Aside from leaving heavy machinery running and unattended in residents' backyards, the scheduling…read moreis incredibly inconsistent. I'm a dog owner (as are many other residents), and the fact that we cannot count on this crew to arrive at a consistent time each week is incredibly stressful. Since they take TWO FULL DAYS to mow our portion of the neighborhood, this means we're effectively unable to enjoy the use our backyards for two days out of the week. Since the yards are also cared for piecemeal (ex. Someone cuts, someone else comes by an hour or two later and edges, then someone else comes by after another hour or two and blows), we have no way of knowing who will be entering our yards at any given time; the whole practice seems to be for the benefit of padding hours. A bit of forethought, organization and common courtesy would go a long way to solve these issues.

I told them I was traveling this weekend and can't pay bills after 6pm on a Friday while our of town without any pictures of proof that work Is completed. 3. My objection was to not being able to use a secured website and being forced to provide a credit card number to someone who is very hostile on the phone. 4. They demanded immediate payment with 3.5% debit card fee which doesn't leave me an option to pay by a check even though their invoice states 5 day grace period. Original review: The office staff was rude and unprofessional. The lady called me while I was out of town and immediately started arguing with me, demanding I pay them right away without any proof that the work was even done. They run everything like it's still 2005 -- they can't even send a simple link to pay with a credit card. They also charge a 3.5% fee for using a credit card, but that fee doesn't even show up on the receipt. Pretty scammy if you ask me.

Aaron and Geronimo, two landscaping managers visited our home repeatedly checking on final plans and during the installation. And the crew was fantastic! They went above and beyond.

I appreciated the response and was initially encouraged. Fran acknowledged that there should not be this much mud and water retention in the affected area.

Fran told me he would return to complete the corrective work. I'm still waiting for them to schedule a day to come out, and I'm hopeful for a resolution.

Not Recommended -- Poor Communication and Unresolved Work…read more When we purchased our new construction home, the builder identified a drainage issue in our backyard. After we moved in, the builder arranged for Green Day Pro Landscaping to address the drainage-related work at the same time we hired them for additional landscaping and sod installation. Our portion of the landscaping project was approximately $11,000, and we paid Green Day Pro Landscaping in full on the day the work was completed. However, the builder did not pay Green Day for the sod portion of the project. Unfortunately, Green Day has allowed the payment dispute with the builder to affect us, even though we fulfilled our financial obligation and paid our invoice in full. We have made numerous calls and sent emails regarding issues with the work that Green Day installed. Appointments have been scheduled, only for them not to show up, and the problems remain unresolved. The situation became even more concerning when the owner decided to show up at our home without an appointment to perform the work. When my husband asked him to leave because there was no scheduled appointment, the owner stated that we did not need to be home for him to complete the work. We strongly disagree with that approach. This is our private property, and any work should be scheduled and coordinated with the homeowners in advance. At this point, Green Day has effectively abandoned its responsibility to correct issues with work that it installed improperly, leaving us to find another company to make the necessary repairs. We paid our portion in full and expected professional communication, scheduled appointments, and quality workmanship. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience. Based on our experience, we do not recommend Green Day Pro Landscaping.

We had an incredible experience working with King's Landscaping and couldn't recommend them more…read morehighly. From start to finish, they handled everything--landscape design, project management, patio design for our outdoor sauna area, and all of the plantings throughout our front, back, and side yards. A huge shoutout to our design expert and project manager, Daniel Mourlas. He truly went above and beyond. Daniel is knowledgeable, assertive, and clearly has a wealth of experience and expertise. At the same time, he was incredibly patient, friendly, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. What really set him apart was how seamlessly he managed every aspect of the project--coordinating with our village, handling permits, and overseeing all teams including hardscape, landscaping, and irrigation. He made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and smooth. The end result is absolutely beautiful, and we are so happy with our outdoor spaces. If you're looking for a landscaping company that delivers both exceptional results and top-tier service, King's Landscaping is it.

