Landscaping reviews in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin

I've hired Elena's Landscaping a few times now, and will always call them first for my projects. Their prices are reasonable, and they kept me updated as to when jobs would start (and finish). They've always started and finished on time. They work hard and are always careful not to disturb anything unrelated to the project and always clean up the area well when they are done. They've done everything from cleaning up garden beds, installing various types of edging, built a small paver patio, and removed "monstrous" barberry bushes. I will not hesitate to contact them for my next project!

I contacted Elena's Landscaping and Elena and Felipe came out to quote my job promptly (not easy to get these days!). I had a fairly large retaining wall I needed built. Their price was fair and they were able to get the work started in a short turnaround and finished that work quite quickly. They even did some digging to tie in my drain from behind the wall, and did some leveling of the earth behind the wall, then seeded and placed hay over the seed for grass to grow back quickly (must be good seed it's growing well). The quality of their work is great, and they even came back out to touch up a few minor things. They stand by their work and I would 100% recommend their services.

Elena’s Landscaping was excellent to work with. I had an idea of what I wanted, but nothing drawn out on paper. I explained to Elena what I envisioned, she gave me a quote and a time they could start. They showed up on time. The entire crew was nice and friendly. The entire work area and surrounding area were left looking immaculate. They did everything I envisioned and then some. The completed project looks fantastic! We are very happy with the entire process, especially the final results. We had a 1/10th mile track (5ft wide) installed, grading, grass seeding, general yard clean up, weeds/shrubs/trees removal, and a huge outdoor workout station installed. We will definitely hire Elena’s Landscaping for our next project.

All of the positive things written about Elena's were also true in my case. They rough and final graded an acre of land, added topsoil, planted grass, and installed 100+ small evergreens. The final result is next to flawless. Felipe (the project manager) offered smart and excellent advice on planting the trees far enough away from the road to avoid salt damage and built berms. They also dug the gutters and added caps in the ground, as well as landscaped the septic with river stones and edging. Great job everyone, your work is much appreciated! Also, Ada has been really pleasant and easy to work with, fielding my and my wife's many questions. Fair pricing, fast work, outstanding results.

they cut down 3 of my Rose of Sharon plants and won't replace them or pay me. I have called 3 times. Each guy passes me off to someone else. Wont respond.
Very disappointed

We have worked with Villani Landshapers for years and they have always been helpful and friendly.

Excellent and amazing landscape service ! Crew was on time and did a great job! Also cleaned up well after job was completed highly recommend landshapers!

I have seen Gilbert working on the medians in my neighborhood in Menomonee Falls and he always does great work. He even stopped to help my sister and I carry a couch from our home one day. Gilbert is a great example of a hard worker who goes above and beyond!

We have used Villani on multiple occasions and they always do a fantastic job. Their team (Especially Ian) are great at communicating and prices are always reasonable.

Gino Villani, Lenny Khayat and their crews were great with assisting on commercial projects that include rooftop turf and paver walkways. They are professional, communicative, and provide high quality work.

I had gotten quotes for my landscape staircase need and wasn’t impressed with the quotes I had received. It was suggested I call Ian Thomas from Villani Landshapers and I couldn’t be happier. Their quote was much more inline with what I thought it should be. They will be doing my fire pit need when I get to it.

this year started off great then its like the landscapers just didnt come or came when ever. instead of pulling the weeds out of the grass areas they just mowed over them. we have weeds everywhere. one time they pulled up in front of the property waited 5 minute then drove way with out even mowing the grass for that week. and even today it took them a week and a half to come and cut the grass. I guess good help is hard to find.

Project was close to but less than 10k and found out the enrichment department/team did my job since it was not over 10k. Terrible, sloppy work. Says they guarantee their work but never came back in spring. Grass seed is mostly rye and weeds. Top soil is heavy clay and some plants unable to grow. Poor communication.

I enjoyed working with them! They did a great job with our project and I would use them again!

