Added stone flowerbeds and dirt to our previously sad looking city parkway. Quote was very reasonable and work was even better than I had expected. Was always quick to respond. Thanks again!! read more

This guy doesn't follow up. Sent messages, had a phone conversation, and planned a day to meet. He failed to show and has failed to communicate since that time. I won't twist your arm to take my money when there plenty of other businesses to choose from. On to the next one! read more

Edgar came out and gave us a quote to replace the plants in our front yard, put in some mulch and fix some sod where our dog had been digging. His price was great and he finished the whole job in about 7 days. Highly recommend his services! read more

Brad is a nice guy but, unfortunately, he planted the wrong color hydrangea trees in our yard and now I cannot get a hold of him. We had the trees planted in November so we didn't know they were actually white when they were supposed to be pink. Overall he did a good job but I have to give him 3 stars because he planted the wrong color trees and now won't get back to me. Edit: Edgar reached out and was very receptive to our concerns. read more

Brad and his crew are amazing! So personable and they take such pride in their work. They worked in non ideal 90 degree conditions. My new yard is absolutely beautiful! Brad would call me every night to check in with me to see how I liked results each day. Truly a gem to work with so use Brad and his team for your new yard!!! read more

The Landscaper Guy - Amazing!!!! - Landscaping Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

Brad and his team did an amazing job installing new sod in our front and backyard. He was very reasonably priced and patiently answered all my many questions. Would definitely recommend and hire again. read more

The Landscaper Guy Edgar came to our house today with a quote for our property and a few hours later his 2 brothers Efran and Luther did their "cleanup" for our 2 properties and all my husband and I can is INCREDIBLE. We plan on having this company take care of our landscaping needs from now on. We give Landscaper Guy the highest recommendations. read more

We had a solid experience working with Brad. Unlike other reviews, he was extremely responsive and timely. We engaged Brad last fall/winter of 2017 as we were determined which landscape firm we were going to go with. Brad was one of the first to come out, and his quote was most reasonable. The only thing you won't get with Brads company is a digital design. He will manually draw a design on paper, which I could accept given that his costs all in were about 20% less than competitors. One of things I really liked about Brad, was his recommendations. I had an idea of what I wanted, but he tied it all together with what would work best in the spots we were filling taking in consideration sunlight, accessibility from dogs, etc. So the upfront experience was great, now on to the actual work and implementation. Brad was really transparent about changes that needed to be made given the crazy spring (or lack there of) that Chicago experienced this year. It wasn't always stuff I wanted to hear, but I appreciated his communication effort. The quality and workmanship were great, and Brad helped coordinate with irrigation. His crew was pleasant to have around and our place turned out fantastic. Would strongly recommend the Landscaper Guy. For reference, we had the following services: Landscape installation (trees, bushes, shrubs, mulch, beds, grass seed) Irrigation coordination Outdoor lighting installation (we purchased the lights from Home Depot) Planter creation for under our front patio next to the front door read more

This is literally the first review I have ever left on Yelp. I am compelled to do so because Brad, The Landscape Guy was the most competent service provider with whom I have done business. We just moved into a rehabbed home so our yard was a disaster and we were having a birthday party at my house in a week. It turned out the pallet of sod that was delivered from a different company was "scorched" during an unusual heat wave. This was not known at the time so Brad and his crew laid the sod. I, not knowing any better, saw some brownish portions but thought with some water it would "green up". I was wrong. I contacted Brad and he thought it was odd. He came out to take a look and assured me, this was not ok. Brad went to bat for me. He contacted the sod company and worked it out with them where they provided an entire new pallet for free. Not only that but Brad, although this was no problem of his own, agreed to lay all the new sod for free. This was music to our ears considering we had only a few days before our party. Brad was a down-to-earth, straight-shooter. His service is second to none and I can't recommend him more highly. Use Brad, The Landscaper Guy for all your landscaping needs. read more

Working with Brad was a great experience. He designed us a lovely update to our front and backyards, including a large patio space, at what I consider a fair price. Brad consistently showed up on time and with the equipment and crew required, even on days when I couldn't be there to supervise the installation. I trusted him to do a good job and he really did. read more

We use this company for our residential and rental properties. They do a great job of mowing and keeping the grass looking great. They also provide Spring and Fall cleanups which takes one less thing off my plate. Whenever I need help with a landscaping project they are there and make it look beautiful. read more

We were excited about hiring this small company as the owner seemed genuine and on the up and up, unfortunately we ended up quite disappointed and felt a bit suckered. They were overpriced first and foremost for the small amount of work that was done. And we blame ourselves for that one. More importantly the quality of the work left much to be desired. We had river rocks laid down that were to slope away from the house on one side of our house. They are barely sloped and no plastic (or any) border was laid to keep the rocks on our property, something we now have to do ourselves in the Spring. We had two (2) peonies bushes dug up and moved, and four (4) rose bushes removed and we were charged $1,123.00. Our next door neighbor used a different Landscaping company and he had his entire back yard soded with new grass and an immense Evergreen tree dug up and removed, AND had rocks also placed on one side of his house and graded, and he said he only total $800 just last year. The worst part is that the peonies that were moved were poorly replanted. All the roots were exposed--which means we had to "dig" them up and replant them deeper. After the work was done we heard nothing from this guy, except to ask for the remainder of the money. Never asked if we were satisfied or how we thought the "work" looked. Won't be using this company anymore. FOLLOWUP: Spring 2017. These guys didn't dig up the rosebushes fully as we are now getting baby rose bush stems popping up from the ground where they once were. So they obviously left the roots. We hired them to fully remove the rose bushes, not to just take the visible parts out. We could've done that ourselves. Save yourself the money and time and find a reputable company. read more

