"We had contracted out with this company for many years for snow removal. Until the last two years they were very good; very prompted and careful. The last two years we were not very satisfied. While previously they would have our sidewalks and driveway done early in the morning, this year we often waited for half a day or a day for the removal. We had asked to be placed high on the priority list as we live near a school. We were concerned with little kids falling (and us getting sued) if they had to navigate the snowy and slippery walks. We called and made this request. They responded but the next snow fall they were again late. In addition, they were not very careful; they damaged the garage door frame and also rode the plow over the

was very knowledgable and made some great suggestions for our lot. The work was done within a reasonable time and exactly as asked. Previous estimates from other companies were more expensive and were not nearly as personable as

Madison Landscapers Reviews

"We first contacted three people for bids and based on the quality of the bid we chose

. What impressed us the most was that they were prompt in returning calls and also developed a plan that was more than the bare minimum we asked for - without being beyond our targeted budget.

was great at helping design the patio to be both functional and look like more than just a square brick patio, suggested several plants, and also suggested areas where we could save on costs. After signing the contract it took ~2-3 weeks for work to start and everything went smoothly. They did a great job and cleaned up the yard very well after all of the work. we've been happily enjoying our yard for the last month - worth every penny."

"It went very well. He came promptly, got here on time, and prepared a drawing of the area. I?m not much of a gardener and I told him that up front; he was sensitive to my priorities. I had a limited budget and I was looking for

appeal. He prepared a suggested solution that came within budget and would accommodate my lack of gardening know-how. He got back with the estimate within 48 hours and he had people here to do the work within a week. The workers that came to do the work were excellent, his recommendations were excellent, and the plantings still look very nice. I was impressed with his work. I was worried at one point because Japanese beetles were shredding one of the plants and he came over within six hours or so to look at it. He told me what remedies were possible and what the outcomes would be. I went with his recommendation to just leave it because the beetles moved on and the plant looked very nice well into the fall. I had one other estimate and

was less ambitious and less expensive. He got the work done within the time frame that I needed it done it. He was very professional. Last summer our street was under construction but he and his crew still showed up and managed to get around it. I had a lot of workers at the house and they were very accommodating in spite of everything and they got it done in a punctual manner. I also really appreciate that they gave me recommendations for another flower bed that I had but couldn?t afford to have professionally landscaped."

did an extensive design for three areas of our back yard and was very responsive to our suggestion of doing it in stages. Area 1 involved repairing a boulder wall to reduce erosion on one side of the yard and placing a rock garden on that slope with new nursery stock. Area 2 involved grading a large area, building up the sides to aid water retention, and installing 60 rain garden plants and some shrubs. Her design was fabulous and we accepted it as submitted. The crew was excellent and

was on site for most of the work. The results are stunning - especially the rain garden! (Area 3 work will hopefully get completed next season - we're adding three raised bed gardens with steps and a walkway from the deck. )"

"I have a contract with them to trim a large hedge twice a summer. They do a great job and clean up everything. Only complaint is that I have to call them to come. It was well into summer last year and they hadn't shown up. Maybe I'm supposed to

them, I'm not sure. I now have them treating a tree for apple scab and so far, so good. They owe me one more visit."

"This is an well-established, locally owned nursery and gardening supply retailer. Their specialty is perennials and native plants, although they also carry a good selection of annuals and indoor plants. They don't have trees or large shrubs, but do carry a selection of small shrubs, including hardy roses. The sales areas are well arranged. Perennials have their own room, and annuals are in an adjoining sections. The mind-boggling perennial collection could be overwhelming, but it is well organized. The perennials are laid out alphabetically by name, and also grouped by light and shade preference. There are (usually) helpful labels to tell you the pros and cons, and special needs, of each plant. This really saves time when you are shopping for plants to fill a particular space. I'm an organic garden enthusiast and shop there every year for plants, mulches, and miscellaneous garden supplies. However, if you use conventional gardening methods, they have the normal range of fertilizers and pesticides, and can recommend appropriate products for your situation. They also sell gardening books and yard decor items, but the major emphasis is on plants. I have been completely satisfied with their products and service. Compared to the large chain and big box stores that sell plants and gardening supplies,

prices can be somewhat higher. Their value comes from the expertise of the people there, and from the wide selection of native plants that are perfect for rain gardens, prairie planting and other forms of "green" landscaping. The staff are knowledgeable and can either answers your questions, or refer you to another source of information on the rare occasions when they don't know the answer. The location is an unglamorous frontage road on

's West Beltline near the intersection with

Drive. It can be easy to miss this spot if you are driving by, but it is worth your while to stop there if you are looking for a reliable source of native plants."

