MJS Landscaping Services
Sod Installers in Milwaukee
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 19, 2016
“We had an amazing experience with MJS Landscaping. We were referred to the company by a friend (who also happens to be an employee at MJS). Tracy, our designer, walked us through the entire process with professionalism and grace. She was available whenever we needed her and always responded to our questions in a timely fashion. She took our vision (a couple who has never built a new home/had to do landscaping before) and made it reality. Even when we needed to cut a few items to stay within budget - she worked with us to make it happen. Ruben and his crew were wonderful to work with. They worked quickly and efficiently. They were also wonderful about keeping the site as neat as possible. Our finished project exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Tracy and MJS Landscaping to anyone needing landscaping services.”
Integrity Landscape Services LLC
Sod Installers in Milwaukee
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 11, 2017
“When you look up the definition of integrity in the dictionary, it reads: "the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness." Its synonyms include honesty, honor, good character, principle(s), ethics, morals, virtue, decency, fairness, sincerity, truthfulness, and trustworthiness. In our experience, Integrity Landscape Services, LLC embodied all of this and more! After a concrete contractor destroyed our property while pouring inferior concrete, with virtually no foundation, creating significant drainage issues, David came out in a timely fashion and immediately suggested ways in which his company could bring peace and beauty back to our yard. His team removed the majority of the subpar concrete, laid pavers to cover our front stoop, front and back walkways, patio and back stairs. They removed the damaged vegetation, planted numerous bushes and shrubs, corrected grading issues left by the previous contractors, installed a small retaining wall with drain tile and catch basin, and filled in our existing gardens, all in an effort to provide proper pitch and drainage. Their team of workers, WORK! There's not a lot of unnecessary chatter, and the foreman, Steve, not only supervises, but also works along with his team with professionalism and respect. Even amidst the chaos, the work site was kept clean and passable at all times. They honestly go above and WAY BEYOND to make sure their projects are perfection and their customers are awe struck. They proved to us, without a shadow of a doubt, that there are professional, honest, and exceptionally skilled contractors out there! We couldn't be more pleased with the results. We HIGHLY recommend them!”

“Mr Olson and his crew built my retaining wall last year as well as added some planting’s. I did not have much experience as far as materials or plants and he walked me through the process explaining each plant etc as well as gave me some great recommendations. I will definitely hire his team again when I am ready for a full patio addition.”
Finishing Touches Landscaping

Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsMarch 31, 2015
“My husband and I highly recommend Finishing Touches. The owner, Brad Lois, was very responsive, knowledgeable and open to our design ideas. He sought the most cost effective ways to provide the high quality patio and other features that we were seeking. Many of the crew members modeled the same behavior as they executed our collective vision in a helpful and pleasant manner. We often receive compliments along the lines of "wow!" and are very happy with the result.”

CREATESCAPE LANDSCAPING SVC

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 21, 2017
“We have been working with Createscape for over 20 years both in a residential and corporate setting. The fact that we've been with them for such a long time should say it all. I cannot begin to count the number of jobs they have done for us....from the smallest plant to large trees and rock walls. We have always been extremely happy with the results as well as the personnel. Everyone is courteous and professional as well as timely. Missy has always been conscientious of budgets and schedules. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for any scale job. They have proven themselves time after time.”

Ground Affects Landscaping Inc
Sod Installers in Milwaukee
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 23, 2014
“Tom and the Ground Affects team were great! We have used them for our landscaping needs in the past and have been very happy. This time they worked on our very sad lakeside lot. Terraces, walls, steps and plantings were done perfectly! Tom worked diligently with the DNR and county on all plans and their requirements for revisions. Our lot is very steep to the lake and he had to coordinate bringing the materials and equipment in on a barge. Needless to say, this whole project was extremely difficult. Our "after picture" is so much more than 100 times better then our "before picture." I have been and will be recommending Ground Affects Landscaping to anyone I know who needs work done. Love, Love, Love the job they did!!”

Landscaper FAQs
The duration depends on the lawn size and preparation needs, but most residential projects are completed within 1-2 days. Larger or more complex landscapes requiring significant soil preparation or custom solutions might take longer. Consultation with your installer will provide a more precise timeline based on your specific situation.
Selecting the right type of sod involves considering your local climate, soil type, sun exposure, and water availability. Common types include Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine, and Fescue, each with specific care requirements and benefits. Professional sod installers can provide guidance based on soil testing and local experience, ensuring the sod type matches your environmental conditions and maintenance preferences.
Homeowners should clear the lawn area of debris, furniture, and toys. Marking out sprinkler heads, utility lines, and similar obstacles can prevent damage. Ensuring easy access to the lawn area for large rolls of sod and equipment is also helpful. Discuss with your installer if additional steps like old lawn removal or soil treatment are needed before installation.
Installers use their experience to address challenges such as uneven ground (by leveling and compacting soil), poor soil quality (through amendments or topsoil), shade (selecting shade-tolerant grass types), and drainage issues (installing drainage solutions or grading the lawn). They assess your site-specific challenges during the consultation to plan effective solutions.
Yes, eco-friendly options include selecting drought-tolerant grass types to reduce water usage, opting for organic soil amendments, and choosing local sod farms to decrease transportation emissions. Discussing these preferences with your installer can help identify sustainable practices that align with your environmental values.
After installation, itʼs crucial to follow the watering schedule recommended by your installer, generally involving deep watering to encourage deep root growth. Avoid walking on new sod until itʼs firmly rooted, and begin mowing when it reaches recommended height. A maintenance plan including fertilization, aeration, and overseeding as needed will help your lawn thrive long-term. Consult your sod installer for a personalized care plan.
