All seven reviews are five-star. Recent work shows Matt leading projects with strong communication and organization. A 180-foot stone wall and multiple patios earned specific praise for quality, reasonable pricing, and willingness to exceed scope. Evidence is limited to three review texts spanning five years, but the pattern is consistent.

Ahlgren earns strong marks for lawn care, mulch work, and hardscaping when delivering on schedule. Owner Chris and his crews handle multi-day projects with daily site cleanup. Gaps emerge in snow removal execution: some customers report missed commitments, incomplete lot coverage, or only partial driveway plowing despite contracts stating full service. Landscaping and grounds work tend to satisfy; winter services carry higher risk of complaint.
