"We had just purchased a house in Williams Bay and the landscaping left much to be desired. We needed especially to do something with the side, which was just a muddy slope with little landscaping. The front was passable, but not inspiring. Our designer presented us with a design that built a stone wall on the slope side, with a new sidewalk and astilbe garden running along the walk. He also suggested relocating the front walk away from the front of the house in a curve toward the driveway, allowing a small boxwood garden in front of the house and a more attractive presentation. As a separator from the house next door, he suggested a line of plants (hostas and geraniums), favoring plants that prefer shade and are deer resistant (since the location has both of those issues). He kept as much of what we had as fit the design and we added a number of features that made the presentation much more attractive. All in all a great job. <br />"

"I was advised to use the Flagstones, they gave me the estimate of the cost. I have used Tholens for years for planting trees, delivery of truckloads of Mulch every other year. <br />"

"Determined what the problem was and fixed it.  Later leaked again but they located problem and fixed it without further cost. Did a good job and have gone through heavy rains without any leaks.   Contractor did what they said what they said they would do without any problems. <br />"

"We called Bob to do an estimate on our roof. He explained that he had jobs lined up to be completed before ours, but if we sprang a leak, he would come and tarp it immediately. Fortunately, that didn't happen. As it was July, Bob and his helper showed up quite early in the morning to begin work. Bob explained his work schedule, meaning he would take off in the worst of the afternoon heat and return in the evening to continue. They draped tarps around the house to catch errant nails and shingles as they tore off the old roof. We learned that there are certain detailed tasks that Bob does himself, like flashing around a chimney. He is very particular about the quality of his work which we consider a excellent trait in a workman. The roof was completed in a matter of days and the yard was cleaned up. Our roof looks great and we have had compliments from so many of our neighbors. We will definitely call him again!  <br /> <br /> <br />"

"I am very pleased with the work that Brad and his crew did around my home. The landscaping looks great and there is a noticeable difference in the before and after picture--almost like it's brand new again. The quality of work is outstanding; the pricing reasonable--a good value for the money. The workers arrived as promised, were courteous, hard-working and cleaned up after themselves. Brad, the owner, is very personable, attentive and customer-oriented. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do in several areas and he gladly offered suggestions and his expertise to assist me in the decision-making. There was no hard-selling of product or services. Phone calls were returned promptly and there were no problems with scheduling. I plan to have them back in the Spring of 2011 to create a relaxing area in my back yard for me and my hammock as well as an annual spreading of mulch and some possible shrub replacement (money-permitting, of course)."

"excellent, when problems arose with the old sink and the weight of the tile on the countertop, they reinforced the cabinet walls for just the cost of materials. Even with the extra repairs they still finished the job ahead of schedule, and on budget. The workers were very friendly and professional, and were quick to answer any questions that I had. I am having them come back in the spring to build a flagstone patio and firepit in my back yard."
