I needed help with solving problems with areas of poor drainage around the house. Although Gus Lemcke's first proposal was somewhat uninspired, and when I called him back and discussed the proposal with him, he came back with much better ideas. I found him very easy to work with. He was very open to some changes I made as the work progressed. His workmen were neat, professional, and cleaned up after themselves. Best of all, the drainage issues seem to have been solved.
Description of Work: They removed an old brick walk and replaced it with stone, installed underground drainage for downspouts, installed pavers, and did plantings.

My initial contact with Gus was very good. He listened to what I wanted and made suggestions to help me. He was very personable and friendly. I didn't feel like I was rushed into any decisions. When I received the proposal, I couldn't remember the decorative rocks I was interested in. Gus made a trip to leave me samples of the different ones we had discussed. On the day the work was done, there was an addition I wanted to make to the job and it wasn't a problem. The work the landscapers did was excellent. They were friendly and cleaned up before they left. I am very pleased with everything. The price was reasonable for the work that I had done. They exceeded my expectations. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I had three areas worked on. In front I had three shrubs planted and one moved and replanted. I also had the weeds removed prior to planting and mulch installed in two areas in front. I also had edging placed around two areas in the front and one in the back. In the back, I had an area that had weeds removed and had decorative rocks put in.

Overall this was the best experience with a landscaper that I've ever had. Gus Lemcke came and did the quote himself. He then followed up with an email estimate - which was great for me. They worked well with a fence company that I had doing the fence in the back and were timely and professional. They did what they said they would, when they would. I had quite a variety of projects, and they were able to do them all at what I thought was a reasonable price. I definitely plan to use them again.
Description of Work: Lemcke removed overgrown weeds and shrubs from several parts of our yard. They also created & regraded a new area behind our house - then filled with rock and mulch. They then sealed our blue stone patio.

From our first appointment with Gus Lemcke, we were impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He had lots of good ideas for how to arrange the beds and plants and knew the types of plants that would grow best in certain areas. He gave us a detailed drawing and estimate within a week. When we needed to reduce the cost, he worked with us and quickly sent a new estimate which saved us about $1000 without substantially changing the scope of the project. We had to wait our turn to be scheduled for the job, but, once they started, his crew had the whole job done in 2 1/2 days and left the yard and driveway neat and clean. Gus was easy to work with and flexible when we wanted to change some details. His crew even did some extra edging and trimming that were not in the contract. And the neighbors have been complimenting us on our yard!
Description of Work: Designed and implemented a landscape plan for the area around 3/4 of our house and the area in our back yard at the end of the driveway. Removed 4 mature shrubs, relocated some hostas, extended the beds around the house and installed plastic edging, moved rocks around original bed and used them to create a new shade garden in the back yard. Planted 3 trees, over 30 shrubs, a large area of groundcover,and a variety of perennial plants. All beds were prepped with compost, fertilizer, and weed control, and then mulched. Drainage pipe was installed to reroute water from a low area in the back yard to drainage ditches in the front. Graded and reseeded areas of the lawn damaged during remodeling last fall.

They did a very good job, there was little disruption as far as tearing the rest of the yard up, the people were very courteous. And it ended up being 10 or 11 days, but there were no gaps in the work.

I PURCHASED A HOUSE THAT HAD MOISTURE PROBLEMS IN THE BASEMENT. GUS LEMCKE REMOVED THE OVERGROWN 30 YEARS WORTH OF EVERGREENS AND ADDED FILL DIRT WHERE IT WAS NEEDED IN ORDER TO DRAIN THE WATER AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. GUS WAS EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THE ASSESSMENT OF THE MOISTURE PROBLEM. I WOULD RECOMMEND GUS FOR ANY LANDSCAPING NEEDS.
