Patrick and his team are always a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Richard Little, April 2019** > Our project consisted of re-landscaping, aggregate patios and walkways, a gas firepit and a new lawn. This may be a little smaller than many of Zaremba's projects, but during the planning, design, execution and follow-up, they treated us like a million dollar customer. The results are stunning. They created a peaceful shaded oasis in the Village that makes us smile each time we walk out the back door. People still stop by, say that they have heard about this project and ask to see it. Their reactions say it all. Great results! **★★★★★ — Paul Corneliussen, April 2019** > We worked with Zaremba and Company on a large landscape improvement project on our lakefront home. Their approach to the design was fantastic as it picked up on the natural opportunities of a Michigan lakeside retreat. Their installation crew is very sensitive and completed their work in a timely manner. As the Owner of an architectural firm, we have hired their team on many commercial projects also. The are talented, respectful and very sensitive to the goals of their projects. **★★★★★ — Jeff, April 2019** > Wow! That is the first words that come to mind when I think of Zaremba & Co. What a great company! We hired them to prepare and implement a master plan for our property that was constructed through three years. Shannon did a tremendous job in listening to our thoughts and ideas and then guided the design process to achieve our goals while interjecting important elements for consideration. The result was a cohesive plan that completely transformed our property. We have many strangers pull up in our driveway to ask us who we used for our landscaping. It's fun to walk them around the property and show them the important details to the design that most firms would have overlooked. > > As for the staff at Zaremba, everyone we dealt with from design through construction was completely professional and represented their firm well. They were courteous and dressed professionally. We use Zaremba for all of our maintenance work now and the high level of standard is carried through into their maintenance program. We enjoy the attention we receive with our spring cleanups, bed maintenance, flower planting, hedge trimming, and "tune ups" along the way. Even the winter care adds an element of distinction to our property that keeps the neighbors talking. **★★★★★ — Mark, April 2019** > This is my fourth project with Patrick since 1990. Each time I relied on him to use his vision and experience to develop a landscape that exceeded our expectations. Excellent attention to detail, diligent staff on site and in the office. **★★★★★ — Alissa Jacobs, April 2019** > I can't say enough good things about Zaremba & Co. We have used them for two properties and they are top-notch in all aspects. They are do amazing design work and the finished products are truly beautiful! One of my favorite things about working with them is how responsive they are and good with timely communication and follow-through. They are also very tidy and keep the properties in great shape when working on projects. One of my favorite companies to work with. **★★★★★ — Matt Kornmeier, April 2019** > We used Zaremba for a new residential development. Their design work is innovative and cutting edge. Their execution and installation was first rate and professional. **★★★★★ — Tracey Epley, April 2019** > We have been working with Patrick on our large landscape project for the last two years, and every step of the way we have been completely blown away by his professionalism, his creativity, his organization, and his follow-through. Patrick has a gift. He has an artistic eye, and is able to take a blank canvas and visualize what should be there, and then create a beautiful, functional landscape that complements the style of the house and meets the desires of the owners. From the start, he was very organized and professional. He created a design based on our vision, and through a process of revisions was able to adapt it to fit our budget. He worked with us to stage the project over a five year period, but after the first stage was completed (see pics below) we loved it so much that we immediately wanted to move forward with the rest of it. We have not been disappointed. He started the project on time and finished it when he said he would, and it was exactly on budget to the penny. > > He obviously isn't able to do this on his own. His team is second to none. His office staff is interactive, his onsite construction manager sends us photos and updates on the project weekly, and more often when we are away, and the workers are professional, courteous, and hard-working. The entire team pays impeccable attention to detail, and the quality of their work and the materials that they use are the best we have ever seen. > > We could not be happier with Patrick, his team, and the work they have done for us, and we will continue to use them for all of our landscape design and maintenance needs for as long as they are willing to drive the 60 miles to help us. **★★★★★ — Jim and Karrie DeLuca, April 2019** > We hired Zaremba & Company to do the landscaping around our backyard pool project. The entire process moved seamlessly from design, to hardscapes, to trees & shrubs, to irrigation & lawn. The finished product was nothing short of amazing. We were so happy with the results, we hired him the following year to completely redo the front of our home. In addition, we've hired Patrick's Maintenance Team to provide turnkey landscaping maintenance service for the last two years - about to move into our third season together. It keeps the property looking as good as it did on Day One! One final comment, Patrick's employees are outstanding - professional, courteous, hard working, and always willing to go above and beyond. > > We highly recommend Zaremba & Company for all of your landscaping needs! **★★★★★ — Charlotte Cooper, March 2019** > We updated a 1920's home in Clarkston in 2008, and needed the yard completely landscaped. Our architect briefly described a plan to Patrick, who returned in 24 hours with a perfect layout. It was installed while we were out of town, and we continue to use the company for yearly maintenance. Eleven years later, we still have the prettiest property in the village, and often recommend Zaremba & Company to others for design, installation, and maintenance. **★★★★★ — Robert Hubregsen, March 2019** > Patrick And His Crew Have Done Numerous Projects For Me Over The Years. From New Patios, New Landscaping, Replacing Trees, Stonework, and Yearly Maintenance It’s Always Been “Over The Top”. Their Professionalism And Creativity Is Simply Amazing. I Will Never Use Anyone Else. See Photos Of Deer Lake Property! **★★★★★ — Capaldi Building Company, March 2019** > We have had a relationship with Patrick for 20+ years and have watched the company grow into a very successful business. Zaremba & Company has a fantastic design background and is very knowledgable in the industry. Patrick understands that each project is unique in its own way and does a great job designing to meet your specific style and taste. Any great relationship in the construction industry requires solid communication and Zaremba & Company has never let us down. A trustworthy company that will put out an amazing product every time. ## Selected projects - [Clarendon Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clarendon-project-pj-vj~7355980) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Clarkston Historic Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clarkston-historic-residence-pj-vj~7169302) - Location: City of the Village of Clarkston, MI - Photos: 10 - Description: The goal of this lakeside project was to enhance the timeless beauty of a historic home while celebrating its connection to the water.

The existing site was overshadowed by a massive concrete drive that was in disrepair and did not provide adequate drainage. Through a series of design exercises exploring layout and material options, we worked with the client to create a garden that blends a more appropriately-sized drive with a carefully-appointed landscape. The result is a simple yet effective design that complements the warm aesthetic of the residence and echoes the cl… - [Gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gardens-pj-vj~493029) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 27 - [Village of Clarkston Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/village-of-clarkston-project-pj-vj~5586335) - Location: Clarkston, MI - Photos: 8 - Description: This charming garden in Clarkston adds vibrant life and color to the residence.
