Very shady business practices. Be sure to get their rate in writing. I called them and was told (by Josh) that it would be $150/hour for 4 guys to perform leave removal. I have a large yard and lots of leaves, so this discussion on pricing and number of people was very important to me since having 4 people blowing the leaves in concert is much more efficient that one or two guys. They were at my house for 3 hours. The bill should have been $450, but they tried to charge me $650. They later denied telling me it was $150/hour for 4 guys. Additionally they tried to tack on a $50 disposal fee, which

We were impressed with the knowledge of the person we dealt with concerning our new landscape update. Clay know what we wanted to replace our existing landscape with. He explained in detail what needed to be removed and the type of items to replace them. The crew he sent out to do the work was outstanding. Thank you!

We recently had Kohler Lawn & Outdoor build a retaining wall at our home. Their communication & attention to our project was excellent all the way through the project. The crew was extremely thorough, polite and even took the time to clean all of the walks and road after the job was complete. Highly recommend using Kohler Outdoor!

I've had the pleasure of working with Andy on several landscaping projects; he's always very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. His crew showed up on time, worked hard, and cleaned up after each project was finished. I'm pleased with the results... beautiful landscaping that truly enhances the look of my home!
