I have a fairly big yard with a lot of stuff that needs trimming and sculpting, and they buzz through it quickly but carefully. Everything always looks clean and neat when they are done. I wouldn't call anyone else to take care of my yard. Thanks!!

I can't say enough good things about the service provided by Guillermo these last 3 to 4 years. We…read morehave definitely seen a huge improvement in our lawn, our trees, plants and shrubs since he started doing our spring and fall cleanup and extra planting. We have also developed a working relationship and found him to be very knowledgeable about landscape design and honestly this is one hard-working man, he never stops moving! We have many friends and neighbors who commented on how good our house and yard looks, and his prices have been really reasonable.

Lots of over grown "junk" trees, a "composting" area that was basically a dumping area, shrubs severely overgrown, etc, etc........ they provided a very fair bid, showed up as scheduled and went above and beyond what I expected. Enables me to now enjoy my outdoor spaces, add thoughtful plantings and receive so many thank you compliments from my neighbors for improving the property and everyone's view. They are trustworthy, hardworking and will do what they say they will do!! Highly recommend and would use them again without a doubt.

This is the best landscape company I've ever found, bar none. Josh is easy to work with and the…read morewhole crew is polite and ridiculously hard-working. They communicate well with each other too. Also, I've never seen a landscape company clean up so completely. We had a big, complicated project that got started, canceled, changed, restarted, changed again, and added to. And through the whole thing they were real pros. Best of all, the yard ended up looking fantastic. We were so happy with the results, we hired them to do maintenance too.

Twin Orchards Nursery is a hidden gem for both serious and casual gardeners and landscapers…read more Their nursery is located on nearly 3 acres in a residential area of Shorewood (near Lake Minnetonka). The owners and operators are Alan and Jerod, who are experts in their craft, but also very down-to-earth. They have been in business for more than 30 years. While the great bulk of their revenue comes from their commercial clients, they opened to the retail public several years ago. It amazes me how passionate they are to serve and educate the public. In other words, they don't view the individual retail buyers (like me) as "small fish", or as a nuisance. They simply have a great passion for plants, and they want to pass along that passion. The selection of perennials is the best I have seen in the Twin Cities (550 different varieites). Think of it as Bachman's multiplied by a factor of 5 (or more) -- while having prices that are more affordable than Bachman's. The health and quality of their plants is outstanding. A typical 1-gallon perennial plant goes for about $10 right now. While that may be a few dollars more than Home Depot or Lowe's, keep in mind you are gaining access to varieties of perennials that you won't find at those stores. Plus, you are getting fuller, more developed, healthier plants. Beyond their expansive selection of perennials, Twin Orchards also sells a fine selection of flowering shrubs, herbs, and vegetables. Twin Orchards maintains an excellent website and Facebook page. They offer an annual catalog on their website, and they also maintain a plant availability spreadsheet online that is updated throughout the season. * I should mention that I have zero relation to the team at Twin Orchards. I am just a very satisfied customer.

We hired Bill to tear out our old concrete patio and lawn and install pavers, new sod along with…read moreall new sidewalks. This was done very late in the fall of 2019. We did not have a chance to access the work, as it snowed shortly after he completed the job. Come spring 2020 we noticed that a large portion of the pavers have settled towards the house, which causes the water to run towards our home. The reason for the landscaping in the first place was because of this issue, which is now worse than it was before.   As for the sod, the yard was never graded and fill was not laid appropriately so the sod could grow. We are left with a very rough yard of dead sod. The only thing that was done properly was the sidewalks, which Bill subcontracted out. The sub contractor came to our residence twice asking for payment even though Bill was paid in full. The sub contractor still has not been paid. 01002339275-00 9 We paid over $18,000 for this landscaping and are left with and absolute disaster. We had several other landscaping companies come to assess and to have the work done properly which we already paid Bill to do will cost at least $7,000. Mind you when we told the other companies what we paid for the work Bill attempted to complete they were astonished and said we were severely overcharged. We have requested Bill pay for us to have the landscaping done properly. We are not asking for reimbursement of the entire amount, but just what we will have to pay to have it completed properly. Bill has refused so we have no other recourse than to file suit. In the process of doing so it appears this will not be the first time Bill has been sued. Appears he operated under a different business name and was sued by another individual, as he has several judgments. We would highly think twice before hiring Bill to do any work for you.
