“I hired Great Oaks to design and install my landscape as soon as they renovated my neighbors property and it sold for 10% more then its asking price. They are so helpful and respectful. They took the time to educate me about what they were planning, installing, the process, and just about landscape architecture in general. I learned so much from them and they created a breathtaking outdoor living space which I use everyday. It made my house something I was proud to show off. I now have friends and family over because they turned my backyard into a entertaining living area which is simply beautiful and I can fit 3 times as many people as I used to be able too. I Never could have imagined a big landscaping company woud care so much about 1 individual homeowner but they really do. They still contact me to make sure it's still as perfect as the day it was installed.”

“I have been a client of Great Lakes Landscape Design for over 20 years. Their work is outstanding as they pay an incredible amount of attention to detail. The staff is always courteous and respectful and they are a pleasure to work with. They have handled my lawn and spring/fall cleanups for me as well as created one brick porch and rebuilt two others.”

“A complete design & build landscape designer, focusing on exceeding customer expectations from the design period to the finshed product. Great care was taken with the exsisting landscape while the project was done within budget and on time.”

“I originally contacted Karleen Shafer to help me with a design for my small backyard, which was used for parking, and completely overgrown with weeds and concrete debris from a torn down garage. Knowing nothing about landscaping or planting, Karleen provided me with two designs and photos of plantings that would work well for an inexperienced gardner. She was attentive to my requirements: a space to park two cars, a patio for entertaining, space for a gas grill, something aesthetically pleasing, and plantings that would be easy for me to maintain. I was so happy with the final design that I also had Karleen and her crew do the installation. This was a late fall installation, and her crew worked around rainy and cold weather to complete the project. She and her crew were respectful and trustworthy. The final layout was beautiful - a flagstone patio for entertaining, a gravel pathway to the tool shed, and a variety of tall grasses, bushes and plants integrated with the hardscaping. I received tons of compliments from family, friends, and neighbors! It was a total transformation and I have enjoyed entertaining and maintaining it for several years now. Karleen stayed in touch after the installation, making sure to educate me on preparing for the cold months (e.g., cutting the grasses back) and what to do in the Spring. All-in-all, an excellent investment with an excellent company with a friendly, hands-on and committed group of landscape professionals! Would hire this company again in a heart beat!

“Landforms came in and revamped our current landscape design; removed some older plants with newer deer resistant ones. Very professional, timely, with excellent ideas.”

“Zaremba & Company's knowledge, experience and attitude made our landscape project a huge success. Patrick and his team worked skillfully and professionally, responded respectfully and in a timely manner to requests and questions, and designed and implemented an amazing landscape in our new lake home. Patrick's input on the design of our patio, incorporating a pizza oven, grill, fireplace, hot tub, pergola and seating area resulted in the perfect outdoor living space for our family and guests. His vision of the space helped us to achieve a truly unique setting which we have enjoyed, and look forward to continued enjoyment, for years to come.”

“Steven and Thoms Bros. was intuitive, functional, prepared with great layouts, and ready to serve! We enjoyed all the help in design and prospectus as well as the ability and insight to do on-project damage control procuring stonework. A special company with a twist on conventional design to go beyond to the WOW factor! Worked with us to achieve a design on a budget! We will have Steven and his company back and unconditionally recommend to our peer group and you! I have before and after pictures and can be contacted as a reference at 'scm48069@gmail.com'. Please feel free to reach out to a fellow homeowner. :)”

“We're in our forever home so it was important for us to have the job done right and not just done. We met with 3 companies and after they submitted their proposals there was no question who to go with, we selected Shannon and the Superior Scape team, and would do it again (will do it again). Shannon listened to what we the non-experts were looking for and brought them to life in his proposal. He found ways to make our ideas look professional by creating lines that flow with surrounding landscape and adding design elements which we did not think of. Also, the team which did the actual installation was great! This experience, from the first meeting to proposal to payment was exactly what we were hoping for and only found through Superior Scape. Thank you, Superior Scape!!”

“It was such a great pleasure working with Kari on this project - with simply stunning results. We started early on with Kari's 3-D digital modelling of her vision for the site, as well as reference photos for the stone components. We worked through a number of options for the dimensions and ultimate visual effect of the wall, column, and water feature stone cladding, working in concert with the lead stone mason from the installation company (Houston Landscapes), Kari (who maintained the communication with the client), and our stone supply options. As a relatively small install, the stone order needed to complete the job perfectly, with minimal overage ordered to avoid extraneous costs, while still ensuring adequate materials were on site. This required detailed planning of each type of stone piece; we built a flexible, visual reference model in MS Excel to detail the precise layout of the wall, column and water feature pieces before ordering these custom items. As you can see, the transformation of this space is exceptional. The client is thrilled. Throughout the entire process I found Kari to be extremely professional, available and responsive, detail-oriented, and all the while very personable and flexible within the boundaries of her and her client's vision. I look forward to the next time we can work on a project together, and would recommend Kari's services to any client.”

“Exigent Landscaping constructed beautiful side steps for my home a couple years ago. They did an amazing job. They listened to me and customized my steps exactly how I wanted them and even installed some ledge lights that automatically come on at night. I couldn’t recommend them enough, very professional.”
