Report
Doerler landscaping seems to be focused on corporate accounts or on private households with similar budgets. For a private homeowner, I would recommend them for consideration if someone is undertaking a large and expensive project and he/she wants a quote from several reputable firms. If you are looking for routine yard maintenance or if you are focused on a competitive budget, I would suggest you tread carefully. We were privately contracted with Doerler for several years when we terminated our relationship. Despite oral assurances that plantings would be guaranteed for a year, documentation

Report
Very disappointing. I requested a quote for lawn service and some landscaping in my backyard. After several phone calls, I finally received a quote for $5000+ for weekly cuts, edging, fall/spring clean-up, and some mulch. This was $2000+ more than my neighbor paid for a comparable property. They never bothered to send a quote for the landscaping. Waste of time!!!