Julie was exceptional and addressed my concerns. She gave a few solutions and assured me that she’d confer with her team and call me with some options. Very pleasant and very much enjoyed her visit.

Bill and his crew were great! They were at my house for 5 days even during the heat working . My yard work was done just as I asked, they cleaned up great after and even came in and helped me move some.furniture I wasnt able to by myself. Always good and lawn looks great. Perfect service. Thank you bill and your crew.

Villani did a fantastic job installing our paver patio. The design and execution turned out amazing! Tyson nailed the look we wanted and Ishmil and team made that design come to life.
This was frosting on the cake as Villani also did all of our new construction landscaping.
We could not be more pleased and I highly recommend Villani for your landscaping and should you need a patio they do hard scrapes like no other.

These guys are the best at what they do. From hardscape to lawncare and maintenance they do a great job and stand behind there work. We've done several projects with them as well as annual maintenance contracts and have always been completely satisfied with the outcome. Our CSR (Jenn) makes working with Villani easy. She listens, is thorough, and catches all the little details.

We had Landshapers put in a patio using paving blocks. They were quite careful in keeping the surrounding vegetation safe, they laid a beautiful pattern of block and it looks great. We think they went above and beyond by
offering to replant some of the shrubs and giving us good advice on how to get the new grass seedings going. The most noticeable thing was their leaving the yard in a clean state. We would recommend them.

Buyer beware.
Villani's from Menomonee Falls, Wi "Passion for Detail" motto is not true. Their FB page also says they care for "pristine" properties; they've left ours full of weeds or no growth at all. They came to soil & seed several areas on our large property last fall with guarantee that they would return to reseed should the grass not grow. I emailed the project manager several times to finish a common area our community uses before we opened that area on Memorial weekend. They sent 5 college guys out that Saturday; they were unprepared & left the site within minutes. They did spread soil & hand tossed seed & dress it, but did not use any starter fertilizer. When asked if they were finishing another large area I was told would be done at the same time, they said it was the holiday weekend & they were only going to work a half day. One area is heavily shaded; asked if the seed they use is for shade - response was that they only use one type of seed. They didn't have enough materials to finish the job Saturday & returned a few hours Sunday & left a large area unfinished.

I met with the project manager on April 5th to get quotes on many projects across our community property. I emailed several times to get the status as I had wanted to share at our board meeting on May 16th - never got it. When it did finally come, it was incorrect & incomplete, so more waiting for a revision - which never came.

Meanwhile, there are still several areas across our property that have tall weeds & little grass growing. Sent several emails asking when they'd be out to do the reseed/repair.

Sent an email last week & copied our property manager asking when they'd be out to repair these areas & again, when I'd get a correct proposal. Project manager replied & said, "As soon as I have an exact date for the re-seeding that needs to be done, I will let you know."

"Passion for Detail" is not our experience. I agree with another reviewer: apathy, poor communication.

UPDATE 7/8/23
Our property manager contacted Villani to check the status of our lawn project STILL this much later! Ian, the customer service rep, said he's not familiar with this project & the project manager, Aaron, no longer works for them. Then Ian passes the buck along to someone else. Shouldn't you follow up with a manager's clients when an employee leaves?

Our 9 acre property has waited for grass all summer!

Buyer beware!

UPDATE 9/12/23
Shane met me at our property in July. His team has finally come to rectify an unanswered project from last fall. My experience with Shane has been a 180 compared to the previous project manager; prompt & clear communication & follow through. Every location on our property has had attention; redressed, seeded & covered.

It's too bad that one poor employee can leave such a negative impact. He left Shane & his team to redeem Villani's good reputation.

Thanks to Villani Landshapers I now have an unbelievable backyard patio and firepit. They were responsive in having a designer come to my home and plan my backyard, offering a wealth of knowledge and expertise. The construction crews were polite, prompt, and did an excellent job during the construction process. I couldn't be happier with the way my project was handled from start to finish.
