Home Services reviews in Allenton, Wisconsin

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The crew was extremely easy to work with, always open to conversation, and happy to explain anything needed along the way. Also, the patio they built for us turned out fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Maria and her team do a fantastic job. They understand the types of plants that work best with my landscaping and are responsive when I have questions.

This is the first time I've used Valley View, and I couldn't have been more pleased. We live in a time where it's difficult, it seems, to schedule any kind of contractor or service. Valley View is different. Very professional, very kind, extremely responsive, great quality, and incredible value. I scheduled a "spring clean up" w/mulch around my entire property, plus a 15 ft privacy fence. My wife and I walked around our property last night admiring the work. I now don't see a need to ever try another landscaping company - which is a relief because we've been overpaying for average-at-best quality for many years. Highly recommend Valley View!

My husband and I are extremely pleased with results of our landscaping. Valley View met with us several times while planning our project. Once it was started they were meticulous with the stone work, patio and fire pit. The sod and garden beds look fantastic. We would definitely recommend Valley View Landscaping to others.

Writing a review on behalf of my parents:
After searching for months to find a contractor to build our retaining wall, we finally found one that responded to a Facebook inquiry. From the beginning they were professional, on time, kept us up to date on the progress. The cost was what they said it would be. And the best part is the retaining wall turned out amazing. The crew was also very polite and mindful of our neighbors. Really a great company! Thank you!

This is the 2nd time I have used Valley View on 2 big projects. Maria was great to work with and the team that did the job(s) was outstanding! They did everything they said they would and made sure we were on the same page every step of the way. I will definitely use them on future projects and highly recommend!

We have been working extensively with Valley View Landscaping and the experience has been amazing. They have done grading, installed grass and many trees. They also did all the landscaping around our house as well. Maria has fantastic ideas and has an eye for what may look good for each property. Pricing is competitive and the service has been outstanding. We have also used them for installing a deck and eventually we plan to install a patio with them. Communication, value and the overall experience has been exceptional.

Dishonest company with poor workmanship.

We hired them to redo the front landscaping and walkway at our home based on a recommendation by a trusted source. Things started great. We had them redo our brick walkway and add a patio next to the front stoop. They brought a sample brick and told us it was the closest match available. We were confused, but since we trusted them, we assumed that our other brick was too old and that an exact match was unavailable. The walkway was over 30 years old. After they installed the patio, it quickly became apparent it was completely different. It looked nothing like the existing bricks. Then it faded even more to look almost grey. It looks ridiculous. We found out later the exact brick was still made and that they must have just had some leftover bricks; they must have wanted to off on some unsuspecting customers. It turns out they have a landscape supply business, too. Which I was unaware of at the time. So they knew those bricks that matched ours were available from a different supplier, which they admitted later after I got samples from a brick supplier in Milwaukee. Not once did they mention that to us. They refused to fix it without charging us 2k to replace it and new bricks. I even offered to buy the new bricks if they would install them to fix it. No, go; we were stupid enough to believe them and are stuck with a 10k walkway and patio that do not match. Of course, they say we agreed to these bricks. If they had been honest and said the same bricks are available from a different supplier, and you can get them yourself, and we will install them, I would have done that in a second. Who would want a mismatched set of bricks for that price? I got no sensible response when I asked them if they would have installed these bricks at their house if it was their patio at their home. They had nothing to say; they literally would not answer that question. That is simply dishonest and intentionally deceptive.

There were other issues throughout the process as well. They covered a gutter drain when adding new topsoil and leveling the yard. We had water coming in the basement all winter, and luckily, I found it in time. I asked them to fix the pipe in the yard, and they refused to accept that they covered it. They insinuated that I hired a second contractor to come and add fill after they did their work. It's completely absurd. The area was covered by a dense thicket of shrubs at the time. All they had to do was add an extension to the buried pipe—more denial and calling me a liar.

They buried the low voltage line through the lawn less than 1/2" deep, and you could see the wire in some places. I'm unsure how that will hold up to aerating the yard next year. I guess I'll be paying for a new line run out the right way.

They have a tough time planting trees. Every tree they planted was too high or below the ground level. One Redbud was so far below the ground level that the root flair would be completely covered if you leveled it to the soil surface. They returned and raised it but damaged a root, and 1/3 of the branches on the tree died. They offered to replace it at my expense. Again, they denied it was their fault in any way.

They were supposed to remove all the walkway joint material and replace it with new poly sand. They did not do that correctly, and weeds grew in the cracks within a month. Much of the poly sand has even sunk or washed away. This is not what we agreed on. They said just spray it with weed killer. I wouldn't have paid to redo it if I wanted to do that. That's the whole point.

I'd hire these people to mow your lawn, but don't give them 36k like we did to do complex tasks correctly. I would steer clear of this company for hardscaping. Once unsatisfied with something, their demeanor quickly changes to denial, which will cost you. It's too bad you can't trust people anymore.
