Dakota Landscaping and Handyman

These guys are awesome! The level of professionalism, thoroughness and outright dedication to completing the job is unparalleled. Dakota is not only dependable, but trustworthy and of the highest integrity. He took the time to give me a fair quote, explain the order of progress and the overall requirements for the desired finished product. Prior to any additional work, he always confirms that it is good to continue and explains the necessity involved. Today alone he simply came out after seeding both my front and back yards to ensure that the sprinklers were functioning properly and that there were no other associated issues. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH. He will be my landscaper for as long as I live in Peoria...or until he retires lol. Thanks again Boss!

My opinion still has not changed.  I do not, and will not ever use this company.  
1.  Bad service
2.  Bad workmanship.
3.  They don't seam to know what they are doing
4.  installed defective valves.  Pipes never pressure tested.  I could have taken a shower with the leaks.
5.  Never on time.
6.  Mixed native soil and landscape rocks.  
7.  Totally non professional.

Beware doing business with David Ferch, owner of Dakota Maintenance. He was supposed to renovate my front yard landscape and install a 3 piece modular paver system at my front entry and from my front gate to back patio. I found out the hard way that this contractor has little or no experience in pave installation and did not understand the random pattern of 3 piece modular paver system. Furthermore, he used the wrong type of sand for paver base and did not have any compaction equipment. He was not planning on doing any excavation to make pavers come out level with front yard. His services were terminated. The paver manufacturer recommended a qualified installer and my job got completed. It is a beautiful and very professional job.  BUYER BEWARE WITH DAKOTA MAINTENANCE. They are not even a one star!

We also had them as a Landscaping crew for approx. a month then fired them, for poor service. Does not deliver on his promises. He talks a good game, but can't walk the walk. Very poor service.
