We hired Vande Hey company in late winter of 2021 to do a significant amount of landscaping around our new house starting in late spring 2021. They said that "yes," we were early enough with our request that starting at that time would be reasonable. We were completely railroaded by this company. We continued to call, and call, and call, hoping for them to put us on our calendar. They did not come until October and even then they forgot to do some things and had to come back to finish (and this certainly was not immediate). After they were done, they were supposed to do a walk around with us to

Critical:Professionalism,Responsiveness

That spring John met with my parents, as he was leaving the company, and introduced Phil. It did take quite a long time but the work finally was completed. They needed to come back several times to correct plantings placed too high, bushes and plants that died, etc. Phil was very polite, patient and understanding. There was
