“What surprised us most was how much more we love our home since Hanselman Landscape began working here! The porch, patio, pool and garden together create a refreshing new feeling in what used to be a boring, flat backyard. In addition to the beautiful new backyard oasis they created, they are here regularly to care for our plants, turning existing shrubs that we thought were worthless into beautiful, valuable specimens.”

“Both Julian and I are very pleased with the work you have done and the timely completion of the job. I sit on the rock outside our bedroom many times now to meditate on the warmer mornings . . . very peaceful! The squirrels and birds have visited often to explore! I am working in my studio full time now, and love looking out at the lantern and nearby trees and bushes. . . . it’s so peaceful with the music I play while I’m working. It has been pure joy for us to work with you–such gentlemen you all are.”

“Our needs were to have as much privacy as possible from neighboring homes. The landscape, because of the size of the trees, does that now. We also had existing beds that could create problems for our foundation. When asked about this, all the men were very helpful with ideas for how to alleviate the problems. Everything was done to perfection. This was the first time in a while (even with building a new home) that we gave the job to someone and never, ever had to go over again and again what was to be done. It was a real pleasure to have your services.”

“We liked the way James (Hanselman) explained and introduced the suggested plantings, actually showing us leaf samples. We needed and appreciated his guidance on how we can nurture and maintain the plants in the future. Thanks for adding to our enjoyment of our home with your creative landscaping. We are definitely pleased to have had your expertise.”

“When we first started conceptualizing what the back yard would become, we didn’t know how we would manage to fit everything we wanted—a porch, a pool, space for entertaining, and privacy screening—into the space allowed by our township’s strict zoning laws. Imagine our surprise when James came back with a design that not only incorporated everything we wanted, but seemed to create more space than we thought possible!

“James is anxious to please, pays close attention to detail and is very careful to ensure that his work looks natural and not contrived. In fact, our garden oasis makes it seem as if we found a naturally beautiful spot where a waterfall formed a pool and then decided to build there! Plus, James is so enthusiastic about what he does! His careful consideration of our ideas and his ability to interpret them into such a work of art is what impressed us the most.”
