Imagine the perfect summer day. The warmth of the summer sun on your face, the smell of lavender and roses perfume the air, the hushed sound of a gentle breeze winding through the trees overhead, and the unmatched beauty and serenity of watching a brilliant sunset give way to the evening twilight as the crickets begin their choral symphony.

I don't like to write these but I can't think of any other way than to get the word out there. I don't actually use Buhrman, my neighbor does. I've spoken to my neighbors about this, but they are elderly and haven't taken any hints. I don't want to spoil our relationship. I'm guessing they don't read reviews, so here goes:
Buhrman is "punctual", with machines roaring at 6:45AM Thursday, rain or shine. Every Thursday.
Access: They park in front my yard. Many times with multiple trucks with trailers. The streets are plenty wide, but care must be taken when driving down the street (true of any lawn

Excellent work by Marion and his crew on our yard in Pleasant Prairie. He was a real pleasure to work with and the crew worked hard (in less than ideal weather) to get our landscaping in place. We’d use Buhrman Group and Marion for any landscaping project in the future in a heartbeat.

We can’t recommend Buhrman Design Group and Matt Schaefer more. We had fantastic service at a reasonable price. This company is very professional and was responsive to our need immediately. This is a great group to work with! Thank you Buhrman Design Group!!

I have used a number of different landscape companies over the years that were good, however when I switched to Buhrman Design Group, I experience an outstanding level of landscaping service. Their crews have done an exceptional job with maintaining my yard, planting, shrubs and trees. They are always on time and their work is very thorough. If you want great landscaping service, use Buhrman.

We had our paver patio installed last summer. We could not be happier! Every time we sit outside on our patio we feel we are on vacation. Marion worked with us to create a backyard haven. The crew was on time and cleaned up the worksite every day so you would never know they had been there. Thank you so much. I would not hesitate to work with Marion and Buhrman again in the future.

Be careful with this one if you are an educated gardener and proud of your planting beds. Watch them like a hawk if you employ their maintenance crew. While this company is generally good at very basic maintenance (why I've given them one star) - they're iffy on plants and customer service, in my experience. First, they butchered two of my mock orange shrubs without consulting me. They told me later that the shrubs were pruned of spent material - regardless, they should have talked with me first. This was at a point in the season that was too early for that type of hatchet job. Then, the crew ripped

Buhrman Design Group did an excellent job in both designing and implementing a large project for our HOA. Our project consisted of creating and implementing a landscape design to supplement plantings on an existing sparsely planted 600’ berm. Marion Gorski‘s creativity and vision for the berm was exceptional. He patiently listened to what we wanted while taking into account the berm’s specific needs. He created a 3 phase plan that integrated conifers, deciduous trees, mid size bushes and a variety of perennials in a beautifully balanced plan. We would definitely use them for any of our future

We used Buhrman to completely redo our backyard. From the beginning Marion was very professional and responsive. He came up with a beautiful design and shared in a story book format which was so helpful in visualizing what the yard would look like. Rod was also great to work with. He was on the job regularly making sure everything was running smoothly and was there to answer all our questions. He addressed any concerns in a very timely manner. While there were some delays in the project that were beyond Buhrman's control, they made sure to finish as soon as the obstacles were cleared. We could

A thoughtful landscape design is a piece of living art that can transform a home. While building our new house, we started working with Marion at Buhrman Design Group early on in the process and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We had some specific ideas in mind and Marion took our vision and enhanced it to create a beautiful design that stayed within our budget. In addition to a detailed plan, BDG provided a 3D video rendering of our fully landscaped home so we could see exactly what it would look like. The BDG crew did an excellent job with the installation and we have received many

This summer we worked with BDG to convert our back deck into an outdoor kitchen space, and we were impressed with them from the start! Lance and Marion were great to work with and had clever ideas for what to do with our tight chicago footprint. The 3D rendering proposal was really impressive and the final product looks identical to it. Their workers were super professional – at the end of each day, all equipment was stacked and organized neatly, and they even hosed off dust before they left for the night. We used outside vendors and products (lighting, grills, accessories) and the team had no
