    Aspen Garden & Landscape - Bluestone Retaining Wall

    Aspen Garden & Landscape

    Aspen Landscaping is amazing! From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and…read morestress-free. Eric and Lindsey's creativity and passion truly transformed our yard, and the crew (special shoutout to Sam & Anders!) went above and beyond. If you want a team that really knows landscaping and cares about every detail, Aspen is the one to call!

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.

    Gardening Adventures Perennials - Our nursery

    Gardening Adventures Perennials

    WOW. We stumbled upon Gardening Adventures while driving through Verona on the Friday prior to…read moreMemorial Day weekend. I am just beginning to put in perennial gardens around our house and I can guarantee that we will be coming back to these lovely ladies' gardens again and again. The prices are fantastic, the plants are gorgeous and healthy, and I love that you can see everything they sell beautifully displayed in their mature backyard gardens. Knowing that the wide variety of plants are hardy for our weather is also fantastic. Even better than that, this is a business that sprouted from two friends' love of gardening. We first stopped at Karen's gardens, where she sells mostly trees, shrubs, lilies and a variety of flowering plants. After some very helpful discussion about what we were looking for, she helped us decide to go with a couple of white pines and a Thuja Giant Arbor Vitae for screening. I also picked up the first of what will be many of their gorgeous day lilies. She then directed us to Sharon's garden for hostas and ground cover (she also has most of the grasses and some other flowering plants). Sharon walked us around her mature gardens and helped us chose flowering ground cover for a difficult location. We went with two types and we also picked up a Clematis and four types of hosta. They said their inventory had been hit pretty hard after their big sale on the weekend prior. I really look forward to seeing what things look like before that sale, because it seemed to me like they had TONS of plants to choose from. There's really not much more that I can ask for than to buy from local, knowledgeable people doing what they love. If you're at all interested in planting perennials in the Madison area and haven't checked out Gardening Adventures, you're missing out.

All plants are acclimated to Wisconsin weather before being sold I maintain an inventory of 3000 to 4000 plants. My ever changing inventory reflects my gardens needs of renewal and division. Most of the flowers and grasses are sold in one gallon, two gallon, and larger pots. In this economy my prices are more than competitive. Advice is always free!

    Maple Leaf - Bag of sticks that Maple Leaf did not pick up.

    Maple Leaf

    (36 reviews)

    I have used Maple Leaf for spring cleanup for several years and was happy with their work. This…read moreyear (2026) I was sadly disappointed in the quality of their work. Sticks were not picked up, drain pipes were not put back in place, and nobody came to the door when the crew was done to ask if we were satisfied. The bag of sticks I had to pickup is shown in the photo (not easy on my 77 year-old back that has had 2 surgeries).

    I waited several weeks before leaving this review to see if my sentiments would change. I read all…read morethe reviews before choosing to start my project with Maple Leaf and I took note of multiple negative reviews commenting on property damage and poor communication. I wrongly gave the benefit of the doubt to this longstanding and sizable business. In hindsight, I have regret for not listening to the feedback of others. I'm providing as much objectivity to this review as possible to help protect others from experiencing what I did. I worked directly with Joel (the owner) to make a plan to landscape a hill in the front of my house, where there are three fully-grown maple trees. These trees are in excellent health and are extremely valuable to me, as it is not possible to replace trees of this size. I made it clear numerous times in person and by email that I was concerned about the risk of damage to the trees, especially the roots. I received multiple reassurances that the roots would be fine and that the degree of excavating would be minimal. Several weeks after signing the contract, we still had not heard back from the company on a date for the work. I called several times and was assured that I would receive a call back when it was scheduled. When I noticed Diggeer's Hotline in my yard, it was obvious that work was being planned in the near future. I called the company again and was told that they would get back to me. I never received a phone call (although they allege that they attempted to call me once, the evening before they arrived). The next morning, my wife called me at work to inform me that a person in a bulldozer was tearing up the front hill. Nobody rang the doorbell or attempted to call us to let us know that work was starting. I promptly spoke with the worker on the phone and emphasized that it was essential that none of the roots be damaged. He informed me that he had already destroyed some "pretty big roots". In an effort to try to mitigate further damage, I paid out one of my coworkers to cover me mid-shift and rushed home. The damage was already done. The attached photos show multiple large roots that were shredded or transected right next to the trunks. Furthermore, he managed to gouge the trunks of two of the trees. The hydraulic equipment was left on my lawn over the weekend. After the first day, I spent three entire days working alongside the crews to ensure that the project did not cause additional damage. I dug holes, moved dirt in wheelbarrows, and placed rocks. Even while I was present, one of the workers decided to try to unload a truckload of mulch before removing my $900 tree from the bed. He decided to hold the tree in one hand and the bed in the other as it inverted. Unsurprisingly, he fell out of the bed onto the tree. I was assured that the tree would be okay, and it was planted anyway. I later saw that the trunk of the new tree had completely snapped. Another time, I noticed that the root ball of a planted bush was 3" above the ground. I asked for it to be planted properly and was told it was "good". The worker then stomped on the root ball to unsuccessfully push it farther down. I dug out the bush and planted it properly myself. The damage done was egregious. An assessment by an arborist confirmed what I already suspected, which is that the damage that was done was consequential, and could have destroyed more than 25% of these trees root systems. I had made an extraordinary effort to be proactive and avoid this damage by speaking to Joel multiple times and trying to be home so that I could relay my concerns to the crews before the work started. This nightmare cost me $12,538.78. I was not offered any concession for the extensive damage, the need to involve an arborist, leaving work early, needing to labor myself, or losing sleep over this. The best communication occurred when payment was due, as I received multiple phone calls in a day to pressure me to pay. I've been as objective as possible. Protect yourselves. There are many other options for landscaping. Supporting photos can be found in my accompanying Google review.
