Blue Iris Landscaping LLC

I had them do a small job for me a few years back. The plants they put in died and when I tried contacting them several times, they never called me back. I even wrote to them...no response.

I recently hired Blue Iris Landscaping to do a 'clean up' of my home as part of a house sale. The company was highly recommended by people who know landscaping services. Their quote for the job - over $2100 for one day's work (on an expedited basis) - was more than I expected, but I hired them because of their reputation.

I was very disappointed with the outcome. Based on multiple reports, the crew was unprofessional and non-cooperative. They refused to weed parts of the yard, spent much time smoking cigarettes on my deck and left a pile of cigarette butts behind. They were also careless and damaged plants. The entire front yard was untouched to avoid further plant damage. Others had to finalize the yard to make it presentable to potential buyers.

Given these problems, I believed a discount was justified. Taylor flatly refused.

My overall experience with Blue Iris was unpleasant. Anyone looking for reliable landscaping services at a reasonable price should look elsewhere.

We had a great experience using Blue Iris Landscaping. I was really at a loss as to what to do with our very outdated and overgrown front yard "landscaping," if you can call it that. BI worked with me to find out what my design aesthetic was, and what sort of effort I was willing to put into the new plants (which for me was very minimal), and put together a great design plan that was well thought-out and beautiful. You can tell that Taylor (the owner) is a very thoughtful and detail-oriented guy, taking into consideration things like having colorful flowers blossoming at different times during the year, using different shades and textures of green to add depth, and also using plants native to the area that will thrive in a WI climate. The BI team was very friendly and efficient. They were also pretty good about keeping you up to date on what the plan was for each day, but were also flexible when it came to making chages or additions (for instance, when I wanted to add some mulch and plastic edging to other areas in the yard). We will definitely be using again.

They are very reasonably priced, do a pretty good job communicating as the project progresses (this is important!) and can do a variety of landscaping jobs - retaining walls, plantings, recommendations, etc. They are honest and I trust them to follow through on what they say they will do. I would definitely use them again.
