a fraud. Just my opinion.

I hired Petal Pushers Landscaping to help me put my back yard in order after a guy I hired to build a patio left behind a giant mound of dirt and yards and yards of gravel and screed. The job was simple, if not labor intensive - remove the gravel and screed, spread out the dirt mound, add topsoil and seed.

In April, he collected half the agreed payment. Two or so weeks later, he showed up for another 25%. But having paid him 75% of the costs, he had not started work in early May when I told him I was going to start the project on my own. He begrudgingly showed up on the following Monday with a kid off the street who did not know which end of a shovel to hold (no offense to him).

Norm, quite obviously mad at having to perform his agreed services, throwing all of the gravel and screed into my yard and mixing it up with the dirt, threw some grass seed haphazardly on top and left...and took MY shovel with him! He also destroyed my drain by running it over with his tractor. When I called Norm out on the rocks in my yard and his failure to remove the gravel and screed, the kid said, “I wondered why he told me to throw the rocks in the yard.” Yeah, kid, me, too.

Now, three full days of raking the rocks out of the yard, and hauling out the gravel and screed myself (and I’m not done yet), I’m going to have to hire someone else come in (if I can find someone) and finish the job he agreed to do.

What this guy did to me was criminal in my opinion. I am warning you with peace and love, hire this guy at your own risk.

Hired Norm to replace a failing U -shaped retaining wall with railroad ties. On day 3 we alerted Norm to the side wall not being square with front wall or perpendicular to driveway and requested the fix. He tried to blame it on the driveway and sidewalk not being square (they are), then the material. He would not fix without charging us more to redo his poor work. My husband had to spend his whole Sunday redoing the wall so it was correct. We do not recommend Norm.

Scott and his team do a great job! I use them for landscaping and snow removal

Friendly quality service!

Amazing company, been in business for a long time, so glad they are back in the Toledo area! Thanks for the work today, the yard looks great!

Paul and his guys are super efficient and never did a bad job. The yard looks great and he even went out of his way to replace a watermelon plant he accidentally took out in our yard!

We've been dealing with lawn problems due to poor soil, for years. Since Paul diagnosed and treated it, we're enjoying a healthier, green lawn.
Paul and his team are very courteous, informative and professional.

Very professional and responsive. They took care of my Mother's lawn care needs beautifully and timely. They even hauled away a felled tree off of the property. Sadly, Mom no longer needs their services. 5/5 Stars! Would definitely recommend Wiser Lawn. Timely, Professional, and courteous.

Wiser lawn responded quickly to significant ice damage to a tree in my yard. I was given helpful advice on how to care for the tree in hopes to save it. The branches and yard clean up was well done. The price was fair and reasonable. I will be using their services for my lawn care when spring arrives!

Hydroseed was amazing. They took many rocks out of my yard.

Same experience as the other reviews. Thinnest “hydroseeding” I have seen. Left rocks and mulch everywhere in the soil

Don't use for hydroseeding. Our builder used Bauer for hydroseeding our new lawn and they left so many stones in the dirt that the grass cant grow. I have heard good things about Land Art hydroseeding, unfortunately I wasn't aware of them before mine was done.

Stay far away from these guys! Their version of hydroseeding is "hydro rocks". Last I checked you can't grow grass over rocks and giant pieces of mulched up wood. Especially not thousands of them. I have 7 Kroger bags FULL of things grass wouldn't dare grown on. I had no choice with this second rate company as the Buckeye Home we just moved into uses them for some reason. I would have been better off doing it myself. ANY lawn care company would know this just doesn't work. All the houses on my street look the same and it's ridiculous. The houses are gorgeous and the yards all look like a war zone. Either way I'll be spending my entire fall and spring trying to make it right. I don't even want them to try to make it better as they'll ruin it even more I'm sure.

Always appreciate their prompt response!

Local place with quick, friendly service and expertise.

I have an old, piece of junk furnace that no one can find parts for... except Doug and the guys at Northwest. Every time I have an issue they bail me out!... same day! In a time where everybody claims to be an expert, these guys are the real deal!
