  • The fine gardening crew at Madison Earth Care has been maintaining my perennial gardens for many years. They arrive once a month eager to prune, deadhead, fertilize, transplant or do whatever else may be needed to be done. James is knowledgeable and able to diagnose issues with struggling plants as well as recommending changes that enhance the garden’s appearance. If you no longer have the time, energy or interest to work in your garden, I recommend contacting MEC.

  • Madison Earth Care is one of the last businesses I know that truly seems to care about their customers as well as their employees, the work they did for me on my property for mulching and planting is beautiful. If I had a question it was answered promptly! I will use them for everything now. Even the gift shop and garden center is such a great place to go, if I just need soil, or a gift for a friend. It really is so much better than having to travel further to a chain/box store where the service isn’t as personal. Thank you Madison earth care!
