Nick and his team came in and transformed the space into something amazing. The drainage issues have been completely solved, the new stone outcropping walls and patio are beautiful, and the plant choices have brightened up the entire space. I don't have any before photos, but the after photos speak for themselves. 5/5

Johnny was great. He answered the phone right away - every other company put me to voicemail (and…read morea week later!). He came soon after to survey the job for his estimate. He had a lot of great ideas and options for the job at hand - we really wish we had found him and his company earlier to contract the main job (installation of a new shed). He is really personable and it was really great talking to him. He involved my wife when she came out - and we kind of lost track of time as we were talking about some of his previous jobs, his work at his home, and even his cool truck. The job was done when he scheduled it, and done very well (better than the people who would later put up my shed). We had him put down a framed, gravel base and it turned out great. We highly recommend Johnny and Velasco Landscapes. We already are planning our next job!

We had our backyard patio redone by G & P. After meeting with Shawn to discuss the design, he had…read morea beautiful mockup made up for us before the work began. Scheduling was easy, they got right to work. When there were issues, Shawn was in touch immediately and the issues were resolved often before we even realized they existed. The patio and retaining wall are gorgeous! The steps out to the yard, and the stoop from the house are a HUGE improvement over what we had before, and all done for a very reasonable price, especially since we did shop around. Needless to say, we love our new backyard and hubby even says he now has room for more grills! We have no complaints; the workmanship, value, and communication were all outstanding.

After living in my new construction house, my wife and I decided that it was finally time to get a…read morebackyard patio. All we saw was a bare backyard with a lot of green grass with some weeds. We did have some "wants" on our list which included a natural gas firepit, natural gas line for grill, seating for ~6-8 people, and enough room for entertain with some food, drinks, and a nice place to relax. From the start to the finish, Grant and Power was completely different than the other companies. Other locations just met you outside, what you wanted, and how big. Then we got a quote. However, when I contacted Grant and Powers, they started out with an email with some essential information like their insurance, a pamphlet and other information to get us started. We talked about what we were looking and then waited for our appointment Our appointment was different. Instead of going outside and talking about size... Gene sat us down to talk to us. He wanted to know what we wanted, what we were looking for and what we wanted to spend. We told him about how we were going to use the space and what we wanted and gave him our budget. Afterwards we talked about modern trends and what designs are in/out, how we wanted to place everything. Then off he went with the rest of the team to start designing it after a small down payment. He asked about budget and we talked about how much it might cost, but of course, the final bill could vary depending on the design. A few weeks later, we had another appointment where he showed us the design and it was amazing. They really sat down and listened to what we wanted because it looked amazing. The budget was completely out of our range.. granted, we knew our budget was on the low side of things, but they were willing to work with us to make this affordable. Finally, our day arrived. We got a call the night before that they were arriving in the morning to get started. During the process, the team were good...i would give them a 4.5/5 for a few minor things.They did talk to us a few times but I wish we were updated better. They were good about protecting our lawn even though some areas did suffer. Luckily (For us and them), our backyard had nothing out there. It was just bare land with green-ish grass. From start to finish, they were done in a week. We waited an extra day for another group of guys to show up to set up the firepit and show us how to use it. They were in and out fairly quickly. In the end, we got a beautiful patio. One section to entertain/eat. The other area is for the firepit and grill. Due to the design, they both feel separate from each other. We did find some minor damages that the team did not let me know or Gene. But he is going out of his way to making it right and I appreciate it. Ive had some neighbors stop by to marvel at the patio. Overall, if I were to ever move away, I would go back to this company to design a beautiful space again. I would completely recommend this company if you are looking for the same.

Luckily, Michael with Ross and Jacks works in conjunction with Louis from Beautiful Stones and they were able to help me out. I had a very unsightly crack in my driveway.

If I could leave zero stars, I would. My wife and I reached…read moreout to Ross and Jack Landscaping for a straightforward spring clean-up and weekly mowing. What followed was two weeks of Mark, the president, trying to upsell us into a sweeping overhaul of our yard -- framing routine landscaping as urgent "must-dos" to get our house in "working order." In a group chat with my wife and me (which I'm happy to share), Mark pivoted from answering our questions about the quote to bragging about being a "rich guy," lecturing us on wealth, and suggesting we take out a loan to fund more landscaping work with him. That is not a quote I'm paraphrasing for effect -- that is what the president of this company put in writing to a young couple who asked him to mow their lawn. The breaking point: Mark insisted it was mandatory that we let him rip out every bush along the back of our house. When my wife politely asked whether she could try to save them herself this spring and have that line removed from the quote, his response was an attitude shift followed by "I quit" -- at 10 p.m., the night before our $3,000 spring clean-up was scheduled to begin. He has not responded since. I'm a small business owner myself and I do not enjoy writing this. But if you are a homeowner in Elmhurst looking for a landscaper, you deserve to know how this company treats paying customers before you waste your time. Look elsewhere.

They never contacted me for a long while so I followed up cant remember if direct email or call but either way never talked to anyone and they just ignored me again. Probably too small a job. Sad part is I was using this as a litmus test to see if I wanted to use them for putting in new lawn, become my regular guys, etc. A simple response of job too small for us during this busy time or similar is too much to ask when your site asks for solicitation? Oh well if you refuse to respond at all you get this review and lose potential for a new customer. sry not sry.

The work itself was fine albeit about 2-3 weeks later than promised. . However, the crew first failed to trim more than half of the bushes agreed to be trimmed. They came back and still needed multiple redirections and reminders to complete the trimming fully. The final issue involved putting preen and mulch over existing weeds. Preen does not kill existing weeds only prevents others from growing. I was promised by Marco that if they are an issue then he would come back and spray them. Ok. He says he's coming....he never comes. This is a skeleton crew and unless you are a large job, don't expect great things even when you are reassured multiple times. Empty promises.
