Sparrow Landscaping LLC

Working with Jen and her team at Sparrow has been a total pleasure! We recently built a new home and found the landscaping process with our builder and a local, larger landscaping company to be very frustrating. When it became apparent that there was not going to be any comprehensive plan or proactive action on our new, large yard, we knew we needed a different type of landscaper to get involved. We called Jen and from the first phone call through the planning process and entire installation of our lawn and beds, we couldn't be happier! As soon as she got involved, we could relax because we knew someone knowledgeable and capable was now leading the project! Stage 1 of our yard was completed last fall and in the coming spring, Jen will be helping us install a prairie. We very much look forward to working with her again and highly recommend her with no hesitation! I wish all services ran as well as Jen's does!!

I hired Jen Baker with Sparrow Landscaping to install plantings and mulch on the most high profile job I have ever completed. It was located at the Governors residence in Madison. Jen and her crew arrived onsite on the scheduled day with all the correct material. They were very efficient and completed the job in less time than expected. The finished product was beautiful. I have received many compliments on her performance and quality of work from the engineers, residence staff, and other people from the state. I would highly recommend using Jen Baker with Sparrow Landscaping on any projects you have, you won't be disappointed.

I always provide feedback to Professionals when i work with them. I first take in their personality and spirit and then i move on to how they accept the ideas and plans i have for them to complete the project at hand. I have only had Sparrow Landscaping complete one project which was to complete 4 water gardens to thrive and remove pooling water in the 4 areas which occurs during rainy Summers/Springs as well as snow melt. I had the privilege to work with Jennifer Baker who shows great compassion in her work which included a great work ethic. She was very friendly and enjoyed talking to me from the beginning of the project to months after it was completed, to ask how the gardens were doing and also requesting photos for her to see. If you are looking for a project to be completed that Jennifer and her company are enthusiastically wanting to be considered....it would be to your benefit to give her a call. I will next time...

From the start of our development project 2 years ago, Jen Baker has been very professional, responsive to our needs and a strong resource for us as we established design criteria followed by complete installation of a series of prairie meadows and retention pond landscaping in our project. We subsequently have hired her for “invasive species reviews” required by the Town. In this role, she has initiated the periodic reviews and followed up effectively in every aspect of the responsibility. She is an important part of our development team and receives my high recommendation.

Our experience with Jennifer has been exceptional. Our project involves landscaping a new home site, returning most areas to natural prairie along with putting a detailed finish on areas near and around the house. Jennifer is very knowledgeable about every aspect of the process including planning, soil quality, details for erosion prevention and planting from start to finish. She is exactly what we needed, as we are novices at this. She has a positive, can-do, professional approach sprinkled with a great sense of humor. We are very impressed with her prompt communication and follow through. Cost for each step of the process has been fair and clearly explained. We plan to continue working with Jen into the future. We give her our highest recommendation without any reservation.

Jennifer at Sparrow Landscaping was a pleasure to work with. The quality of her work is hands-down the best! She is profession, prompt, courteous and affordable. Her creativity and experience made the project even better than expected.

We hired Jennifer Baker, Sparrow Landscaping, to plant approximately 100-acres of native wetlands in the Tomah, WI area. Jennifer was responsible for seed/shrub/tree procurement, plant layout/installation and plant monitoring. Because our project was approved late in the year, procurement of our required plants was a challenge due to local shortages. Jennifer went out of her way to call mid-west wide to get our required seed mixtures and personally went to the suppliers to physically pickup the seed to accelerate our schedule. To say the on-site conditions were brutal for wetland planting is an understatement; Jennifer and her team had to battle super saturated soils, snow, bitter cold and short working hours. Jennifer never lost faith in getting our project done by steadily motivating her team and kept everything moving forward. Jennifer has excellent communication skills, very organized, super knowledgeable in her industry and an absolute joy to work with. We highly recommend her services!

We 1st worked with Jennifer to coordinate our woodland restoration with removal of invasive plants and planting of native plants and trees. We also worked with her to design and install transitional beds from our wooded area to our lawn area. We enjoyed working with her. She is very easy to work with and very knowledgeable on invasive species and native Wisconsin plants. We will be continuing to work with her on controlling our invasive species and enhancing our woodland area. Not only was her planning phase excellent, her exquisition was also excellent.

Sparrow did a fantastic job designing and creating new prairie out of scraggly grass. Jen was great to work with keeping me informed with each step she performed. Her expertise with native plants is second to none. I'd highly recommend her!

Jennifer Baker of Sparrow Land Planning displayed outstanding management, outstanding involvement and outstanding commitment in transforming our mound system into a native prairie meadow. We especially enjoy all the bird, butterfly and dragonfly activity that has evolved from her design plan!

Sparrow Landscaping recently completed a design/build project at our lake house in central Wisconsin, and we could not be happier with the results. The project included adding stone patios, a meandering pathway, native trees, shrubs, flowers beds and ground cover. It was quite an undertaking, but everything was completed as promised, on time and on budget! We love it ALL and we are already starting to plan a Phase 2 garden project with Sparrow next Spring. I highly recommend this company. 10/10.

We built a new home on a 2 acre lot adjacent to a conservancy and wanted to keep approximately 1 acre in native prairie grass and flowers. Jennifer Baker of Sparrow Landscaping visited and proposed a plan which would blend with the conservancy. She also suggested building 2 swales and running rain water into these swales to alleviate the problem of standing water in our yard. One of the swales has standing water almost always, and in this one Jennifer is planting bur reed and common rush. In the other she is planting fox sedge, blue iris, ironweed and aster. This turned a real problem in our yard into a very attractive asset. It is a 3 year project with the first year being mainly elimination of the existing perennial cover and site preparation. Then comes the planting and maintenance. Our contract with Sparrow Landscaping covers 3 years. I feel that Sparrow Landscaping has done an exceptional job of listening to what we want, suggesting various alternatives and educating us on which of the prairie grasses and flowers would thrive on our soil and what types of wildlife they will attract. I wholeheartedly recommend Sparrow Landscaping. Bill Konrad
