Ganshert Landscapes

I honestly don’t have enough good things to say about Sean, Matt, Ramone, and Rae. It all started with Sean—he took the time to truly understand what we wanted, asked all the right questions, and designed a patio that was even better than we’d imagined. He brought creative ideas we hadn’t considered and turned our vague wishes into a clear, beautiful plan we absolutely loved. Once work began, Matt, Ramone, and Rae brought Sean’s vision to life with flawless execution. The attention to detail was outstanding: perfectly level pavers, gorgeous built-in seating, a great fire-pit area, and lighting that makes the space feel magical after dark. They showed up when they said they would, protected our property, kept the site clean, and finished the entire project on a tight schedule. Sean is an exceptional designer and communicator, and Matt, Ramone, and Rae are true craftsmen who take real pride in their work. Together they’re an unbeatable team—and genuinely nice, fun people we actually miss having around. (They even raked our leaves and took them to the curb without being asked!) Our new patio has transformed how we use our outdoor space, and we couldn’t be happier. If you want a stress-free process and a stunning result, hire Sean and this crew—you won’t regret it!

We absolutely LOVE and highly recommend Ganshert! We have done 3 major projects with them in our backyard, all of which have turned out exceptional! The crew is also incredibly timely, non-intrusive, and clean - we never had any issues with them leaving supplies out or a mess. We will never even consider another landscaping/hardscaping company!

This was a massive overhaul project…a complete re-do of landscaping that went all the way around our house. The project included removing all existing landscaping, rock, and thistle overgrowth. Our front porch was redone with beautiful pavers, and we added lighting and extra tree plantings. In addition, the entire home had new stone borders laid. It turned out beautifully. Errin is top-notch. Such an attention to detail! And the crew was pleasant, professional, and extremely hard working. Can’t say enough good things about their work…my pictures don’t do it justice!

From the moment we met Sean, we knew we were in good hands. He was incredibly personable and immediately understood our vision for the landscape of our new home. The connection was instant, and his ability to design a layout that not only complemented our house but also transitioned beautifully through the seasons was absolutely mind-blowing. 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!
