    Terrible. 100% of the work had to be redone and replaced by another Landscaping company at our great expense. 1. We contracted and purchased an NDS underground drainage system. When the second landscaping company came in to redo everything - we discovered that our gutters were simply buried underground and there was in essence NO system in place. Our sump pump had a 10' solid PVC pipe attached to, buried about 2' underground that that ran along the side of our house that simply ended in dirt. No net, clean out, day light, no French drain, no NDS system - nothing. We feel blessed we discovered this or we would have eventually had 4 sink holes in our yard and a sump pump that would have backed up into our home. When we discovered this - it was a mouth dropper. 2. Concrete work was rough. Inexperienced crew. The sidewalk along side our home was not parallel to the house and drifted approximately 12" from back to front. The hand cut expansion joints were "eye balled" and not parallel with each other. The turn of this sidewalk into our patio was at an odd angle - not 45 degrees as per plan - and hard on the eyes. The carriage walk to our street was originally formed "off/unparallel" with the top at 36" width and at the street 34" width. I caught this before they poured. It should have been my warning as to how bad this crew was. 3. The Polymeric sand was installed incorrectly. On every instruction I've seen, paper or web, the critical step #3 states that the excess sand should be removed from the stone with a leaf blower before you wet and activate the polymeric sand or you will stain the stone. This step was not done and yes - all the stones were stained - and it looked awful. The stones looked dirty and oily. The owner of Kelly's Greenscape attempted to clean the stones - but with no success. In addition, sprinklers were set on the newly seeded yard at the same time - not allowing the polymeric sand to "set" properly leaving many places where the sand came out of the joints. 4. The stones originally used in our front stoop were the broken, tossed stones from the two patios. We believe he only order "just enough". It looked awful. Kelly's Greenscape did agree and came to replace "some" of the stones. However, we had a brick pattern using half 4x4 bricks and half 4x8 bricks. In his "redo" he only used 4x8 bricks - not following the grid pattern of the stonework. Between the polymeric sand not applied right and the brick pattern not followed, this was a horrible eyesore right out our front door. 5. The crew did not clean the yard before applying the topsoil and grass seed. After 2 lawn sprinklings, a tremendous amount of gravel surfaced. Most of these stones were 1" in diameter or larger disbursed throughout the job by their trucks and bobcat. All of the planting beddings had the overflow of crushed stone topped with mulch. When I went to garden, I found NO dirt for the plants. 6. The berm was created with mostly waste dirt from the demolition phase. The berm was excessively high and rolled over 12"-18" into my neighbors yard. The crew had not marked the lot line. When they came to correct this problem after the neighbors politely complained to us - they simply "cut" that side of the berm away and refused to lower the berm to an appropriate height or re-sculpt the curve of the berm. 7. I had ordered small Technito Arborvitae and found out from the 2nd Landscapers that what was planted where Techno Arborvitae which would grow large and not to the scale we were looking for. Not only did we verbally complain, we wrote the owner of Kelly's Greenscape a letter at the conclusion of the project stating all that was wrong and what we wanted corrected before we made final payment. He refused and stopped communicating with us. We have had to take Legal action.

    We contracted with Kelly's to install a flagpole for our church. Excellent work and finished in one day. Looks great!

    We had a fantastic experience working with Johnson's Nursery on a recent landscaping project…read more Carrie was patient and very helpful throughout the extended planning process. When we were ready to move forward, she kept everything on track and on schedule. The installation team was excellent--efficient, respectful, and careful to protect our existing lawn during the process. We really appreciated the attention to detail. Johnson's has an impressive selection of native plants, and their deep knowledge of what works best for our yard was invaluable. They provided a detailed presentation with plant info and care instructions, which will be a huge help as we care for the new additions. We're so happy with how everything turned out and will definitely be working with them again on the next phase of our landscape improvements!

They…read morealso make their inventory readily available via the internet, which is great for planning purposes. Some of their prices were on par with others in the area, and some were much higher. We ordered quite a few trees from them this year (and even more from another local nursery). We had money down on trees that were due to arrive within 1-2 months from deposit. As it got closer, they did not notify us the date had changed, so by the time we were notified, others go to come and make a pick before us (instead of picking two from about a dozen, we picked from four). In the end we were happy with our purchases, but they could work out some of the logistics and followthrough with regular customers (we sensed the contractors got a little more attention). Also, I will add that years ago we paid for someone from Johnsons to come and give us ideas for our yard. I think we paid about $150 to get the lamest "sketch", but Johnsons was good about refunding the amount as a credit towards future purchases. It just was a bummer that we wasted time waiting for the person to come out and then a month for them to give us a photo of our yard with some pictures of 2 plants awkwardly pasted over it. If the person had take us seriously, they would have gotten way more business from us. Still, we recommend this place for its large inventory and quality of products.

    We received several quotes from various metro Milwaukee area landscaping companies on a complete…read moreredesign of the landscaping surrounding our home. We had a specific plan that was a bit "outside the box" from what the typical customer is looking for in design and foliage. Our goal was to use only unique native Wisconsin plants that came from nearby nurseries to reduce our carbon footprint, without any shrubs, bushes or evergreens. Also, wanted species that would thrive without the use of chemical fertilizers or herbicides. The representatives from the first 3 landscaping companies that came to look at the project seemed confused and unsure on what we were trying to accomplish. Then we came upon Eco Harmony! I mentioned to Mike that we love to explore the trails at Schlitz Audubon Nature Center and were going for that type of vibe. He followed up with a plan and design we loved. Aside from coming up with a design that matched our vision, what really impressed us was how Mike went out of his way to meet with us at less than convenient hours. I typically don't get home from work until 8PM. Mike met with us several times in the later evening to finalize plans. His patience and easy going approach were much appreciated as well. Highly recommend Eco Harmony!

He and his wife were very responsive and helpful in getting the quoting process and then scheduling completed in a timely manner. Their prices are very reasonable. And he and his team got the job done very quickly, especially considering how many dead branches needed to be cut off that tree. They also did a great job at removing the dead branches from our yard and then chipping them. His crew did a fantastic job at cleaning up the yard after work, not only raking but also blowing out any debris. Very clean work! I would definitely hire these guys again.

I got four quotes from local companies and Red Pine not only provided the most competitive quote, but the person I worked with, Garret Post, was extremely friendly, honest, and professional. He went above and beyond, and offered to complete all the services I required while some other companies said they would not do the stone removal. I was so absolutely impressed with Garret that I immediately recommended Red Pine to a colleague of mine in need of tree services. I am happy to support a business like Red Pine and I will continue to refer their services and use them for myself when needed.
