We had a very large, six-week project to replace an 8ft high retaining wall that was crumbling and ugly to look at. We came by Holm and Olson at the Home and Garden Show at the convention Center. Jack followed up with us a few weeks later and from a group of 3 - 4 companies, we chose Holm and Olson. Very happy with the final results! We couldn't envision the beautiful new backyard we got with Jack as our designer and project manager.
The split wall added openness to our patio and backyard and the landscaping added many beautiful and colorful bushes and blooming plants. The crew was fantastic. They worked hard and cleaned up at the end of each day. I would definitely recommend Holm and Olson. J & K Allen

In our particular project, Jack designed a nice multi colored brick with grout design on the backside of our house and it was done with a quality craftsmanship. Laborers were polite and professional. Supervisor stopped by and made sure clean up was done with care. I highly recommend Holm & Olson for any landscaping needs.

After getting (and trying to get) quotes from many landscaping companies, Holm & Olson offered a truly reasonable price. They completed the work and helped out when it seemed like other companies were trying to take advantage of ones misfortune. I will definitely hire them again for future landscaping projects.

I've heard nothing but marvelous things about Holm and Olson and have always been incredibly impressed by what I've seen of their work. Unfortunately, my experience with them was far from positive! After talking with them about a water and fire feature at the Minneapolis Home and Garden Show, I arranged for them to come to our home to create a design and to provide me with a bid. I had one visit from a designer, three months ago and was left with a hand drawn, rough sketch produced on a piece of used graph paper.
Since then.nothing. I've left them numerous voice mails and sent emails and still they have not responded. We were very much looking forward to the enjoyment this feature would add to our yard this summer, but apparently our small scale landscaping plan wasn't worth their time. Needless to say.we're more than a little disappointed.
