Zillges Landscape, Fireplace & Excavation

We hired Zillges to redo a long stone wall along our driveway that was falling down. It had to be taken down and rebuilt correctly. Vince and Isaiah did an incredible job!! It looks amazing and we are so happy with the work they did! We will definitely hire Zillges for our next project! The entire team was great to work with from start to finish!

Fantastic experience working with Zillges. It was important to me that we maintained the original brick arch of the fireplace. Steve knew exactly what needed to be done, and we couldn’t be happier. We have had many compliments on the insert.

As I come in from having to try and fix Zillges's work for the second time in two years, perhaps it's therapeutic to share our experience. Zillges did the excavation on our new build. They did such a terrible job backfilling that we constantly get sink holes next to the foundation of our house. This means that we're constantly pulling back the landscaping to try and put more dirt where they left all the stones. We've spent too much money on this to have to constantly fix it. Where is the professionalism?

Lest you think this is simply a disappointed homeowner, even Zillges employees agreed. We had Zillges give us a bid on our landscaping ($30k) and the Zillges rep said that he would have to have someone from Excavation come back out and fix the backfill problems before he could do any of the landscaping. The problem was brought up to Tim who completely ignored it - you read that correctly - he had absolutely no interest in correcting his company's sloppy work. The only recourse we have is to completely ignore them for our future business. The landscaping bid went to a competitor (Landscape Solutions) who did a fantastic job.

I'm sure there are folks who have had great experiences with Zillges, but we are simply not one of them. If their own employees were ashamed of the work, that should tell you something. I could not in good conscience recommend Zillges's excavation services.
