In the spring, JD and his team solved a major draiangae problem in our new homes' front and back yards. JD also beautifully designed new landscaping for both the front and back of our home, while even building a dog run for the pup! Once again, he was promot and responsive to all questions. We highly recommend JD and Green City Gardens!

A year later, two of the 7' evergreens are dead and 1/3 of the other plants are dead. Have reached out to JD via phone call/VM and text SEVEN times and he will not respond. VERY unprofessional and he has not honored the warranty he promised. Save your money and your energy and find someone else....

I reveived a text in the morning of the appointment asking if I could move the appointment to 5:00P. I could not. I texted back giving this guy an entire week of availability to reschedule and asked that he let me know. I never heard back. it's been a week and still no followup from this company. With a work ethic like that, I am thankful I did not persue anything with this company. "Don't spend a dime, if they ain't got the time." Scary to think of the terrible possibilities.

This lawn service has serviced my neighbors yard for years. My yard is connected to theirs and my…read moreyard is a mess every time they leave. They don't cut a straight line between the yards, they just use mine to turn around. They cut the neighbors yard shorter and in turn scalp my lawn. I have high spots due previously cut down trees by the city. The back yard is full of leaves or grass clippings depending on the time of year as they blow towards the fence in the backyard. The crews have been asked many times to stay on the neighbors side and to stop blowing stuff under the fence. They just left from doing their spring clean up and the yard has scalp marks and leaves. The final guy finished blowing my neighbors yard by sending it all in my direction.

This was not what I had in mind when I hired them to merely mow the lawn. Additionally, they came for a lawn treatment in March and applied grass seed the day before we were expecting snow... and guess what. No grass grew. We're on the hunt for a new lawnmowing company. Hopefully the next one doesn't intentionally destroy our plants. Edited to add: No solution was actually suggested in any of the emails other than the plants could be replaced if they ended up dying.

We undertook this project with a great deal of trepidation. Our 60-year old concrete driveway was…read morein sore need of replacement. We obtained several estimates and decided to go with a well-established contractor, Pavestone Brick Paving, based on their reputation and experience. (We decided against hiring landscapers who also installed pavers even though their quotes were somewhat lower.) We visited some paver driveways that Pavestone constructed in our village and were impressed with the quality of their work. We also were bolstered by a visit to their facility in Des Plaines where we met the office staff and viewed the construction equipment. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and pleasant. We worked with Sergio, and I was completely satisfied with the service that he provided. From his initial visit to our house, through the discussions of the quotation, and conversations during the ongoing work, he displayed a pleasant demeanor and maintained contact with us, by phone and email. I felt quite comfortable working with him. He made useful suggestions during the planning process, such as rerouting the lower section of our downspouts below ground to discharge into our yard. I was also pleased that he was able to replace an unneeded section of our old driveway with sod. He provided samples of paver stones to assist us in choosing the best fit for our house and even created computer-generated renderings, depicting our house and driveway with the selected pavers installed (see photo). The job began about a month after we signed the contract. The crew of 5 men, led by Hector, worked tirelessly over a period of 6.5 days, in heat and occasional (light) rain, leading to a very attractive outcome. Each worker knew exactly what to do, and the team did their job in concert like a well-oiled machine. (See the photos which depict the progress of the project, from start to finish.) We are quite pleased with the outcome; the result is an attractive driveway that has become the envy of my neighbors. I have received many compliments from them in the days following completion. In summary, Pavestone Brick Paving transformed the worn and aged look of our driveway and walkways into an aesthetically appealing complement to our house's facade. I give them my highest recommendation.

I normally don't write reviews unless a company does an exceptionally poor job. My belief is…read moresimple, when you pay someone a good amount of your hard earned money, the job should be done right. There are exceptions, though, and Lisa is definitely one of them. Obviously, Lisa and her team did a fantastic job with the landscaping. She presented me with three different design options, worked with me to stay within my budget, and then executed the project exactly as she explained she would. She even moved my project up on the schedule after I mentioned I was planning to sell my house soon, which I really appreciated. What really stood out, though, wasn't just the quality of the work, it was the communication. It was clear, transparent, and consistent before, during, and even after the project. That level of professionalism is surprisingly rare in the home improvement industry. I own a house that was built in 1887, and over the past eight years I've hired countless companies for projects including a new deck, porch, fencing, painting, paver installation, and just about everything else you can think of. One of the most frustrating parts of working with companies in this industry is the lack of organization and communication. They're usually quick to collect the deposit, but after that you're left constantly following up for project start dates, updates, and progress. Working with Lisa was the complete opposite. She was organized, proactive, and always kept me informed. It was honestly refreshing. If you want to roll the dice and deal with the same frustrations I experienced with two other landscaping companies before finding Lisa, go for it. But if you'd rather save yourself the time, stress, and uncertainty, do yourself a favor and call Lisa. I couldn't recommend her more.

Overall, we had a very positive experience working with Lisa and would recommend her for any landscaping needs in the city.
