Take the opportunity to grab 'em while you can. When Aspen gets busy, they get VERY busy, and Eric -- I conjecture -- don't quote me -- would need to turn away clients or ask them to go on a waiting list for the following year. Mr. Eric, Ms. Lindsey, and the rest of their brilliant crew have been working on a multi-year project for me putting in hardscape, including grading and, ultimately, changing (soft-scaping) our two acres from lawn to native plants+wildlife flower garden. Eric and crew are experts on native plants. The more I read about "lawns," the more I cringe every time I pass one on the road. Lawns, being non-native plants, they are animal-torturers -- ironically, lawns passively mow down animals. Think of lawns as efficient animal-disposal machines. Do the planet (and your neighborhood) a favor and make your land friendly to critters by insisting on native plants. Native plants and animals evolved together over millions of years, so when one's land doesn't have native plants, wildlife starves, all the way up and down the food-chain. Lawns are gasoline- and water-guzzlers. The lawn industry uses up a humongous amount of petroleum products merely in lawn-mowing. I am a "Gone the Lawn" person now. Lawns are appropriate ONLY under certain circumstances, like one is a croquet fanatic. I never knew that gardening was year-round. April is the month everyone waits for, but planning starts the previous autumn. Eric's physically-demanding season winds down in mid-November, so let him see your plot before the snows hide the land. Autumn is the best time to start brainstorming the design phase for the following April. Eric and crew are not only landscapers but artists.

Crew was very hard working so problem was with management, in my opinion. I delayed in doing a review to see how plantings would do over time. Every day watering was necessary to start. Marigolds did not survive. Should have emerged this spring so they obviously planted annuals instead of what was ordered.

I hired Steve Lesch of Landscape Designs, Inc. to design a landscaping plan for my past two homes…read moreand both times, I was satisfied with the outcome. As a semi-serious gardener, I wanted to avoid the cookie-cutter landscape plans so prevalent in my neighborhood. I was looking to add less common herbaceous perennials and woody ornamentals and Steve was able to deliver that for me in spades. The planning meetings were a two way street - my wife and I had had a clear vision for what we wanted in our gardens which Steve incorporated into his plans. Full disclosure: At times, he can be a bit on the stubborn side, kinda like the landscape design equivalent of the Soup Nazi, but in the end, we got a plan with great color, texture and bio-diversity. I also appreciate that Steve is active participant in many of the Madison-area garden clubs and a frequent speaker that the WPT Garden Expo each February. If you are looking for a unique garden design, I would recommend Landscape Designs without hesitation.

I wanted a master plan that utilized native plants and species that were compatible with the conditions in my yard and were beautiful and easy to maintain. I wanted more privacy and an area of "sanctuary" that incorporated both soft and hardscaping elements. John Gishnock and Formecology provided me with just that: *A beautiful master plan that was generated from John's careful listening and clarifying my vision for the project, how I planned to use the space, the budget I had allowed, and time I would need to devote for ongoing maintenance. *Flexibility in phasing the project and hiring contractors to implement the plan. In my case, Formecolgy installed all softscape features, and some of the hardscape. *The result is beautiful! Overall, I found Formecolgy to be ethical and timely in communication, professional, accurate in estimated cost, highly skilled with great attention to detail, a pleasure to work with, and beautiful results!
