### Reviews

**★ — Sarah Johnson, April 2026**

> Mark made a lot of promises and was poorly organized, days would go by where nobody would show up as scheduled. Have since had to have parts of the patio redone, drainage was not done properly as we now have sinking and heaving, large gaps and the limestone is deteriorating.

**Comment from MH3 Design Group:**

> Hello Sarah, I am very sorry to read about these issues. I am just now reading about this and hearing about it for the first time after we completed the project in the fall of 2019. We have a 3 year warranty on all our paver and wall work, and although this is 7 years after the installation was completed, I would be more than happy to take a look at this to see what can be done. I was unaware that this was even happening and to reiterated, I am just seeing this now. Again, I'd be more than happy to come over and take a look at the situation to see what can be done. Sincerely, Mark Hauri

**★★★★★ — Dan Scherer, Oct. 2025**

Each landscape design and execution is more impressive than the last. The team at MH3 Design is highly motivated to create a unique outdoor experience to match your vision for your property. By far the most talented landscape company I have ever worked with.

**★★★★★ — bmk56, May 2023**

**Comment from MH3 Design Group:**

> Thank you for the kind words Chad! Our team at MH3 loves the opportunity to work with you whenever we can.

**★★★ — Katie Falkowski, April 2021**

> This review is a tough one to write. We hired Mark and his crew back in 2019 to transform our backyard into a complete oasis: pool, boulder walls, fire pit, decking, trees and additional landscaping.
> While what he did do has been done extremely well and turned out amazing- we are still left sitting with projects incomplete and of course paid for.
> Toward the end of our project we were promised many “things” that never actually happened- and eventually he became silent. Not returning texts/emails/phone calls.
>
> We would love to turn this review into a 5 star for the work that Mark and MH3 performed- but until our project is completed matching our paid contract...I can’t truthfully do so.

## Community Q&A

**Q: can i get the list of plants in the 1st waterfall picture, thx** *(in Photo Questions)*

or all the plants/flowers/shrubs in the complete yard would be great, thx

A: Kym, Thank you for reaching out.  Here is a quick list of what you see:
Fire Glow Sedum (creeping, red flowering groundcover), Japanese Dwarf Junipers (spreading evergreens over walls), Barbara Mitchell Daylilies (salmon colored flowers), Chicago Apache Daylilies (red daylilies), Magnus Coneflowers (pink daisy like flowers), Dwarf Blue Globe Spruce (blue evergreen), Foxi Pavement Roses (pink shrub roses), Blackeyed Susans (yellow flowers), Ceasars' Brother Iris (spike looking plant, purple flowers), Autumn Fire Sedum (green sedum in front of left waterfeature - not flowering yet), Spring Snow Crab of corner of house (white, doesn't set fruit), and Dwarf Korean Lilac tree in the middle (lilac/pink - just about to flower in this photo).  The main flowering time frame is early Summer through early fall with some sprinkling of May flowering and Fall flowering.  Evergreens help with our winter interest. Hope this helps.  Let me know if you need anything else.  Sincerely, Mark Hauri

**Q: What stone is this on the house?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Siding

A: This stone was a custom blend used by the builder.

**Q: What are the bright pink ground cover flowers.** *(in Photo Questions)*

They are growing on the bank of the Troy Burne Project.  They look like the might be succulent.

A: These are Fireglow Sedum.  They get about 4-5" tall and each plant spreads about 18" wide.  Another very similar variety is Dragon's Blood Sedum.  They start flowering in early June and will last into mid August.

**Q: Where is the house number from ?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The house numbers for this project were custom fabricated at our metal shop.  They are very easy to commission to have made.  We mounted them on a Fond Du Lac outcropping stone.  I could help you make them if you'd like.  The way I do it is using Word on the computer.  If you type your numbers in, you can try any and all the different fonts to see how that looks.  Then, you can size them accordingly based on where they will be.  You can then print them off and bring them to a metal shop along with a computer copy of them (sent via email or USB drive).  Feel free to contact me with any other questions.

**Q: What product/colors are on the exterior of the home?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Could you tell me the siding type?  Siding Color?  Trim Color, Gable end color?  Shingle color?  Brick color?  Great Combination!

A: I was commissioned to work on this project to design and install the landscape, pool, and stamped concrete surfaces so I do not know the answers to your questions.  But, the builder was Bruce Lenzen (www.brucelenzendesignbuild.com) and the interior designer was Julie Speer (www.jewelsandcointeriors.com).  The project was the Olson Project in Troy Burne, WI.  They should be able to give you the specifics on what you are looking for.  Thank you so much for your inquiry and Happy New Year!

**Q: One other question:  Which Belgard paver/color combo did you use?  This pool/deck is simply beautiful:)** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I spoke to my Belgard rep.  In the South Carolina area, you could try the Fossil Beige as a replacement for the Lannon.  It will actually have some more color tone to it as well.  He didn't think the supplier in SC (Adams Products) could get the Mega-Lafitt but he was going to check again.  He thought you could get it out of the Georgia Masonry Supplier potentially.  If you went with the Mega-Lafitt, I would go with the Belgian Stone Blend (although this might have just a bit more brown hues in it then the Ardennas Grey and Lannon or Fossil Beige).  FYI...I have used both material on a pool deck and love Belgard but I lean more towards the Mega-Bergerac because the slight tumbling takes the edge off the pavers causing a slightly better feel under foot on pool decks.  I wouldn't hesitate to use either though since they are both great products.  Let me know if I can help in anyway.  Mark
