Description of Work: Benson enterprises tore out all of the shrubbery in my front yard and designed a boulder garden that blends in with my existing rock wall. From design to tear out to installation Benson enterprises did a fantastic job! Their crew was productive, careful, thorough, and neat in the work performed. The designer and manger both visited the site to ensure the work was in accordance with the agreed design. I would wholeheartedly recommend them for other work should I have the need for it.

Description of Work: Benson did a fall cleanup and gutter cleaning. The results are excellent. I continue to use Benson for lawn and yard work because of their expertise in maintaining the foundation plantings and other landscaping completed several years ago. The result is that the plantings and beds continue to look new and well cared for. Doing the major pruning in the Fall dormant season seems to have the longest lasting effect on the look and balance throughout the growing season with minimal upkeep required by me. The work was thorough and the site was left very clean. The removed from the site some small amounts of brush from my own work on older installations in the rear of the lot. I am a well satisfied customer and recommend Benson for design, installation, and maintenance.

They did a great job with the design, altering it to meet our specifications (mainly being little upkeep/maintence required by us). They dug up the front lanscaping and put it back together in 1 day. It was free of snow for a few weeks and it looked great but we didnt get to see the yard in full bloom because it has snowed since, so we are anxiously awaiting what it will look like this sping/summer. Prices were not the cheapest in town but they did a great job.
Description of Work: We were looking for a landscaping overhaul for the entire yard, first contacted Benson just for a design. We were going to do the work ourselves but then decided to have them do it. To save money we asked them to do the front and side yard in November when it was a bit cheaper. This spring/summer we will have them do the backyard.

This company has done several jobs at my home, beginning with a full landscape design and implementation, later incorporating a backyard pool design, with waterfall, then designing and installing low voltage landscape lighting. They are truly a full service landscape company, with an excellent landscape architect, and a professional, courteous and hardworking crew. The fact that they have returned to my home to do additional projects after the original hire, speaks volumes. There seemed to be no limit to the scope of their abilities, but also treated every detail with equal importance. They were more than willing to give me exactly what I asked for, but were also forthcoming with their professional opinion when they felt I was going in the wrong direction. And isn't that why we hire professionals?
Description of Work: Extensive foundation plantings, landscaping, hardscape - retaining walls, steps, patio, pool decking, waterfall, landscape lighting. Pls. note amount spent was for several separate (but integrated) jobs, over the course of two + years.

They have done great work in the past, but this year they were a little sloppy. Given how much it costs, I would have expected more care be taken.

Greg contacted me & let me know when his crew would be here. He personally comes daily to instruct his crew & coordinate the work. The guys were very nice & respectful & knew what they were doing. They removed small trees & bushes & planted new plants that were in my design plan. The yard started taking shape & looking great!! I couldn't believe the difference!! My yard now looks like a small park or haven! I just love it!
Description of Work: I have a small square shaped fenced in yard. I wanted something softer & less angular. I spoke with Greg Fritz who came over & took measurements, heard my ideas & wishes, & he came back within 2 weeks with a beautiful landscape design plan. I modified it with some plants that I had checked out & looked up via the internet & thats how the final design was implemented. Greg was very easy to work with. He listened to me & modified the plan as needed or desired. He returned my phone calls & treated my little job like it was important to him. I really appreciated that.

We originally contracted with him to do the walkway but he did such a good job that we decided to use him to do the planting. It took him 2 days to do each job but he did a wonderful job and was very professional. We highly recommend him.

Met with us to ascertain our desires for project. Sent design alternatives in the mail in timely fashion. Assisted with selection of materials for walk/sitting area. Performed work on schedule with excellent workmanship. Owner (Scott Benson) was on site frequently to monitor progress. Throughout entire process, Scott called to keep us informed of progress. When project finished, I called to remind Scott about a couple of incomplete items. He and/or crew members returned right away and finished the job. (These items included proper screws to affix lamp to lamppost, minor tree trimming and seeding area compacted by backhoe.) I said n/a regarding price because we did not get competitive bids.

Benson Enterprises does great work. Very detail orientated and professional staff. They are a little pricey but I guess you get what you pay for. You could use another company for a lower price but you would not get the great results that Benson offers.
