  Lightning is responsible for mowing the apartment complex I currently live at, They are here every week and leave it pristine. The insert for my platform feeder fell out during a storm, and one of the weed whacker guys accidentally hit it, (this happens) Jeff called me personally after I let them know what happened and they replaced the entire birdfeeder with a brand new much nicer one that day! Top-notch cutters and top-notch service. Brian in South Lyon.

  I don’t like writing poor reviews, particularly for a small local business, but I feel compelled to share our experience to warn potential customers. Unfortunately, our experience with Lightning was extremely disappointing from start to finish. It started with the initial sales appointment. My wife and I rearranged our work schedules to be home on a Thursday for the scheduled meeting. When the appointment time came and went, I called about 10 minutes later. There was no answer. The salesperson called me back and admitted he had forgotten about the appointment. We rescheduled for the following day. He was friendly and seemed knowledgeable, so we decided to move forward. We agreed on a plan that included privacy trees in the fall and softscape work the following spring. The trees were installed in November with a 30-day warranty. Unfortunately, the majority did not survive the winter. Lightning replaced a couple pines but refused to replace the arborvitaes, attributing their failure to deer damage and windburn. We then had the entire winter for Lightning to help plan the spring softscape work. Unfortunately, the problems continued. They showed up unannounced to begin the work, there were periods of weeks with little or no communication, and plants that require shade were placed in full sun. The overall plant selection and arrangement were disappointing and, in our opinion, showed a lack of basic landscape design knowledge. To make matters worse, the work wasn't even finished when we started receiving calls and emails requesting the final payment. When I requested an itemized statement of account showing all charges, credits, and payments applied, they were unable to provide one. That added another layer of frustration to an already difficult experience. Our lawn was also damaged during the project and, despite the passage of time, has still not been properly repaired. At that point, I made the final payment simply because I wanted the experience to be over. The biggest issues were poor communication, lack of professionalism, inadequate follow-through, and significant concerns with the landscape design, plant selection, and billing/accounting. What should have been an exciting $25,000+ landscaping project turned into an experience we deeply regret. We are now paying another contractor to correct and finish work that Lightning Landscape was hired to do in the first place. I have never had a contractor experience this frustrating. I would strongly encourage anyone considering Lightning Landscape to do extensive due diligence and get multiple references before moving forward.

  Brandon recently services my lawn and performed a very good job. Cleaned up all debris and made it look great. Thank you for a job well done. Reply STOP to opt-out

  Absolutely would not recommend using this company. Very frustrating experience. I had multiple trees die within the first year despite proper care. After reaching out in early March, I spent nearly two months following up, only to be told the warranty would not be honored due to the previous company going out of business. This could have been communicated from the start. Instead, I was quoted a high price for smaller replacement trees after weeks of delays. Poor communication and lack of transparency made this a disappointing experience overall.

  Save yourself time and money…. Use literally ANY other company, because these guys are a hack! These “professionals” installed the lawn on my new build, and the outcome is atrocious. The entire block of houses actually. This company should be ashamed of their work. Grass doesn’t grow on rocks, Lightning!
