Sometimes great things come in smaller packages. Rupert's just that…read more This is a small family outfit that operates with a great deal of ethics and competence. My elderly mother is a resident of St. Louis Park and was confronted with a serious land dipping which lead to terribly large sink hole, unleveled landscaping, improper relief and consequential water drainage issues. This issue happened over the past 20 years. I had stepped into help mom find a contractor to fix the issues. We solicited 4 different bids and wound up choosing these folks. Rupert's bid was not the lowest one in the group. They were in the middle. But the owner Jake impressed me so much with his candor and attentiveness to what we wanted done that he was impossible to overlook. We were also clearly not a big money-making gig for Rupert's. They do mostly paver patio work and stylish retaining walls. But our issue was something Jake said they could address and they were able to squeeze us into an already tight schedule. Jake arrived with a small crew of 3 and finished the job in the amount of time he said the job would take. He used all of the materials and had no remnant soil. He actually saved us some money on the delivery fees by consolidating land materials into one type. Most important, they fixed the issue in my mom's backyard and left our property without any mess. Through it all we were made to feel just as important as any larger account. I have posted a few before and after pictures. If you can get on their calendar, I would recommend Rupert's Landscaping. It's a fair price paid for quality work.

I contacted a few landscaping companies and was referred to Rupert's Landscaping through another…read morecompany, Patio Town. I called to inquire if this company worked with areas of a yard where pavers had shifted over many years and were becoming hazardous to walk on. A third company had over reacted by my needs and kept stopping by when I was not home. Rupert's returned my call, we set up a specific meeting time and the owner Jake came to see the area that needed to be repaired. He suggested different ideas that I might consider and assured me that he could re-use the existing pavers, a significant cost savings for me! Jake and his team of 3 total men would remove the patio and walkway of pavers, reinforce "no shifting" with a border around the whole project, followed up by sweeping with a poly sand to keep pavers in place and weeds out. His team arrived as planned, began to work immediately and explained the steps they would be taking. Throughout the day they were diligent in their work and very knowledgeable of how to complete the task safely and efficiently. The project was completed in one day thanks to the heart and soul of these three individuals. Jake suggested my using a dark shade of mulch that would make the patio and walkway stand out....great idea as I have already had three neighbors ask for his company phone number. Great experience and I will continue to recommend Rupert's for landscaping needs and quality of their work. I would give them a rating of 5 out of 5! Barb H. St Louis Park, MN

Instead her worker guys cleared out all of the plants I've cultivated - that needed time to reseed and also provide shelter to bees and bunnies over the winter. The workers were very considerate - and actually did an excellent job if a perfectly tidy yard is what you want. But it is not what I asked for. I still recommend their service. They were really responsive in timing, and thorough and skilled in the job. But be sure to get confirmation if there are certain needs you have asked for.

I regret that we were not able to fully collaborate at the time, I know that Linda and her team would have done an amazing job. I would fully recommend reaching out to her if you have any landscaping needs.

We used Jake Schneider to build a retaining wall and a complete overhaul on our backyard. A VERY…read moreexpensive project lasting two summers. They built a nice wall, and steps, cleaned up fine, and landscaped okay. . 1) The communication and lack of professionalism was astounding. 2) He tried to get us to pay city fees that contractors are responsible for, and backed off only when questioned. Fees costing thousands. 3) Throughout a two year process, the communication was horrible, even though on MULTIPLE occasions we asked for a simple text with weekly updates. We asked for a weekly progress update at least 10+ times. We never received one, and he was unable to communicate with me in person. 4) He was misogynistic and only communicated things my husband even though I was home, and treated me as though I wasn't involved in the project. The lack of respect was insulting. 5) He posted a picture of our home, and address, on Facebook marketplace without our knowledge. He purchased too many rocks, never once communicated this with us, and advertised the rocks on Facebook. We had a young dog sitter staying at the house who was terrified that strange people were driving up and taking rocks from our yard (rocks we paid for and would have used elsewhere in the yard). We had no idea why this was happening. After some calls, this was taken down only at my husbands request and no apology was given. 6) The final invoice was incorrect and he had not kept accurate records of payments. We had to go through our records to show him the error. 7) The work done was fine work but I could never recommend Schneiders Landscaping to anyone based upon the way the company is run. 8) Followup has been non existent. He promised information regarding plant care and ongoing maintenance that we've never received. 9) I later learned my neighbor had used them only to have issues over billing and a lack of proper follow through.
