Landscapers near Hawthorn Woods

“I haven't used their services but would like to share an experience.

This morning (7/18/25) my husband, infant daughter and I were walking along the Fox River paved trail near the water treatment center in Elgin, which Apex must take care of since their trailer was parked there. We passed 2 different employees on mowers. As soon as they saw us coming, they cut off the mowers, and turned the throttle down until we passed. I was so impressed by these acts of kindness I felt I had to write a positive review.

I'm not sure if this is training, or wonderful employees, but I really appreciate that they cared about our ears, and not throwing debris with the mowers.“

“Extremely happy with how everything turned out working with countryside landscapes! Very easy to work with and very fair pricing. Mike and his team built some retaining walls, planted a few plants, mulching and a spring cleanup. Communication was prompt and simple. Will definitely be contacting them for any Landscaping in the future.“

“I’m so thankful for the recommendations by Next Door and Google for this landscaper. There are so many landscaping companies out there that it’s hard to choose which one to go with. These guys are amazing. Lou the owner took my call, gave me an instant quote by just looking at photos of my project, and booked me in for the following day. Had a couple questions to ensure he would give me what I was looking for and then some. The crew that came worked tirelessly and meticulously and cleaned up everything after. You could not even tell they were there other than the amazing side path they created of course. I got everything I wanted, things that I hadn’t even considered before, at a price I didn’t even have to think twice about. Incredible value, customer service and competence with this company.“

“Great experience and communications during proposal phase (goes a long way these days!) The actual day of service went smoothly too. The team proactively pulled me aside to check/verify each part looked good and complete to my expectations prior to finishing up. They did a great job with clean up as well. Overall, really would recommend!“

“Crew navigated equipment skillfully around extensive plantings with minimal contact. Thorough removal of dead limbs and shaping of remaining branches. Cleanup was attentive and the request to leave chipped branches/mulch was met with courteous accommodation.“

“Turf Care is a well run company. Their employees stay connected to the customer and are very responsive with any concerns. That said, our lawn is looking fabulous! I definitely believe they treat each lawn uniquely and react to it accordingly. I love that they analyze it's presentation after each visit and advise any changes based on that.“

“We live in the far western suburbs of Chicago. Though we have a beautiful new home, the soil the builder built on top of was terrible... mostly clay and gravel with little for plants and trees to thrive on. Typical, right? Enter Sarah Teen and her team at SavATree. After a full season of working together our plant and tree health is finally at the level it should have been at years ago. Why? Coaching. Knowledge. Attention to detail. Excellent scheduled service. Great staff of seriously cool experts... We are very happy. Thank you, Sarah, for all that your team has done. Looking forward to many, many seasons together!“

“Tom Bolas did a great job during our pond deletion project. We may have had a couple hurdles to jump before we actually signed renovation proposal and Tom was very professional throughout entire process.
JMA Crew was very respectful and conscientious throughout entire project also. I would recommend at least talking to JMA and getting a quote and ideas for your project.“

“5 star experience and a 5 star product should only result in a 5 star rating. Mike and his team were fantastic to work with. Mike was very interactive and informative from proposal to inception of the project. We cannot recommend him and his team highly enough.“

“Rafael Duran and his crew are exceptional! They are prompt, efficient, reasonably priced, and always go above and beyond! They truly care about the work they do and their customers! I have used them in the past, I used them in the present, and I will only use them in the future! I am beyond happy with all of the work they have done! Rafael is a very kind, hard-working, and caring person and I appreciate him very much!“

“I had an outstanding experience working with the Platinum team — Jeff, Jeremy, Scott, and Sebastian were all wonderful from start to finish. From the very beginning, Jeff guided me through patio design, materials, and project planning. He came up with a perfect layout during our first meeting, and I received visuals and a proposal the same day. The team handled the permitting process seamlessly and met with me again to finalize materials, even making a few last-minute adjustments I requested.
Once construction began, Jeremy kept me informed every step of the way with clear, consistent communication. Sebastian and his crew did excellent work and shared daily updates, so I always knew what was happening. The entire process was completely stress-free, and this group of professionals made it a truly enjoyable experience.
I highly recommend Platinum Patio and Pavers to anyone considering a patio or deck project.“

“The Turfcare team kept our lawn looking great every summer. Great service from their team and we’d continue with them but we are moving out of state.
Thanks you guys! Chris K“

“I have been using Rene & Sons for years. They work so hard, always do a great job, are consistent and on time. I highly recommended!“

“Russ helped us turn a backyard that we just put up with into an oasis that our family will get to enjoy for years. From the initial outreach all the way till the final walk-thru - Russ was there to help us every step along the way. His rates were very competitive and fair and his crew was top notch! We will definitely being using Russ and team again in the future!“

“I was quite pleased with the quality of the mulch and the customer service from The Mulch Center. I am currently taking care of my mom in another state, and I’m only able to work at my house on select days. When I called The Mulch Center, I told them I would need the ten yards of premium mulch dropped after a specific time (to avoid my tenants), and on the exact day I specified, in order for me to put it to use. The Much Center managed everything very smoothly. They noted on my invoice for the driver to not call me on the day of delivery (because I would be on a flight), and the driver dropped the mulch in the exact place requested. There was no dumping near the street or other nonsense. Most importantly - the mulch was excellent, competitively priced, and easy to order. I called The Mulch Center office - and was able to speak with someone who managed my order and everything I required as far as the delivery in a single call. Get your mulch from The Mulch Center“

