I hired Marty in 2015 following a rain storm that left a significant amount of standing water in my basement. It was not due to a drain backup and I was unsure what I needed to do. Marty was recommended to me by a mutual acquaintance because he is a landscaper and also has experience with basement water issues. I was told he could at least determine what the problem and potential solution may be. He identified some significant water drainage issues around my house that I would not have noticed myself. I hired Marty to re-grade the soil around the perimeter of my house and install drainage systems to draw the water away from the house. I have not had any water in my basement since! Marty was very professional, informative, and courteous. He demonstrated his extensive knowledge in landscaping, not just for aesthetics, but also pragmatics, both verbally in conversation and through the ultimate test, the end result of his work. I would highly recommend Marty for your landscaping needs, be it aesthetic or to protect your home. He is honest, hard working, and knows what he is doing. read more

We highly recommend Professional Gardener & Lanscape Services, LCC. Marty is amazing at what he does and easy to work with. Last season many jobs to complete. We had him re-rock our landscaping beds around the house, he created a small paver area for our trash and recycling cans on the side of the house, pruned and thinned trees around our property which all revitalized our overgrow flowerbeds. He suggested replacing the dated edging around our rock landscaping beds, and most importantly cleaned out and cut back the huge overgrown area around the retention pond in our backyard. This was no easy task and Marty was up for the many tasks around our house! We look forward to working with him in the near future for more home improvements! read more

Marty is exceptionally knowledgeable about Midwest gardening (he's not just a landscaper) and has wonderfully creative ideas about landscape design. He designed and installed a smallish bed along my house that looked spectacular and fit perfectly with my other garden elements. Marty also did regular pruning and thinning of trees and shrubs (my crabapples have never looked better!), mulched and edged, installed a stepping stone path, and cleaned up for fall. His attention to detail is unparalleled and he always keeps things cleaned up well. Marty is also just a nice guy to work with, so we spent lots of time talking about gardening in general. read more

Marty the owner is a great guy with a wealth of knowledge. My wife and I contract him to install a drainage system for our gutters in order to alleviate water issues in our crawl space. Marty was very professional and kept us updated throughout the project. We were given a specific breakdown of costs and timeframe for completing the project. Marty was also flexible and listened to our ideas on how we would like the project done. The best part, is that we now have a proper drainage system that controls water around of house and adds value to our property. read more

Marty transformed our yard and upped our curb appeal in a big way. We wanted something more modern and easy to maintain; incorporating some existing plants (including a special Japanese Maple tree) while adding color and variety to the landscape. He's so knowledgeable about plants and their culture and his design really hit the mark. We love the change in bedlines, the plant choices, and all the compliments we receive now! Looking forward to our next project. read more

Highly recommend, Marty is easy to work with and knows his stuff. Needed help in front and back yards. He installed professional black plastic edging around the backyard garden, transplanted and planted perennials, terminated weeds, moved and spread mulch around the backyard perennial bed, pruned/thinned ornamental trees, trimmed front boxwood hedge, and top-dressed the landscape beds around the house with additional stone. read more
