Wight’s Landscaping

My review is in agreement with a number of others, who feel Wight’s rates a «0» when it comes to communication. After trying for months to simply get a bid, we’ve given up. Our efforts in calling and writing have fallen on deaf ears. We’re done!

Thumbs way up! We had Thadd and his crew build us a new fence, and a matching style mailbox stand for out front. Thadd was responsive, with great communication (email and in person) and quick scheduling and turnaround time. Best part? They actually showed up when they said they would. The work was completed when they said it would be. And the work was done to standards they promised. Anyone who’s worked with home improvement projects and contractors before knows how rare that can be. If you want great work done with no surprises, give them a call.

I had high hopes contacting Wight’s after reading reviews here and on
. I contacted them regarding a trio of projects — a retaining wall, a deck, and a fence. Thadd responded quickly, and made an appointment to visit. He rescheduled once, then showed up for the 2^nd appt. We looked things over, he made some suggestions, and he promised to get back with his estimate in a couple days.
10 days later, I hadn’t heard a thing — so I reached out again. «Entire family has been sick,» he said. Then told me his construction manager only wanted to do a subset of the work, and he’d get back to me in a few days with the estimate.
Well, that was a month ago. Never heard back from him via email or phone. I know it’s a busy season for contracting — and this one particularly so — but the lack of response of any sort is unprofessional. I won’t look to him for any future work.

Thadd and his crew resurfaced my 300 sq ft deck and built out new set of stairs with Timber Tech Pecan decking. His crew was very friendly, informative and created an amazing deck for me. Whenever I had a question about the deck, its progress, etc I emailed Thadd and he was prompt and thorough with his responses. In addition to the amazing work his team did, each day they would clean up all of the scraps, tools, etc and leave the job site clean. I can’t stress enough how great of a service and customer experience they provided me. I will use Wight Landscaping again for future renovations and new creations for my home.

We got connected to Thadd from Wright Landscaping through a recommendation from a friend, and are glad we did! Thadd and his crew resurfaced our 300 sq ft deck and built out new set of stairs with Timber Tech Pecan decking. His crew was very friendly, informative and created an amazing deck for us!
Whenever my boyfriend had a question about the deck, its progress, etc he emailed Thadd and he was prompt and thorough with his responses. In addition to the amazing work his team did, each day they would clean up all of the scraps, tools, etc and leave the job site clean.
We can’t stress enough how great of a service and customer experience they provided us. We will for usre use Wight Landscaping again for future renovations and new creations for my home.

Thadd and his crew are reliable and consistently do a great job on my lawn. Their price is very affordable and I highly recommend their lawn service. I’ve been a customer for over 6 months and will continue to take advantage of this top notch business.

This review is not based on services provided. I emailed to ask for a bid for a project at my house and was set up to meet the next week. We met at my house and talked about the project, which is in the $ 25 000 range (based on other bids). Ultimately it took over 2 weeks to hear back and eventually was told that they are too busy and can’t do a project in my location (NE Seattle). No bid was given. Next time please don’t waste my time off work on a weekday if you can’t or won’t do the project. Decline the job up front.

Thadd and his crew did an AMAZING job on our new deck. (The old one was scary to walk on!)
Wight’s Landscaping’s quote was reasonable (and the second lowest of the four companies we interviewed for the job) and Thadd was great about accommodating add-​ons to the job when we all realized my husband and I had different project scopes in mind. His crew was professional and fully cleaned the job site. Even better, they were able to fit us in right away and the project was done within a week.
Wight’s Landscaping also gave our yard a big «fluff and buff» makeover, and at a discounted price since the crew was already on site. Our yard and house look fantastic now!

Thadd and the guys were great to work with from start to finish. The quote came in where I felt comfortable. They got the materials here on time. They were a good crew. The deck project encompassed repainting the railings and replacing all the boards with Trexx. There was a lot of water damage and sagging. It is now solid, safe and I can use it for years to come. I liked them so much, I asked them to come back and give me a quote for some actual landscaping :)

I recently hired Wights Landscaping to install a cedar fence in my backyard. I had obtained bids from 3 different landscaping companies and decided to go with Wights Landscaping because a.) I liked reading the positive reviews on Unilocal,b.) Thad got back to me right away via e-​mail, c.) their prices are reasonable, and d.) I liked the quality of their work, based on pictures posted on their website and Unilocal.Thad sent a two man crew out to install the fence. His team was extremely professional, friendly, and got the work done in 1.5 days (ahead of schedule!). When they were done, they cleaned up any remaining debris using a leaf blower. I highly recommend Wights Landscaping for fence installations and would not hesitate to hire them again for future landscaping projects!

