We hired BadgerScape Design & Landscape out of Belleville, WI in the summer of 2023 to complete work for us. We waited until now to write this review as we know how harmful negative reviews can be. After waiting several months and discussing with family and friends, it was clear that we should inform others of our experience. If you do decide to hire this company, you have at least been warned that you should watch over their work very carefully. We had 3 areas of our yard that needed attention. We meet with 4 different contractors to get ideas and bids. BadgerScape Design & Landscape was one of the companies we had bid our project solely due to all the good online reviews. BadgerScape was more expensive than the other companies, but we ended up choosing them to complete our project for two reasons; we were impressed with Bryan and an idea that he presented for one of the areas and more importantly he showed confidence in diverting water away from our house in another area where the grading proved to be problematic. Bryan did have good communication with us up until the time he was ready to start with our project. These are the only positive things we have to offer from our experience. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience with BadgerScape Design & Landscape was nowhere near what was described in the other online reviews. We encountered one problem after another and were not satisfied with the quality of their work. We reached out to Bryan each time we had a concern. Unfortunately, this added up to be several calls. I am sure he was tired of hearing from us just as much as we were tired of reaching out to him. But when you pay a company thousands of dollars for work to be completed, you expect it to be completed correctly and without supervision. We are not unreasonable people and understand things happen. However, it's how the concerns were addressed and the poor workmanship after the concerns were brought to their attention is what prompted this review. Bryan made it very obvious that he was irritated each time we reach out to him. We often found ourselves apologizing to him in which we never should have been made to feel that we needed to apologize to a contractor for them completing work incorrectly. Below is just one of several issues that we encountered while working with Bryan. BadgerScapes was contracted to raise and level the cement slab under our air conditioning condenser. This slab had sunk over time and needed to be leveled out. We agreed to hire an HVAC company to come and remove the air conditioner condenser for the slab to be raised. We paid for this in addition to the contracted amount from BadgerScape's. As you can imagine, this was not cheap. Bryan called us the day before he was going to start the work which caused us to scramble in trying to find a HVAC company that was available on such short notice. When the landscapers completed this work, they did not use the correct base underneath the cement slab. We know this because I overheard them talking about it. One of the landscapers questioned the other and their response was, "she will never know because she won't see it". Once I heard this, I immediately called Bryan (he was not on site) so he could follow up with his crew to install the correct base while the air conditioner condenser was still removed from the pad. Instead of asking them to install the correct base, Bryan told me the base they used "should be fine". I specifically asked if it "will be fine" or "should be fine". Bryan said, " it should be fine" and agreed to give us a warranty that if the cement pad would ever sink or shift in the future that they would fix it free of charge. After all the work was finished that they were contracted to do, we asked for this warranty to be placed in writing before we issued final payment. Much to our surprise, Bryan flat out refused to honor what we had agreed to earlier over the phone! Contrary to the other reviews, we would never recommend using BadgerScape Design & Landscaping out of Belleville, WI for any of your landscaping needs.
We are so glad that we worked with Bryan and the Badgerscape team for our retaining wall and walkway project. Our existing retaining wall was basically falling down and needed to be replaced. We thought that we'd also like to overhaul our front yard but had no design ideas. Bryan got back to us quickly with a great design and quote and took the time to help us pick out materials that we love. He was super accommodating when we decided that we'd also like to add pavers to our off-street parking area in addition to the original retaining wall project. The work was completed even faster than we'd hoped and Bryan was super communicative throughout the whole process. We will definitely continue working with Badgerscape for all of our landscaping needs.
Awesome work! Bryan helped us coordinate the job specifics and the materials, and Will and Troy did a fantastic job. They took their time to do it right, after a big rainstorm soaked the entire site for a full week. And then they worked like crazy through 100-degree heat to re-work our planter and get the patio and integrated fire pit perfect! Their work gives us a conversation piece as well as perfectly matching our vision of where we wanted to relax in the summer and fall evenings!
Badgerscape did a great job with our project which consisted of three pages of items to accomplish. Bryan was very prompt with the initial proposal and also conducted a second visit to answer additional questions. Once the project was started, the crew arrived by 8:00am and completed a full days work. The crew was always very polite and friendly and answered any questions we had. Bryan was also very prompt to return calls and texts. Would definitely recommend to others. A great job.
