we pride our company on reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We strongly believe in giving our absolute best in all the work we perform. We are experts and will always keep you educated about the work process. We look forward to earning your business.

"I?m sad to write this review as Hero started off as a wonderful landscape partner to us with excellent communication and integrity. Unfortunately this past year we paid for a season pass of bi-weekly lawn mowing services plus an additional spring clean up service. We tried to work things out with Hero but ultimately we received fewer than half the lawn visits, no spring clean up and the visits we received were sporatic and not on the promised timeline. Hero agreed to come by with the refund for part of the services he did not provide but has since ghosted us despite consistent attempts to reach out by phone, text, Zelle and in-person. We lost $480 in services."

We pride ourselves on providing our customers with custom landscape and hardscape designs that fit their lifestyle. Our 4-Acre landscape showroom has everything necessary to transform your yard into the outdoor living area you've always want

"I can't say enough fantastic things about my experience with Jimmy N and Touch of Green, He worked within our budget, created 3D images of our ideas, and most impressively he started and finished on time and was in constant contact with me throughout. I'm typically underwhelmed when it comes to these types of services, but Touch of Green really blew me away. The other thing I really appreciated was Jimmy wasn't afraid to give me his ideas without being pushy. He listened to what I wanted, but partnered with me to come up with the best solutions within my budget. I couldn't recommend them enough."

In 1897, W.G. McKay planted a seed that became McKay Nursery Company. The foundation was a strong belief in honest business practices, fair prices & the highest possible quality in our products. We are a horticultural grower & complete source for landscaping services & expertise. We are an employee-owned company nestled among the farmlands of southern Wisconsin, more than a century old, providing quality northern-grown plants to homes, businesses, & finer retailers throughout the Midwest, as well as a leading source of site & landscape design, construction, & maintenance for the places you live, work, & play.

"Complaint filed 5/7/25 with BBB of Wisconsin. This is a HORRIBLE company who just blow off customer complaints who have legitimate concerns on plants that are ordered online and do not survive the year. They cover up reviews left on their site and on Facebook! My reviews were quickly deleted and none were posted to their online site! This company has had problems dating back to 1972 in a court case that’s public knowledge!"
