"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."

"Jason and his crew did a fantastic job at a reasonable price for my landscaping project.. A smaller, local company beats the larger landscape companies by providing great service, knowledge, communication and expectations of the project. I highly recommend Jason Black for any landscape project you may have at your home!"

"It went really well. Al and Corey are both fantastic to work with. I moved into a house where the yard was in rough shape. I talked to several different landscaping companies and decided on Goodfellows after the initial meeting. Al had such great suggestions for tweaking the design and thinking about the project, that I knew I would regret it if I chose someone else. The customer service is really good. Many contractors I have worked with are almost impossible to get answers from, but Al was always on top of everything I asked. The install team worked very hard and took great care when working close to the house to ensure nothing was damaged. We are very happy with the work that was done and would definitely recommend Goodfellows, without reservation, to anybody considering a landscaping project."

"Cherry Hill installed and programmed my Irrigreen irrigation system plus 10,000Sq. ft. of beautiful sod. Love my new instant yard! The entire crew was there to answer all my questions. Austin and Ryan were really amazing in guiding the project. They were so easy to work with! I'd definitely recommend them to renew your lawn and any other landscaping projects!!"

"Great Goats Landscaping, was the company I had called to receive a bid for the tree services I needed-cutting up the fallen tree limbs and hauling away everything...The owner of this company Mike Olson, is who I spoke with and Mike was out to my home in just a few hours to survey the damage and give me his company’s bid for my tree problem...For all of you folks out there requiring this type of service, all I can say is call Great Goats Landscaping-EXCELLENT service, very professional staff to work with, job well done and the best price I received, from a total of five companies I solicited competitive bids from!!! My tree problem was caused from a freak early snowstorm and I was up against more possible bad weather coming in, so this team of experts were out right away to resolve my issue... I highly recommend this company to all, you will not be disappointed and dealing with Mike Olson the owner, could not have been more positive!!! I would not hesitate to use Great Goats Landscaping again-Great company!!! Julie/Edina,MN"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

Yes, you can absolutely transplant bushes instead of removing them completely. The success depends on the size of the bushes, their age, and the transplanting season. Ideally, transplant during the dormant season (late fall or winter). Dig out the entire root system in one piece, fill the new hole with fresh soil and mulch, and water thoroughly after planting.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.
