We’ve used Kittleson Landscape on three projects and they really outdid themselves this time! Navigating a tight timeline, dodging weather, delivering right on budget, all while helping us come up with creative ideas we didn’t see at first. Kirk is absolutely incredible to work with and strongly recommend reaching out to the firm!!

We highly recommend Kittleson Landscape. What a night and day experience from the previous company we dealt with. After getting 4 bids to fix the horrible job the previous company did, Kittleson stood out. It also helped my neighbor used them to do a retaining wall. We saw them using lasers to measure and make sure everything was square and level, not what previous dude did. We loved the little extras touches they did with the big rocks to help where rain water can erode the landscape and level out areas. We are very happy with their final outcome. They were very fair in their pricing and their crew was professional and courteous. Thank you to Ryan and his crew!

Kittleson Landscaping is second to none! We recently built a new home and wanted a beautiful looking yard that would be low maintenance and still be appealing. Craig designed the perfect plan for us. We couldn’t be happier with the results. The crew was very professional, very hard working, and they cleaned up every day before they left. They even blew the dust off our vehicles.
Craig managed more than his crew, he worked with our builder, concrete crew, and irrigation crew and everything was done smoothly. Thank you to your great team. We highly recommend Kittleson Landscaping.

Kittleson Landscape crew are fantastic! We had a one-day project and Kirk was very responsive beforehand and transparent about cost. The crew came out and were so friendly, respectful to our property and neighbors (and our dog!!), and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves (leaf blowing, sweeping, etc.) We are so happy with the outcome and it really feels like they went above and beyond. We’ll be using them for all future landscaping needs!

We highly recommend Kittleson Landscaping! They completely transformed our yard from an overgrown mess into a beautiful sanctuary. The entire project was much bigger and involved than we could have ever imagined. We had a large lot with many unforeseen challenges, including weather and they met those challenges with amazing results. They were always happy to answer our questions and kept us informed throughout the process.

Kirk’s crew was fantastic, professional, friendly, and took immense pride in their work.

Kittleson isn’t just another landscaping company; they’re a team passionate about creating beautiful outdoor spaces. We have recommended Kittleson to family and friends and will continue to do so.

They recently completed our daughter’s landscaping at her new house. They made the entire experience enjoyable, and she is thrilled with the results. Her lot was small and as you cans see they built a beautiful retaining wall, outdoor patio, firepit and pergola with porch swings making a great outdoor living/entertaining space.

We couldn’t have been more impressed with this amazing and professional team and would hire them again without hesitation!

Top Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

What are important things to consider when hiring a landscape contractor?

The first step to hiring a landscape contractor is through referrals from friends. There are many landscapers in Madison to choose from. They will share with you what it was like to work with their chosen contractor, and you can see the result of the contractor’s work. It is also helpful to choose a company that works with a landscape architect to provide custom designs that not only are stable and secure but also care for the natural environment.

When a company is working on the property of your home or business, it is essential to know they are licensed and insured. Not only do you trust them with the safety of your home or business, you can be held liable for any injury incurred by the company if they are not properly insured. Ask your potential subcontractor for proof of insurance and licensing information, as well as for references before they being work on your landscaping project.

What if I would like to do my project in phases? Can I do that?

The most cost effective way to do a landscaping project is to do it all at one time. This eliminates the cost of multiple trips to a job site, which increases the cost of a project. Although it is more cost effective to do an entire project at one time, it can be cost prohibitive for some clients. Our team can evaluate your entire project and recommend the best way to work through your project in phases.

I’m concerned about the environment and water conservation. What experience do you have with landscaping to conserve water?

Our landscape builders have vast experience in water conservation and runoff reduction. Proper grading of property helps to reduce water runoff.

The addition of a rain garden to a landscape also helps with water conservation. A rain garden is a natural or dug shallow depression designed to capture and soak up storm water runoff from your roof or other impervious areas around your home, such as driveways and walkways. A rain garden allows the runoff generated on your property to infiltrate into the ground and helps to reduce potential water quality problems. While your individual rain garden may seem like a small contribution, collectively, rain gardens can produce water quality benefits.

In addition to using landscape water features for water conservation, rainwater harvesting water storage is becoming a popular option for homeowners. Rainwater harvesting is a method of capturing rainwater for storage in underground tanks to be available for later use for watering plants, in ponds or for other outdoor water use. Visit our water conservation page for more detailed information about these features.

How much does it cost to do a landscape project?

The cost of a landscape project can vary widely based on the scope of the project, condition of the site, and many other factors. Different landscapers in Madison and landscape architects in Madison can vary in price. Projects can range from $2,000 to $15,000 and greater. We are happy to meet with you at your project site to discuss your visions and answer any questions about your custom landscaping project.
