ALBERS LANDSCAPING

Landscaping, Tree Service, Lawn and Yard Work,

About us

We specialize in landscape renovation and maintenance. A warranty is only as good as the people who stand behind it. The Albers emigrated from Germany around 1890. C.F. Albers, third generation, was the oldest of ten children. Not long after returning home from WWII, C.F. started a landscape & tree service. In 1969 his son William Albers started Albers Landscaping. Today, with his two sons Mark and Matt, he continues a landscape service which specializes in landscape renovation and maintenance. Snow-removal and concrete patio/sidewalk services are also available. They are winners of the Super Service Award from Angie’s List, and have two Purdue certified, licensed pesticide applicators on staff. The Albers have maintained properties for the same families for as long as 44 years. They warranty plants for a full six months (additional six months available). So, after 63 years in business in the Indianapolis area, they plan on being here another 63. So give them a call!

I was extremely pleased with the whole process! Mr. Albers was very prompt in responding to my inquiry and request for an estimate. When he arrived to do the estimate, he listened to what I wanted done as we walked around the house; he made suggestions as to additional things he could do to improve the appearance of the areas I wanted done; and he gave his reasons for any alternate product or procedure he suggested in lieu of what I had in mind. His estimate met with my approval, and he said he would call the day before coming to do the job. He actually let me know several days in advance of his team coming out. They arrived at the time he indicated they would, and within 6 hours the work was done. They cleaned out the planting beds, mulched them, trimmed several bushes, took down a couple of dead limbs from our oak trees, mulched around the front oaks and planted a new lace leaf Japanese maple. I was ECSTATIC with the results! They were friendly, efficient, cleaned up after themselves, and did a wonderful job. Before they left, I told Mr. Albers that I would definitely be calling him again next spring. I've also enjoyed the compliments of our neighbors!
Description of Work: Mulching of beds surrounding the house and some trimming of bushes.

Outstanding work! Bill was quick to respond to my inquiry and to provide an estimate. He provided plenty of examples, suggestions, instructions and explanation for the design. He went through the process and followed through with no hitches, no surprises. Matt & his crew were awesome! Showed up on time, very quick and efficient, very friendly and easy to work with. Lots of experience with this group and it definitely shows. Thanks for the hard work!

This was the third or fourth year that I have had them mulch my plant beds and the first year that I have had them do the cleaning and planting. I was quite pleased with the quality of the work that Adam and his crew did. I plan to continue using them for my landscaping work. Adam is there to do the work along with the rest of the guys and he will see that the work is done properly.
Description of Work: Complete clean out of the landscape beds. Removed all of the dead plant matter; removed some plants I wanted removed; planted a few new plants; put in a large landscaping rock; mulched all of the beds.

Bill and Matt did a great job. I primarily wanted to get rid of the remains of a very large maple I had removed from next to the driveway. They also reshaped the land to provide drainage away from the drive and garage. They did a couple of extras like remove a small stump on the other side of the house. Grass came up and filled in quickly and the whole thing looks great. And bonus, my problem of water running under the garage door when it rains is almost eliminated, so I don't need to install a new driveway.
Description of Work: removed remainder of stump and roots from large tree I had removed in spring. Filled with soil, and formed gentle swale to divert water away from driveway. Seeded and strawed new grass.

They came out real quick. They were a little high in price and I think that's why we didn't go with them. It's family-owned and they were really nice and really helpful.

The estimate to edge and mulch seemed a bit high for what we wanted to do. We didn't get an itemized breakdown so we can't say how their costs compared to another landscaping company that we contacted. They were very prompt, on time and professional just out of our budget range.
Description of Work: We asked the company to come out to give an estimate for edging and mulching planting beds around our house and to plant 4 trees. They came out the afternoon that I called and provided an estimate the next day. It was out of our budget so we didn't go with the company but I impressed with how quickly they were able to come out and their professionalism.

