Please stay far away from this company! Chris is extremely unprofessional and I would not trust him around my family or home. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our appointment with Chris due to illness and other home repair schedules. Instead of kindly asking to reschedule with us, he sent very disrespectful text messages. I have proof of him calling us rude and ignorant and a wasted hour drive for him. In any other position, this would be grounds for firing. Since Chris is a lead, he clearly does not care about his behavior or his treatment of his customers. Also, please keep in mind we most certainly would not contact a company to request an hour drive. We live in his local area. We were not the customer using his services out of location. read more

Rich was very professional at first interaction. He was the project manager for my landscape project. The crew removed my crumbling bricks from the front and sides of my home. He went above and beyond and had the crew cut my tall bushes due to my husband not being able to any longer as a courtesy. I love my new old quarry landscaping design. the crew was also very hardworking and prompt. Thank you! read more

Chris and his team were very professional and on-time with all meetings and the project. They took the time to provide design options and ensured our design and functionality goals were met. The team was very detailed and did a quality job that turned out beautiful. Highly recommended. read more

You can expect nothing but AMAZING when working with Chris Hooks and his team!!! We had to redo 30 years of landscaping, mulch, rock, trim, YOU NAME IT, and they made it look brand new again. They are fast, clean and perfectionists. I can't express enough how Hooks Landscaping goes above and beyond for all your landscaping needs!!! read more

Hook's Landscaping is amazing. Chris and his team are very attentive, professional, responsive and great to work with. We had Hook's add on to our existing paver patio. Not only did they do an amazing job on the patio, they helped fix a couple spots that were in bad shape from the previous company who we used that shall remain nameless. All you need to know about the other company, is that we did not use them again. Unlike Hooks, who will be the first company we call for any future work. Chris and his team were so great with the patio, we had them also install landscaping around our house. And again, they did an amazing job. And to top it all off, they are super reasonable!! Thanks for all your help Hook's!! read more

I had a huge birch tree along with some bushes ripped out in the fall from another company. I was in need to redo my front landscaping as it was bare. I worked with Steve on my project. He had great ideas and created a digital design for me to envision the end product. When my yard was finished I received an email on how to care for the new plants and how often to water which was very helpful. I'm very happy with the end results. read more

Hook's just finished my medium sized brick paver project - back patio, front walkway replacement and driveway apron. I have been happy with Chris' responsiveness and advice from the very beginning, and now that the job is completed, I couldn't be happier. The crew was totally skilled and efficient, to the point that several neighbors stopped by to comment and inquire as to who they were. I would recommend no other company for this type of work. read more

Hooks landscaping is a top tier organization. Quality work, and they operate quickly and efficiently. Steve has a great eye for making the exterior of your home beautiful. They even installed a new mailbox with very short notice. Hooks is also a company with high integrity. Steve does the right thing, and will work with you if there are complications. I have always been taught that the true measure of an organization is how they respond when things do not go perfectly. Hooks stands by their work, and does what is necessary to make things right. I would not hesitate to recommend them for your landscaping needs read more

Hook's landscaping service shows up an hour before noise ordinance at 6am running mowers and trimmers. Call the number on the truck and ask nicely to wait two seperate occurances in a row and the guy on the phone blows up. Says its not his problem to know noise times and that callers just make problems for him. Says I the caller keep making shit for him, that I'll have problems, and hangs up. Absolutely ludacris person running this company. read more

We were really pleased with the landscaping service provided by Hook's. Of the 7 landscaping companies we called, Hook's was the only one that promptly responded to us and was willing to take on our smaller project. We worked primarily with Rich, who was super responsive and understood our needs. We felt like the bid for labor and plants was fair. On the day of installation, the guys worked hard and made sure to touch base with us to ensure we liked the shape of the new garden beds and layout of the plants. We're really happy with the final result of the project! read more

Sent a request for an estimate on a Saturday afternoon not expecting a response for a few days. I received an email back within an hour acknowledging my request and a phone call an hour later. By Tuesday Steve was out to review what we needed done and had a quote to us by Thursday. We had also called other places for quotes and as of today only 2 places responded - one never showed up when they said they would and the other couldn't even look at the yard for over a week. Once we made a decision on what we needed done I contacted Steve and he scheduled us within days....I was expecting a month wait and it was totally done 4 days after accepting his quote. He did exactly what we asked and we couldn't be happier ....but the customer service and the fact Steve was always so quick to respond is even more impressive. I would highly recommend (and already have to other friends/family) Hooks Landscaping. read more

I have used this company for the past several years. First to have my landscape replaced due to age. They also did some decorative stone edging which turned out beautifully. Since then they have been my maintenance service for lawn cutting and trimming of plants and bushes. The crew does a great job of mowing the lawn, cutting each time in a different direction and cleaning up completely when done. They also do a fantastic job of trimming the bushes and decorative plants. My lawn had never looked better. read more

