Home Services reviews in Chicago, Illinois

Our patio looks great thanks to the advice and care provided by Kemora Landscapes! Marisa had the vision to create thoughtful plans for our outdoor space. The crew was done in the time promised. The final product exceeded our expectations!

I've contracted Kemora for several landscaping jobs: they designed and installed the hardscape and plants in my front yard; they planted bulbs in my parkway and replaced dead grass with fresh sod; they designed and installed landscape lighting around my front yard; and they design and install a gorgeous annual container for our front stoop.

All of their work has been professionally and beautifully done. Their annual containers are especially lovely -- they are designed for our shady stoop in mind and they always look amazing. I also use Kemora for annual clean ups, and they leave my landscape looking brand new. Would definitely recommend them!

The customer service you will receive at Kemora goes above and beyond most landscape companies, offering professional designs that enhance your outdoor home while also solving utilitarian issues to ensure a landscape that not only looks great but works.

KEMORA LANDSCAPE

Our rooftop deck was recently completed by Kemora Landscapes and we are very pleased. Marisa Gora made several visits to discuss our ideas for the layout and she was very patient with us as our plans changed over time. Marisa offered helpful suggestions, some which were not only practical but cost saving. Once the work started it was completed in 12 working days, allowing for a few rain delays. The crew, a great group, did a wonderful job.

Tom C, the Kemora Landscape carpenter, designed and built a beautiful, unique pergola that fits our space perfectly. Tom was great to work with, explaining details as he went along.

The entire crew was very Covid 19 aware and took every precaution which we really appreciated; they were always reliably on time; if something changed in the schedule or with material delivery we were always notified in a timely manner; the crew cleaned up every evening before leaving and when the job was complete they made sure that everything was in order, excess material and scrap removed, etc.

We would highly recommend Kemora Landscape.

Kemora Landscapes does a beautiful job maintaining my yard. They cut the grass, edge all the beds beautifully and clean up all of the clippings. They are very responsive, sending an email if a rain day prohibits them from coming, and they always let us know when they will arrive instead. Very happy with their service.

We have worked with Kemora in a number of different ways. Initially we were introduced to them b/c they provided the landscaping for our new home. We enjoyed working with Marisa on that process. We then hired Kemora to handle the mowing and maintenance of our front and side "yards" (small!). I then started asking Faith to provide seasonal flowers for our front steps and back patio area. She does very beautiful work. And finally, we just hired Kemora's snow removal folks to help us this winter. Safe it to say, we're very happy with this company and would recommend them to anyone. My only reason for giving not giving them 5 stars is because they're on the pricey side. But I'd rather pay their rates and have peace of mind that all will look beautiful as opposed to cutting corners.

Be sure you ask and double check all questions before work is completed and in writing. The work was just okay, but less than one year later looking at getting a 15K+ job updated as the beams they selected are already splitting.

Kemora designed a beautiful plan for my front yard that replaced all of the existing grass with flowering bushes and perennials. They also installed a flagstone patio which ties everything together.

I loved that the owner asked for and listened to my input using all of the plants I had as well as introducing a variety of new plants to the design.

The whole crew was very professional and easy to work with. This was a great experience. I smile every time I’m in the front yard. It’s a more welcoming space. We are continually complimented on the design and quality of the work.

Thank you Kemora Landscapes!

We had a really great experience working with Gary on a patio design and installation, garden walls, a small fence and bed prep. He gave us a lot of really good guidance on every aspect of the projects and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The timeline from design to installation was also really quick. Thanks Gary and Kemora! Look forward to working with you again.

We had a new patio, walkway, and sod laid, and we could not be happier with the service we received. The crew finished everything within a matter of days and even came back a second time to make sure that we had enough sand between the pavers. Marisa also gave us a credit when an issue came up, even though the issue was not really the fault of the crew. I would not hesitate to work with them again.

Kemora recently redid the pavers in our backyard. We worked with Gary and he was punctual, professional, and very responsive. They were able to quickly come out and provide a quote that was cheaper than the other places we requested quotes from. Gary was also the most responsive person we spoke to. The team that came to do the work did a great job. We are very happy with the process and the final product. I would absolutely recommend Kemora to anyone.

Kemora Landscapes designed and installed the new landscaping in front of our bungalow. They did a great job of seeing what we were picturing and executing it. They were flexible with timing, and the price was on par with the work they did. We plan on using them if/when we redo the backyard.

I am way overdue with this review. After about 2 years and numerous contractors to come look at building out my Rooftop deck I hired Kemora and I am glad I did. They were knowledgeable regarding codes and building structures and used this knowledge to help build our dream deck. I have to give a shout out to Marisa, Tyler, Tom, Will, Nick, and Manuel who did a great job and were a pleasure to work with. highly recommend.

Kemora Landscapes was the primary contractor to lead the renovation of our front steps. This project took 3.5 weeks. It included jackhammering out a lot of concrete, readying the site to erect two shoulder walls, building the walls, placing the limestone caps and building the new stairs using engineered wood. Kemora also supplied and installed some new shrubs and perennials. The stucco work was done by a separate contractor. Both companies worked hand in hand. We are very pleased with the outcome. Our home has been transformed. The owner and crew are the utmost professionals. Highly recommend.

Our experience with Kemora Landscapes was so pleasant that it made me reconsider every other 5 Star review I've ever left for any other service provider or organization. Marisa and the team at Kemora were hyper-professional, very quick to reply to calls and emails with thoughtful responses, they said they would do a thing...and then they did it as they stated they would. On time, on budget, exactly ZERO drama and I never had to follow up with them for something a second time. I sincerely wish I'd found Kemora sooner in the process of turning our lot into a side-yard, rather than contacting each vendor separately myself.

Even amongst their peers/competition, Kemora stood out. In preparing for our project, I contacted 5 landscaping and gardening companies...and Kemora's value was apparent from the very first meeting. They respected our budget and requirements and helped us achieve the best possible result for the money spent, and they never pushed an upsell of any kind.

If you have a landscaping or gardening project, please give Kemora Landscapes a call. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

DO NOT use this company. I was given a quote and then instructed to pay 50% of the balance before they would commit to the job. I did not pay the 50%, but their crew still showed up and kept ringing my doorbell and calling my mobile even though I informed the crew that I was on a conference call, did not pay the deposit, and was not informed of their date or arrival. I agreed for them to proceed with the job just to get them to stop disrupting my work call. They installed 3 hydrangeas that are so small and already dying, seeded the grass that is growing nothing but weeds and dandelions, and they failed to do any spring clean-up even though it was on the invoice and I emailed to ask the crew to return for spring clean-up with NO response from Kemora. I now need to hire another company to redo the grass, spring clean-up, and replant actual hydrangeas that will bloom this season.

From start to finish Kemora has been a dream to work with. The patio is stunning and the crew were amazing. The installation was perfection and we are so grateful for their hard work and attention to detail. Would recommend them to anyone!!! Thank you!!!!

Dan was great and I would recommend his service to anyone!
