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.

Colin provided a comprehensive quote with a few different options. The final price was very reasonable. He is very knowledgeable and communicated the condition and options clearly. I can't say enough about the crew that did the work. They were like a fine tuned machine. It was obvious they were all experienced climbers. The way they worked together was very impressive and reassuring of their safety standards. Again, their communication was thorough and much appreciated. The billing and payment process was easy to understand and very easy. Abby was great to work with! I highly recommend CTC for any tree trimming work, large or small.

We had a very drawn out experience trying to work with Blue Iris last year. Taylor is a very…read morecordial and friendly person but professionally his communication was poor and we're only becoming more disappointed in our landscaping over time. Our project was delayed by at least six months over the course of last year and several of the aspects we discussed were never completed (such as removing the dead brambles after spraying with Roundup, which was something we initially discussed avoiding as part of the project). We recently discovered a large cache of stones that had been abandoned by the crew after losing a full day of work getting a piece of machinery stuck in our yard. There are still large ruts in the turf where the skidsteer was stuck, those were never repaired. We paid full price to Taylor for what I feel is less than a fully completed project. In fact, I fear we may have overpaid by a significant margin. Some of what was completed is pretty nice (e.g. a retaining wall that looks good, although shaped differently than originally discussed). Taylor seems to do very little of this work himself, instead subcontracting out to others. Perhaps this is the issue with how the projects at Blue Iris get completed. As I mentioned before I enjoyed talking with Taylor, he seems knowledgable and very friendly, but the work product that's now part of our home is not something we can take pride in.

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.

We highly recommend Joe Hanauer and his firm, Landscape Architecture, for hardscape landscape…read moreprojects. We had met with a half dozen other firms regarding replacement of a deteriorated, timber-lined hillside path to the lakefront. There were significant challenges due to slope, established trees, and limited site access. We also wanted the new path to be integrated and consistent with the existing landscape. At our initial meeting with Joe, we were impressed by his enthusiasm, creativity, and attention to details. We worked with him for about six months to refine the design, address permitting issues and select materials. Joe was always responsive to requests, offered constructive recommendations and enhanced the project design. Beyond replacing the path, we added a patio and seating area. The project took four weeks to complete in the fall of 2023. Joe's crew was exemplary - they were talented craftsmen - expert hardscape installers who worked hard all day and were mindful of neighbors' concerns - which were very few. The project was completed on time and on budget. We are pleased to have worked with Joe and his Landscape Architecture team and with the completed project.

Joe and his crew modified the existing landscape and added several touches of there own- what a world of difference! They have an excellent eye for beauty, but also function, such that our yard seems to take care of itself (well, except for mowing). Recently, we had an incredibly challenging water issue at our boat house. The property is over 100 years old, so we were told there wasn't much to do to change the drainage. Joe and his crew solved the issue after a bit of research. Not only have we solved the flooding, but the new deck is stunning. The crew was meticulous in removing the old and sweeping up after the new installation. The boat house hasn't functioned or looked this good in 100 years!
