Landscaping reviews in Chicago, Illinois

I had such high hopes for this place but we were ghosted. They came out to take a look at our place, told me they’d get a quote within 3-5 weeks and I never heard back. I called a couple of times and emailed but nothing. They came out in early June and is now September. It looks like so many others had great experiences with them. I’m not sure why we were treated differently.

After spending 5k seven years ago on a 10x12 bluestone patio with Kemora, I just had to hire someone else to dig it all up and redo the foundation. Communication with Kemora is terrible... if you have issues, don’t bother contacting them because they won’t respond.

I’m leaving 5 stars because 10 isn’t an option. The employees are incredible! They are hard working, diligent, dedicated, detail oriented, punctual and kind. I will refer everybody I know to Kemora. Y’all rock!

Had an amazing experience with Marisa and the Kemora workers. They did a spectacular job! Could not be happier with the results Would hearty recommend them to anyone!

The Kemora team is awesome. Great work, and also unbelievable communication, easy to deal with, transparent, informative. They always give updates on when they're coming and what to expect. They're the best!

As one of Kamora Landscape's origional customers, we continue to call them back yearly to maintain and modify our hardscapes, plant shrubs, flowers and occasional trees. In addition to their overall creative designs they also do BEAUTIFUL flower pot arrangements.

Overall, their work quality and design creativity is tops, their people are professional, helpful, responsive and considerate. Their prices are fair and they arrive when they say they will and clean-up when the job has been completed.

I originally posted a bad review about this company based on what I thought would be the final cost to redo the lousy work they did. It turns out, none of my bluestone pavers were cut correctly, so I have to pay another company $1000 more to re-cut them so that they can be spaced evenly. It also turns out that Kemora didn't even lay gravel under my pavers! They are overpriced and do shoddy work. Save your money and time and choose someone else.

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.
