Construction has been a mess and they were just shut down by the City of Chicago with a Stop Work Order for failing to obtain the proper permits. They also received a warning from the City for failing to have appropriate recycling bins. The management company has been completely unreasonable turning off water without enough notice, randomly shutting down the washing machines and nickel and diming tenants. I would recommend searching elsewhere for ANY service they provide. I wish I could post pics of the mess, the terrible landscaping, the overflowing garbage and invasion we've had to deal with.

When we did the walk-through, they let us know that it would be a 2 - 3 day project. It was finally complete after 33 days. To be fair, there were some really rainy days, but an inspector had to come out to our house 4 times. In the beginning, the communication was severely lacking. We ended up having to call them almost daily to get a progress report. Our front yard was torn up for SO long, it made us seem like the messy neighbors! And we didn't have any explanation as to why unless we contacted them!! Towards the end, they were MUCH better at communication, probably because we become the thorn in their side, calling each day. At the end of the project, I hoped they would give us some sort of discount for grossly underestimating the time it would take, but alas, they did not. They chose to argue with me which left me with a bad taste in my mouth instead of giving us a little bit of monetary compensation, which would have made things feel A LOT better than they did. In the end, our project looks nice! But it was not worth the hassle. Do your self a favor and DIY or hire a different company.

Gary told us he had looked up our property on RedFin and started making all kinds of assumptions based off a 10yr old photo and not taking into account a major remodel or our future landscaping plans. When I asked for a meeting, he essentially told me we didn't meet the minimum bid for them to do the work. No free estimate, no meeting, and he missed out on what was only phase 1 of a much larger project. They might do great work, but their rude customer service definitely missed the mark. UPDATE: 9/12/23 Eeeeek! Gary actually came to our home, without invitation and/or warning. Then called... after the visit? What company does that? He's obviously upset but to go to someone's home because he disagrees with feedback, is both aggressive and crosses all lines of professionalism.

This was a large-scale complex project and Carlos provided expert guidance and execution during every stage of the process (from taking my vision and formulating a comprehensive project plan and images, providing guidance throughout the pool purchasing process, permitting, installation, conceptualizing solutions when needed etc.) Carlos and crew were very diligent and seemlessly coordinated with other parties when needed (the village, crane operator, architect etc). The result is stunning and I look forward to working with them again.

When we purchased our home, our patio was old and dilapidated and our yard was in terrible shape and prone to constant flooding. After meeting with a few landscape architects, most of them wanted to put in a simple design, without care to the drainage issue...most of the prices were outrageous with one even quoting us at the 6 figure range. Pete came to our property (in a socially distant way of course) and immediately began to visualize a design that not only would be aesthetically pleasing, but would solve our drainage issues. After all the permit red tape was sorted out with the city, Pete's crew immediately began work doing demo, excavation, and laying down new stone as well as putting in a new drainage system. Our expectations were completely surpassed, the patio looks amazing and the lawn looks even better! If you need landscaping design work done, Pete will make the process easy and effortless for you and his crew will work incredibly fast while keeping attention to detail..highly recommended!

It was a complex project that involved cutting a square hole in porcelein pavers that were angle set, installing new concrete piers and building a sturdy frame with waterproof membrane. Hot tub installation then involved removing an outlet in a deck post, removing many feet of ipe/cable railing, forklifting the hot tub up onto the deck, positioning it correctly, replacing the ipe/cable railing and outlet, and cleaning up after themselves. And all of this done with great communication throughout, a great smile and a sense of humor. We'll be reaching out to 847 for any future hardscaping work.
