Landscaping reviews in Chicago, Illinois

Best landscape and snow removal service in the USA. Matt Taylor is the best business man and honest owner

We have been using Taylor Made for over 10 years.
Maureen does fantastic work.
She is very creative.
Her crew works quickly & cleans up immaculately.
I highly recommend her.
You will not be disappointed !!

I found out about this business through several local neighborhood chat groups. I’m a local realtor and interior designer so I have bought standards (and lots of opinions) about projects like these.

I have had nothing but the best rapport, support, design and install from Maureen and her team. They undertook a huge front and back yard project. We completely relandscaped the front of my 115 year old bungalow with a lush perennial garden (and added in some of my mature plants from elsewhere on the property). We carved out two huge new beds and they are chock full of plants I love. We did a complete gut of my hard scape in the rear yard, created a beautiful walkway and patio for my new pergola and a second for my dining table and relandscaped the entire backyard and expanded a huge sun loving perennial bed and added trees and some landscape lighting and a shade bed too. Simply stunning!

Taylor Made transformed my yard this summer, salvaging the brick pavers that I had and created a beautiful garden and patio. They were the only landscaper I talked with who was open to reusing the pavers I had. Martha was very easy to work with, the crew was great and I love the results! Highly recommended!

Great doing business with them. We had them do some roof top landscaping and could not be happier with what they could do with that space. Highly recommend!

Brian at Awad was great to work with. Awesome customer service with very quick response time, and very accommodating!

We worked with Elegant Outdoor Designs on a landscaping project for the front of our home. We installed a brick walkway, pergola, and landscaping. The finished project is beautiful.

Great business to work with! Accessibility to the decision makers there to escalate all service related matters is second to none. I am an HOA president and plan on continuing to use AWAD indefinitely.

Awad Landscapes & Design has been doing my landscaping for over a year now, and I've been absolutely happy with the service to date. They always show up on time, and with minimal noise and disruption.

They have been the company we use for landscaping for over 2 years now. We are more than pleased with their service, dedication, and ability to ensure our area looks as elegant as you would expect. They are always timely and if road blocks come up, they are diligent on calling and ensuring we know when they will make it to our location. Would highly recommend them!

Brian and his crew were wonderful to work with. Great communication, timely, very professional and beautiful workmanship. You can just tell when a company cares about the work they do. Will definitely hire again!

Brian has a lot to offer , job went smoothly, we had major clean up , sod, seeds and a drainage system done late last year and currently everything is in good shape, the sod looks green and the grass seeds are coming through. Would hire again and recommend.

Brian Awad used us on a build after his subcontractor quit on him and asked us if we could start Tuesday and work without receiving a deposit “because his deposits are received Thursday”.
We trusted him since they seemed respectable (stupid I know). Thursday came and he sent some money but asked us to pay for his missing materials promising us to reimburse us.
Long story short after completing 90% of the deck and only receiving $900 deposit Brian would Not send his payment due, but wanted us to complete the deck first?? Like the saying goes fool me once shame on you! Fool me twice I DONT THINK SO!
Any subcontractor thinking of working for him, DONT DO IT!
Brian is a very shady person from my experience that, doesn’t pull permits in order to cut corners and save a couple dollars.
SHAME ON YOU BRIAN!

I had an incredibly bad experience with this company. Everything was great until I paid top dollar for services and then questioned if my hydrangea bushes were cared for properly prior to paying my final bill. At that time, Brian showed up at my house and confronted my daughter, sent a threatening letter telling me he was going to put a lien on my house and turn mycase over to collections, and brought in his attorneys. In my opinion, his communication style and conflict resolution practices are reasons to find another place to do business with.

My husband and I wanted a patio, the owner/guy who would come out to help measure and give us a quote knew that form the beginning. As he was over with my husband he wasn’t just talking/quoting that he wanted to do a whole design for the backyard and mentioned the front. He told my husband within a couple of days we would get a whole quote and explained you only get two chances with a down payment to change the layout. The downpayment that is not refundable is a lot and the quote we got for a whole designed yard (over a certain amount of time, which we did not want) was a crazy amount completely out of our budget.

I understand it’s a design but from the beginning the contractor knew we didn’t want anything but a designed patio. I think certain services and pricing could be better.

Hands down, Best landscaping company in the Chicagoland area! Worked with Brian for years never had an issue. Nothing these guys can't handle. Definately contact them if you want quality work, Done right,The 1st time. You will not be disappointed. They take pride in their work, which is hard to find these days . Great company, Great service, Great people!

I am not a robot :)

I cannot say enough about how great our early business relationship has been with Awad Landscapes. We have two HOAs using their snowplowing services and they have been communicative, quick, and done outstanding work.

Being in Chicago-proper we've had more than our fair share of issues finding quality snow removal services at a fair price. I'm thrilled to now have a service we can count on for many years to come.

Thanks Brian et al!

Brian and his crew have been taking care of my landscaping and snow plowing for the last several years. They have always done a great job both winter and summer. Brian has been very responsive whenever I have reached out to him with any special needs. I highly recommend his company for landscaping, lawn maintenance, and plowing.

I've worked with Awad Landscapes in the past and will continue to use them in the future. The crew is great and Brian is an amazing person to work with. He is a very considerate and will take the time to help you out. On top of that, he is all about quality and craftsman ship of the job. 10 out of 10 would go with him again.

I worked with Brain and Awad landscapes while remodeling my home and awaiting the arrival of our second child. After the initial meeting at our house, we decided to pay the deposit to have a design proposal created for our yard. The initial design was not what we were looking for at all. Our first meeting was slightly rushed, and, as a result, there were definite miscommunications in terms of the scope and scale of the proposal. After giving feedback, the design was much more in line with what we wanted, and what was feasible budget-wise. I spoke with Brian and we were able to make modifications to the contract in order to lower the price, and keep the overall look we wanted. Once agreeing upon a contract, installation was very quick and professional. And it just so happened that our second child came early and we couldn't be home during the installation. Brian worked with my father-in-law to discuss what was happening, emailed me updates, and even helped to water the new plants and grass after installation. Brian provided written instructions for the lawn care, and came by a couple weeks later to walk through everything with me and give me tips to do some lawn and shrub care on my own. While our transaction started off rocky, I am very pleased with the results. And to Brian's credit, whenever I had an issue, he followed-up with a phone call to make it right. I would recommend Awad landscape designs to anyone with medium to large projects, and to those who aren't sure exaclty what they want to do, as Awad can design something for you.

Brian provided a quick and reasonable estimate for planting grass in our back yard. He helped us figure out the best type of grass seed to plant and his guys did a great job. Within two weeks of planting our yard already looked great. Brian is also very responsive to messages. I'd highly recommend Awad Landscapes!
