All three also have knowledgeable and experienced landscape designers that will work with you to create the ideal landscape plan for your home. Our design and installation crews specialize in both residential and commercial work. Our designers have many years of experience, both in the design office and in the field. This experience, combined with formal education in landscape architecture results in a well rounded design team. Our installers and designers will work together to make sure every detail of your plan is correctly installed.

iThe patio looks amazing.  They removed an old flower bed, old railroad ties and dug out the backyard to install a 14' (diameter) patio, retaining wall and steps that Jake designed.  The design was amazing and looks even better in person than on a diagram.   We just had a new deck installed and Jake patiently waited until they were done before scheduling his crew to come in.   All the landscaping was done in one day while I was at work.  Quite a surprise when I came home.  Everything was cleaned up and ready for a party!!
There was only one downside.  The install knocked out our internet service since our cable went through the landscaping.  They had the area flagged for cables before work started, so that was checked.  However, maybe it isn't a perfect process and moving an old cable is enough to interfere with its service.  I mentioned this to Jake and he offered to pick up the price to have it fixed.   A class act!

They have three locations but the one I go to is in Stillwater, Minnesota. I love the professionalism and the quality of the work that they do. They are very punctual. They do high quality work on time. Their teams that they send out are very professional. They are very clean. I think the price is very satisfactory. I would say that they are wonderful for landscape projects. I really think they are good. They are willing to work with me. I have some materials and some rocks that I have available on site and they were willing to use the materials that I have where possible, and then they just complemented with other materials. They did a beautiful job.

Abrahamson's came highly recommended from a friend right after we bought our house.  We gave them a call and started working with Mitch.  Wow what a guy!  He asked me what I wanted and I said "low maintenance plants."  He was so knowledgeable, came out assessed our area and drew out a plan, emailed it within a week.  He asked us to go visit their Stillwater nursery and we did.  There he walked me through every single plant he had picked, spent time explaining why he choose it, what I expect to see over the seasons and asked if I was ok with the pick?  I wanted a few plants switched out so he patiently showed me which ones would work for the area and explained them in depth with me.  What service!  Before meeting Mitch, we chose a darker rock color but he recommended a red color, said it would compliment the house better.  I'm so glad for Mitch, he was right!  I would highly recommend Abrahamson Nurseries to anyone!

Jake came to our house to design an detailed plan for the the front, back and side of our house.  We wanted to improve the attractiveness of our property and promote healthy tree growth.  He was on time, took measurements of our property, listened to our ideas and suggested a few of his own ideas to improve our property.  We made a few changes to his original design which he was willing to do.  We could tell that he put a lot of time and thought into each design.   My husband and I are "do it yourselfers" when it comes to installing trees, shrubs and flowers.  Jake was willing to work with us to create a master plan if we purchased at least $200 in plants from Abrahamsons.  I have already been to their store to buy shrubs and start the install.  The folks at the Stillwater store have been helpful every step of the way and a joy to work with.   Our plan is to have a retaining wall and patio installed next year.  We will have Abrahamson's do it since they have been great to work with so far.

Abrahamson's was very good to work with.  They made good suggestions for hardscape that enhanced the plan and incorporated our preferences and ideas.   Unlike other nurseries we talked to when building out new house, they did not charge for the plans as long as we used them for installation.  They were prompt and did the work promised.  Because we landscaped in August, we deferred installing the perennials until the following spring.  That was not a problem and went very smoothly. 







Warranty was not a problem.  Again, the work was done promptly and with minimum disruption to other plant material. 







We have worked with other landscape companies in the 8+ years we have lived in our home to do additional projects.  Based on those experiences, I would not hesitate to contact Abrahamson's again to correct poor quality work done by others.  We have also recommended this nursery quite a few times to others.

Overall we are satisfied.  We didn't want to do all this work ourselves.
They used a bobcat and heavy equipment which in turn tore up the grass some and it is yellow in spots still.The hot weather didn't help either with the regrowth of the grass.I wish they paid attention to details more.  We were working that day so we didn't do a walk through after the job was completed.I wish we would have been here.  They had five workers here all on the job.
Overall I gave them a "B" grade.  I would do this again but I would be here for the job for a final walk through before they left.

