Home Services reviews in Chicago, Illinois

City Landscape did a great job for us. Ed was very professional, with suggestions and solutions to our project of re-landscaping the front of our house in Morton Grove. The work crew was hard-working and pleasant. The finished project was beyond our expectations. We would recommend them without question.

After much research I chose Cityscape to build a patio in my small backyard. I worked with Brian Coogan, who was knowledgeable and efficient while helping me choose the best materials for my project. The project was completed in a few days during the second week of June. The workers were polite, hardworking and completed the work on time. When I had trouble with the initial sod installation surrounding my patio, Brian had workers return to replace it. I am very happy with my results, as my yard is the envy of my neighbors. The pricing was reasonable, and they will work with you to stay within your budget. I would definitely recommend them and would not hesitate to hire Cityscape again.

We're so grateful to Cityscape for all of their work on our front yard 2 years ago. They recommended fake grass (which we were not excited about initially), which turned out great -- and they were absolutely right that real grass would have died (we're too shaded). Also, the brick path along the side of our house is beautiful. We were so happy with the outdoor renovation and wish we contacted them sooner!

The Cityscape team were fantastic. I had no vision for the front yard and the team came out and designed a beautiful landscape sketch (very quickly, too!), recommended low-maintenance plants that worked in my yard, perfectly measured, all within the budget I gave them. They were SO easy super fast and responsive to work with. When it was time to do the yard, they showed up on time, finished the job quickly and the end result was just beautiful and even went the extra mile to help move some heavy slate stones for me and made them look beautiful! Excellent experience and highly recommend!

We had Cityscape out last November to help winterize our yard and install some river rock along the side of our house. Ed came out and explained everything very thoroughly and the work was able to be performed very quickly without us needing to be home.

We were very happy with the entire Cityscape experience and would certainly recommend them and use them for future landscaping needs.

Cityscape transformed a drab, awkward space into a beautiful patio. I get compliments often from strangers passing by. Their crew was professional and helpful. I would hire Cityscape again in a heartbeat.

I recently had a great experience with Cityscape. The front of my condo building was in desperate need of an overhaul and the team was super knowledgeable in helping us figure out exactly what would meet our needs. Definitely recommend Cityscape for their professionalism, attention to detail and flexibility.

We had a great experience working with Ed and the whole Cityscape crew! Our small backyard was overgrown and flooded every time it rained. Ed came up with the perfect plan to overhaul the layout plus add a new drainage system. We haven't had any water issues since and the yard looks amazing a year later. Would highly recommend!

Ed and his team were a pleasure to work with throughout our project. They provided great input into the planning process, worked with our schedule and executed the job to perfection. We'd use them again in a heartbeat.

The gentlemen that own and run this business are very professional, and their landscapers are true experts. I worked with Jon, and he was incredible -- thorough, thoughtful, patient, and a perfectionist. We had an issue with some of the artificial turf, and they have been diligent and patient in trying to resolve it with me. I would recommend their work (and their work ethic!) to anyone. First class.

Ed’s team was patient as we sorted through dimensions, and once we were on the schedule, they delivered nicely. Staff was courteous and worked diligently to complete within about 5 days. Before and after pics included.

Horrible experience with Cityscape Landscape. After trying to coordinate a time for Tim to come out and review the project he was able to come last week. We spent 30 minutes discussing the different options, mulch, rocks, lowering the border to make it more cost effective, turf etc. He assured me that he would provide two estimates within a weeks timeframe that I could submit to my HOA for approval. After Tim visited the property, I received an email from Kevin who I believe is the owner, and he asked me what he could do to win my business. We exchanged several emails discussing the situation and I asked him to please provide the estimates as soon as they were available. A week went by and I never heard anything from cityscape landscaping. I followed up and Kevin responded and said that they could not do the work within the budget I’d provided. I responded and said please send the estimate anyway I would like to submit it for approval to my HOA. He said he didn’t want to waste any more time and that it wasn’t worth giving me the quote. After spending 30 minutes with this company discussing different options and leaving with the hope that we could find a solution, to come back and not even be able to provide an estimate is incredibly shocking and disappointing. Do not waste your time. Go find a local landscaper/smaller company who knows what they’re doing, is equally as competent, and who is loyal and will deliver a great service and product to you