Chris Hook is extremely professional, very helpful with designs and layout, and just very pleasant to work with. He was on time for appointments. He carefully laid out details of project: product, time and cost. He worked within my budget and provided guidance for the best paver brick and wall colors. The crew was exceptionally neat and also professional. They worked diligently to complete project on time - 2 days to remove concrete patio and install paver bricks. Very satisfied and will enjoy using my new patio! Highly recommend his company and crew. read more

Work was done very well. Landscaping, stone walkway, and full sod installation was what was contracted. The walkway especially exceeded all of our expectations. The price was fair and all of the work was done in a timely manner with excellent communication. Highly recommended. read more

The most unprofessional business I've ever delt with. They avoid you to address issues, hang up on you, show up on your properly without permission AFTER you tell them not to. I pursued legal action in order to resolve my issues... and had to install cameras around my home. read more

Early last fall, I started investigating local businesses to redo our back patio. In the process of attempting to work with 4 firms, Chris was the only one that consistently communicated with me. Through the bid process, he did exactly what and when he said. (That's a big deal to me and I find is the exception). Our patio is almost completed, and we couldn't be happier. Through installation, Chris continued doing exactly what and when he committed to. I highly recommend calling Chris to discuss possibilities for your next project. read more

Hook's landscaping did a fantastic job removing trees and replacing, repairing my retaining wall and laying down new rock/plastic for weeds. Chris was super responsive and attentive. My yard looks refreshed and cleaned up! I would definitely recommend using Hook's for any landscaping project! read more

I live in Bourbonnais and i reached out to Hook's Landscaping after not having been happy with turnaround of services by Bourbonnais-based Tholen's Landscaping. I called Chris, he responded quickly and came out to see the property within a few days. After gathering input on what I wanted, I received a computerized image of the front of my house with the proposed landscaping. This was very helpful in deciding if I'd like the look. I ended up hiring Hook's to also put in a paver patio and get a few good size trees in the back, besides re-doing the entire front of the house. The results were beautiful; I've received alot of compliments on all that was done. And I was very happy to see that Hook's designs very well. Chris and his team deliver high-quality work on time; from contract signing to project completion, it was less than six weeks. Also, Chris was very responsive from start to finish, which helps greatly in making working with a contractor a positive experience! I highly recommend Hooks Landscaping of Mokena and I greatly appreciate their coming out to Bourbonnais. read more

We had paver work and landscaping done to our home and are extremely pleased with the level of professionalism. Chris and his team where outstanding! We had our project scheduled and they not only started earlier then scheduled but finished the Job with attention to detail. If you plan on having any landscaping done, Hook's Landscaping has an "A" team. Thank for following up and following through. read more

I started my quest to find a reputable landscaping company and boy did I ever find one in Hook's Landscaping. Cathy was one of only 5 people to call me back after about 20 request for estimate features on companies webpages. She came out explained to me in detail on what she would do with our backyard and had me a quote within a few days. This project consisted of filling in a Koi pond, removing gigantic rocks/boulders, putting up a base for a shed, grading the entire back yard and sodding it. Hook's did this all and then some in roughly 2 days. They even tried to help defuse a situation between our tree removal service and us. They went out of their way to leave a pathway for them to come in and finish removing some stumps/roots. Because of Cathy and her team we have a full and beautiful backyard again. I can't say enough good things about Hook's and their crew. They stayed in constant communication and were the definition of professional. Thank you to Cathy and the entire Hook's Landscaping crew for making our vision come true!! read more

Steve and his great crew recently tore out an old deck and replaced it with a beautiful paver patio along with a fire pit. He worked with us regarding design, colors, landscaping and trees. Steve and his crew were very professional, efficient and pleasant to work with. We had them come back and change a few things in the front of the house too. Strongly recommend Steve and all the guys at Hook's landscaping! read more

I would never recommend these people they messed up on my tree cutting which the former employee was great she cut the tree at the right time to prevent apples to take I paid to have stone removed and sod planted some sod did not take and Chris said it was my fault and was rude. Put your money elsewhere read more

We wanted a paver patio with a gas fire pit and we were assured that they "did these all the time". However, the design they recommended, when reviewed by a professional plumber, was dangerous and could have exploded!! They tried charging us for materials that were not appropriate for the job. They actually recommended using plastic tubing inside the fire pit! Less than a year later, we have broken pavers, places where there is no sand between the pavers and moss and weeds growing in between. I notified the owner of the broken pavers and lack of sand three months ago. When I notified him of the moss and weeds he said, and I quote: "I'm not fixing your moss and weeds. Get a power washer and wash it off." He also stated he won't repair the broken pavers. If that's the kind of service you'd like for a patio costing thousands of dollars, give them a call. If not, I suggest you find a professional and courteous alternative! read more
