**★★★★★ — Tim Sullivan, Oct. 2016**

> We moved into a newly constructed house in April and needed to have landscaping work completed to not only meet our neighborhood’s HOA requirements, but to have a property which reflects our personalities. A relative recommended Barkman because of their very positive experience in the past.
> From the very start, we were very impressed with the Barkman team and the initial phone call and meeting. Mark was a complete professional and knew exactly how to develop a plan we would like. He took the time to answer all my questions and took a close look at the property. He returned with a very detailed plan for our landscape. They also broke the contract proposal down into different pieces so that we could perform the work for which we had the budget and can budget for the future work.
> The team could answer all my questions in between signing the contract and starting the work and were flexible as changes were needed. There were no surprises, which is always a very good thing when starting a project of a large magnitude.
> The crew arrived on the promised day and daily progress was noticeable. They were always friendly and willing answer questions. At the end of the job, they made sure everything was working and cleaned up the site. It was obvious they took pride in their work and cared to make sure the landscape looked as good as we anticipated.
> After the job was completed, Mark came back out personally to review the work. He also gave a detailed explanation of how to care for the plants both initially as they are getting established and long term so that our landscape remains looking as good as the day it was completed. Any issues after the work was completed were handled promptly and without hesitation. Barkman truly stands behind his work. We are going to hire Barkman Landscaping long term to eventually complete the master plan they laid out for our property.

**★★★★★ — jill\_langen, Sept. 2016**

> Barkman Landscaping consistently provides exceptional service. They are timely, efficient and provide great follow up. I highly recommend this company.

**★★★★★ — carathop, May 2016**

> Barkman's name was given to us by good friends who had hired them in the past.  We initially hired them to solve a simple drainage problem.  That least to them maintaining our sprinkler system.  After living in the house for a couple of years and having some idea of what we wanted, we called them back for a major overhaul of our landscaping.  Barkman developed a comprehensive master plan that we were able to implement in phases, tied into other renovation work for the house.  We couldn't be happier with how it turned out.  Now we have them maintaining the beds as well.  You definitely need to given them a call.

**★★★★★ — Dennis Schaefer Building & Design, Aug. 2015**

> Barkman Landscape did a fantastic job reworking the 20 year old sprinkler system at have at my home. Greg Taft their technician worked tirelessly to find all defects and made the corrections. My lawn hasn't look this good in a long time now the system works properly. Thank you Greg and Barkman Landscape!
