Price point is very fair for the QUALITY work they do. I will always recommend this company to friends family and business associates.

Over the years, we've tried several other landscaping companies, and none of them compare to the quality, reliability, and service we receive from Ross & Jack's. Their team is consistently professional, thorough, and dependable. The lawn always looks great, and I especially appreciate that they take the time to hand-pull weeds and pay attention to the details that other companies often overlook. Their spring and fall cleanups are incredibly comprehensive and leave our property looking its absolute best. The crew is always friendly, courteous, and hardworking. Management is equally impressive, with excellent communication and responsiveness. They are proactive, easy to reach, and always ensure everything is handled smoothly.

Their crew is meticulous, thorough and reliable and our property looks great. Over the years we have also used them for other things. They do all our landscape design, plant selection and installation. We also used them for a large hardscape project. The biggest project they tackled for us involved working with our plumber and the city of Elmhurst. They handled all permitting, dug and built a drywell in our front lawn and routed the overflow from it underground into the storm sewer in the middle of the street. This company is extremely professional, experts in what they do and above all, we trust them. They are also a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top quality, full-service landscape provider.

After living in my new construction house, my wife and I decided that it was finally time to get a…read morebackyard patio. All we saw was a bare backyard with a lot of green grass with some weeds. We did have some "wants" on our list which included a natural gas firepit, natural gas line for grill, seating for ~6-8 people, and enough room for entertain with some food, drinks, and a nice place to relax. From the start to the finish, Grant and Power was completely different than the other companies. Other locations just met you outside, what you wanted, and how big. Then we got a quote. However, when I contacted Grant and Powers, they started out with an email with some essential information like their insurance, a pamphlet and other information to get us started. We talked about what we were looking and then waited for our appointment Our appointment was different. Instead of going outside and talking about size... Gene sat us down to talk to us. He wanted to know what we wanted, what we were looking for and what we wanted to spend. We told him about how we were going to use the space and what we wanted and gave him our budget. Afterwards we talked about modern trends and what designs are in/out, how we wanted to place everything. Then off he went with the rest of the team to start designing it after a small down payment. He asked about budget and we talked about how much it might cost, but of course, the final bill could vary depending on the design. A few weeks later, we had another appointment where he showed us the design and it was amazing. They really sat down and listened to what we wanted because it looked amazing. The budget was completely out of our range.. granted, we knew our budget was on the low side of things, but they were willing to work with us to make this affordable. Finally, our day arrived. We got a call the night before that they were arriving in the morning to get started. During the process, the team were good...i would give them a 4.5/5 for a few minor things.They did talk to us a few times but I wish we were updated better. They were good about protecting our lawn even though some areas did suffer. Luckily (For us and them), our backyard had nothing out there. It was just bare land with green-ish grass. From start to finish, they were done in a week. We waited an extra day for another group of guys to show up to set up the firepit and show us how to use it. They were in and out fairly quickly. In the end, we got a beautiful patio. One section to entertain/eat. The other area is for the firepit and grill. Due to the design, they both feel separate from each other. We did find some minor damages that the team did not let me know or Gene. But he is going out of his way to making it right and I appreciate it. Ive had some neighbors stop by to marvel at the patio. Overall, if I were to ever move away, I would go back to this company to design a beautiful space again. I would completely recommend this company if you are looking for the same.

Scheduling was easy, they got right to work. When there were issues, Shawn was in touch immediately and the issues were resolved often before we even realized they existed. The patio and retaining wall are gorgeous! The steps out to the yard, and the stoop from the house are a HUGE improvement over what we had before, and all done for a very reasonable price, especially since we did shop around. Needless to say, we love our new backyard and hubby even says he now has room for more grills! We have no complaints; the workmanship, value, and communication were all outstanding.

We got a few quotes for replacement, and were disappointed by the cost to redo an underwhelming design. If we were going to invest significant dollars, why not get a more interesting plan using pavers? A few more estimates revealed that design ideas had to come from us..."tell us what you want". Finally, we were referred to Nathan Filip at POE in Elmhurst. After 1 meeting with Nathan and Kevin, we were presented with renderings which were nearly perfect. Their design used 3 different stone types which gave our mid century home an amazing transformation. Every stair included low voltage lighting as did the tiered flower beds. Midway through the project, I decided that I was not happy with the 10 pallets of pavers which were going to be used on the stair landings and driveway. I emailed Nathan who called me within 5 minutes, and was at our home 15 minutes later. After a 30 minute discussion, and looking at a catalog, a new stone was chosen. The new pavers were delivered on the next work day, and the installation continued. I can't say enough good things about the installation crew. They were punctual, polite, neat, fast, efficient, and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The foreman was a master craftsmen who worked harder than anyone....always pleasant in blistering heat or pouring rain. Nathan and Rick were on site often...always willing to answer our questions or provide solutions. They installed our new light fixtures and even added an outdoor counter and pizza oven. Their goal is to please the customer beyond expectations by attention to every detail however small. Many thanks to Nathan for building a beautiful curb appeal which shows how much we love our home.

