Why Homeowners Trust Ganshert Landscapes
Sean and his team were fantastic communicators AND excelled at attention to detail. A rare combination to find! As a professional horticulturist, I recommend them with complete confidence. The small details, that could have easily been skipped to expedite the process, were not. They shared ideas, mid-process, that enhanced the project. We will definitely hire Ganshert for future projects! Thank you.
Now, if only the rest of our home-building process had been as smooth… (At this point, we’ve been waiting so long, we were tempted to start charging admission for a “Tour of the Perpetually Unfinished House.”) But amidst the chaos, Ganshert Landscapes was a beacon of efficiency. While we dealt with endless delays, and enough rescheduled deadlines to make our heads spin, Sean and his team were the first ones to finish—and not just finish, but absolutely nail it. Our house was still a construction zone, but thanks to them, at least the outside looked like someone actually lived here!
From Sean’s brilliant design to Craig, Hipolito, Lucas, Mike, and Javier bringing it to life with the plantings, and Brian and David meticulously crafting the hardscapes in our courtyard (which, by the way, was like assembling the world’s hardest puzzle—except the pieces were 100-pound stones), this team is the definition of professional, talented, and hardworking. They create outdoor spaces so stunning that we briefly considered pitching a tent outside just to enjoy it while waiting for the house to be done.
When we envisioned our landscape, we wanted it to reflect our heritage, and Sean and his team made that vision a reality. For example, I desperately wanted a Bugambilia tree, just like the ones I grew up with in Mexico. The moment I mentioned it, Sean whipped out his zones chart like a plant scientist, shook his head, and immediately broke the news that it wouldn’t survive Wisconsin’s winters. (Apparently, nature doesn’t care about my nostalgia.) But instead of leaving me heartbroken, he found me the Wisconsin version of it—a tree with flowers the exact same color. That level of thoughtfulness is just one of the many reasons Ganshert is in a league of its own.
One of the most meaningful parts of this journey was when I lost my dad during construction—Sean thoughtfully selected the perfect tree to hold his ashes and honor his memory. That level of care goes beyond landscaping; it’s creating something truly special.
And their talents don’t stop with landscaping! Ganshert also removes snow in the winter (because while we love our beautiful yard, we do not love shoveling it). And if, like us, you happen to accidentally acquire an apple orchard with your house, Maddie will be there to prune the trees like a pro while you wait for your dream home to finally be move-in ready. (Seriously, who knew tree pruning was a service we needed?!)
Honestly, we’re considering installing a plaque with the Ganshert logo on our pavers so when people ask, “Who did your landscaping?” we can just point to it and save ourselves the explanation. If you’re looking for a team that brings expertise, dedication, and a personal touch to their work, Ganshert Landscapes is the one to call. I can’t wait to keep working with them for years to come!
