Van Buren Landscape

Greg did a wonderful job. He planned and executed installing steps and a retaining wall/curb alongside the back of our garage. It helps us move from the front to the back of our property without having to tiptoe down a hill and cracked wall. Also, it looks great.

Van Buren Landscape did an amazing job on my sidewalk…it turned out beautifully! Greg was knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Van Buren Landscaping. I hired them to build a retaining wall and revamp my backyard landscape design. Greg the owner was upfront and honest regarding cost and start/completion dates. Professional quality work, I was very pleased!

Greg was fantastic to work with and did an incredible job - our patio is perfect and his attention to detail really shows. Greg is very easy to recommend!

Greg and team were amazing to work with. Not only was their bidding process easy to manage, their work was beyond my expectations. They did extensive work to ensure that my backyard will be dry from now on. While they were a little more expensive than the competition, I feel like I got an incredible value in the work they did. Greg said he was going to do things right and he did. Finally, the team was meticulous in keeping the worksite clean at the end of the day and left my yard in great shape. I would recommend Greg and his team to anyone without hesitation.

Greg (the owner) and his son Galvin completed my project in 6 days. I like the responsiveness, knowledge, and quality of work this company provided. Greg is very friendly to talk to and gave me many good suggestions that I did not originally think about. I strongly recommend this company. Kirby Hsieh

We hired Greg and his team to replace a retaining wall on our property. It was an ambitious project because it was over 5 feet tall which required special soil engineering and permitting. It was further complicated by the fact that it had a fence on top of it, and it was also near neighbors property which always causes anxiety for everybody. He and his team navigated the social relationships with the neighbors and the technical challenges like the soil engineering and other factors gracefully and effectively. We were very pleased. We had a variety of requests and conditions during the project and he was very flexible about accommodating them. I would gladly work with him and his team again.

Owner on site and supervises activity. Excellent and ethical contractor,. Really knows his stuff and does quality work.

Our project went very well. We have property that, in the backyard, adjoined a small woods. It was purchased by a commercial builder and entailed them taking down about 80% of the woods, and hence, our privacy and screening to a 40mph road. The commercial property, adjacent, is currently only slated to add minimum plantings so we want to get re-growth going. Van Buren Landscape helped advising and selecting trees and plantings toward renewing the view and privacy. We appreciated their responsiveness, recommendations, flexibility in discussion, work done well, and very excellent plant/tree product. As well, the owner, Greg, was knowledgeable and also personable. His team worked hard, and kept things moving forward, dealing with rain issues as well. Appreciate their work, would hire again. Location is Plymouth, Minnesota, USA.

They were booked for the rest of the season. But they told me promptly so I could look elsewhere.

We met with Greg last fall to discuss our project and chose his ideas because we felt he better understood our goals (and thus didn't 'overkill' what was supposed to be a relatively simple and clean project). The price was quite satisfactory as well. Even though weather this summer meant we had to wait a bit longer than we would have liked (that's Mother Nature's fault though), Greg always kept us in the look on when our job would come up. The actual work was done quickly and professionally, and we are very pleased with the results. We are looking forward to the resulting flora in all of our new perennials!

Excellent work! Greg and his crew are all extremely pleasant and professional to deal with. We have hired them for several projects over the past five plus years, and have been pleased with all of the results. Greg designed and his crew planted our entire front landscape with an excellent variety of plants and shrubbery that bloom throughout the season. We have them scheduled to come back this spring to do more work.

I was happy with the design and impressed with the installation. Everything was great. Except one of the bushes died over the winter. I called them in the spring and they came out and replaced it, free of charge, digging a deeper hole and adding more compost. They told me to call again if this one had problems.

While the project grew and lasted quite awhile it turned out great! There were 2 large walls built and we added stairs into one of them. The largest wall required an engineer. Both walls turned out great. Greg was very accomadating and also very meticulous. I would not hesitate to hire them again.

He was plenty busy so we had to wait a while to get on his schedule, but he told us that up front. Then snow came and it forced us to wait until the next spring. He was very knowledgeable in what/how to plant after he was done. His price seemed expensive, but the equipment he needed to complete the job is not cheep to buy nor maintain.

Greg is very knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. We communicated by phone and email a few times before the job to coordinate details and finalize the schedule based on weather conditions. He came on time and did the work as expected and discussed. Some of the work needs to be finished I. The spring, and I look forward to having him out to finish the job.

Our Association has been working with Van Buren for 3 plus years. The results have been excellent from planning to implementation to quality of work. They are timely and professional. We have not experienced any issues at all with any of the work they have done which includes major landscaping to large retaining wall projects. From a personal standpoint, I appreciate the honesty, communications/review of the work and accessibility if there are any questions. I would highly recommend Van Buren Landscaping.

Very friendly, knowledgeable, and quick. Quote was very reasonable but we felt that the job might be a little bit bigger than the typical work he does. After three quotes we chose a different provider.

Looks like it should do the job. Some minor damage to the trim on garage was reported to me promptly and repairs have been scheduled. Seems very trustworthy.

It went very well. Greg is knowledgeable, professional, thinks outside the box, and does quality work. He even trimmed a tree and added some dirt to areas without charging me. Greg and his crew were polite and made sure the area was clean when they were done for the day. I would recommend them to anyone having grading issues.

Greg and his crew at Van Buren Landscaping did a great job on my landscape remodeling project. They presented a detailed plan ahead of time with exactly what would be done and included both drawings and a material list. They came in and got the job done in about three days and checked back with me afterwards to make sure that I was completely satisfied. I've used them before and will do so again.

Greg is so easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable about choosing the right mix of plants for the location. He was careful to double check the location of our property lines and have the utilities marked to ensure a safe and appropriate landscape installation. His crew were hard working and respectful. The end result is beautiful. The lawn was not damaged despite the large amount of activity and equipment used. This is the second project that we have hired Van Buren Landscape to do and we are glad that we did.

I contacted Van Buren Landscape to quote out some landscaping that my wife and I wanted done at our home. He came out and I walked him around the property and told him what we were looking to have done. Since we wanted to have a lot of landscaping done he was going to put together a plan and quote and get back to us in 2 weeks. Approximately 8 weeks later he finally contacted us to let us know he had not started on the plan yet, we kindly said there was no longer a need because we had selected a different landscaper.

It went very well. Very professional and respectful. Timing just wasn't right.

Greg arrived and we discussed my initial thoughts, and after some discussion and looking at my yard, Greg had a fantastic idea to level off a portion of my backyard, build a retaining wall and then fill that to level and complete the job. He was willing to allow me to build the sandbox to save some cost. Ultimately we did not have the work performed because we are debating moving, however I would absolutely hire Greg to do the work if we were staying. He is professional and very creative, and his price was actually lower than I expected, especially after going with his idea.
