Absolutely Stunning!…read more Just had Fields Nursery complete a redesign of our back yard. Posted I have provided a "pano" photo of the complete work. Tom Gollick and his team did an outstanding job. The entire job included the designing, planting of arperzvites, pine tree, bushes, ground cover, and plants, as well as installing the outcropping and paver stones. Their hard work and good ideas resulted in beautiful back yard setting. The Fields team was very efficient and adjusted well to whatever ideas and modifications my wife and I suggested. Each member of the team was very professional. My wife and I are very satisfied with all of the completed work and will undoubtedly enjoy our back yard for many years to come. Kudos to Tom and his team. I highly recommend Fields Nursery for any/all future work/product. Respectfully Submitted T&T

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.

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.

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!

A few weeks ago, I found myself in the unenviable position of having a set of tires of which I…read moreneeded to dispose. I didn't realize that tires have been banned from Illinois landfills, so I couldn't just throw them into or alongside my garbage cans. After doing a bit of research online, I came across this business, Recycled Rubber Products, and I was elated to learn that they would take those four tires from me for a mere $2.50/tire. I called late in the day, and traffic had pushed my timetable back so that I would be arriving after their posted closing time, but after calling them to inform them of my situation, the woman (the owner of the repurposing component of this business) explained that she would happily remain onsite until I arrived. I was THRILLED once I rolled the last time out of my truck; I had reclaimed the space that four useless rubber rings had been taking up in my garage, and that was enough to warrant a 5-star review in-and-of-itself. However, I was even more pleased when I learned what this company was going to be doing with my tires: turning it into the bedding/lining material you would find in playgrounds! While I was onsite (again, after the business should have been closed and she should have been well on her way home), the owner even went out of her way to grab a few samples (red, blue, and yellow variants) for me to marvel over. If you ever find yourself in the same predicament, needing to throw away tires without knowing where to turn, do yourself a favor as I did and take them to this location. You'll be very happy to be relieved of your burdensome rubber, but you'll be even happier knowing what will become of them in the future!

Adam, the owner, responded almost immediately letting me know that he was booked through July. I loved the fact that a) he responded at all vs just ignoring the request, b) was upfront and honest about his timeline vs just taking the job and overextending himself. Once I told him that we were in no rush, and would be happy to wait, he proceeded to text back and forth with me helping me get an idea as to what the job might cost. He made recommendations about plants, etc....and all this without officially having secured my business. Towards the end of July, I reached back out to see what his timeline looked like. Again, he responded almost immediately. He apologized for not getting back to me sooner, and said he would come out to measure the area, and discuss the job in more detail. In my mind, he had absolutely nothing to apologizing for. He set a date to come out, came out exactly at the time he promised, and helped us figure out what would look good. He provided a written, detailed estimate, which he adhered to...we paid exactly what he quoted. On the day of the job, he showed up as promised and on time. He laid out all of the plants, and allowed us to move them around several times until we got everything exactly the way we wanted it. His team worked quickly and neatly. The end results are amazing! I literally couldn't be any happier with this company. If I could give more than five stars, I would