We are so happy with our decision to use Badgerscape for our backyard design and installation. Bryan and his team did an amazing job and we love our new backyard. We had a new retaining wall installed, patio, fire pit and raised patio, along with garden beds, lighting, stairs, and new sod. It looks stunning, and all our neighbors have commented how impressive the new yard looks.
Bryan and his crew are great to work with! They helped tame our jungle of a front yard and turned it into a more minimal midcentury landscape. They also listened to any concerns we had and adjusted the design as the project took shape. Bryan is also very attentive and quick to respond to messages. Great experience all around.
Bryan and his team were fantastic to work with. His design was great, and he incorporated everything we asked for within our budget. His estimated timeline was fairly accurate, and the finished product was outstanding. It was well worth the investment, and we will enjoy our patio for years to come. I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone looking to put in a new backyard patio.
If anyone has or is trying to get a home project done, you know how difficult it is to get a contractor to respond or give you a quote. With Bryan, it was so easy to get a quote, have questions answered and my emails were responded to within a day. Bryan and his crew did great quality work. We had them put in a patio in the backyard and they completed it in a timely manner. I also really appreciate him taking the time to clean up after his crew. They came back and patched up the rough spots as well as planting new grass. I would recommend this company. They are respectful, reliable and professional.
Badgerscape did a great job reworking an existing paver path we had. They came when they said they would and cleaned up after, so you would never know that sod was removed, etc. They also did spring clean-up for me that wasnt originally in the quote. Very accommodating. I would definitely recommend Badgerscape! Thank you!
Shout out to Bryan for being responsive, professional, and pleasant to work with. The crew that repaired our retaining wall did an excellent job!
Badgerscape did an amazing job repairing our landscape walls. They removed the old stones and rebuilt the walls with new stone. Then they filled in with mulch and more rock. It looks amazing and would highly recommend their company !
We used BadgerScape for their design services and landscape installation. All of their services from design, products and customer interactions were first-rate.
Bryan and Badgerscape were excellent! We had a lot of projects going on and I put off the landscaping however then decided to move forward with it. Bryan fit us in and also got it done ahead of schedule even though he was very busy already. His communication and professionalism were great! We appreciate all he did and it looks GREAT! Thanks Bryan!!
Excellent in every aspect. Design, detail with work, pleasant staff, quality products, reasonably priced work and updated equipment. They installed a large courtyard with seating walls, pillars and steps.
This is the second project we had BadgerScape do for us. They did a great job putting in a new concrete pad for us in the backyard. They were thorough and fast! Reasonable prices!
We recently hired Badgerscape Design to install a block walkway for us. I would highly recommend them for your landscaping needs. Communication was top notch, they arrived when promised, the installers were great to work with, and they did a bang up job! Hire them, you won t regret it! Karen P
I am absolutely thrilled to share my 5-star experience with Bryan and his exceptional team at Badgerscape! Their work was nothing short of phenomenal, and I couldnt be happier with the results. We initially hired Badgerscape to tackle a pressing issue with one of our retaining walls, which was bleeding into our foundation. Not only did they expertly rebuild the wall, but they also took the initiative to address with us the concerns with the downspout and burying that to help with water drainage. They buried the downspout and built a great patio, going above and beyond our expectations. Every member of their team displayed a level of professionalism and expertise that left us thoroughly impressed. What truly set them apart was their attention to detail, particularly the thoughtful touch-up they performed on our lawn in areas that had been disrupted during the project. It was an unexpected but greatly appreciated gesture that demonstrated their commitment to excellence. One of the most noteworthy aspects of our experience with Badgerscape was their unwavering commitment to staying on schedule. They completed the project within the agreed-upon timeframe, which is a testament to their reliability and dedication to customer satisfaction. Looking ahead, I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to engage Badgerscape for the remainder of our landscaping needs around our property, as well as addressing another retaining wall concern. Without a doubt, they have earned my trust and loyalty, and I am excited at working with them again! I wholeheartedly endorse Bryan and the Badgerscape team for their exceptional workmanship and professionalism. If youre seeking a landscaping and hardscape company that delivers top-quality results on schedule and goes the extra mile, look no further than Badgerscape. I cant wait to hire them again for additional projects in the future!
Highly recommend Bryan Rutkowski and his team at BadgerScape. Had a small project that previous contractor could not complete on time. Bryan was able to fit us in-although it was a very busy time. He and his team completed the project on time and at price quoted. He was communicative, responsive, conscientious, accessible, and responsible. He honors his word and his work-we hope to have BadgerScape again on future projects.