Matt arrived exactly at 8:30 A.M. as promised and went right to work with a Stihl gas hedge trimmer. He continued right on thru lunch time as there was the threat of rain that day and he wanted to complete the job so he didn't have to leave and come back another day. He completed the job about 1:30 P.M. including raking up and hauling away the clippings. Matt sculptured each bush and did an excellent job. I was completely pleased and will definitely call them again next year.
Description of Work: Matt Albers, William Albers' son, trimmed all the evergreen bushes (10 total) around the front and sides of my house plus three clusters of huge evergreens and a firebush (12 total) across the front of my yard.

We have two sweet gum trees in our tree lawn with limbs that extend out over the street. The lower limbs on these two trees overhang the street and were subject to being hit by higher vehicles. We have a wild cherry tree in our side yard which had lower limbs which drooped over our driveway and often scraped our son's truck when parking on the driveway. The lower limbs on the sunset maple tree in the front yard obscured our vision of the street and were a nuisance when mowing the lawn. A second much older Maple tree in the back yard had more than the average number of dead limbs in it which needed to be removed. Bill Albers and his son Matt went right to work at 8:30 A.M. on June 18, 2013 and approximately five hours later they were all done. Our yard looked so much better. Their charge for this work was $1500. exactly as estimated earlier. My wife and I were completely satisfied with the Albers workmanship and with what we feel was a fair price for the size of this job and the expertise required to do it right. Sure we would have liked to have paid less for this work; however, our satisfaction is obvious as we have already arranged for the Albers to trim all the bushes in our yard after July 4th, 2013.
Description of Work: Bill Albers and his son Matt removed the dead limbs in five trees in our yard and did what they call "uplifting" to remove some of the lowest limbs. They then cleaned up and hauled away all debris.

I called 5 landscaping companies for quotes telling each of them I wanted low maintenance shrubs/trees/perennials along the side of the house and patio as well as a living privacy screen along one side of the patio. The quotes ranged from $3500 to $8000. Granted, the prices do reflect the amount of plants each company had designed for the area. William Albers was able to come out within 24 hours, listened to what I wanted, and produced a quote within 30 minutes. His design was exactly what we were looking for. His design took into account the plants already around the house so his landscaping blends in perfectly. He also took the time to explain why some of our other plants were not doing as well as we would like. His original quote was $4900 and included a mulch that would decompose into dirt, instead of the chemically treated wood chips I had in the front yard that would never decompose. I asked him to include a price for removing the mulch in the front yard and replacing it with the mulch he was going to use for the new landscape and that added another $300 to the total. He took the time to explain how much water was needed and how to prune the arbor vitaes so that they fill out more to produce the privacy screen we wanted on that side of the patio. He added top soil to help smooth out the uneven landscape on that side of the house, and covered it with straw. He also gave me a credit off my bill when he realized after looking at the arbor vitaes at the nursery that he wouldn't need as many as he thought. This is a family run local business, and I found them to be a hidden jewel!
Description of Work: Installed new landscaping and mulching along one side of my home and continue around the back along the patio, which was completely bare. They also cleaned out all the beds in the front of the house and remulched with a much better quality product.

We had been trying like crazy to get landscaping people out here to have the trees down. They were all too busy, and we should have called probably a month before we had the trees out because of the season. The guy from Albers was very pleasant to talk to. He came out faster than anybody else has come out. He is very very nice and very pleasant. Unless we get some better deal, we will probably go with him. We are waiting on somebody that has already been here twice, but still doesn?t have a plan and still hasn?t given us a price. He didn?t rush through. He listened to everything we said. He brought pictures. He came well prepared.
Description of Work: The guy from Albers Landscaping came by today. We talked to him for the first time. He gave us an estimate. He is going to bring in new dirt level around the tree, remove old pavers and old stone, tear up old ground cover, re sod, and do planting all around the house.

