Recent Lawn Landscaping Reviews in Cottage Grove
- L & R Suburban Landscaping IncThis was our second time hiring L & R, and based on our first experience at a previous home years earlier, we expected -- and had -- another great experience this time. Up front, Lyle came out for multiple visits to talk through many details, desires and ideas, and produced a very nice printed design with details on all plant selections. The bid was detailed and clear. When the crew arrived, they worked hard, took great care in their work, put up with my very detail-oriented oversight, respected our property and overall did a terrific job. Lyle came out on a regular basis to check on progress and talk through any concerns or adjustments. The end result realized just about everything we had envisioned. We're so excited to enjoy our new yard and see our new plants develop and flourish over the years to come! Thanks L & R
- L & R Suburban Landscaping IncThe team at L&R suburban landscaping exceeded all our expectations. They were on time, professional, and did an amazing job of redoing the terraces in our backyard. But the part that impressed us the most was the team themselves, and the fact that they truly went above and beyond. When part of our play structure was cracked when they moved it, they patched it without a second thought. When they were working through a heat wave, the entire landscaping team was looking out for each other, making sure they got needed breaks and water. Working with L&R not only means your landscape will look incredible, but you’re supporting a company that really looks out for their customers and employees. You don’t find that kind of company every day
- L & R Suburban Landscaping IncRon and Layla were my main contacts and they were extremely easy to work with and very responsive to my questions and changes. Ron very closely supervised the project and was on site every day. He suggested adjustments based on situations that came up that would improve the project (particularly drainage issues). The entire team listened to my specific requests and were always accommodating, often helping me choose materials and locations. I did not receive multiple estimates, so cannot rate L & R to any competitors in terms of price. I could not be more pleased with the results of the project. This was a major enhancement to my property
- L & R Suburban Landscaping IncRon and his group at L&R Landscaping did an excellent job with our landscaping project. Here is why we chose them for our project and why you should consider them for your project. We met with three different companies to fix a drainage issue and renovate our patio. We felt that L&R listened to what we were trying to accomplish and provided the best solution. There was good communication with the office, lead project coordinators and the workers throughout the process. They were hard working, friendly and very conscientious regarding the next-door neighbor’s yard. We were very pleased with the entire process and would highly recommend that you visit with L&R for your landscaping needs. Jeff and Wendy F
- L & R Suburban Landscaping IncL & R was the most expensive quote I received. However, Lyle was the only person that asked enough questions to determine the cause of the water issues and to propose a more extensive resolution. The extra money paid was worth having the water issue resolved once and for all.
- APL Landscape SolutionsAPL Landscape Solutions created a serene nature back yard environment to relax and enjoy a good book and a morning cup of coffee. They were great with making suggestions based on my needs and budget creating a design that worked perfectly for me. They were always professional and a very professional and courteous team. The time estimates were accurate as well. Refreshing working with this company
- APL Landscape SolutionsWe were very pleased with the customer service and the quality of work performed by APL. They were easy to work with and flexible in the design.
- AR White Construction, LLCFANTASTIC!!!! Clear communication, punctuality, and professionalism. Very pleased with the several projects that I’ve hired them for.
- A To Z Tree Care LLCA to Z Tree Care did an AWESOME job trimming our maple tree. We were very impressed with how everyone took great care while working in our backyard with all their equipment. Impressed with how well they were able to control the large limbs as they were being cut and brought down. They did't even have to enter our neighbors yard to pick up any branches. Clean up was quick and well done with no damage to our lawn from the heavy . Everyone was respectful, kind and prompt!!! I highly recommend A To Z Tree care
- WORKING FOR YOUAs you can see, Rob has worked with us on a lot of projects. I recommend him wholeheartedly. He is a great handyman, detailed and honest contractor, and even better person :) great guy! Rob is the best!

"Justin was easy to talk to, patiently answered our questions, seemed knowledgeable, and was honest about what he couldn’t guarantee. He volunteered the information that because a lot of dirt had to be added, some of our shrubs and small trees might not survive the change, and he had a method for protecting them as well as possible. When he and his crew of three got into the project he decided they needed to grade out further than originally planned in order to get a good result, but he didn’t charge us more; in fact, when the project finally came in at slightly less cost than the original estimate, he charged us less. His price had been reasonable to begin with, judging from other information and estimates we had. The final result looks nice. We trust him and would definitely consider hiring him again.

"We bought an old house from the original owner, who hadn't touched her landscaping in probably 10 years. I reached out to a few companies right at the start of quarantine for a quote on some landscaping work. Brian was the first person who responded to me--he was at my house within a couple days, and we stood 6-feet apart outside as we walked around the house and discussed what we needed done. I explained that I am not outdoorsy and have a black thumb; I didn't want anything that required a lot of maintenance from me. He heard everything I asked for. As we approached the side of the house he paused and asked "Do you get water in your basement." He was right on. He identified an issue I never brought it up to him. He also pointed out that our retaining wall was buckled and crumbling. He had a quote to me within a day. He had a crew at my house as soon as the governor allowed his business to open back up. They worked hard for 4 days, only stopping when it was too rainy to continue. Brian was able to save many of my existing plants and bushes to save on the cost of new plants. Every couple of days Brian would walk around the yard with me to make sure everything was to my liking. When it was all done, he gave me a folder of information--what was planted, when/how the plants needed to be watered or treated, what to do before it frosts. My yard looks 100x better. My neighbors have commented on what an improvement they made. I feel like our curb appeal increased tenfold. And a bonus: I haven't had water in my basement since they were here. Thanks Brian! You were great to work with! We'll call you in a couple years when we are ready to do the backyard. :)

"The quality of the work was excellent. Owner and workers were very professional and a pleasure to work with. Only complaint is that response to phone calls and emails was less than perfect, as I had to contact Chris more than once on a couple of occasions to get him to return my call or email. A relatively minor complaint compared to the general satisfaction I have with his work. I would definitely call on Artistic Landscapes again and would highly recommend them.

"We had an extremely large willow tree (5 ft diameter) in our front yard and it was partially falling down and needing to be cut down and removed. We contacted several tree companies from Angi's and didn't receive responses. We found Minnesota Tree Surgeon through a friend that works with them a lot in St. Paul. We worked with Brian and had an amazing experience. He was responsive in his communication, he was competitive in his pricing, his was super nice when he came to our house to bid on the project. He and his team were great to work with, clean, fast, and it looks great. Our neighbor even came over and asked for a bid, which he provided so he came back the next week! I really recommend working with them!

"Work done in timely manner with no damage to the lawn from their equipment. The guys did an excellent job on mowing and the cleanup in spring and fall."
"The basic mowing was done reasonably well and I appreciated coming home from three weeks away to a freshly mowed lawn. However, there were several issues that made me rate this company lower:
1. I have a very wet area in the front yard where the sump pump empties. They ran a large mower carelessly over this area, causing large ruts.
2. They routinely allowed the grass cuttings to cover some areas landscaped with flowers and plants.
3. They ran over the spout to my back gutter, crushing it. Although Michael said he would replace it, he never did.
4. They did not come to mow on a regular schedule. I often had to call after 2-3 weeks when the grass had grown very tall without any mowing. They generally showed up within a day or two (there was always a reason why they hadn't been there), but I really didn't want to have to keep calling.
5. In the early part of the summer, I asked for a bill several times. None was forthcoming. So I stopped asking -- after all, I'm not the one who wanted to get paid! I finally received a bill in December for the whole summer. This bill was incorrect. It charged me for dates when they had not come (I kept track of the days they actually mowed on my calendar.) I would have preferred smaller bills on a regular basis, and found this unprofessional.
