  • Highly recommended for landscaping services! Prior to contacting Madison Earth Care, my backyard pooled a large amount of water. Jay and his team from Madison Earth Care were able to grade the backyard and flow all of the water away from my home. Great job and will be using Madison Earth Care for future projects.

  • What truly sets MEC apart is the spirit of unity they cultivate year-round. They understand that creating enchanting outdoor spaces is not just about design, but also about bringing people closer to the beauty of nature and each other. And this philosophy resonates in every nook and cranny of their store and their services.

    + PLUS, their annual 2-day Earth Day extravaganza is a true highlight on our calendar, and has been for the past 10 years! With friendly livestock, tantalizing food trucks, and local vendors showcasing their crafts, it's a wonderful celebration of nature and community coming together in perfect harmony. Seriously, if you have not yet had a chance to check it out, do not miss it next year along with all of their other wonderful events!
