Brodeur Landscapes

We really enjoyed working with Nicole and her team to do a turf conversion of our front yard to native plants. She was very patient and gave us the time we needed to figure out what we wanted for our yard. She also was very responsive to our questions, and provided the information we needed to make our decisions - that was a huge help to us! She was great about letting us know what to expect for the different steps of the yard renovation project, and kept in communication with us throughout the process. She is knowledgeable about the City's Turf Conversion rebate program, which was another plus - her expertise allowed us to go through the rebate process much more easily. We highly recommend Nicole!

Nicole and her team really listened to me. They took out my jungle of a yard, saved the trees and the plants that mattered to me, helped me with low-water native plants that compliment the plants I have so with a couple of years' growth it will have the cottage garden-feel with manageable plants that won't be devastated by drought. I hoped I could get a small deck in the yard, under a tree, where I could put a swing that wasn't usable in it's current location, so I could sit, read, and enjoy my garden—but the space it would go was small and awkward with the tree. They made it fit perfectly under the tree. It looks exactly the way I imagined it and better than I could have hoped in reality. It's perfect! The crew saw I walk with a cane and added a step to the deck, which I'm grateful for. I'd asked them to help route some of the water from the drains, that come from the roof, down the side yard and add some drainage down to the street, because they were aimed at my neighbor's driveway. I mentioned in the course of the conversation that we have a sump pump because our basement floods in the winter (same as everyone in our neighborhood). This winter, not only was my neighbor able to get to her car without fording a river, but the water over-flow from all over the yard moved to a central area that then flowed out to the street. At some point last month I realized, our sump pump didn't run once this winter. I went down to take a look, and the basement was completely dry. When, in the middle of the last heavy storm, I took my husband down to the basement to show him it was dry, he said he would have paid what we paid for landscaping for the peace of mind of that alone (one time the pump died while we were out of town, flooded the basement, ruined the water heater, and fried the electronics on our heater). There were a lot of little extra things they did, suggestions they made as they went along, all things that I didn't expect but good ideas that I agreed to—that showed that they cared about their job, They were also flexible about small changes I made along the way. All that and they still came in within their estimate. At first their price felt like it was on the high side, but it was worth every penny. I couldn't be happier with their work and my yard.

Love my new landscaping! I'm fortunate to have found "The Dream Team." Nicole, Grace, Trevor and the rest of the team were so easy to work with; they were good listeners, knowledgeable, experienced, and competent, and thus minimized my anxiety and fears. Grace is a master designer. She really listened to my wishes, desires, vision, and provided me with myriad of good advice and options. A great experience! I hope to utilize their services again soon.