The job went very well from start to finish. Mitch, the designer/estimator came out, we talked about what was needed, and he gave me some very useful ideas. He prepared and presented a blueprint and estimate; very professional. He was very flexible, working with me and around  other contractors' schedules.

Although a small job, actually two small jobs, they took the work seriously. The crew was in and out faster than I would have imagined. They had the necessary equipment and personnel available to get the job done efficiently. From the original planning, through the final execution, Abrahamson Nursery's estimator/planner, and work crew, exuded professionalism and efficiency. They were all very friendly and courteous, and they answered my silly questions.

I picked at this job myself (on and off, of course) for years, hating every minute. I would have been money ahead if I had used them from the start. You cannot beat the professional at his trade.

Bottom line: my wife said "wow!". I was happy to send them the check (they earned it), and the yard loooks much, much, better. I  recommend them without hesitation, and am thinking about next spring's projects.

The project went well. We are happy with the end product. Of course, it is the end of the growing season and we will not be able to fully appreciate the landscaping until next spring/summer. Mitch was a great person with whom to work. There is a two year guarantee on the plants. If one doesn't make it, we are to give him a call and he will replace it.

We dealt primarily with Mitch, had a plan drawn up and reviewed all options. We were very happy with the plantings and price. We did need someone to come back and correct a couple drain tiles but this was done without a hitch. The following spring, when a few perennials or shrubs didn't fair well over the winter, Abrahamson's replaced immediately. We were so happy with Abrahamsons that we hired them in the spring of 2010 to do some mulching, boulder placement and silt clean-up on another property.

They are easy to work with. They took my goals and came up with a design that worked for us. The work was efficient and neat. All the trees and shrubs grew beautifully and the perenniel gardens are perfect. While not cheap, their high quality work is completed as scheduled.

They had a design done in two days and the work was completed by a whole crew, so the work didn't take very long at all. They also drew up a plan for us and we really like the work they do.

WORKED WITH MITCH. MET HIM AT THE NURSERY IN STILLWATER AND HE SHOWED US DIFFERENT PLANTS AND WITHIN 48 HRS CAME UP WITH A PLAN AT NO CHARGE. WE MADE A COUPLE REVISIONS TO SHRUBBERY AND PLAN TO BRING DOWN THE PRICE. MITCH WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING. OUR EXPERIENCE ONLY IMPROVED. WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS PLANS WERE SUBMITTED BY THEM TO OUR ASSOCIATION FOR APPROVAL. PLANTING, SOD AND SPRINKLER SYSTEM WERE ALL PLACED WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS OF EACH OTHER. ONCE WE GAVE THE OKAY, THE WORKED WITH LIGHTNING SPEED AND DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. MET THE OWNER, AND MITCH IS APPARENTLY RELATED. EVERYBODY WAS VERY NICE.

WONDERFUL. MITCH CAME OUT IMMEDIATELY & MET WITH US; ASKING FOR OUR SITE PLAN, ETC. WE FELT VERY COMFORTABLE WITH HIM AND, THEREFORE, DID NOT GET OTHER BIDS. AFTER DRAFTING A PLAN, WE MET WITH HIM AT THE NURSERY WHERE HE SHOWED US EACH PLANT/TREE/SHRUB THAT WOULD BE IN OUR YARD. HE WORKED WITH OUR BUILDER TO DESIGN OUR FRONT SIDEWALK & PATIO SO IT WAS UNIQUE AND TAILORED TO OUR NEEDS. I NEVER HAD TO WORRY ABOUT ANY DETAILS - HE TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING. HE STILL COMES OUT AND CHECKS ON OUR PLANTS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS GROWING WELL. THE CONTRACTOR THEY USED FOR OUR SPRINKLER SYSTEM WAS PHENOMENAL. OUR NEIGHBORS WERE IMPRESSED THAT OUR LANDSCAPING WAS COMPLETE WITHIN A WEEK OF OUR MOVE-IN. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS COMPANY, ESPECIALLY MITCH. HE WAS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.