When I talked to Bill Albers about the trimming, I said that I did not want the trees topped and that I like the natural shape of trees. I admit that I was a little concerned as I was not home when they did the trimming. When I came home, the trees were still their same natural beautiful shape. The only thing missing was the branches that were causing trouble and the trees were gracefully shaped. I was and am thrilled!!!
Description of Work: Albers Landscaping trimmed several (4 or 5) large trees that had not been trimmed in many years, if ever. Several of the trees were about 17 years old.

The work exceeded my expectations. Bill Albers is a very accommodating and personable man. They were exactly on time both days and the cleanup was exceptional. The plants are of good quality, the flowerbeds look wonderful, the pruning was perfect and results are breathtaking. I have recommended Albers Landscaping to my friends and will use them again.
Description of Work: Albers Landscaping (Bill Albers and company) did part of the landscaping last fall and this was to do some additional landscaping to the back yard and the side of the house. This included removing the haydite rock and replacing it with mulch plus re-mulching the front and side of the house. They also removed several large shrubs that were completly overgrown and trimmed a 30+ foot blue spruce tree away from the house and the roof. I was a little concerned that they would take off too much of the tree, but it is just the right amount and did not affect the shape and the beauty of the tree at all. They did a lot of pruning of other shrubs and trees and planted some new shrubs and a tree. In addition, they buried some downspots and installed steel edging. The results are beautiful!!!

The work exceeded my expectations. Bill Albers is a very accommodating and personable man. The estimate was agreed to on Sunday afternoon and when I got home from work on Monday, it was complete. (WOW!) The plants are of good quality, the flowerbeds look wonderful and the cleanup was exceptional. I have more landscaping to be completed in the spring and look forward to Albers Landscaping coming out again.
Description of Work: I recently purchased a 17 year old home. The estimate was to replace existing landscaping that was put in by a previous owner with items that I liked. The work included removing Haydite (rock) from the front and side flower beds, cleaning out the weeds, grass and English Ivy that was out of control. Then new items were installed including - a gorgeous Japanese Laceleaf maple, two Capitata Yews, five dwarf lilacs (can't wait for spring), and three globe yews, followed by IN hardwood mulch. Also, the driveway was edged, plus the flower beds were edged and 160' of steel edging was installed. The work also included running out five downspouts (underground) and trimming many shrubs that looked liked they had not been touched in years. The results are a whole new look that is breathtaking!

Bill Albers was very helpful in making recommendations when I didn't quite know what to do with an area, but was also respectful if I did not wish to go with one of his recommendations; not "pushy." He and his crew were very punctual and did a thorough and top notch job with all of the work done. It looked great and I even got an unsolicited compliment from my neighbor across the street. He was as impressed with their work ethic as the appearance.
Description of Work: There is a dense amount of landscaping on all 4 sides of my house and a small wooded area in the back. The work was more rehab than landscape design and included removal of numerous large bushes and small trees, pruning/trimming all shrubbery and several trees, edging and mulching all the beds, feeding trees, spraying trees, rerouting and during drainage from all drainspouts, and planting 4 large bushes/trees.

Bill and his two sons Mark Albers and Matt Albers arrived shortly after I left for work in the morning and by the time I came home I had a whole new front yard. No mess was left. No dirt in the driveway or street. Everything was hosed down and clean. All the old trees and bushes were taken out and replaced with new trees, shrubs and flowering plants. All new mulch. Neighbors all commented on how great everything looked and how fast they were able to complete the job. Very professional company. They all came back at a later date and did the back yard. Put in new beds and trees around the patio area. Everything looks great and I would recommend this company to anyone. Everything was done in a timely and very professional manner. Were able to answer any questions I had regarding any of the plants and trees that were planted.
Description of Work: Tore out all old shrubs and plants. Put in a bed that curves around the front of the house. Planted new bushes, flowers and trees. Trimmed everything. Replaced bark with all new mulch. Installed underground drainage from the gutters.
