After moving into our new home, I hired Van Zelst to redo all of my shrubbery beds which had quite a number of diseased, dying, or dead plants and bare ground with only weeds growing there. I dealt with David Van Zelst who listened very well to my desires for ongoing color and interest in the beds as well as my past experiences with certain types of plants and proposed a plan that addressed all of it. While they were not the least expensive proposal I received, I picked then for the job and am glad that I did. The quality and size of the plants they selected were outstanding. The neighborhood association has to review and approve the design before the replanting can occur and plant size is an issue for them. The material Van Zelst planted easily met or exceeded the requirements. The crew that did the removal and replanting was great – they were pleasant, very efficient, and did a great job cleaning the worksite up when they were done – other than the beautiful plants that were there instead of the dead ones, you would never have known they were there.

During the job itself, Dave VanZelst checked in a couple of times to ensure things were going the way that they should, answer any questions I had, and that I was happy with the results. I was! I would recommend this organization to anyone considering an addition to or complete redo of their landscaping.
