Our landscape architect, Jeff, worked with me for 6+ months to develop a very detailed plan. He provided multiple options, and was very responsive as we refined the design. He respected my vision, and also gave excellent advice on design and materials from his experience. The work crews were very respectful, and did the best they could to clean up every day before they left. The quality of work is excellent- we love our new space! There were a few issues along the way, which always happens in large projects. Jeff coordinated having them taken care of quickly, and with no fuss. The Eisler team was the most responsive home improvement business I've ever worked with, and as a customer that gets into the details, I really appreciate that. I spoke with a few other design/build firms that were lower cost, but ultimately I am very glad I went with Eisler for this large (for me, anyway) project. I recommend them wholeheartedly. **Comment from Eisler Landscapes:** > Thank you so much Stephanie for your kind words! Working with clients like yourself is always the best part of our job. We hope you and your family enjoy your new outdoor space. Many thanks for your review and photos from all of us at Eisler. ### All 10 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-356664514, Dec. 2020** > Eisler completed a project for my husband and I and we were so happy with their service and expertise. They removed an existing cracked concrete patio and stairs and then re-poured the patio, installed a privacy fence around the perimeter of our backyard, removed some major tree stumps and put in a new gravel driveway. The work was completed flawlessly, on budget and in a timely fashion. Highly recommend! **Comment from Eisler Landscapes:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark. **★★★★★ — Lyndsey Sierra, Jan. 2019** > Eisler was the MOST professional contractor I've ever worked with. They exceeded our expectations. The contract was clearly outlined - item by item so there were no surprises or charges we didn't see or understand. They were neat, clean and out of our way. The workers were friendly, nice and a pleasure. At the end when they had to put our side yard "back together", they left it NICER than how it started. They finished the work in HALF the time they said they would. That never happens! I'd work with them again and again and again and recommend them to everyone. **Comment from Eisler Landscapes:** > Lyndsey, > Thank you very much for your kind words and I will pass them along to the crew and Jeff. We truly appreciate you and working with wonderful, gracious clients like yourself! > Haley **★★★★★ — Susan Crookston, Nov. 2018** > I could not recommend Eisler and Eric French more highly. They've been integral to the creation of Aspinwall Riverfront Park. Their projects finish on time and on budget. They are creative problem solvers and truly "own" the work, often dropping by after its finished to check that all is still as it should be. I consider Eisler part of our team. They do more than what is asked and are just generally helpful. The staff is trustworthy and they clean up well. **Comment from Eisler Landscapes:** > Susan, thank you for your wonderful and thoughtful review! We look forward to continuing to grow the Park with you! **★★★★★ — Brett R, Oct. 2017** > 100% would call Eisler again for my landscaping and design needs. Our project manager (Scott) was very atune to our project needs and was regularly onsite. Pleasure to work with. We love our new space!! **★★★★★ — Cathy Kerr, Oct. 2017** > Design engineer listened to my objectives. Landscape proposal was carefully thought out. Accomplished my goal, which was to provide a mature attractive front entry, to provide privacy to our patio, and to provide noise reduction. Team effort was amazing. All crew were respectful. All crew were hard working. Throughout landscape project, our property was never left unsightly, and, upon completion was presented neat, tidy, and gorgeous. **Comment from Eisler Landscapes:** > Thank you for your kind words Cathy! We are so pleased to hear that you had a great experience with our crew members. **★★★★★ — Marsha Bramowitz, Oct. 2017** > I have worked with Eisler Nurseries and Landscape and specifically with landscape architect, Jeff Genter, for more than a decade. Upon the recommendation of another landscape firm, a wholesale client of Eisler Nurseries, I engaged Eisler to fulfill my vision to plant shade, ornamental and specimen trees, all deciduous, to complement the mature trees on our one acre urban property. Jeff has an encyclopedic knowledge of trees and shrubs that he integrates into his creative and detailed landscape designs. Jeff is a precise and engaging communicator, a gentleman, a true professional. He gave an informative tour of our trees to my garden club. I strongly recommend Jeff and the entire Eisler team for the acquisition of healthy young trees and top notch landscape design and installation. Client satisfaction is their priority. **Comment from Eisler Landscapes:** > Marsha, thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experiences working with Jeff and to share pictures of your landscape! We love to build lasting relationships with our clients and are so happy that you are pleased with our work. **★★★★★ — kathy hall, Oct. 2017** > Eisler landscaping has completed 2 different jobs at our home. They designed and built a beautiful patio with a kitchen and fireplace that has become one of our favorite places to be and relax.. They also put in new cement stairs and landscaping in the front of our home. The craftmanship was above any thing we anticipated. The whole process was very smooth professional. I would highly recommend Eisler landscaping to anyone. **Comment from Eisler Landscapes:** > Kathy, we are so glad that you are enjoying your patio space, and that you had a good experience with our team. Thank you for your kind words! **★★★★★ — Chris Pavone, Sept. 2017** > Eisler Landscapes designed and installed a patio, fountain and arbor in a 9' x 30' weed infested lot that came with our townhome in Riverside Mews/Southside Pittsburgh neighborhood. Workmanship was excellent. The materials were high quality. The site was managed and kept clean. The budgeted price was met. The project was completed on time. Follow up service was professional and addressed any issues. I would not hesitate to use them again. **Comment from Eisler Landscapes:** > Thank you for your review Chris! We really appreciate it! **★★★★★ — kary52, June 2015** > We appreciate your expertise and professionalism. It can be really HARD to work with other landscape contractors. It's a relief when your bid is selected. In my experience, quality workmanship and materials are the norm when working with Eisler.. ## Selected projects - [The Entertaining Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-entertaining-oasis-pj-vj~1484779) - Location: Allison Park, PA - Photos: 10 - Description: This fabulous backyard started as a flat lawn with a small patio.