As you will see in an earlier review, I had asked for a fall cleanup from The Landscaper Guy. They just didn't show up and when I wrote about it on Yelp, they reached out, apologized, then offered a discount to complete the work and rectify the situation. I felt they had made up for the issue, thought they did decent work and revised my review. Fast forward about 4 months, I asked for some landscaping work. We made an appointment 2 weeks in advance. The day before, I get a voicemail cancelling the appointment with no follow-up on a new appointment (I even called them back). I love supporting small, local businesses but simply can't if they are unreliable. I can't depend on these guys and will no longer be doing business with them. read more

After working with Brad to find a time for us to meet over a few weeks, he never showed up for our scheduled appointment and I never heard from anyone. read more

The Landscaper Guy came by my home to evaluate the work that needed to be done. He then told me that he would get back to me will a quote and just completed ghosted me. This is extremely unprofessional. If you are unable to do the work simply say that instead of having me call you several times and leaving messages with no response. Don't bother calling "Edgar" find someone else. read more

Brad and his team are amazing! From the first consultation through to the finished product, the process could not have run more smoothly. Brad worked within our budget to create a beautiful backyard in a very short period of time! He listened to our concerns and ideas, then made them happen. The Landscaper Guy and his team could not have been more prompt, helpful, and knowledgeable, from start to finish. He even provides aftercare instructions so that we know how to keep our yard looking as good as it did the day that he completed it. I'd highly recommend him and his business! read more

Voice mail box full. I have cash to toss around on an urgent project that needs done asap. If ya own a business and using a personal phone with a full voice mail box. You lost business I just kept scrolling down the list. read more

The landscaper guy couldn't have been better! Brad the owner was super helpful from our first consultation all the way through the installation of the sod and ever after when he's called to help us understand how to care for it. He and his company did a great job installing sod in our yard at an extremely reasonable price. I would highly recommend him and look forward to him helping us with our front yard in the spring. read more

Brad (the "Landscaper Guy") was excellent. The yard looks beautiful and he is great to work with. He showed up when he said he would and finished when he said he would. The site was cleaned up nicely and I now have a pristine back yard. He was very cooperative with our ideas and informed us about the needs of various plants and bushes. He executed our plan beautifully and he has integrity! read more

I called the company and got a prompt reply, Brad came over to look the project over. I received and estimate promptly and I awarded the bid to Brad. We set a date for the work to begin, material & supplies were brought to the site and worked commenced. The crew did a great job. Prompt, polite, friendly, trustworthy. I recommend The Landscape Guy and most likely will use them again when necessary. read more

Left voicemail and sent two texts per the voicemail instructions. Did not get a response for estimate request

Brad and his team did an excellent job and I can't be happier. I shopped around and got many quotes for finishing my backyard with some pavers, leveling off the pitch and creating some steppers down the side of my garage. Brad's over communication helped a lot with some of our adjustments due to weather. His team went above and beyond and continue to help troubleshoot some water issues I have coming from my alley. If you're looking for a landscaper that knows his stuff, easy to work with and transparent Brad and the Landscaper Guy is for you. read more

I would highly recommend Brad. He was very responsive and kept in touch throughout the process. His work was excellent and exactly what was included in the proposal. He had great suggestions and was able to keep costs within a budget. He removed costs from the final bill for unused materials that I wouldn't have noticed. Definitely call Brad for landscaping needs. read more

Brad did an excellent job! He was extremely responsive and professional. He was even able to complete all the work quickly for an event we were having at our house. I know nothing about landscaping and Brad was able to explain everything to me and me show me pictures to better visualize the work. Brad and his staff were extremely hard working and very professional. The work is amazing and our house looks gorgeous. I highly recommend The Landscaper Guy! read more

Brad was great to work with - very responsive via phone and email. We had 6 large outdoor planters done. He had ideas on what would work best and be easy to care for and he was able to complete the work in our short timeline. read more

The landscaper guy provided great service at a reasonable price and was very flexible to work with. He took the time to listen to all of my concerns (two young dogs) and came up with a great plan. My yard looks better than I thought was possible! Overall great experience and it was nice to find a very knowledgable landscaper that wasn't pushy and was willing to work with a small budget. read more

What can I say Brad and his crew did an excellent job. Brad is pleasant to work with. I am very pleased with his work and he delivered what was promised. I will definitely use him again for other projects. read more

Brad The Landscaper Guy and his team did an amazing job. He did a massive cleanup of our yard which I had woefully neglected for over a year and made it look great again. Weed were pulled, trees were trimmed, plants were relocated, mulch, gravel and fertilizer were laid, etc. The price was reasonable and the work was completed on time. Brad communicates well and give suggestions when needed. I definitely plan to use him again in the spring and for installing a patio and some additional landscape design. So nice to find an excellent small business in the city. A+ read more

I contacted numerous landscaping companies to address a property we own on 2 lots in the city that has been sorely neglected for many years. It was insane, some never bothered showing up at all, some came but never sent a quote, other's wanted some insane amount of money for the job. The prices were literally $3000 apart for the same work. We had an apartment for rent in the building and needed to clean up the front quickly to give it "curb appeal". It also needed to be very low maintenance as it's a rental property. After meeting Brad I knew he completely understood what we were looking for. He gave us a proposal in about 2 days that was beyond reasonable and the work was done within 2 weeks. We could not be any happier (nor could our neighbors)! It brought tears to my eyes how beautiful it looks. I found him beyond personable, very prompt and extremely knowledgable about placing vegetation that is compatible with the landscape as well as the weather here in Chicago. We are very happy with Brad! read more
