Landscaping reviews in Belleville, Illinois

This was my third landscaping job from Rakers and it was perfect as usual! He was done in 2 and a half days. He pulled out huge bushes, hand-turned the soil so I wouldn't have machinery ruts in my yard, relocated plants, hauled off a small castle's worth of heavy stone, cut back spent plants, and put in new landscape rocks. It looks wonderful! He is on time...Always!

I was very please with Rakers' professionalism, timeliness, and communication. We had to schedule around weather, and they did a great job of keeping me informed and waiting for the right time to do the work properly instead of rushing the job. I recommend them.

Brian did a fantastic job burying my downspouts. Quality and timely service. He was always available to answer any questions I had. Will be using him for future projects that we have planned this summer.
10/10 recommend

Great experience with Marlo and Brian, they were responsive, knowledgeable and timely. We were in needed of a total yard clean up, bush and plant removal with beds turned back to grass. Additionally grading and seeding need to repair damaged lawn. I’m looking forward to Phase 2 next spring for a revamp of front yard/landscaping.

Brian Rakers (yes that is really his last name) came to the rescue, clearing the way for my fence project to begin. He removed brush, weeds, trees and the biggest stump you've ever seen!
Brian was on time, clear with his pricing and polite and professional dealing with my neighbors. Highly recommend!

Always a great experience. Marlo is very good about consulting. She know her plants. Brian can really execute. He builds a great retaining wall. A very honest and hardworking couple.

Brian and Marlo did an amazing job transforming our yard into something we love again! Marlo was always there to answer any of our questions/concerns right away. Every detail we were worried about or wanted was taken care of and Brian did a great job of getting everything done quickly. It looks absolutely beautiful; I cannot recommend them enough.

I called & the company responded almost immediately. They did an excellent job. Highly recommended.

Brian and Marlo have taken care of our home yard for years. He also has been willing to clear snow and ice from the front of a nonprofit organization I’m associated with. They always do the job completely. Great to work with. Thanks for all you do for us.

Working with Raker's landscaping has been an exceptional experience. They are super responsive, listen to what you want, make great suggestions and it's obvious they take pride in what they do. Thanks again Marlo and Brian, our small project turned out amazing, and working with you both was truly a pleasure. We will definitely contact you on any future projects we may have.

We highly recommend Rakers! We were pleased with the plan they developed for our landscaping problem and with the final result. The work was done in a timely and professional manner.

Friendly, knowledgable, and hardworking service. Always a ready smile and pleasent attitude.

Marlo and Brian were awesome from the start to the finish! Marlo listened to what I liked and designed exactly what I had pictured for my front yard. They both showed up and finished my project in a timely manner. Most importantly Marlo was very honest during my initial design and that is sometimes hard to find. I recommend them 100%

We recently had the pleasure of working with Rakers Landscaping, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and exceeded my expectations.

Brian’s hard work, attention to detail, and commitment to clean-up truly set him apart. Every aspect of the project was handled with precision, ensuring that the final product was not only beautiful but also well-maintained. His dedication to quality craftsmanship was evident in every step.

Additionally, Brian was always on time and maintained excellent communication throughout the process. I never had to wonder about the next steps or worry about delays—everything was handled efficiently and with transparency. Marlo took the time to meet with us at a nursery to select plants and layout her design which helped us see the final design.

If you're looking for a landscaping company that delivers top-notch service, reliability, and exceptional results, I highly recommend Rakers Landscaping. They truly bring visions to life!

Brian met with me and reviewed the project. He provided details and an estimate followed by a simple contract with a agreed on price. He showed up on time and completed the project to my expectations. Additionally, this is the second time I utilized his talents and both projects were awesome additions to my home’s appeal. I will use him again if the opportunity arises. Marlo, his wife works behind the scenes but was instrumental in supporting both projects.

Brian did a fantastic job cleaning my driveway after the recent snow. He was very courteous and professional. He would be my first call for snow removal or landscaping.

Absolutely thrilled with my landscaping! The work was done beautifully and right on schedule. Brian and Marlo are not only talented but also incredibly sweet and adorable--such a joy to work with. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to add charm to their outdoor space!

Brian did an awesome job on my yard, I had about a foot of dirt that had to come off my yard and away from the house. He was very thorough and precise, he also graded the yard with ease. I now have a perfect front yard ready for landscaping which he is doing also. This guy does it all, I highly recommend him for any type landscaping. Thanks again Brian! Here are some before and after photos, more will follow as work continues

I chose Raker’s Landscaping LLC due to all of the excellent reviews, & I also prefer using smaller local companies. I had received two other bids previously, which were way too expensive for my budget. Those two bids included more costly work, that was not necessary to fix the problem. Brian and Marlo came to look at my yard. I explained the drainage & landscaping issues and then we discussed a few options. Brian’s solution was the correct one and most economical choice also, saving me $$. There was no trying to upsell me with a more costly project than necessary. Saving me money, did not mean cutting corners, as everything looks great! The job turned out to be more work, (buried rocks and bricks to deal with), but I did not receive any additional charges. Professional, kind, hardworking and honest-and I can’t thank Brian enough. Thank-you Brian & Marlo for your excellent communication, promptness, hard work & the great results!!

Top notch service. They provide prompt, quality service from start to finish. At the initial consultation with Brian, he made it clear that Rakers Landscaping was committed to understanding and meeting my needs. He provided great suggestions that were in line with my ideas. We are extremely pleased with the quality of work and customer service as they exceeded all of our expectations and were absolutely wonderful to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a professional landscaping job at a reasonable price.

Rakers Landscaping is first class! Marlo and Brian are exceptional and very professional. They were both very dedicated to our project from the start to finish. We have a completely new front yard and I could not be happier. In fact, we are calling this week to start the next project!