I was looking for a landscape company to recreate my small back yard. It required some demo and excavation in preparation for the next phase. I searched for landscape companies that did this kind of work. I checked the reviews and found this company to have good reviews. Look no further I thought. I called up and made an appointment for Thad to come out to view the site. I left work early in excitement and waited, he failed to show. I called and Thad answered, he was apologetic and we rescheduled. He once again failed to make the appointment. We rescheduled again with Thad’s assurance he would make it. Thad sent Gabe to the appointment. We went over the plan and Gabe assured me he would have an estimate to me in a few days. As the days turned into weeks I got the message… they were not going to get back to me.
Its a shame this company didn’t respond to me. Even if the job was too much for them. Gabe said they were a small company but the job was just what they do.
I had plenty of work for them with extra work after they had done the first phase. I will not be recommending this company unless you want to waste time setting up appointment after appointment.

Our family has been working with Thad Wight for seven years and have found that he is an honest, can do, results oriented entrepreneur. We have almost an acre of land that Thad has meticulously maintained for us. From the clearing of brush to the building of raised vegetable beds we have always been more than satisfied with the results. If we ever have any problems Thad resolves them immediately. We would highly recommend Wight’s Landscaping.

Thad was prompt to respond to my e-​mail and visit my property. A week later, two guys were working on my project. The workers were easy to communicate with and worked fast. I would use them again.

I have used Wight’s landscaping two times so far. First, to build a retaining wall in the front yard and then again to do some landscaping in the backyard. Both times I was extremely impressed with the quality of the work. In addition, the price was similar or lower than others I have tried but with much higher quality results.
I will definitely use Wight’s landscaping for future projects!

This review is a bit overdue as Thad and team finished the work in my yard several months ago.
I had a 3 part project in my yard:
1. clear out the brush and weeds on a reasonably large hill that have been taking over for the past several years
2. extend the fenced in area to support my daughter’s new puppy desire
3. re-​landscape the hill from #1 with an attractive, low-​maintenance solution
I had clear ideas of what I wanted for #1 and #2, but was open to suggestions for #3, although I did have some general preferences. I solicited bids from a few local contractors (all highly rated on Unilocal) and went with Thad because he was significantly cheaper and more excited about the possibilities of what could be done.
Thad and his team started the work on #1 and #2 while putting together a proposal for how to re-​landscape. The plan was detailed and came with a firm estimate along with an explanation of why he was suggesting the various plants and how they would end up looking as they matured.
I would post the before and after pictures in the review if I could, but they are on the Wight’s website.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the result. The work always came in right on budget, the team always showed up when they said they would, and made sure to clarify any details that either weren’t clear or I hadn’t thought of.

Sometimes you have to look at your yard and say really, is it even worth my time? I decided it was just too much for me and unless your having a blast pulling weeds i would call Thad over at Wight’s landscaping. He took care of pruning back bushes, mowing the lawns, edging them pristinely. Picking up fallen leaves, weeding and even taking away all the debris. It was fast, efficient, and his team was incredibly kind, courteous and worked quickly and expertly. I did not regret hiring them and i’m posting this so others can experience the stress free experience i did.

5 stars. Easily. I wish all companies I worked with were this great.
Thad and his crew were outstanding. He worked with my wife to come up with the perfect choices for our back yard. They removed this awful sandbox our house had when we bought it and restored the landscaping in the front to it’s original intent. Our house looks a million times better thanks to Wight’s Landscaping.
It also looks like we spent a million dollars. But we didn’t. Not even close! Thad’s final bill to us was almost exactly what he quoted. (It was a little over due to the last minute sandbox removal work we asked him to do so the overage was expected). It was completely reasonable and worth every penny.
There is no question that we will be keeping these guys for our future landscaping needs.

Thad and his crew finished the yard, and it looks great! Our house was a new construction, so a lot of fill and leveling had to happen in the back yard. Once again the crew was quick and professional and were willing to tweak things as they worked to make me happy.
I can’t recommend these guys enough, especially given the troubles I’ve seen my neighbors deal with.

With my parents getting old and having health issues taking care of their own lawn is no longer something on their priority list. They’ve thought about having someone to do the basic lawn mowing and yard works for years but have never found the one that they trust or liked. With my recently luck finding things on Unilocal,they decided to give it a go with some skepticism.
When they contacted other companies previously, some didn’t take it seriously since its not exactly your revamp the whole back yard job order. One company actually had the nerve to come out, mow 1 row down the lawn, and then left w/​out even a phone call or any notification or explanation. That was after a price for the job has been agreed by both parties. So you can see why my parents were a bit comprehensive when I told them to give Thadd a call. Little did I know my suggestion was possibly the best thing that’s ever happened to them. Not only did Thadd give them a very reasonable price, the workers were very speedy n professional in a almost ninja like way. It sure was nice coming home to a fresh lawn n clean driveway. You couldn’t possibly tell that they’ve been here other than the freshly cut grass or the cleaner yard.
Now that my parents have this problem solved, they’ve had more time and energy freed up for more important things. I would highly recommend him to anyone else needing any type of landscaping work, big or small.
