Our Approach to Landscaping

Great landscapes don’t happen by accident. They are carefully planned, expertly installed, and refined over time.

We begin with a clear understanding of

  • how you live

  • how your property functions

  • how each element should work together

The result is a landscape that feels natural, elevated, and effortless, yet performs beautifully in every season.

A well-designed landscape should look stunning today and continue to improve with time.

We select plant material suited to your property, soil conditions, and climate, and we design with growth, maintenance, and durability in mind.

Whatever your goal:

  • refined curb appeal

  • a welcoming outdoor setting

  • a seamless connection between home, landscape, and hardscape

Our services create a foundation that supports it all.

He joined the family business after studying Agriculture and Soil Science at South Dakota State University, where he was also a member of the FarmHouse Fraternity. Adam oversees the operations side of the business, managing project construction and field execution.

  • Ashley, Bailey and Adam were a pleasure to work with on our stone wall project. Very responsive and helpful during the design and implementation. Will definitely use Bret-Mar again!

    — Marie

  • We have worked with Bret-Mar landscape for several of the projects in our yard and their work is top-notch. The entire team and crew at Bret-Mar goes above and beyond in their attention to detail, professionalism, communication & care throughout the project. Our yard has become a feature of our property and we are so grateful that Bret-Mar brought our vision to life.

    — jrse08

  • We are absolutely thrilled with the beauty and natural look of the landscaping. Sharon was very knowledgeable, professional and responsive. The staff and workers were friendly, courteous, and experienced. We highly recommend Bret-Mar for all your landscaping needs.

    — Roseanne G.

  • Bret-Mar always does such beautiful work, and not only do you get to enjoy the improved living space, it also ends up paying off as a great investment! We've had them do several improvements to our yard over the years. Now we are downsizing and moving to a condo, and so we listed our home for sale. We ended up getting much more money for our house than we expected, and the first couple who came to see it bought it!

    - Timothy M.

  • We recently had our front yard designed and installed by Bre-Mar. We had worked directly with Sharon.  She followed up on the project from start to finish.  Our vision, due to her knowledge, expertise, and professionalism provided us with a front yard that we are so proud of.  It truly exceeded our expectations.

    - Karen

  • I have used the services of Bret-Mar Landscape for the past eighteen years - from landscape design in both my front and back yards, brick paver installation, the design and installation of a pond and waterfall, and selection of mature trees for planting.

    Everyone at Bret Mar is thoughtful and really listen to a client's wants and wishes when planning.  Their suggestions are creative and very natural looking. I look forward to my next project.  It's always enjoyable working with them.  They treat me like I am their only client.

    - Dawn B.
