Home Services reviews in Chicago, Illinois

I manage a high-end residential property, where landscaping aesthetics not only make a significant first impression, but also play a role in the property's re-sale value. When we were looking for a landscaping company for our 2021 season, we knew we wanted a vendor who excelled in design, and who could create a beautiful outdoor ambiance that intrigued people as they walked by. Topiarius was the perfect partner for us. They not only crafted impressive seasonal displays, but they also listened to our preferences, responded to our last-minute requests, and understood our budget limitations. Chris Walsh has been our personal Clark Kent, ready to work super-human miracles when it comes to our landscaping. And with a powerhouse team behind him--Danny Taylor and Luis Castro are incredibly responsive--Chris and Topiarius manage to make us feel like their sole client. We were happy to extend their contract through to 2024, and I happily recommend them.

Topiarius completed two jobs for me in the summer of 2022. Both jobs were completed on time. The job in Indiana was extremely impressive. An entire backyard with full landscaping, sod and plantings was installed in under a week. Chris is lovely and fun to work with and I cannot express how impressed we were with the crew. They worked tirelessly every day with care and consideration until the jobs were completed. The maintenance that I have since hired Topiarius to do has also been impressive. You can’t have a great company without great people.

Our concierge, Danny, coordinates our work incredibly. The designs are always perfect and installation crew seamless. Also, the designs stunning and plants are all healthy and last during the season. They are the best; so glad I found them! 🌺🌺🌺

Chris and his team are the best in Harbor Country! So good at their craft! We are lucky to have them helping us create a woodland garden in our hot tub cold plunge area.

Two thumbs up to Topiarius! They are amazing!
They go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. Starting with everyone in sales, scheduling, installation and maintenance.
What ever you ask for they make it happen.

This fall we completed an overhaul of our row home's front and back yard with Topiarius. The scope included demolishing an old mud room and deck attached to the house, new hardscape elements (field stone retaining wall in front, raised bluestone patio in back), a new Trex deck and stair, and new plantings throughout.

It was a large project that ran seamlessly over four months from design to pricing to installation. While the pricing came in higher than we had anticipated, Craig worked with us to value engineer some elements and bring the total cost within budget.

Topiarius's turnkey approach added value by eliminating coordination between contractors, as they have design, demolition, carpentry, lighting and landscaping/hardscaping services all "in house". The level of communication and the quality of installation were well worth the cost. We are thrilled with our new outdoor spaces, and would highly recommend Topiarius!

Topiarius Fine Gardening has been absolutely outstanding to work with! From lead designers and project managers to the crew, our experience has been one of professionalism, talent, and flawless execution! Thank you for bringing beauty to our home!

Topiarius did an amazing job on our side yard, deck, and rooptop garden - complete over haul from conception and design all the way to execution. Their team was responsive, thoughtful, and really kind and took great care of our home. Would 100% recommend!

nice works

Excellent service

They provide a good service in the snow removal I hired them last and this season very good responsible

Promised to do some patching on my lawn over a month ago and clean up back yard overgrown areas still not done, called and left a message with call back number when was not happy with recent service still waiting on call back, but came and cut the grass the following week like nothing. Really thinking about just canceling my service

They always really busy,, but very responsive and dependable these guys were excellent to work with,, their hardscape and landscape designs wonderful great job

Great service. Great people. Thank you!

I called to see if I could get him to landscape a building I manage in the area. He hung up on me.

Nobody showed up for appointment. No responses to calls and messages. Very unprofessional and disrespectful. Don’t waste your time with them.

I called for an estimate and they said they'd be out at a certain time, and they never showed up. Poor customer service to not show up and not bother to reach out to the customer to explain why.

So these guys just dropped a business card in my mailbox while they were going door to door **during a statewide shelter-in-place order.** So no, not the smartest or most professional company.

Excellent work! We had a spring clean up, paver patio repaired, new sod and mulch installed.

These guys helped us remove an old chain link fence on the side of our house and fill out the space with river rock. It looks so much better. He had the job completed within weeks of initially contacting him. Would recommend.

I am writing this on behalf of my elderly aunt. This guy came out and gave her an estimate for some work and they agreed on a date. He never showed up. She called him multiple times and he made excuses but said he'd still come and do the work. He again, didn't show up. Today she called him and he hung up on her. Extremely rude and unprofessional.
