**★★★★★ — HU-865314327, Aug. 2025**

> Aspen Landscaping is amazing! From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. Eric and Lindsey’s creativity and passion truly transformed our yard, and the crew (special shoutout to Sam & Anders!) went above and beyond. If you want a team that really knows landscaping and cares about every detail, Aspen is the one to call!

**★★★★★ — Jon Ide, May 2020**

> We needed to have our yard regraded to keep our basement from flooding in heavy rain. Aspen did a perfect job for us. The grading is subtle – so it looks great – but it channels the rainwater perfectly. Most of the yard had to be graded, which meant that it also needed to be fertilized, reseeded, and watered. In addition, Aspen put in a bunch of very attractive boulders along the edge of the yard and installed sod in places that really needed it. We couldn’t be happier with the result. Eric was an absolute pleasure to work with. He answered all of our questions and listened to all of our concerns, and he and his crew exceeded our expectations, coming back repeatedly to check on things and do additional reseeding that they threw in for free. We would gladly use Aspen again, and we recommend them to anyone else looking for landscaping work.

**★★★★★ — Matt Heilman, Jan. 2017**

> Top notch!  Eric Jacobsen was genuine, honest, priced right, and went above and beyond.  Eric did some regrading on the side of our house and some basic landscape work.  The work was outstanding.  He came back to the house on multiple occasions just to check out that the grass was coming in properly and the grading was done to my satisfaction after some rainfalls.  I can't recommend Eric highly enough.

**Comment from Aspen Garden and Landscape, LLC:**

> Thanks Matt,  It was a pleasure to work with you.  I'm happy the regrading work we completed has worked well for you and made these early-season rain showers less stressful. Be sure to keep in touch and let me know if you experience any issues with settling or the lawn not thriving in those regraded areas.

**★★★★★ — eegriff, March 2016**

> Aspen Garden and Landscape did excellent work designing and building a brick patio for my backyard.  The owner Eric Jacobson was great to work with.  In the design phase, Eric listened to my ideas for the space and made smart suggestions.  My backyard gently slopes toward the house so he had the idea to build a small wall and garden area into the slope.  It was a great design.  In the build phase, Eric really put in the time to make sure everything came together the way that it was supposed to.  As an added bonus, Eric did a great job improving the landscape.  He picked plants that are easy to maintain and look great.  Cost was reasonable and transparent.  Eric itemized his bid and his invoice so I knew exactly what I was paying for.  My wife and I love the finished product.  We get lots of compliments from friends and neighbors.  We recommended Eric to several friends and they all report similarly great work.  I highly recommend you consider Aspen Garden and Landscape if you are looking to do an outdoor project.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Are these plants drought tolerant?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am looking to have a drought tolerant hillside garden area with rocks, crushed granite, etc.  It has to be low maintenance.

A: Thanks Cheryl : ) . I would look for native plants from your specific area that are listed as drought tolerant.  Native prairie plants often have deep roots that help them to better tolerate drought and also really improve the soils over time.  If you are looking for a "prairie" look search for plants in the dry- dry/mesic- mesic categories rather than plants that are more suited to wet prairies.  

Another consideration is to be sure you choose plants that aren't overly aggressive if you are hoping for a low-maintenance garden.  Some plants (both native and non-native) can spread aggressively by seed or vegetatively.    

You may want to reach out to a local extension agent or university for resources.  Groups like Wild Ones or other sustainable gardening groups often have local chapters with great resources. Finding a local landscape designer with appropriate expertise would be another great option.

Thanks - Eric
