Landscape Associates

I enjoyed seeing the yard designs and how the landscape beds and lawns where kept beautiful all year. The changes I have witnessed in the yard are amazing and truly one of a kind.

The crews are hard working, the designer worked hand in hand to make my vision come true. They exceed my expectations and i look forward to working with them in the future

Landscape Associates of DePere, WI performed poor workmanship, overlooked details in the design plan, and handled problems in a rude impatient manner. A project that should have taken less than a week took over two months to complete.



On the first day of planting two young, and seemingly inexperienced, men came to our home to plant trees, shrubs and grass. The crew did a very poor job of planting the trees; they left before watering freshly planted shrubs, and littered the planting beds with plastic bag parts. We had to call the owner of the company on more than one occasion to request that his crew fix and/or finish jobs they started such as edging the planting beds. We also repeatedly asked the owner, Mr. Andrews to provide more topsoil.



The biggest problem however was the centerpiece of the design, a “grove” of three trees. All three had lichen on them and did not appear to be particularly healthy. They were also four feet taller than specified in our contract. This was a problem since they were being planted under a large maple tree. At a height of over 10’ they had little room to grow before meeting the lower branches of the tree. When we asked for new trees the size designated in the plan, Mr. Andrews, the owner of Landscape Associates told us he could not get the 6’ size from his supplier (this was early in June) and provided no options to rectify the problem. He demonstrated a take it or leave it attitude to us. We reluctantly accepted the trees.



In less than a week’s time about half of the leaves on two of the three trees turned brown. Mr. Andrews initially only agreed to replace one of the sick trees. Since we wanted the three trees to all be the same height we asked for another 10’ tree as a replacement. Instead, without communication from the company, a 6’ tree was delivered (the size Mr. Andrews had previously said was unavailable). Weeks later when Mr. Andrews finally agreed to replace the other sick tree he said he would deliver a second 6’ tree. We had started trimming the remaining 10’ tree back to bring it closer in appearance to the smaller, younger trees. But instead, without notice from the company an 8’ tree was delivered.



Lack of communication had been an ongoing problem since planting started with Landscape Associates. Lack of trust also became an issue when Mr. Andrews repeatedly delivered a different size tree than promised. We paid Landscape Associates for professional services and received amateur workmanship which dragged out for much longer than expected. I learned a lot from this experience and one thing is that I would not recommend this company.
