We contracted with Friedges two years ago to install two large areas in our .6 acre backyard. The builder left these two areas free of sod so Friedges installed fabric and several inches of river rock as well as nine 7 ft spruce trees. They were very careful to not mangle the new sod. One tree did not survive the first winter and they replaced it with an equivalently sized spruce. All nine trees are thriving. I watched them dig the holes for the root balls and know that they gave these trees plenty of room. They put shredded hardwood mulch with preemergent weed control around each tree and they've stayed mostly weed free. The edging around each rocked area has plenty of anchors and there's been no heaving after two years. read more

After speaking to no less than eight (8) different vendors, enter Friedges Landscaping & Jim. I knew from the first conversation with Jim on the phone, they were different. For starters, Jim was more thorough & informative than his competitors. He took the time to walk me through all the particulars & answer all my questions. Shortly thereafter, Jim came out and inspected our yard. He drew up a landscape plan for us & provided a detailed quote. I found Friedges pricing to be extremely competitive & fair (much less expensive than their competition). We ended up doing in-ground sprinklers & sod on about 1/3 acre lot. They did it right, trucking in fresh topsoil & throughly grading the lot. We added a 4' rock border around the house, and seven (7) blue spruce pine in the back - about 6' foot each. We also did a boulder wall & a nice manicured area in the front with plantings. Their team & installers were great and the end result was excellent. They even left me a plan & schematic detailing all the sprinkler zones & where the heads were located. Needless to say we're extremely pleased with the whole experience. Friedges & Jim are professional, timely & all around great landscapers. My favorite part is I have had no less than three neighbors complement my yard. I would highly recommend Friedges! read more

This establishment is very rude and the service was just down right awful. Would not recommend for your landscaping needs.

Although the service may be good, and they have a large selection of products, they will try to steal your money! They will overestimate how much of their product that you will need. They told me to get 9 cubic yards of mulch, and at the end of the project I had 3 cubic yards left! Worst of all, I couldn't return it! Others have told me the same thing has happened to them! read more

Purchased bulk mulch and had it delivered. It was delivered early in the day but had several small rocks in it. They must use the same trucks for both rock and mulch deliveries. Also ran out so drove there to pick up bagged mulch. They do not have the exact same color in bags which is unfortunate but it is close enough that I don't think most people will notice. The biggest issue I have is that their bagged mulch has a definite odor to it almost like manure. Really hoping it dissipates in a couple days! read more

This company was used by my City for restoration after a road reconstruction project. I was left with a "trashed 1/3 of my lawn...corner lot. They did hydroseeding and watering (over watering) and results are awful. Their contract includes them coming back now to try to get some grass but based on their initial results and interaction with some of their workers I will be hiring my own company to "restore" my turf and have asked that Friedges not do any more work on my lawn. They are that bad. read more

Had an appointment at noon today with Jim to look at an area of our yard that had drainage issues and was looking for some suggestions. He was very helpful, gave us a fair quote and said although they were pretty booked since our job was small they could fit us in tomorrow. As he was leaving he said if possible he would get his crew to my house this afternoon to get the job done if they wrapped up their other project for the day early. Arrived back home a few hours later to Seth and his crew working on the backyard like discussed. Had one concern which I addressed with Seth, he called Jim for clarification and handled the issue without any problems. He was so kind as to assure me that it was an easy fix. The crew knocked out our project in no time and it looks great! Thank you so much for getting this all done so quickly. I can now let me dog our into my yard without fear of her covering herself in mud! read more
