Grading Services

Project A - Brick Paver job. 1997 first driveway and patio walk and sidewalk. Absolutely beautiful project. Still looks beautiful and perfect 16 years later. All finished grading and landscape from grading fill, finish topsoil, plantings. Planning all facets. Gorgeous. I would like to ad we had native prairie, and he incorporated our finished landscape in a way it did not impede on the native prairie. The birds and native plants were so beautiful, our yard was featured on a garden tour in 1997 approximate date. Project B - New home construction - (two homes). All excavating on complicated lot. Lot prep for two homes. Dug basements to perfection. One with inground pool, and one with full walkout. Escavated that project with ease. Very timely mannor. Precise work. He also did all finish grading on all three homes, and landscaping. He has extreme knowledge in horticulture, and his skills and design work are phenominal. He also did a extremely good job on what could have been a complicated drainage situation on the last two homes. They are very close to one another. I would also note he excavated around very very old mature oak trees. One right next to our home, and never suggested cutting any down. When the project was complete, it appeared as though our homes were built for a few years, as we still had most all our existing beautiful oak and hickory trees. He also laid sod, and did a perfect job on that. He cuts beautiful curves into the finished landscape. If anybody would like to call or see our properties, just ask Brian to contact us. Arrangements could be made at any time. He also put Large Block retaining walls, on the lower level of the second home with the full walk out. Still perfect to date. They were installed in 2001. Two tears on one, and One tear on the other. Brian is so well versed. He can read all construction and home plans. He is the only man for the job for us. I have never had any contractor come close to the level of services he has provided us. His services are over the top in terms on knowledge and perfection. I can not say enough. You will be so happy if you decide to contract him.

This was our third experience with Brian. Brian brought his knowledge to each of our jobs. When we first moved to Wisconsin, we bought a home in a new subdivision. The yard was stone and clay. Brian came highly recommended to us by a neighbor. He transformed that yard from muck to truly one of the nicest yards in the subdivision (per compliments by our neighbors). We hired Brian again when we moved to our current home. We put in a new driveway and needed the yard graded on both sides and additional soil brought in. Again, we were exceptionally pleased with his work. Our last encounter with Brian was to prepare the perimeter from the front of the house to the back of the house, so that flagstone patios and a walkway could be put in. Brian worked diligently until the grade was just right and the gravel base for the stone packed properly. He referred us to a stone company and together he helped us pick a stone. He was able to make sure the base was the correct height for the stone. We have hired Brian over and over because he provides a very high quality service. He has integrity and is honest. His prices are fair and he has always stuck true to his initial estimate of the job. There have been no surprises. He knows exactly what needs to be done with the job prior to starting the job. Brian is resourceful. He knows the area and where to get the best quality materials at good prices. I highly recommend Brian Buchholtz for his expertise in grading/landscaping.
