"My back-yard perimeter garden had become quite a mess with 50- year old rotting railroad ties, weed trees and shrubs, and out of control ferns and grapevines. Not only did it look bad but I didn't really need or want the garden which had been put there by a previous owner of my house. My plan was to eliminate most of the garden by converting it to grass (lawn) and then improve the part of the garden that I was going to keep. After doing some research on Angie's List, I contacted Tom Steele from Steeleman's Landscapes and am very glad that I did! Tom set up a time to come to my house and view my situation immediately whereas other contractors said they could not come out for several weeks. Tom listened carefully to my vision for my back-yard but also steered me in a better direction when needed which ended up giving me a better result. For example, he convinced me to convert the two corners of my back-yard garden to lawn instead of keeping them which was the right way to go for a cleaner, more streamlined look. He also advised me to use grass seed instead of sod on the newly converted lawn areas because the grass color will blend into the existing lawn better. Tom wrote up a proposal which I agreed to and he put me on his schedule to do the work. When the scheduled date came a month later, Tom showed up with his crew and I was glad to see him there personally involved and supervising the work that we discussed. He was also receptive to my input as the project progressed and I saw some items I wanted changed or modified slightly. It took Tom and his crew two days to complete the work and I was very happy with the result. A much cleaner and more open look to my backyard with more lawn space for outdoor activities. The part of the perimeter garden that remained along the back fence was much improved with the addition of Fond du Lac stone edging and new ornamental grass to go with the existing Hosta plants. Tom is a good guy who is dependable and easy to work with and I highly recommend him and the landscape services that he provides. Note: This work was completed on July 3rd, 2019."
