BRETT LANDSCAPING, INC.

 

We were fortunate to contract the right person to update our backyard.  We researched landscape companies, interviewed three, and knew that Dan Brett was the right person.  His experience, knowledge, integrity, and passion for what he does deservedly put him in front of the others.

We had a big job - rip out an old pool, all the landscaping around it, remove a big tree,  excavate a large old stump, and re-grade the back yard. His team brought in big rocks and boulders, flagstones, many truckloads of dirt, new trees, a fire pit, a water feature, and an area for a vegetable garden - a lot!

Dan communicated regularly with us - and still does even in the winter to follow up!  He coordinated with a sprinkler company so the timing would work correctly with the overall project.  He returned back to our home in the late fall to teach us how to properly winterize our water feature - which we were very grateful for.

His hard working team was courteous and conscientious.   At the end of each very hot day they cleaned up everything before they left - even in the street where smaller rocks, dirt, and mulch was..   They ensured the path to our backyard did not encroach upon our neighbor’s property, and did their best to minimize the the evidence of the path.  There was a lot of heavy equipment involved, and that path is now barely noticeable.  

Anyone who hires Dan will get the best.  We let him make a lot of decisions for us, he is the expert, so we often deferred to his good judgment.  And the results are magnificent.  There’s a reason he has been in this business for so long.   If anyone ever wants to come to view our backyard, we would be happy to show it off. 

We will send pictures this spring and summer of our backyard retreat - we could not be more pleased!

"Dan Brett is trustworthy and skilled with an artistic  eye.  He  works tirelessly to your satisfaction."

"Brett Landscaping and Design has completed several projects for my home in Clarkston.  The first (2010) was an extensive front yard makeover with plantings, decorative lighting, pillars, and stonework.   The outcome was fabulous.   Dan Brett did another project (2012) in the rear yard with a stone patio, a pergola, and landscaping.  Again, another fantastic job.   I found Dan and his crew to be professional and hardworking.    Everything was explained and all questions answered.  I would recommend Brett Landscaping without reservation."

"Dan Brett is the most meticulous worker I've ever met.  He takes the time needed to plan and complete the landscaping so that it will be beautiful, enjoyable, and ... most importantly ... enhance the value of your property.  He works WITH you to make sure that what you ask for is really going to be what pleases you and fits your property.  We couldn't be more pleased with his work and he has become someone we consider a friend as well.  You won't go wrong with Dan."

"Even after 13 years since you did our amazing landscaping, I am still impressed with the quality of workmanship.  The patio paving is still in the same condition it was the day you completed it - not one brick is out of place.  The boulder retaining wall and steps leading up to the deck are as they were placed all that time ago.  It was an absolute pleasure working with you, as you are one of the nicest and easiest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with."

"A contractor that has vision, is cost-conscious, shows up on time, communicates well, works hard, works neatly, and has comprehensive follow-up: I think we found the unicorn of landscapers. We completely trusted Dan and his team to do what he thought was best and within our budget. The results are beautiful, and his work speaks for itself: the neighbors keep hiring him. We will definitely call Dan again if we have another project, and we will gladly refer him to others."

"Dan and his crew have done a great job of enhancing our home and outdoor living spaces.  Dan is creative and helpful in turning vague concepts into just exactly what you wanted!  

The porch, sidewalk, and retaining wall he designed and installed for us several years ago look just as good today as they did when he finished the project, and we’re looking forward to many years of enjoyment from the new bi-level patio and fire pit that he just completed.

Thanks, Dan!"

"Thank you, Dan. We love our porch and walkway. From your initial plan through all the changes to the finished project, it was truly a joy to work with you. We have had so many compliments from our neighbors. You were so neat and organized during the construction and showed utmost respect for our property and schedules.  You are very talented, knowledgable, considerate and honest. We appreciate the opportunity to have worked with you."

"Dan and his crew created a wonderful outdoor sitting area while fixing a problem we had every winter, drainage.  Dan listens to you and what you are looking for and then creates a masterpiece.  I watched him take out huge rocks more than once because it just wasn't right!  When we were almost done, I saw an idea on HGTV with a boulder, small pond and water coming out of the top.  The boulder happen to be on the property already.  Dan pushed it into place and created what is now a focal and conversation piece when we entertain.  Thanks to Dan and his crew, we now have a beautiful place to sit every day.  Our local frogs love it also!"

Stan & Sherry Hertel                                    Hadley

"Per our neighbors' referral, we called Dan Brett for a landscaping quote.  Upon our first meeting, we knew Dan was the person we wanted to do our landscaping projects.  His extensive knowledge of planting materials and design ideas for our patio and walkway far exceeded our expectations.  We have never met someone as dedicated to his craft as Dan Brett.  He takes all the time necessary to perfect his work.  We are so pleased with the results, that we have already hired Dan for more projects.  It has been such a pleasure working with him and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship."

"Dan - just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much I love the landscaping!!  You and your team did a really great job - can't thank you enough for getting me out of my comfort zone and doing something different.  Everything was cleaned up nicely - there was nothing left for me to do but enjoy it.    I've had lots of compliments from the neighbors - and my family loved it."

"We can not express enough what a fabulous job Dan and his crew did when they created our pond and two waterfalls.  The lights at night are on year round and give such a sense of beauty.  It was a treat to come home from work and see how much progress happened each day.  Our spring perennials Dan suggested, surround the back side and are beautiful for the entire month of May.   What once was an eye sore is now a place where friends and family come to have pictures taken!"
