    I was search for a landscaping company to do a spring clean up, place some mulch and pea gravel around the pool. After searching for few weeks and most company's schedules were full and unable to start work until late June. I put a call into Hope's landscaping in aurora. Ernie called me back immediately. Very professional and accommodating, as I had a timeframe I needed it completed by. Ernie came out twice to measure and make sure he had all the info needed as the job was detailed. I can't recommend Hope's Landscaping enough for your landscaping needs. The final project looked amazing, like it should pictured be in a home magazine. Friends and neighbors commented how great the front and backyard looks. Awesome job by Ernie and his team. Hard working, professional at a great price.

    Ernie and his worker Matty(I don't remember if it's correct spell) did a great job with my front and back yard, price was competitive, and the work was pretty neat! They got it done in November last year, so the lawn and the plants are not done yet in the picture, they will be back this spring to tide things up. Ernie is easy to communicate and straightforward, he knows the code and provided suggestions that's for the best of our interest. I recommended him to my neighbors in my community.

    "Final" result of stamped concrete steps

    I want to preface this review by saying that I have never posted a negative service review online, but feel it is necessary in this case. We used Hope's Landscaping to install a patio & bury the sump pump line in Summer 2017. It was the worst contractor experience of my life and I would NEVER recommend their services. Ernie told us that the work would take 1 week and would be completed before Memorial Day. Demo didn't start until June 9th and work was not completed until August 9th. While some of the issues we ran into could be bad luck, there's a lot that was within the control of Hope's. Positives: Office manager Meredith was great to work with. Ernie is quick to respond when you contact him (phone/text/email). Offered financial compensation for errors they made. Negatives: - Ernie is not proactive/does not follow up. Found I was the one calling him to initiate next steps. For example, we waited 8 weeks for the building permit to be approved by the village. When I finally called the village to inquire on the delay, they informed me the application was never submitted by Hope's. - Both inspections by the village failed (pre-pouring of the concrete & final) due to not meeting codes. I don't know much about construction, but I do expect my contractor to know. Ernie claimed the inspector didn't know the codes and was citing us inappropriately. - Ernie hired concrete sub-contractors that he personally had never used. The sub-contractors clearly didn't know how to properly lay stamped concrete (see photos). The entire job had to be pulled out and redone. - A second crew (again that Ernie never personally used) was brought in to re-do the concrete work. The rise of the stairs did not meet code resulting in a SECOND tear out and reinstall. - Buried sump pump line was supposed to be installed so that it could be disconnected in the winter. It was not and Ernie seemed surprised that his crew did it "wrong." Since we could not disconnect for the winter the line froze, pushed up to the surface and pipe cracked. We will now have to call in someone to re-do the work. - Ernie's communication style often became unprofessional. When I would talk to him about concerns he quickly became defensive often to the point of attacking towards me saying things like "you don't know what you're talking about." When the incident with the concrete subcontractors occurred, he berated the worker in my backyard using a plethora of profanities within ear shot of my children. Bottom line: Choose another company for your landscaping needs.

What stood out most to me was how seen and heard I felt throughout the project. Dawn took the time to really listen and understand what we were hoping to create and she delivered something more beautiful than we imagined. Her landscape design was so stunning that we're actually planning to frame it, it's truly a work of art! It was also so refreshing to work with a woman-owned business in this industry. I never once felt like I was being upsold or talked down to. She made every effort to work within our budget and I felt respected and included every step of the way. You can tell Dawn genuinely cares about both her clients and her team in the way because of the pride and care that show up in every detail of her work. The crew was friendly, professional, and tidy, and the communication from start to finish was excellent. They worked very efficiently and did a beautiful job bringing the design to life. Every question I had was answered promptly and thoughtfully and I always felt in the loop. I can't recommend Rooted Outdoor Living highly enough. They're a small local team doing incredible, honest, and artistic work. It's the kind of business I'm proud to support and tell everyone about!

We ended up framing the drawings she provided because they we so beautiful! Throughout the project we had a few changes and additions and Dawn was surprisingly accommodating. Her crew did a terrific job and were clean and professional in their work. Rooted Outdoor Living was not the cheapest option we explored, but their professionalism and quality of work made the cost absolutely worth it and I would argue represents a good value for what they provide. We are looking forward to enjoying our new outdoor space for many years.

    I had been considering for a couple years now having one of my two trees removed (it was hollowing…read moreout bad) and the other pruned. Red Woodpecker Tree Service happened to be in the area and left a flyer. I called them up to request a quote and the guy showed up the next day. I decided to go ahead with it and they started two days later. They discovered the other tree i just wanted pruned had lightning damage and needed to be removed as well (they weren't b.s.'ing me, there were signs this tree also had bad problems for years and when he told me it had lightning damage this it all made sense) so I had both removed. They were professional and quick. Two big old Norway Maples in four hours or less. And as I watched all the big branches being removed one by one I could see the diseased cores in almost all of them. Long story short I would recommend Red Woodpecker for professionalism, skill, speed, and value.

    I would strongly caution others--especially those with elderly family members--before hiring this…read morecompany. They performed tree removal for my father, who is a senior, and the pricing and sales approach were extremely concerning. He was quoted and charged significantly more than what other local companies later estimated for the same work. There was also a sense of pressure to agree on the spot, which made it difficult for him to fully understand or compare options. After getting additional quotes, it became clear that the cost was far above market value, almost double! Nick suggested that my father requested additional work, when in fact, the company was asked to complete the project that was started -clean up and haul away branches and debris (this was included in the initial quote). This experience felt like taking advantage of someone who may not have had all the information or support at the time. I recommend getting multiple quotes and having a second person present before agreeing to any work with this company.
