Brad did a fantastic job of planting new grass in a large area surrounding our pole barn. He was punctual with his quote and getting the job done at a fair price. He stopped by to apply more seed to certain spots that got washed away. Pride in his work definitely! Highly recommended and we will use him again for future landscaping needs.

While the lawn was seeded a few weeks before first snow, it has germinated and we anticipate a nice lawn for years to come. He really worked with us on scheduling and payment and the job was done quickly. We highly recommend Lindstrom Landscaping.

Brad did an absolutely outstanding job restoring our horse paddock. He was detailed, thorough, and left nothing to chance when it came to the safety of our horses. His attention to detail gave me complete confidence that the job was done right. Not only was the work completed quickly, but his price was also considerably less than the other estimates we received—and frankly, I believe he did a far superior job. Brad is polite, professional, and very responsive to any questions or concerns. It’s rare to find someone who combines skill, efficiency, fair pricing, and genuine care for both the work and the client. I highly recommend Brad and will absolutely use his services again. Just an all-around great guy!

Brad is without a doubt the best of the best. He is super timely and does an amazing job. It is very clear he knows what he is doing and takes pride in what he does. Over the past couple weeks I would considering myself a high maintenance customer and he bent over backwards to help me out in a time of need. He dug out a 30x30 area for a playground set in the middle of my backyard and hauled the soil away…not an easy task with lots of variables. He also went and picked up all the mulch for me and delivered right to the back yard area. Start to finish very happy with Brad! I will not hesitate to reach out to him for future landscaping needs.

Tai, I am glad we could get it done for you and your family to enjoy! thanks for the work!

Brad posted an ad for brush/buckthorn removal that we needed done. He responded immediately, and we came up with a date that worked. He was excellent with letting me know when he would arrive, and started the job. There was an unexpected mechanical issue and he wasn’t able to finish, but he had the repair done and came back the next morning to finish the job (which turned out great and is a HUGE improvement!) he is friendly, cleaned up the debris from the job and spent time going over a potential new project we’re thinking about. Highly recommend Lindstrom Landscaping & Design!
