"We met Matt Trenkle at a home show in Madison. We were not looking for a cookie-cutter architect, we needed an eco-oriented designer with experience in alternative materials building. We were drawn to Matt's booth because his display showed that his work was right up our alley. We described our unusual plan and he was eager to take it on. Through a few exchanged emails we further discussed our needs, and he put together a proposal for the work. He is a personable and dynamic architect and worked up a thorough and very clear proposal for us, with a reasonable estimate for the work we were requesting. I am sure he would be very easy to work with and a good communicator, and he gave us confidence that he was ready and capable of doing the work we needed and flexing with us as we worked through the design issues together. As it turns out, we decided to go with a local architect instead (we are based in Madison and Matt is in Milwaukee). His proposal was for design development and construction drawings for a 1000 sq ft passive solar earth bermed house made of earth-covered tire bales with an incorporated greenhouse."

"It was a job well done in a difficult location. Looks great and stabilizes our landscape and walkways so it is safe to walk again. Finished much faster than we thought possible. Thank you Chris."

"I couldn’t be happier with this company’s work. The Blue Star team installed a paver patio, built a retaining wall, and did some landscaping and planting. Rodrigo was responsive and was very helpful when it came to materials advice or any other questions. His prices are very fair as well. I highly recommend Blue Star Landscaping and Construction!"

"At our initial conversation I was extremely impressed with Jack’s knowledge and expertise. When his crew got to work it was clear that they are very hard workers also very knowledgeable. They take pride in their work and the end product is outstanding. The wall they completed was extremely challenging. I would hire them again in a heart beat. The pathway is stunning and they improved the layout of our yard. You would not go wrong to hire them."

"Roberto and his crew were communicative throughout the job. He explained issues with the design that I had not thought of and offered solutions. He chose pavers that match the different bricks and cement in the terrace above the path. We are already considering other projects for him to do. Friendly, polite, and reliable."

"Drew up architectural plans for us to submit to city for permitting on basement remodel. Met with us, he was helpful in discussing various design/layout options."

"I have been working with Bacher Landscape for years. They do excellent work for a reasonable price. I highly recommend them."

"Ken, was very knowledgeable and easy to work with."

"Listens, friendly, keeps me upddated"

"Very good job from PM cervices. Very professional, I am very happy with the work. I recommend it"
