Bad experience. Committed to do Fall cleanup 2016 only if I agreed to also do Spring cleanup 2017. I agreed to. Same price, $245, for each.with the purpose of ensuring if they "didn't get it clean in the Fall, they would have to get it in the Spring". Well, they haven't yet arrived in the spring, and today said their price is now $425. Yeah, I don't think so. Nice try.

Katerberg VerHage designed and installed a large retaining wall and circular patio area in our backyard. The materials used were high end and we are very pleased with how it turned out. The plantings that they suggested and installed are beautiful and compliment the whole project and our home. The two person crew was professional and worked efficiently. We are planning an addition to this project and will definitely be using KV for this also. We would recommend KV for your landscaping needs!

In all my dealings with Katerberg Verhage (and I've moved at least a thousand trees for them over the last 24 years) I have never had an unpleasant experience. Seriously, not even one. I am not referring to adverse weather or site conditions but to the extraordinary men and women who consistently bend over backward to make my job as easy and efficient as possible.
They are friendly, creative and have wonderful attitudes. I always look forward to the days I get to spend on their job sites. Just the right balance of laughter and productivity, makes my day!
