Testimonials
What surprised us most was how much more we love our home since Hanselman Landscape began working here! 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.
Our needs were to have as much privacy as possible from neighboring homes. 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.
Words do not serve well to express the sense of serenity and pleasure which your fine work evokes. I would liken the feeling to that of walking alone through a great museum.
I can’t even put into words how much I love my new yard. Hanselman Landscape did an outstanding job–changing an ugly piece of land into a serene and beautiful garden. The workmanship of Hanselman Landscape’s employees is of the highest quality.
Hanselman Landscape has helped us re-landscape our property over the past 3 years. James has a way of guiding you through your own garden, taking in the vantage points, and uncovering your vision (even though you didn’t know you had one)!
We liked the way James (Hanselman) explained and introduced the suggested plantings, actually showing us leaf samples. We needed and appreciated his guidance. Thanks for adding to our enjoyment of our home with your creative landscaping.

What is Hanselman’s design process when it comes to stonework and hardscaping?
When working on stonework and hardscaping projects, our design process is carried out in four phases:
– Explore: During this step of the process, we consult with our clients about their project ideas and goals. We work collaboratively with our clients to make their outdoor design dreams a reality while also keeping your budget in mind.
– Design: In the design phase, we provide a visual layout of your outdoor landscape. We keep in mind the different perspectives that you’ll view the hardscaping and stonework from while also working to create new views utilizing the design. We can also provide a 3-D visualization of your vision for greater project clarity.
– Build: Once the design has been approved by the client, they utilize our contracting services to materialize their ideas. Our workers are skillful and courteous so they will get the job done while also respecting your home and privacy.
– Enjoy: The Enjoy phase is when our clients finally get to utilize the end product, whether that be enjoying a sunny day out on your stone patio or sitting next to a fireplace on a crisp fall day.
