This is a long overdue review which I hate to leave but don't know what else to do…read more We had our both our driveway and garage floor completely replaced in May 2021. Not a cheap job by any means. All looked nice at first but within 2 years, parts of both started showing signs of cracking and spalling. My husband called them back out to see what could be done and were told they couldn't do anything except replace the whole thing again? The explanation is the weather in Chicago is the reason. By the third year, the area where the garage floor meets the concrete driveway and parts of the driveway are crumbling. I didn't expect any of this within the first few years.. and I don't see other newer driveways in my neighborhood with this issue. Something was wrong with what they used or how they mixed their product. Now, water seeps into the garage through the cracks at winter time. It's extremely upsetting and each year that goes by, I get more upset. More and more crumbling. I wish they had better options for us or could do something without charging us for a full redo. Please make this right.

Joe at Green Concepts is by far the best landscaper you could ever hire. His services are…read moreprofessional, high quality, and always reasonably priced. He's one of the few contractors I trust. In addition, he provides a ton of valuable experience and advice to anything related to your property. I had Joe extend my patio, change the grading behind my detached garage, install direct downspout drains to my retention basin, etc. Joe has also provided contacts for numerous other services I needed e.g. plumber, carpenter, pest control, etc. I suggest anyone looking to switch landscapers... go with Joe at Green Concepts. Even if you aren't looking, you should switch to Joe at Green Concepts!

Joe responded quickly and arrived on time to gather information for an estimate. After he found out what my intention was, he offered some valuable advice that I have not considered and gave me a reasonably priced quote with a time line. The work was done professionally, on time, and on budget. I could not have imagined a better outcome. Above all, Joe was very easy to get a hold of and a good communicator. I highly recommend Green Concept.

We had quite a large project that we did with Evanston Masonry. Our century-old brick needed…read moreconsiderable work, with all the mortar being ground out and redone, as well as new lintels, several rows of replaced brick (where previous homeowners had done the wrong thing, resulting in whole rows sagging and collapsing the top of the window), and even a chimney rebuild. From quote to start was more than a year (due to other constraints), and once started the project took several weeks with a lot of scheduling nuances and coordination with other things. Eric and his team did a fantastic job throughout. The crew was friendly and respectful and their work was and is impeccable. Eric was over-the-top communicative both before, during, and after the project. All little issues were resolved immediately, often going above and beyond. We were particularly impressed with how well Eric and his team worked with the older brick, which requires special care and mortar. Even *matching* old brick is quite hard because the size is different from modern brick and there aren't many companies which make it, meaning color options are quite limited. Eric did a fantastic job and I think most people would struggle to pick out the new from the old. Highly recommend for any masonry work.

Johnny was great. He answered the phone right away - every other company put me to voicemail (and…read morea week later!). He came soon after to survey the job for his estimate. He had a lot of great ideas and options for the job at hand - we really wish we had found him and his company earlier to contract the main job (installation of a new shed). He is really personable and it was really great talking to him. He involved my wife when she came out - and we kind of lost track of time as we were talking about some of his previous jobs, his work at his home, and even his cool truck. The job was done when he scheduled it, and done very well (better than the people who would later put up my shed). We had him put down a framed, gravel base and it turned out great. We highly recommend Johnny and Velasco Landscapes. We already are planning our next job!

We get lots of compliments not only did he do our concrete but he did our neighbors, our neighbors' brother's, and a couple of other neighbors' concrete patios on our street, everyone is very happy and satisfied and we highly recommend Velasco Landscapes with Johnny! He is reasonably priced, works very hard, and fast! Fantastic Work! They did it all within a couple of days!

The prices are not the lowest but very competitive. At the end of the day, I was looking for quality job, not the cheapest price. I would highly recommend this company to everyone

They demolished the steps, poured new ones along with a new walkway, and got a perfect shape. They also replaced my house's unusually deep limestone door sill. * They redid my railings, extending them to match the slightly higher layout and also repainting them so i didn't have to get all-new ones. Very friendly, professional, and a good value overall.

We really appreciated the friendly and detailed communication style along the way, one of the best customer service examples in this industry! The overall outcome was acceptable and we're looking forward to many future projects with this company. So yes, we would hire them again! Thank you!