Badgerscape built a beautiful brick front walkway and a backyard fire pit/patio for me. Bryan worked with me on this project since last fall, and his great communication style is what sealed the deal for me. He always was quick to respond to any questions or suggestions I had. I am very pleased with the finished project, which was completed in May. Bryan was here with his crew every day until the project was concluded. Before departing, the yard was cleaned up, bare areas seeded, and other areas mulched. I can enthusiastically recommend Badgerscape.
I hired Bryan and his company to do some fairly major yard cleanup and mulching that I simply didnt have time to do. They did an excellent job, in a timely manner, and i would definitely call them for my next project.
Bryan and his crew did an excellent job with an extensive landscaping project. Very responsive to questions and requests. Followed through efficiently with the details and did impressive work. We are extremely happy with the result and plan to use them for any needed projects in the future. Would highly recommend this company.
Brian was professional and thorough. They did a great job and our yard looks terrific! We would highly recommend BadgerScape!
My husband and I hired BadgerScape to landscape our newly built home during Spring/Summer 2019. Bryan and his crew did a great job and we are very pleased with the results of the project. We had heard stories about other landscapers who failed to show up as promised once contracted and in some cases, refused to return calls or messages once the down payment had been made. That was not our experience with Bryan. He told us his timeline and he adhered to that timeline, despite some very challenging weather conditions and many changes we made to the original plan. We chose to use Curb Appeal for landscape borders and Bryan was very willing to coordinate and work with them to accomplish our project on schedule and to our satisfaction. Bryan s crew exhibited a serious and professional work ethic. They were all friendly, polite and respectful. We plan to use Bryan and BadgerScape when we decide to complete the second phase of our landscaping in a year or two. Thank you!
We had mulching done, a couple of bushes removed, and a small tree removed. Bryan and his crew did an excellent job! Very happy with BadgerScape. They responded to my initial email very quickly and Bryan was able to come over to give me an estimate soon thereafter. Will definitely work with them again :)
Bryan and his crew did an excellent job. Bryan was very responsive to emails and always showed up on time to meet to go over plans and new ideas. The quality of work was fantastic and they cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Badger Scape and have made plans to use them again next year for additional work.
Badgerscape was fantastic! Theyre hard working and knowledgeable. They came on the day they said they would and only charged me for the hours they were on site. They got more accomplished than we had anticipated, which is also to their credit. Would definitely recommend and hire them again for future yard-related work.
BadgerScape did my landscape project on a timely manner, drama free, and up to the expectation that I asked for. Bryan and his small crew are hardworking, pleasant, and dedicated to doing the project with pride and attention to detail. I would hire them again and definitely recommend giving BadgerScape an opportunity to consult with someone looking for their own landscape needs and desires.
Bryan and his crew did an amazing job at helping make our dream patio a reality. His crew showed up ready to work and only took a couple days to complete the job! The project is a 20 fire pit area w/ 5 fire ring and a 12x12 pad for a future pavilion. We were able to enjoy our new fire pit all summer! Thanks again Bryan!
We use Badgerscape for mowing and for snow removal. They do a great job at a reasonable price. I especially appreciate that Bryan is very responsive to any questions. Definitely recommend!
Reliable, communicative, on time, excellent service! Bryan and his team are great!
I highly recommend the Badgerscape team for your snow removal needs. Even during the heaviest snows they typically clear the snow by early in the morning. They clear down to the concrete and dont scar the lawn. My search found them to be a good value.
We began using Badgerscape when the business started. We have been extremely satisfied with their work. They have handled snow removal from the beginning as well as spring and fall cleanups. They are meticulous in their work and we would highly recommend them. They have always followed up to make sure we are satisfied with the jobs they have done.
Excellent company with great prices!
We have had Badgerscape take out old scrubs and plant new ones plus relocating a downspout to an underground pipe away from the house. The work was done very professionally and thoroughly. The workers were courteous. I highly recommend this company.
We have had the pleasure to work with Badgerscape for several years both with our landscaping needs, including a large stone patio/fire place addition, and winter snow plow. Bryan and his staff are always friendly, very knowledgeable and easily accessible. We have never been disappointed! We highly recommend Badgerscape for your outdoor needs! We look forward to our ongoing relationship with them.
