Great experience overall. They listened to exactly what we wanted, were efficient, professional and just really nice!

We needed a new walkway to accommodate our accessibility needs. The 3 Bears crew did a beautiful job and has made our lives much easier!

Horrible. Owner is rude and has anger issues. Have spent thousands with them and was a total waste. Everything they planted died. No knowledge of appropriate plants and shrubs for this climate. Snow service was a disaster. Avoid at all costs read more

We used 3 Bears a year ago for our regarding. We really wanted to like them. However, they bearly did any work to help regrade around our house. Then we told them they didn't even do a side of our house. They were apologetic, then charged us just as much to "fix" their miscommunication and work. We ultimately did not get what we wanted and paid more than the original price. It's important for use to shop local, however we will not ever recommend this company. Unfortunate but will go with someone else. read more

Rude, presumptious principal (Brandon Serpette). I had had 3 Bears out in 2021 to have a look at our back garden, which we were planning to overhaul. 3 Bears was eager to take on our project, but we ended up not being ready to proceed with any professional work at that time, and ended up doing a lot of preliminary work ourselves. Fast-forward a year. I reached out to 3 Bears in February 2022 with a thorough description of our backyard project and the vision we had for it, and reminded 3 Bears that they had been out the year before but that we weren't ready to move forward. I explained we were now ready to proceed and kindly requested a meeting. Although I had said NOTHING about budget in my email, Brandon automatically assumed our budget was lower than 20k and responded that this "isn't a type of job that we do" (which, in reality, was basic soft- and hardscaping that the company had wanted to proceed with a year before). I responded to Brandon that our budget was, indeed, 20k+. In his reply, he didn't even acknowledge his incorrect assumption but rather asked when a good time was to speak. I wrote back to suggest a time. Three days later, he responded curtly with a link to book a 15-minute appointment, not addressing me by name or seeming genuinely interested. Brandon doesn't exude the compassion and interest that one would expect of a service company. He is rude, brusque and quite honestly, takes himself too seriously. We have nixed this company and are moving ahead with a different landscape architecture firm. read more

I can't wait to test drive it! We had a very nice patio installed at the very end of last year. Totally satisfied with the results. From start to finish Brandon and the entire crew were prompt, courteous and communicative. Weekly updates helped keep me in the loop as to when my project was coming up 'in the queue. Looking forward to working with them again when we get ready for our next phase! read more

Key Points: Quality work that they stand behind; Excellent communication/customer service; Highly responsive to questions. Details: We used 3 Bears for a 60 foot retaining wall and hillside landscaping along a fairly busy surface street in south Minneapolis. It was a large project and in the end we had an excellent finished result and a great experience with 3 Bears. Yes, they did an excellent job and we have an eye-catching retaining wall with beautiful landscaping, but what really stood out was their customer service and desire to stand behind their work. As in any large landscaping or construction project, you will eventually run in to an unexpected situation. We had a buried stump that hadn't been properly ground out, which created an issue with the length of the retaining wall and the stability of the underlying hillside. Brandon and his crew pushed on to complete the project on time but with a shortened wall. When it was realized that the wall would be shorter than planned, Brandon was great about discussing options on how to use the space while maintaining an appealing appearance. About a month after the project was completed we had gotten a few heavy rains and there was an area of erosion along the north end of the wall. When I talked to Brandon about it he was quick to come out to the house, took a look at the area, and put together a plan to fix the issue. Because it was part of the plan affected by the buried stump, his crew completed the solution without extra charge. That is quality customer service from a company that stands behind their product. We have future projects in mind and will absolutely be using 3 Bears; I highly recommend 3 Bears for your next landscaping project. read more

Brandon and his team did an amazing job with our backyard, taking out an incredible amount of river rock, adding a retaining wall, 2 new gardens and new edging. Brandon was prompt with his initial consultation, gave us an excellent design plan upon request, and left everything clean and tidy upon completion. Quotes were very competitive as well, would highly recommend. read more

My experience with Brandon and his services was just ok. The patio turned out good but all the shrubs and perennials planted around my home were of poor choice and have barely survived. They chose plants for full sun but planted in full shade. A few larger shrubs and a hydrangea tree were planted at an angle. I'm trying to correct with some wooden posts. For almost $18k in services I was disappointed in the quality of my design and overall end result. read more

I hired 3 Bears to clean out our gutters on house and garage. I quickly received a quote upon initial inquiry and scheduling took place shortly thereafter. The crew completed the task rapidly and professionally, without any debris left behind in the gutters or on the ground. I'd hire them again. read more

Highly recommended - our yard has never looked better! I love supporting a local business, and Brandon is friendly, helpful and very professional. read more

Excellent price and efficient work on tearing out a concrete sidewalk around the house and putting in a mulch path with stepping stones. Also, decided on a well constructed raised garden bed with mulched landscaping surround. Team is very respectful, kind, and efficient. I heard about 3 Bears through word-of-mouth and would highly recommend landscaping work with them. read more

I used 3 Bears this past winter for snow removal. Service was good, the crew was fast and efficient, and didn't skimp and take shortcuts like others I've used have. One time, probably the only BIG snow we had this winter I didn't get serviced in the morning and called to check that I hadn't been forgotten. Brandon apologized and explained that they'd had equipment issues but would be by soon, and they were. I was ok, as I can work from home. I've now asked him for an estimate on a patio and some consulting work on the rest of my lawn. He's pleasant and professional to work with and I recommend them. read more

Brandon and the 3 Bears crew finished a patio for us recently and we couldn't be happier with the finished project. Brandon was great to work with and the project was started on schedule and finished within a few days. We'll happily work with 3 Bears again in the future! read more

Fantastic experience working with the 3 Bears team. They helped walk us through our vision of an eco-friendly, permeable patio and walkways to make our yard more functional, water free and beautiful. Everyone was easy to work with, gave good updates and got the work done quickly. read more

I've had 3 Bears for both yard maintenance and projects, and for snow removal. Have been especially pleased with their responsiveness.

We used 3 Bears to put in a small patio and do some landscaping in our backyard. They did an excellent job and are highly recommended. Brandon is a pleasure to work with. He had some good ideas and suggestions to make the project come together and we couldn't be happier with the results. Lots of our neighbors have used them as well-nice that they are independent and local! read more

I had 3 Bears re-grade my back yard and install a patio. Brandon and his crew was a pleasure to work with. He pointed out potential issues as we went along and also made a helpful design suggestion even though it meant redoing some of his work. Would highly recommend. read more

Nice work. Nice management. We use 3bears for lawn maintenance. They show up, do a good job, clean up, and are nice to deal with.

I called the three bears crew to get plowed and boy they didn't disappoint. Three burly dudes showed up and completed the task rapidly and professionally. Brandon and the boys were a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend! read more
