The design added great value and enhanced our enjoyment of our property in ways we never anticipated. The entire Hursthouse team took great pride in their work and went to great lengths to make us very satisfied clients.”

“We have used Rolling Landscapes on a number of occassions - Each of those times we were very satisfied with the results. They are very helpful with designing our project. Great in assiting our current need and our needs for growing or adding onto the project at a later date.”

“My firm, Greenheart Buildings Inc. (d.b.a. Arrow-wood Timber Frame Homes), engaged Twig Landscape Design to develop a multi-phase design for a remodel in River Forest which is now underway. We were impressed by Michelle's ability to understand and represent our client's needs in her final design. We are looking forward to putting the landscaping in place, once the other roofing and siding aspects of the remodel have been competed. We highly recommend Twig Landscape Design.”

“We recently used M. Botanica to both design our backyard garden and provide spring plantings. To say that we are pleased with their work is a dramatic understatement. The backyard is simply amazing. Working with Marcelo and his expert landscape team was effortless and thoroughly enjoyable. His ideas for the project were innovative and original and the final result is an urban treasure. We cannot recommend them more highly.”

“My wife and I had built a house and asked Brian from Forest Landscaping for an estimate to sod our front and down the sides to the rear of the house, brick boarder around the house with 18in of stone between the house and boarder, seed and blanket the backyard, plant a bradford pear tree that he grew on his property, and plant 6 other bushes and plants. He listened to what we wanted made suggestions and made a rendition of what the project would look like finished with the house. The price for what we asked was very reasonable and we accepted. We scheduled a day to have the work completed. I left for work at 6 a.m. and arrived home at 4 p.m. the work was 100% completed and cleaned up. Very professional and very personable group of employees! We will use Forest Landscaping in the future to build us a retaining wall in our backyard. We look forward to working with them again!”

“I interviewed 5 landscape designers and settled on Lisa Creative Landscape because of her level of initial responsiveness and enthusiastic willingness to work with our small budget. She did an outstanding job! She came to our home, took pictures, measurements and provided us with an in-depth questionnaire in order to gauge our needs and design style. In less then a week, she sent us 3 amazing design options that took into account our current soft and hard scape, design style, budget, and needs. She is exceptionally talented, affordable, reliable and a great communicator. She is incredibly passionate about her work and it shows. You cannot get this level of landscape design at this price from anyone else in the Chicagoland area. Take my word for it.”

“John and the K&D crew re-landscaped 3 sides of our house. We are very pleased with the work they did. John's plans showed imagination & originality that we have not seen elsewhere. This was the first time that we had work done (our 8th residence over 40 years), that did not require us to oversee anything! The professionalism was astounding! If we were present, it was because we were interested in the process. And the only questions to address were changes regarding availability of plantings, etc. The K&D workers were courteous and neat. A pleasure to work with and our compliments to everyone at K&D!”

“Brian and his team have done some phenomenal work us; from the design to the day-to-day work to the communication of how everything has been going, we have truly been impressed. Our front yard had been neglected for some time and needed a LOT of work. As soon as we reached out to Awad Landscapes through their website, we received a response and set up a meeting for them to check out our yard. As soon as Brian arrived, it was clear that he was a landscaping authority. He quickly let us know of any issues we had inherited (grading issues, invasive bushes, etc.). He also began to give us some ideas on the types of things we could do to improve our curb appeal. In the design phase, we gave Brian a lot of leeway for creativity. The renderings he provided were absolutely beautiful; we had NO changes to the design. He nailed it! He also let us know of the things that we could and couldn't do with the budget that we had in mind. We felt that he really wanted to work with us and was always quick to respond. When it ultimately came down to turning the design into a reality, we were even more impressed by Brian and his team's work ethic. Brian's team was working late hours, even weekends, to get all of the work done for us. Upon seeing rain in the forecast one Sunday morning, a member of Brian's team came to get some work done and cover anything that could be damaged. After the rain had come through, he came back later that day to finish the job. Truly impressive work ethic and customer service. Of course, the work itself, which included hard and softscapes, came out beautifully; even better than we had imagined! Brian used quality products and upgraded our brick pavers. He helped us absorb some of the additional costs due to unforeseen conditions and set up sprinklers for us on timers to water our sod when we were away at work. He's also been making trips up to our house every so often just to see how things are going or to add mulch in different areas to improve the look of our yard. Brian and his team have truly been a pleasure to work with. We know that we can always keep his contact information handy in the event that we have any questions or more landscaping work and we've received numerous compliments on our yard ever since.”