Great job, guys! Quality and value.
Badgerscape Design & Landscape has done snow removal at our apartment buildings for the past several years. Our residents have complimented us on how well our parking lots have been cleared and how easy it is to enter and exit our buildings even in the worse of snow storms. Badgerscape is always on time, easy to communicate with and professional. Bryan is a rockstar!
We turned to Bryan and Badgerscape for our snow removal needs. Bryan communicates well, has a team that is timely and thorough and his prices are competitive with any other landscaping business that also offers snow removal services. Thank you guys!
Bryan and his crew were on time and the workmanship was great. The quality and pricing of each plant was exceptional. We an to use Badgerscape for future projects.
I used Badgerscape to enlarge my current patio and then a second time to dig a French drain across my backyard. Both times his crew provided excellent service at a good price!! Bryan is very professional , prompt and response quickly with calls or emails. Staff is very friendly. I recommended them to two neighbors and they both hired him.
They completed the work on time and it was of good quality.
Simple process with great communication from Bryan. The design met our expectations completely and the install crew was great. Highly recommend.
Badgerscape was professional, on time all the time and did an awesome service with the snow removal at my property. I definitely would like to utilize their services again in the future.
Bryan is great, very responsive and thorough, highly recommend!
I have used BadgetScape Design for three years now. They have planted trees and applied mulch. Their work has been excellent.
Two hardworking guys did a fine job of repairing our walkway and stone stairs. They provided suggestions and options for the work and did a great cleanup.
Bryan and the crew were very responsive and did an excellent job of spring yard clean up and seeding new grass. We really appreciated the hard work as we have a big yard and garden.
Bryan is professional, hardworking, and his prices are reasonable. He showed up on time and did a major project in 2 day! I highly recommend Badgerscape!!
We have used BadgetScape for three years now. Bryan and his team were great to work with.
Bryan/Badgerscape did a great job with the retaining walls, grading, and lawn installation at our new house last fall. Looking forward to working with them again this summer on phase 2 of the landscaping design!
Bryans thorough communication was a refreshing change of pace from past experiences! Bryan went out of his way with plant/tree suggestions and information. In addition the quote seemed very fair and a good value. We look forward to seeing our new landscape plan come to life and doing another project with Badgerscape in the future.
Great service
Badgerscape did a fantastic job putting in a sod lawn and doing the landscaping on our new house and everything looks beautiful. Bryan was responsive, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!
Employees from Badgerscape did a nice job grading part of my yard. Prompt and professional, would definitely use again.
Bryan and his team were absolutely fantastic, and I will definitely be coming back to them in the future. I had reached out to a few places prior to contacting Badgerscape, hoping to replace the retaining wall surrounding my back patio, which was very long (~60 ft) and falling down because it wasnt installed properly by the previous owner. However, every place would 1) schedule a call first, 2) eventually schedule a visit, 3) wait a while and then send me an estimate for an actually absurd amount, probably because they decided that they just didnt want to do it. The whole process would take weeks just to walk away. I really wish I had contacted Bryan first, because I had asked for a ballpark estimate just to see if it was worth both of our time, and he responded quickly with a number that seemed perfectly reasonable. (I had actually contacted multiple places for a ballpark estimate, but Bryan was the only one that was responsive) Bryan and one of his guys later came on site and checked it out, quickly gave me a proposal, which was around the ballpark estimate, and everything was good. We did need to push back a few months, which wasnt surprising just because its 2022, but he was able to squeeze the project in just recently, which was awesome; he gave me the option to push back into Spring as the first project on their list to allow the grass to grow back and all that, but I didnt mind either way and its nice to have it done. The project itself was much bigger than what I had in mind, and it looks SO MUCH BETTER than what I had hoped for. Bryan was great and asked for my input when there were multiple ways to do things (the steps, the corner, etc), but I fully trusted him throughout the process. He also informed me toward the very end that the top step had settled a little bit, which I probably wouldnt have noticed until Spring, but after the snow stopped, he came right back and fixed that up. Unrelated to the retaining wall, I have an elevated deck that had 4x4 posts that sit *in* the patio. I had asked if switching those out with 6x6 posts was an option that might be doable in the future, and he tackled that right away too - and for a great price! Seriously, Im 100% satisfied with this whole operation. The whole process was totally transparent, the end results look *beautiful*, and Im looking forward to the next projects in the future.
