“Thanks so much!”
Our experience was great. Everything was done in a timely fashion. We will be calling again for our other landscaping needs. Thanks so much!

“Excellent job!”
Excellent job! We are very happy with the way it turned out. Even though changes were made by us to the selection of plants, the job was completed on the original schedule.
-Mr. & Mrs. Faleskin
“...we love our new patio.”
Logan was awesome to work with. He had great ideas for our patio and we love our new patio. Logan's team was prompt, very hard working, and did a great job for us!

“Logan and all the workers were great to work with; a beautiful job done! -Mr. and Mrs. Owen”
“Thank you for everything!”
We received excellent service and quality workmanship in a timely manner from your polite, courteous, and hardworking staff, and greatly improved the appearance of our property. Thank you for everything! The supervisor Logan and his crew, were completely professional at all times and excellent representatives of LCbW.
-Mr. & Mrs. Pederson
“...many compliments on the patio already.”
I appreciated Logan's advise of the color choice of the border pavers. I am also very pleased with the results, and have had many compliments on the patio already.
“You turned a backyard eyesore into, for me, a masterpiece.”
I just want to tell you what a great job you (Danielle Buesch, LCbW Landscape Designer) and LawnCare by Walter did for me. You turned a backyard eyesore into, for me, a masterpiece. Since adding a sunroom onto my house, the backyard was an excavation nightmare. With you and your landscaping crew's professionalism, you changed that for me to enjoy.
Thank you,
Mr. Zoeller
“Your workers are high caliber and congenial.”
Your workers are high caliber and congenial. It was a joy to watch them complete a project. A “tree doctor” from Byron was here while they were working. The gentleman made the comment that it was a joy to see high, quality work and a pride in craftsmanship.
“...together they made a great team which led to a great experience throughout the job.”
Danielle & Tim were an absolute joy to work with. Manny & the crews were also great to work with. All together they made a great team which led to a great experience throughout the job.
“I have been very, very satisfied with my new bird sanctuary!”
My late wife Judith Anne was very happy and satisfied with her phase 1 and 2 flower beds. I have been very, very satisfied with my new bird sanctuary! (phase 3) Danielle is both artistic, talented AND listens to the customers like Mark!

“Thank you for a great experience and for my beautiful yard.”
Hi. I just wanted to let you know that Danielle is a credit to your company. She developed a very creative landscape design for me that fit my budget and exceeded my expectations. I was impressed with how she custom tailored plants to my unique needs and even did research to find out what the best choice would be for one tricky area of my yard. Plus, she was patient with all my questions. I was in business management for many years before changing careers and always like to let people know when their employees do a great job. So often management only hears complaints instead of the good things their staff does.
I also watched Danielle manage with the team she supervised and it was really cool how she interacted with the other staff. The whole crew did a great job, but Danielle led the crew and it was clear that she and the crew have a really good working relationship and they respect her and function well as a team. One example was how they used the sod they cut to put in a bed to fill in an area where one was removed. I told Danielle how happy I was about this clever use of sod they took out to fill in another area and she gave credit to the crew member that thought of the idea. That impressed me also- how she shared credit with her peers for the wonderful job they did. Danielle also made sure the yard was thoroughly cleaned up after all the work that was done and gave me detailed watering instructions. Danielle has a great approach to selling her design- she acted like a consultant and had just the right amount of encouragement without coming on too strong to have me sign the contract. She is very creative and also has good sales and people skills. I think Danielle is awesome and can see why your company is so successful with great staff like her. I will recommend your business to anyone and everyone that needs services that you provide.
By the way- I was telling some friends about my new yard design- and they asked who was doing it and I said LawnCare by Walter. They knew of your company and gave me an approving nod and said, "they are really good." So, apparently, you have a good reputation in the community- no wonder with great employees like Danielle and her crew. Thank you for a great experience and for my beautiful new yard.

“The yard looks wonderful!”
The yard looks wonderful! The men did a wonderful job cleaning, edging, and mulch. We love the personnel from Walter's. Everyone who has come on site for any reason and your phone people are always cheerful and helpful. It puts a greate "face" on your company!
“You took a real mess and made it into a work of art.”
Mr. Walter,
We, my wife Judi, and I would like to say thank you for a job well done with our yard. You took a real mess and made it into a work of art. Of course Jessie had a lot to do with it. She talked with us and made the landscape drawing for us to look at. She explained a lot to us and made us understand why she chose the plants and flowers she did. She is a great asset to your landscape company. And we would like to also thank the three men who did all the hard work in the yard, in the sun and hot heat. Yes you and Jessie were also there beside them, also working. It is very unusual to see the boss out working with his men/women. And we give you credit for doing that.
If you would like to use us as "happy customers" then we give our permission to do so. We would be happy to speak to any new customers on your behalf. Again we want to say, thank you for a job well done and money well spent. In fact my husband told me when I got home today from an appointment, that the Mayor of Loves Park was on a drive around with one of the public works men in a city truck. They stopped and looked at the work you and your men had done. My husband told the Mayor, who was doing the work for us.
Sincerely yours,
Judi and Early Bauby

“From planning to implementation to follow up, working with LawnCare by Walter has been an excellent experience.”
Dear Mark, Debbie & Jessie,
Working with LawnCare by Walter has been such a positive experience.
To begin, Jessie provided us with a thorough quote that included a computer generated straight-on design perspective vs. an aerial view that really doesn't give you any idea how the finished landscape will look. Second Jessie designed with our taste in mind. I could tell she listened to what we said we liked and didn't like. And finally, the landscape was designed to be beautiful and functional immediately, but also to accommodate for plant growth, and continue to look beautiful years from now. I felt many of your competitors were designing for ""right now"" and really overdid the plant materials which would likely look overgrown in just a couple years.
There is one more thing, and it's probably the most important. Budget. I felt that Jessie was sensitive to staying within our budget, but still delivering the finished result we were looking for.
From planning to implementation to follow up, working with LawnCare by Walter has been an excellent experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to family, friends and neighbors. In fact I have!
Thank you again to you and your entire hardworking staff.