"Very professional, very nice people. The only problem was the price. Delivered plans on time and to spec, but we chose not to have them do the implementation."

"This is the letter I sent to

after the entire debacle: October 28, 2009 To whom it may concern: I like to report my disappointment in the project management and customer service skills of your employee,

Holmstadt. The project included the removal of sod and dirt and laying/packing of gravel in order for me to

a patio and walkway consisting of pavers in my backyard. Prior to

?s arrival for the estimate, I had staked out the proposed area with small poles and spray painting the ground. When he arrived to draw up the estimate I explained to him my intentions, the size and height of pavers, the fact that I was planning on placing a retaining wall parallel to the back of my garage (which was also staked out), the dimensions of the patio, etc. What I received for an initial estimate only had one sentence that said the project would be done in two phases; 1) to put an initial

of gravel down so that I could put in a small retaining wall on one side of the patio and 2) to come back and fill it in. I had numerous phone and email conversations about the lack of details in his estimate. Even after my requests, he never included the actual dimensions of the patio and walkway on the estimate, instead he said the square footage was good enough. He never wrote down the size of the pavers, although he asked me 3 different times the height of them. He did not indicate the preferred slope away from the house although we spoke about that as well as something that I wanted to make sure was done correctly. So, if he never writes these things down, how can he ever be able to communicate them to the team that is supposed to be working on the project? Due to the fact that he had not written anything down, I had discussed with him that I wanted to be at home when the first work crew arrived so that I could explain everything to them (maybe they would listen since

didn?t). Once the date was set for the project to begin,

called me. I told him that I had a meeting the workday morning that started at 8:30am so I needed to leave promptly by 8:15am. He replied, ?Oh, no problem, I?m sure we?ll be there in time?. I received a phone call from

at 8:10am the workday morning. He nonchalantly stated, ?the guys are just about done packing up and with traffic, we?ll arrive around 8:30 or so.? Once again, I reminded him that I had to leave in 5 minutes and all he could say was ?oh.? I

?t like being told something just because ?it was what the customer wanted to hear.? He obviously did not write my time constraint down nor did he seem too concerned. I was able to run back home during the middle of the day and talk to the work crew.

had not mentioned anything to them about the slope because when I spoke to the work crew, they were planning on something different. In addition, in order to do their work, they removed the stakes marking the original dimensions, which was expected. We also discussed the distance of the planned wall parallel to the back of the garage. They did their job and everything was fine. The next time a different crew showed up. I get a call from

asking why the small retaining wall stopped five feet from the back of the garage. I remarked (as I had remarked on numerous occasions), ?I told you and staked it out that I was planning on building a wall parallel to the back of the garage at that point.? Once again, his answer was ?oh?. In the meantime, the pavers had been delivered and one was obviously pulled out by the crew for use (which was fine). The next crew was obviously not aware of the dimensions of the planned patio, walkway, nor of the concept of putting the pavers flush with the top of the small retaining wall. Once they left, the crushed stone patio was 1 foot too short in one dimension, 3 feet too wide and 2 inches too high. The pavers would be sticking 2 inches above the top of the retaining wall and about 4 inches above the top of my lawn instead of being flush with the lawn. In addition, the walkway was supposed to be 3 feet wide, the crushed stone is over 5 feet wide. The walkway was also too high, the crushed stone is even with the soil ? I still need to place ? inch sand plus 3.25 inch pavers on top. I

?t want people tripping on the walkway and my patio. Therefore, I have had to work over 10 hours to create the correct dimensions of the patio, remove the extra crushed gravel from the surface and re-level/slope the patio and walkway. I have about 6 cubic yards of extra gravel now piled in my driveway. In addition, the amount of leveling sand that was left is far from sufficient and I need to purchase more. (If you

?t know the dimensions, how do you know how much leveling sand is required?) Since ?completion? has

called to ask how it went or stopped over? NO. If you are going to be a project manager, you should be able to listen, write things down and communicate it to the crew(s).

was ineffective in all of these areas. I will be posting this review on Angie?s list as well hoping that no one else needs to be served in the same inexcusable way. "

"They were the ones who originally did landscaping design for our yard. The quality of mulch that they deliver is very, very good and if you order it within a certain time period you get a free delivery. "
