Five year update: There is not a day gors by that we don't love the view of our landscaped yard…read more As requested, Trio installed native plants that attract birds, since my hobby is photographing birds. But the result was much more, the variety of flowers, shrubs and trees, (some bearing berries for birds) is the envy of the entire neighborhood. The plants have matured into a planned "painting" of contrasting foliage. My experience is that money spent outside of the house goes further than remodel money spent inside...maybe it is the "alive" thing that plants have. That sounds dumb, but seeing the seasons change in my yard is life affirming. Thanks, Diana. Larry and Helen

I called Trio Landscaping last fall to discuss a landscaping project we needed for our backyard…read more This is a duplex that hasn't had much loving care to the landscape due to it being a rental property. Now that my husband and I, the owners, moved in, we wanted a space that felt "finished", cozy and a place where we would like to hang out. Diana, the owner of Trio Landscaping, was excellent to work with. She spent a lot of time getting a good understanding of our budget and what we wanted before she created a plan and sent it to us. We had several zoom calls discussing the plan and making minor revisions to ensure it met our needs. Her design is spot on for our space. We were out of town the week the construction took place and came back to a completely new backyard! It has transformed the way we spend time in the back yard - hanging out with friends, grilling and just reading and relaxing. I now have a backyard I am proud to show off. The Trio Landscaping team are all top notch professionals! Thank you, Trio Landscaping!

We hired Taylor to remove two dead and dying trees on our property and could not be happier for his…read morework. One tree was especially tricky as it was hanging over a chain link fence. I folded up the fence fabric and Taylor expertly cut off the top branches such that they precisely landed just a few feet from the fence posts. The other tree was in the front yard and it, too, was fallen with precision. When done he spent a long time to thoroughly clean the area. His bid was very competitive. Highly recommend! Apparently our VPN put us in San Francisco at the time this review was submitted, but I can assure you we live in Eden Prairie!

Asked for a $150 more on top of the $650 I was quoted, which was fine because it was a big job and $650 was already by far the best deal I'd found. Paid via Zelle. - Cut up logs and stumps with a chainsaw and used a tarp and wheelbarrow to move all the stuff across half an acre. - Polite, expedient, considerate.

This company provides the landscape care for the townhouse development I live in. Their workers are…read moreunskilled laborers that obviously lack training in horticultural practices and they work largely without supervision. They damage our shrubs, trees and turf on a regular basis, and I have yet to see them repair anything they damage. In winter, their trucks knock down street signs all over the development, damage curbs, and lawns with careless plowing. The picture below is of damage done to the lawn adjacent to my townhouse. The lawns are very obviously too saturated to use heavy equipment on but the Shwaders crews persist despite the damage they are doing.

I rarely write reviews, but these guys are great! BTW, Scott even called us a few weeks after the job and asked it everything was still to our liking--you don't get that service very often!!

WOW! ALERT GARDEN LOVERS Someone is really taking time to do it right!!!…read more Best dirt for gardening I have ever come across. Absolutely dry and absolutely pulverized. Most soils im sure are pulverized when damp, leaving clumps and other undesirable contaminants, and offer little nutriant rich material. This stuff is compost black. I would absolutely use this black dirt over the overated miracle grow I have tried in the past, as well as the many other pulverized black dirt and delivery companies I have used. Don't believe me? Drive to hopkins and have a look for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again, AAA Lamperts I am really impressed by your product. Whoever ever is mixing GREAT JOB..

Cary at Stonecrop Design created a beautiful plan for our large front yard that we could easily…read moreimplement in a phased approach. She was extremely thorough and knowledgeable and made sure she included special plant requests into our plan. I especially appreciated that she is an advocate for plants that are native to our area. She also educated us on how we could easily add a rain garden to another area of our yard. She even accompanied me to the garden center to help shop for the right planters to frame up our front door. She can do as little or as much as you'd like for your landscaping projects -- from providing a plan to serving as the project manager, buyer and/or planter to implementing the entire plan from start to finish. I highly recommend her!
