In the design phase Doug quickly grasped our intent - to screen a neighbor's utility building - and offered great suggestions on which plantings would work best. His design incorporated multiple large trees at a very reasonable price. The job was complicated by multiple underground utilities, and during the installation phase they worked closely with Julie on-site to ensure they were avoided. Doug hand picked the major trees at the nursery, and on planting day positioned all the plants to our approval. The crew was efficient , professional and very courteous throughout the job, and quickly addressed any concerns we had. Since moving to Illinois 17 years ago we have employed three landscaping companies for major planting or patio installations. Scott, Doug and his crew are by far and away the best we have had. I highly recommend them!

Rick and ELM Landscaping are my go-to crew. Rick is professional, friendly and genuinely enjoys…read morepartnering with customers and providing outstanding service. I hired Rick to supervise a crew to install 30 tonnes of pea gravel and 3/4 in rock in our backyard. The scope of the project was to staple fabric across the area, which was approx. 0.15 acres then wheelbarrow the gravel to different areas around the backyard and finally rake it even. Rick was on the project every morning with a positive attitude and strong ownership of the daily work and for the overall project. It's stressful having people doing work around your property for a week, but his team was completely reliable, self sufficient and conscientious about noise levels and such. I also appreciated how clean Rick and his crew left the work site each night. They'd pick up any debris and tools and were ready to go for the next day. After the gravel landscape installation, Rick stayed on to oversee the landscape maintenance of our half acre property with 47 varieties of plants, bushes, trees and grass and over 1000 ft of irrigation. I trust him to take care of my property and to do the right thing for my landscape. Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Elm Landscapes to rejuvenate our disaster of a yard…read more The team was professional and very knowledgeable. The yard was covered in dead grass and weeds and they made quick work of removing it and prepping the existing soil for sod. Once the cleanup was done they promptly began laying the sod and before I knew it my yard was completely revamped. I couldn't be happier with the service or price, big thank you to the Elm Landscape team for revamping my yard.

We recently hired Santanas Landscaping to completely transform our backyard, and I can honestly say…read morethat Daniel and his team exceeded every expectation we had. Our backyard started as a rough, outdated space with an old shed that had become a major eyesore, a lawn overrun with weeds, and a large amount of old concrete that needed to be removed. One of the biggest challenges was that all of the demolition debris had to be taken out through a very tight access point, but the crew handled it efficiently without any issues. From start to finish, Daniel and his team were organized, professional, and incredibly hardworking. They removed the shed, demolished and hauled away all of the old concrete, cleared the overgrown lawn, and completely transformed the space. The quality of the materials they used was excellent. They built a beautiful stone patio exactly the way we envisioned it, installed an elegant pathway accented with Mexican river rock, and created two separate areas--one for our pool and another with fresh sod for a small lawn. The finished project turned what was once an unusable backyard into a peaceful retreat where our family loves spending time. What impressed me most was the pride they took in their work. Every detail was carefully completed, and the craftsmanship really shows. Their pricing was fair, and after seeing the final result, I can confidently say the project was worth every penny. If you're looking for a landscaping company that is reliable, professional, fairly priced, and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Santanas Landscaping. Daniel and his team did an amazing job, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family

If you're thinking about hiring Ben G Landscaping for grading or any services, stop right now…read more Hiring Ben G Landscaping was the single worst decision I've made, and I strongly urge you to avoid repeating my mistake. This company is dangerously unqualified, engages in gross malpractice, and possesses absolutely no knowledge of proper grading practices. We entrusted Ben G Landscaping with grading work at our new construction home, and they did exactly the opposite of what professional grading should accomplish. Instead of diverting water away from our house, Ben G Landscaping directed water towards it, resulting in severe flooding, extensive water damage, and costly repairs. This catastrophic negligence has cost us years of headaches, stress, and substantial financial losses to investigate and remedy. Independent evaluations by licensed professionals conclusively demonstrated that Ben G Landscaping did not follow the original grading plan at all. When confronted with their blatant errors and shown clear evidence by a new surveyor, Ben G Landscaping refused to acknowledge their mistakes or take any responsibility. We have suffered tremendously due to their incompetence, and now, to protect others, we are preparing legal action against Ben G Landscaping. If you are searching for grading services, avoid Ben G Landscaping at all costs. Hiring this business risks significant financial loss, damage to your property, and years of distress. There are countless qualified professionals--Ben G Landscaping is not one of them. Save yourself from unnecessary hardship and expense by looking elsewhere.

Several weeks ago, I decided it was time to have a few landscaping projects done. I called EIGHT…read morelandscapers. The first one I called was an acquaintance of mine. I scheduled with him twice and both times, he never showed up. I then checked his Yelp reviews and I'm kind of glad he didn't show up. Another landscaper came to look at my projects but never produced an estimate or returned my calls, one had a sky high price, another told me he couldn't start until October so I just cancelled that appointment, and the rest just never showed up for the estimate. Then I talked to Paul. Most of these landscapers I talked to were pretty gruff and had voices like they'd been gargling with gravel between cigarettes. Paul answered the phone and in his soft angelic voice, he asked about my projects and agreed to come out for an estimate the next day. My projects were a scattered mish-mosh because we'd neglected the exterior of our home. While our home was featured in Better Homes & Gardens back in the 1980's, I'm not a "yard guy," so I did basic lawn maintenance and let everything other than the grass go to hell. Paul followed me around my hillbilly yard and patiently listened to my ideas while offering a few of his own. By that evening, he emailed me an estimate with itemized prices so I could pick and choose the jobs that fit our budget for this year. I hired Paul and his crew to install a short retaining wall around our above ground pool, a small paver pad for the pool pump to sit on, and I also had them revitalize our kids' play area with landscaping paper and fresh mulch. Just yesterday, I got an estimate for weekly lawn care from another landscaper (Paul's lawn crew doesn't work in my area or else I would have hired him). I asked this new guy what he would have charged for the projects I had done by Paul. This other landscaper was $600 higher on the retaining wall and paver pad, but $200 less on the play area. So, considering the overall price, Paul was very competitive and I came out ahead based on the one sky-high estimate I got earlier and the estimate this new guy quoted after the project was already done. I'm extremely happy with Paul's pricing and for what I got, I would say his price was beyond fair. As for what I got... Regarding the quality of the workmanship, it's top notch. His crew came out and busted their butts all day long for two days. They worked through the rainy morning one day and had the job completed on time. In fact, the job was actually completed a week ahead of schedule because Paul had a cancellation and squeezed me in early. On top of all that, his crew did a little extra work for free. I had a couple bald spots in my yard and they saw me throwing some grass seed. I didn't even notice this until they'd left, but they used some of the extra grass they pulled up from the retaining wall area to fill in a couple divots and bald spots. The yard is looking great, the projects they completed look absolutely wonderful, and I'll never look for another landscaper again! Paul is now my landscaping go-to guy. As a Realtor, I don't often get clients looking for landscaping work, but he just replaced the guy I used to recommend (the one who blew me off twice). In the end, I'm an extremely satisfied customer! His price was great, his timing was perfect, his finished products were beyond my expectations, and I'm very happy knowing that I've got a very reliable landscaping professional that I will feel confident recommending to clients!