“Matt was an extreme pleasure to work with and was great during the entire process; from conceptual design through to permitting and final installation. Our site presented an unique set of circumstances whereby our home's corner lot contained an interior side yard with direct exposure to the street. We thus desired an outdoor patio (sitting and firepit area) whose landscape design would privatize our little oasis. Working in the residential architectural industry myself, I applaud Matt's design prowess, attention to detail, and his willingness to work with our evolving tastes.“

“I had a very positive experience working with Poul's on my back and side yard landscaping and hardscaping. Andrew, my rep, was a great communicator, paying attention to details. Price was reasonable and I just love my new butterfly garden and patio area. Instructions on how to care for the plants was comprehensive. Poul's is coming back to prep my new trees (4 large evergreen, 2 maple) for winter. I was so happy with the results that I went ahead with a maintenance program as well, plus my next door neighbor also used them and is also happy with the results!“

“I've employed McGinty on several occasions on two properties over the past several years, both removals and maintenance, and never been disappointed. On time, efficient and never any problems. Highly recommend.“

“Got recommended through a friend who was satisfied. Needed old pavers removed and replaced with new ones, soil and seeding, and trimming. Communication about pricing and when the work will be done was clear. Job was done in a timely manner and was given expert insight on how to make my front lawn look great. Very happy and satisfied. Definitely recommend and will use the seevice again!!“

“We hired A.M. Woodland to perform several hardscape projects at our home:
1) Replace our asphalt driveway; repair, power wash, and re-sand our sunken granite cobble driveway borders and aprons;
2) Rebuild our front porch bluestone stoop;
3) Power wash and re-sand our bluestone patio.
We are extremely pleased with both the exemplary results achieved and all aspects of the execution of their work. Andy Migacz, CEO, and Steve Petraglia, Project Manager, and his work crew truly understand how to put the customer first - they were responsive, professional, and did an overall outstanding job. We highly recommend A.M. Woodland for anyone looking for hardscape services. We intend to partner with Andy on all of our future hardscape projects.“

“It’s rare to see such professionalism and efficiency in home services today, but Gabriel’s Landscaping & Tree Services truly impressed us. We’ve done many updates to our home and landscaping over the years, but this was by far the most seamless and impressive experience we’ve had.

From the very first contact, their professionalism was evident. They responded quickly, stayed in communication, sent a clear quote and schedule, arrived exactly on time, and even notified us when they were on the way. The team worked fast, safely, and efficiently — and the cleanup afterward was spotless.

I can’t express enough how happy and satisfied we are with their work. If you need any tree removal or landscaping services, call them now — you won’t regret it! Thank you to Tristan and his wonderful crew members.“

“Working with Aspen Landscapes was so easy. The men were professional and worked so very hard providing me with a beautiful patio which perfectly enhances the back side of my house. The lights in the steps add a magical touch at dusk and into the evening. The eye for design Aspen incorporated into the patio makes the addition of the pergola a perfect fit.

I highly recommend Aspen Landscapes for any exterior work for your home. Pricing is more than fair and the work ethic you will receive is outstanding! Thank you, Aspen Landscapes!! I am over the top thrilled!!!“

“Martin and his team did an AMAZING job on my house along with my Brother in laws house. Martin was quick to give us an estimate on what we needed and the price was very fair compared to others. He had built me a pad for our shed and had a great idea to wrap it with dirt so my wife can plant flowers around the shed. He also build us a pad I needed and also another pad for my brother in laws house. Everything is straight as an arrow and level. Couldn't be happier with his work and attention to detail!! Were actually using him again to rip out our existing concrete patio and to lay pavers down with awesome ideas he had.I highly recommend Martin and his team for any hardscape/Landscape!! Great workmanship, has the right equipment and very professional!Crystal Lake, IL“

“We have hired United Landscape Artists repeatedly for a variety of projects over the years, from designing and implementing our backyard “retreat” (including small and large plants and hard scape patio) to most recently a total yard clean up - trimming, weeding, edging, and mulching. Nick and his crew are top notch with attention to detail and a strong work ethic. They stand behind their work and are worth every penny. Do yourself a favor and call them for your next landscaping or hard scaping project!!“

“Garrett and his team did a wonderful job with constructing my patio. I highly recommend this business. I was very impressed with their design services. Garrett suggested some modifications to my original ideas which made the project much better and more beautiful. Garrett has a real sense of artistry when it comes to design. The workers were polite and put in many long hours. Garrett was very responsive via email or text. He even made some impromptu trips over to explain certain details to me. Thank you for the great work!“

“Shane Stanley and his crew from Stanley Landscapes did an amazing job of repairing and rejuvenating our old deteriorated patio and pool deck.
The two other companies we had come out for quotes wanted to rip it all out and replace it with new pavers, quoting costs from $40,000 to $50,000. Both stating they couldn’t use the same pavers we had.
Shane was able to work with what we have, making it look new for under $8,000.
We highly recommend Stanley Landscapes, they provide quality work at a fair price. We couldn’t be happier, it’s beautiful!!!“
