Loomis Landscaping
“I was referred to Mike in 2021 after getting a quote from another well-known landscaping company. I was in the process of building a new home, which was completed in 2022, so Mike worked closely with my home builder throughout the project. The coordination between everyone involved made the entire process much smoother.
The first thing that stood out to me was Mike’s communication. He was always responsive whenever I had questions, which, in my experience, is surprisingly difficult to find in the landscaping industry. Great communication alone set him apart.
Another feature I really appreciated was his design process. Rather than handing me a simple paper drawing, Mike brought his computer and created 3D renderings of the project. We were able to make changes in real time until we arrived at the final design. Seeing everything in 3D made it much easier to visualize the finished product and gave me confidence before any work even began.
This was a large, comprehensive project. Mike handled the final grading, nearly all of the concrete work (including the driveway), landscaping, seeding my lawn, installing an invisible dog fence , flower beds and planting of said bushes/flowers , edging, irrigation for both the lawn and planting beds, and all of the hardscape. This also included a built-in grill, an outdoor gas fireplace, a recessed natural gas fire pit, and the paver installation. With an investment of this size, my biggest concern was finding someone whose work would hold up over time with minimal issues.
The reason I waited until now to write this review is because I wanted to evaluate the work after several years of Wisconsin’s changing seasons. The photos I’m sharing are from 2026, and I’m happy to say everything has held up exceptionally well.
Of course, every project has a few minor issues over time. A couple of trees died, which Mike promptly replaced under warranty. Some landscape lighting fixtures developed a finish issue, and he’s replacing those under warranty as well. I’ve also had a few small irrigation adjustments over the years, and every time I’ve reached out, Mike has responded quickly and taken care of the issue. That level of follow-through is something I truly appreciate because it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find.
As someone who is pretty detail-oriented (and admittedly a bit Type A), I was looking for someone with excellent communication, modern planning and design capabilities, attention to detail, and, most importantly, someone who stands behind their work. Mike has delivered on every one of those qualities.
On top of that, his pricing was significantly more reasonable than the other quotes I received for a project of this scope.
I’ve referred Mike to numerous friends and family members over the years, and every one of them has been extremely happy with the results. In fact, my friend originally referred Mike to me, and between all of us, we have yet to hear of anyone being disappointed. That consistency over many years—and through Wisconsin’s harsh seasonal changes—speaks for itself.
If you’re looking for a landscaper who delivers quality craftsmanship, communicates well, stands behind his work, and creates projects that last, I would highly recommend Mike. For me, those qualities matter far more than a beautiful project on day one—they’re what matter years later.”