I got hosed by these guys. I reached out in March. I wanted irrigation, landscaping, and lighting…read more They communicated ok, but they move so slow. All along I was telling them that I wanted this done before pool season. I already have the pool and patio (the hard stuff). I wanted to get the finishing touches with plants, lights, and the irrigation. Took weeks to get a design that you have to pay for ($500). All along I said I had $25k budget and they kept telling me they could make it work. Then after we settled on the design they said they had to get a quote for the irrigation (they outsource it), that took another three weeks. Then another three weeks to get the estimate which came in at $39k. Way over budget. They tried to get me to do it in pieces some this year and next because it was so over budget. They said that they underestimated the irrigation. But that was 7k, which means they were over budget before that while all along they were leading me on that they could do the project for my budget. They said they were a bigger company with marketing, a design team, HR, etc which is why they charge a bit of a premium compared to the mom and pop shops. Then my wife wanted to just do it despite my not liking how things were going, so I was going to go with it rather than start over with another search and miss the summer. So I asked when could we start and they said mid-July. That was it. I started this with them in early March, they took forever every step of the way, then they were like this is their busy season. But mid July, the summer is over then I have to deal with that mess during pool season. Never had they told me they couldn't do it early despite me constantly asking and saying I wanted this done before pool season (mind you, it was unseasonably cold for all of May so pool season started later than normal). That was it. They lost my confidence and I felt like they were not being straight with me. Then they blamed it on the new kid I was working with and maybe it was him, but that's their problem that they didn't train him better or stay on top of him while he was learning. But at the end of the day I asked the guy who cuts my grass weekly if he could do the landscape work and he did it; and did a great job (started the next week). I found AV Lighting And Irrigation on Yelp, he did a great job and worked with my landscaper to coordinate the projects. I was done in literally three weeks. Started talking to Mondo and AV in mid May, and was completely done in mid June. Project turned out fantastic, so with the $500 for the POE design, my entire project costs $24k. So under budget. POE's value prop was I pay the premium with them because they handle everything and I get this project managed white glove project, but what I got was delay, over budget, wasted time, and a good design. But if I'm being honest I could've got a similar design from Fiverr and used Mondo and AV and would've been fine. Maybe POE would've done a great job, but they couldn't get out of their own way and they were not worth what they were charging. 24k vs 39k, and I added more sprinkler heads, and the parkway, added more landscape and pergola lights...you decide? I included the finished project photos to prove that they other guys did a great job and I'm not just blasting POE. I'm fair and I don't doubt they'd have done a good job, they dropped the ball with my project.

Do not pay this company until you are completely satisfied with the quality of the work (or look…read morefor a different business) - they will not respond if there are any defects after they have been paid. I found Sur-Seal on Yelp and decided to trust the reviews even though there were only three because I thought a newer company may have better client service. When I signed the contract in April for my office parking lot, I requested the job be done between July to September. They wanted to do the job as soon as possible even though the weather was not stable, so I had to decline their requests to do the work in May/June even though I had specifically stated my timeline. I approved July 13, a Saturday, for the work - they finished the job quickly and left. I was taken aback that they returned only an hour later to paint the yellow lines for our parking spots (restriping). In all prior experiences, every single company I have worked with waits a minimum of 1 or 2 days after the sealcoating has had a chance to completely dry out to finish painting. However, Rory, the owner, kept saying that the temperature was high and one hour was enough for the sealcoating layer to completely dry out according to his 30 years of experience. Unfortunately, there was also a thunderstorm that same day, so I contacted Rory about my concerns over the sealcoating work. It is very obvious as seen in the pictures taken the following Monday (only two days later) that there are cracked lines and tire marks on the paint after a single day of traffic. Given that the rain ruined the parking lot surface, it is obvious the sealcoating was not dry, and definitely was not dry when they painted the yellow lines. I followed up with Rory several times, but was ignored until I specifically stated that the company does not deserve a 5 star review. This is when he finally responded that they will come back to do some touch up work. I have waited patiently for over 2 months but they have not returned. My follow up emails since then have also gone unanswered. My landscaping company has told me my parking lot looks worse than before the sealcoating work. Like I said earlier, I recommend holding off on full payment until the job is completed satisfactorily or going elsewhere to avoid potential defects in the work.