Several years ago, the concrete on two stairways to our home along with the driveway began showing…read moresome cracks. We got a few quotes for replacement, and were disappointed by the cost to redo an underwhelming design. If we were going to invest significant dollars, why not get a more interesting plan using pavers? A few more estimates revealed that design ideas had to come from us..."tell us what you want". Finally, we were referred to Nathan Filip at POE in Elmhurst. After 1 meeting with Nathan and Kevin, we were presented with renderings which were nearly perfect. Their design used 3 different stone types which gave our mid century home an amazing transformation. Every stair included low voltage lighting as did the tiered flower beds. Midway through the project, I decided that I was not happy with the 10 pallets of pavers which were going to be used on the stair landings and driveway. I emailed Nathan who called me within 5 minutes, and was at our home 15 minutes later. After a 30 minute discussion, and looking at a catalog, a new stone was chosen. The new pavers were delivered on the next work day, and the installation continued. I can't say enough good things about the installation crew. They were punctual, polite, neat, fast, efficient, and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The foreman was a master craftsmen who worked harder than anyone....always pleasant in blistering heat or pouring rain. Nathan and Rick were on site often...always willing to answer our questions or provide solutions. They installed our new light fixtures and even added an outdoor counter and pizza oven. Their goal is to please the customer beyond expectations by attention to every detail however small. Many thanks to Nathan for building a beautiful curb appeal which shows how much we love our home.

I got hosed by these guys. I reached out in March. I wanted irrigation, landscaping, and lighting…read more They communicated ok, but they move so slow. All along I was telling them that I wanted this done before pool season. I already have the pool and patio (the hard stuff). I wanted to get the finishing touches with plants, lights, and the irrigation. Took weeks to get a design that you have to pay for ($500). All along I said I had $25k budget and they kept telling me they could make it work. Then after we settled on the design they said they had to get a quote for the irrigation (they outsource it), that took another three weeks. Then another three weeks to get the estimate which came in at $39k. Way over budget. They tried to get me to do it in pieces some this year and next because it was so over budget. They said that they underestimated the irrigation. But that was 7k, which means they were over budget before that while all along they were leading me on that they could do the project for my budget. They said they were a bigger company with marketing, a design team, HR, etc which is why they charge a bit of a premium compared to the mom and pop shops. Then my wife wanted to just do it despite my not liking how things were going, so I was going to go with it rather than start over with another search and miss the summer. So I asked when could we start and they said mid-July. That was it. I started this with them in early March, they took forever every step of the way, then they were like this is their busy season. But mid July, the summer is over then I have to deal with that mess during pool season. Never had they told me they couldn't do it early despite me constantly asking and saying I wanted this done before pool season (mind you, it was unseasonably cold for all of May so pool season started later than normal). That was it. They lost my confidence and I felt like they were not being straight with me. Then they blamed it on the new kid I was working with and maybe it was him, but that's their problem that they didn't train him better or stay on top of him while he was learning. But at the end of the day I asked the guy who cuts my grass weekly if he could do the landscape work and he did it; and did a great job (started the next week). I found AV Lighting And Irrigation on Yelp, he did a great job and worked with my landscaper to coordinate the projects. I was done in literally three weeks. Started talking to Mondo and AV in mid May, and was completely done in mid June. Project turned out fantastic, so with the $500 for the POE design, my entire project costs $24k. So under budget. POE's value prop was I pay the premium with them because they handle everything and I get this project managed white glove project, but what I got was delay, over budget, wasted time, and a good design. But if I'm being honest I could've got a similar design from Fiverr and used Mondo and AV and would've been fine. Maybe POE would've done a great job, but they couldn't get out of their own way and they were not worth what they were charging. 24k vs 39k, and I added more sprinkler heads, and the parkway, added more landscape and pergola lights...you decide? I included the finished project photos to prove that they other guys did a great job and I'm not just blasting POE. I'm fair and I don't doubt they'd have done a good job, they dropped the ball with my project.