I've been using City Landscaping for the last few years to take care of my 2 terraces. They are good value for City of Chicago landscapers. Clean, courtesy and responsive. I love the summer oasis they created for me! Highly recommend

Was very pleased with Cityscape landscape. I worked with Ed, and he was very responsive, transparent and fair with pricing, and showed a genuine interest and care in producing a great product. The pictures speak for themselves. He was able to take my vision for my property and make it a reality. I can’t wait to work with them again on a future landscaping project.

Alex and his crew did a wonderful job on my small back deck and patio. Alex was kind and attentive, and even at the busiest time of the year, managed to move my project earlier onto his schedule when an unexpected opening occurred. His crew did outstanding, careful work and left the backyard neat and clean when they were done (which has been a struggle in the past -- I'm looking at you, fence company that destroyed my flower beds...). I highly recommend them!

We worked with Mary on our backyard project and really love the outcome. When a few of our hydrangeas weren’t doing so well, she was responsive, helped us out with some watering tips, and came out to our place personally and suggested we replace a couple of them to start over. A neighbor recommended Cityscape and we would too!

Casey and his crew at Ciryscape turned our dusty, sad side yard into a relaxing oasis.

Casey listened to our needs and designed a space that featured a patio, turf space and dog run. Cityscape exceeded our expectations.

We worked with Ed and the team at Cityscape and they did an amazing job. We turfed the front yard, moved some of the existing plants, adding new plants and the space is completely transformed.

Communication was great and the crew onsite what awesome.

Highly recommend all around.

We are already planning on another project with Ed!

Oh Man! How can I explain the gratitude I have for Ed and Cityscape? We had a monster of a trash tree in our courtyard when we bought our house and the roots was causing the hardscape to come up. With Ed's suggestion we found an arborist to take down the tree (it was very tedious) and the next day Ed and his crew was there to create a budget friendly courtyard for us! We got hardscape and sod as well as some cute bushes, grasses, and a tree. Ed was very understanding of wanting pet friendly, we can't kill it, kind of plants and he was so patient with us while we tried to figure out exactly what would work for the place. His recommendations were what we did and I cannot be happier. It's been about 5 month and with Ed's instructions we somehow did not kill our grass and the plants are doing well. We'll definitely be back anytime we need anything to do with plants. I cannot get over Ed and his crew and how budget friendly and happy I am with my first courtyard in Chicago.
Thanks Friends!

I highly recommend Cityscape for your landscaping needs. I have been using them over the past ten years and have been so pleased with their work. They have helped me with the design, installation and maintenance of our front and backyard gardens. Every season, I look forward to their great work. I can't recommend Cityscape Landscaping enough; I have been so pleased with their great work and so will you!

We have used Cityscape Landscape twice now in our current home and plan to bring them back every year to keep things looking fresh and beautiful! We had them remove rocks and create complete plant beds with trees, bushes and flowers the first time they came which turned out beautifully! This May we had them come again to create another landscaping bed with trees, bushes and flowers and they had the sweetest idea of a little stone pathway for my daughters to play on! They also landscaped our empty grass parkway in front of our house with a beautiful weeping blooming cherry tree, a large boulder and rose bushes and flowers! I am absolutely in love with everything they have done and Mary was always helpful with changing the quote to fulfill exactly what I wanted (since I am extremely picky - I don't like orange flowers ha!). I couldn't be happier and would recommend them to anyone. Cannot wait for them to come back next spring to clean up (inclusive of washing our astroturf lawn!) and adjusting any planting needs to make sure our yard is looking its best.
