Reviews of local pros in Mt Horeb, Wisconsin

We've been using Joe and his team's support to clear our driveway after snowstorms. They always do a nice job, and we appreciate not having to shovel our slippery inclined driveway

Lanscape Architecture did an excellent job designing and installing a walkway from my driveway to our backyard. Our guests no longer need to use the light from their phones to navigate a muddy, slanted path. Now we have a lit flagstone walkway that is easy to navigate.

We had a walkway put in along our side yard. This required some regrading, seeding part of the lawn, and programmable lighting. At one point the grading needed a little tweaking and they took care of it right away. It looks lovely, they were quick, and Joe was very responsive to our questions.

My wife and I are very happy with the process in updating and repairing our stone patio area. Joe is easy to work with and a straight shooter. He and his team also adjusted to unforeseen circumstances to our satisfaction.

Joe took our input and created a landscape design that is as beautiful as it is functional.
The crews were friendly and professional showed an attention to detail that was a pleasure to watch.

The final project exceeded all expectations and has created a whole new living space in our backyard. We would highly recommend using Landscape Architecture, LLC on your next landscape project.

I don't leave reviews, but this time I think one is needed for others to be informed. Joe and his team act professionally, but the services provided were subpar and the results have been poor. My front yard needed to be regraded, reseeded, and we had two prairie beds put in. Months passed between the time Joe said he would kill off the original yard and regrade. We had low mow grass put in. But because the previous grass and other material wasn't killed off properly, we're dealing with aggressive quack grass—the only option is to start over again.

I was trapped in my house 2 days during the 1st big storm of 2024. I saw their truck in my neighborhood so I asked to see if they could help me out. Zac had me call Joe, the crew arrived to clear me out less than 10 minute later! They were truly my Knight (s) in Shining Armor. In the aftermath of a snow storm like that, they went above and beyond to help me out. Rare in today's world, they are the best snow removal companies I have ever encountered. Thank You Joe and your amazing crew!!

Joe and his crew are exceptional. They answered all questions and were very open to our own design ideas. They were quick to rectify any issues with the build while and when they were done. They replace broken pavers, secured a loose step, and they are even replacing a failed landscaping light after five years! I can't recommend them enough!

I am an avid gardener and had a very clear vision for what I wanted for hardscape around a new screen porch that had not been built when we first met with Joe. He was very patient and allowed the ideas to develop and grow. Joe also designed a plan to solve water issues in our back yard. Given the constraints of space and existing fixed grades, we feel the solutions Joe presented are elegant and actually solve our problems.

Joe’s crew came and installed drains and hardscape, and regraded this summer. It looks fabulous and we couldn’t be more happy with the results. The crew was pleasant to work with and willing to hear my input and helped create my vision. We have had a lot of landscape work done over the years. Joe and his crew are the only people I’d have back.

Landscape Architecture created a design that brought safety, balance, and elegance to the front of our house. This included stone terracing and retaining walls, new grading, plantings and grass seed, new concrete steps and driveway—a considerable project. It now looks like it always should have—the highest compliment we can think of. It was a total pleasure to work with owner Joe Hanauer at every stage of the project. Meetings were productive. Joe listened to our requests and matched our aesthetic, responded quickly to all questions and any concerns, had great design ideas and creative solutions. The Landscape Architecture crew that carried out the work was top-notch. They worked hard and their range and level of skill was impressive. (Neighbors commented on this almost every day while the crew was at work!) I highly recommend Landscape Architecture. We are so glad they were referred to us.

We highly recommend Joe Hanauer and his firm, Landscape Architecture, for hardscape landscape projects. We had met with a half dozen other firms regarding replacement of a deteriorated, timber-lined hillside path to the lakefront. There were significant challenges due to slope, established trees, and limited site access. We also wanted the new path to be integrated and consistent with the existing landscape.
At our initial meeting with Joe, we were impressed by his enthusiasm, creativity, and attention to details. We worked with him for about six months to refine the design, address permitting issues and select materials. Joe was always responsive to requests, offered constructive recommendations and enhanced the project design. Beyond replacing the path, we added a patio and seating area.
The project took four weeks to complete in the fall of 2023. Joe’s crew was exemplary – they were talented craftsmen – expert hardscape installers who worked hard all day and were mindful of neighbors’ concerns – which were very few. The project was completed on time and on budget.
We are pleased to have worked with Joe and his Landscape Architecture team and with the completed project.

Dave was a lifesaver for us. When the main breaker on our house tripped and our garage took on a burnt smell, I called Dave and asked if he could help us. Within 5 minutes, he arrived and set about quickly diagnosing the issue (a wiring issue in the junction box leading to our EV charger that caused a dead short). He came back first thing the next morning and did amazing work re-wiring our charger, which has been fine ever since. I will definitely call Dave for any future electrical needs and advise you to do the same!

Dave is excellent! He's responsive and his prices are very reasonable.

Great electrician, and very thorough…and one heck of a good guy!👍

Dave, is an amazing electrician! He has been doing electrical for me on many remodeling projects, and he has been great!

Dave was fantastic to work with. He was prompt and very communicative. The pricing was very reasonable. I was given Dave’s name by another contractor and I’m so glad that I reached out to him. I will certainly use Dave again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking to have electrical work completed.

Dave has come out to help us with electrical work on a number of occasions at this point -- projects both large and small. Dave's a super good guy and clearly does very good work.

I can’t recommend Dave Gillen Electric highly enough! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. They were punctual, professional, and clearly very skilled at what they do. They explained everything clearly, worked efficiently, and left the space cleaner than they found it. You can tell they really care about doing the job right, not just fast. It’s rare to find someone this reliable and thorough—I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future electrical work

Dave is your goto electrician! He is reliable, honest and very knowledgeable. I had Dave do many electrical projects in my home with zero hidden cost or extras. I will be having Dave back for more work in my home. Highly recommend Dave Gillen Electric!

Trying to map out how we wanted to rewire switches and lights was like mapping out a conspiracy theory tack board with strings going every which way - to the point I could barely understand my own proposal. Our house had some very strange wiring decisions. Dave took the proposal and ran with it without question and executed wonderfully, despite the large scope, complexity, and challenge in making it all happen with an older build. He also noted the need for GFCI in the garage, which he was willing to scope in late. In addition, he did a great job installing our Fanimation ceiling fan, Panasonic bathroom fan, a new shower light, new bathroom outlets, and a new outdoor flood light. He executed with precision and care, leaving little to no mess.

Only callout is to make sure, if you have a similar project, to plan ahead for the specific switches/outlets/plates/etc. you want. We went with some stock options but will likely change them out later and didn't think about that in the moment.

100% recommend Dave, and will definitely call him for future jobs!

I’m a realtor and frequently refer Dave to my clients. I only refer people to clients when I know and trust them to work on my own house. He is always ready to help no matter how big or small the project. Dave does an excellent job of explaining what needs to be done and making sure it is done efficiently and with the skill only a seasoned electrician could possess. I’m so grateful for my business partnership with Dave and knowing he is ready to help at any moment. I wish there were more ⭐️s to give!!
