Reviews of local pros in Des Plaines, Illinois

Great, wonderful, hard working and friendly people! After they finished the 8 foot high fencing on my dog house, they pushed me down a stairwell, and I haven't been able to feel my left arm since! Great guys!

Amazing surface, I highly suggest, this is some very good landscaping, this is how my garden looks now

This is by far the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with - started a fence project and when the village asked them to measure and pin the yard they refused saying it wasn't their job (owner cannot read a survey) and walked off the job. they left my yard a disaster - garbage broken tree limbs, half dug holes, this impacted my neighbors property as well. When we tried to contact the owner - he wouldn't return any phone calls - I would recommend you stay away from this company as you are headed for trouble and I wouldn't wish this on anyone - complete loser

Once again another horrible landscaper. He kept putting off the work on my yard for a month. Then he told me he had all the materials when he finally did show up and didn’t. He didn’t even do half of what he said he was suppose to do because he said he was too busy and had a big job to do the next day. He said he would come back and fix everything for free if I wasn’t satisfied, which I am not, and he won’t answer my calls or text messages. I’ve never felt so disrespected by a company before. Maybe they only do a good job on yards that cost a lot of money I don’t know but he’s very unprofessional. And his workers left their empty cups and used cigarettes in my yard!! Good luck to this who hire him I hope you have better luck then I did.

If I could give them a zero I would. We paid Angel a $300 deposit with With a contract that Angel was showing up the first week in May. He was a no call no show and we had absolutely no communication as to when he was coming. We have called and texted him numerous times with no callbacks. Now we’re out $300 with the tree sitting in my backyard that needs to be planted and screening on my driveway for the fire pit that he was supposed to do. This is very unprofessional. I’m disappointed because my parents were the ones that gave me this referral and he also did not show up for them as well for the work that they needed done the week prior. We have been more than accommodating since we know that we’ve received a lot of rain, all we needed was a phone call, especially since he has our money. We wait for a phone call so we can get back the money that we gave him for a deposit which we will be disputing.

Last year we hired Angels Landscaping and Construction to install pavers in our backyard, 10 Months later I found out some areas are sinking and water is accumulating. I contacted Angel, the owner and after a month he has not gone to even check the damages. He now doesn't even answer my calls or text messages. I would never hire or recommend this company again. he doesn't even deserve one star.

Always above and beyond expectations amd contract agreements.

Saw these guys pulling a trailer flying down the turnpike going 85mph in the middle of the night with no trailer brakes. If they landscape like they drive they DEFINITELY get stuff done. And the trophy goes too...

Marty & his son Mike did some design work for us and then planted some easy to maintain plants, ornamental grass and a beautiful weeping cherry tree (our main request). They went an extra step and pruned another tree we already had and did a cleanup of the area to really make it shine.
We just love this area of our home now.
Great family & work at a reasonable price. Thank you!

My wife and I purchased our very first home this past September and we needed a complete overhaul of our lawn. We needed existing grass removed, land leveled, underground drainage installed, new sod laid, etc.

We were recommended to Marty’s Landscaping, and we have no clue why…they should not be in the landscaping business. They have ruined our home, and what should be one of the most enjoyable experiences in our lives. We spent a good deal of money with them, and it has all been a waste. We no longer can move forward with other projects to make our first home ours, we now have to spend our savings to fix what they have done.

The only positive is that they were quick to come out for a free estimate. That is it, no other positives.

Horrible, horrible, horrible communication. We were eager to have this start but we were left wondering when. They are terrible with returning phone calls, so we were just left in the unknown. When they finally did show, they didn’t not communicate a timeline of the project. As time progressed the yard started to take shape. They didn’t show for a few days so we had to call multiple times to ask if they thought they were finished, as there were areas that still needed attended to. Finally we got to assume it was finished, as it appeared the new sod was laid everywhere.

This is our first home, our first lawn, and they gave us no advice or direction from here. Only one time during this process did they reach out with any semblance of advice, and it was to ask if we could water the different areas of the lawn for 20 minutes each this particular night. When a customer pays as much as they do for this type of service, you would think they would invest in some customer service skills. They did say they would be out twice over the first 30 days to maintain the lawn by mowing, edging, etc., how nice. They still have not showed and it has been two weeks since completion.

We had received quite a bit of rain during this process, but we noticed the new sod had turned brown within 2 days of job completion. We called several times before getting a call back, and let them know about this. It is clearly unacceptable to pay for a complete overhaul of a lawn and have the grass go dead after 2 days. Marty said it could be that the sod is not attaching, not enough dirt, etc. It took several back and forth attempts before finally someone apparently came over to check the situation. My wife and I both work during the day, so we are typically not around for anything that has been happening in our yard. They could clearly see something was wrong, as 75% or more of yard showed partial browning or looked completely dead. They told us not to worry and that they would take care of it, they had to talk with the supplier of the sod.

Did I mention that we already had paid cash for this job? There was no incentive for Marty to make things right, and it took over a week for someone to come out from the supplier. No communication on Marty’s end during this time, we were left calling every day for status updates.

Well, supposedly the supplier came out and said that the sod was fine. The sod used for the next two jobs after ours was fine. Well, as you can see from the pictures I attached, the sod is not fine. Something is clearly wrong as we have paid for a dead lawn. Our yard was in terrible shape before this process started, but it looked better than this. We are now left being told to water the yard for the next week and see what happens.

The amount of stress caused by this company, lost savings, time, etc., we feel completely ripped off and vulnerable. I under no circumstances would ever recommend Marty’s Landscaping to anyone, and I wish we never were. Hopefully this review and the complaint filed with the Better Business Bureau, will give others a chance to avoid them at all costs.

Excelente atención. Calidad en sus trabajos. Amabilidad de su personal. Ampliamente recomendable.

Great work. Always on time and goes the extra mile.
Highly recommended.

Cut my grass one time and charged me 240 dollars. Stay away from this company at all cost. Extremely unprofessional.

Alfredo's landscaping is incredibly difficult to nail down dates and schedules. They either call as they are on their way or just show up without warning expecting you to drop everything to work around them. I highly recommend you looking to other landscaping companies.

What started out as a great experience turned sour rather quickly. We signed a contract for a service to install sod at our home and paid the deposit. A couple of weeks later we got a call saying they’d have to move the service date.

The day before the service date I spent all day trying to get in touch to find out if the service would still be happening, only to find out that it wouldn’t. We were offered a refund or an amount off of the service but at that point I no longer believed the service would happen at all, so we went with the refund.

A month later-still no refund. We paid via Zelle and I’ve had to file a police report as well as a claim with my bank to try to recover funds. So NOT do business with this super shady company!

AN Lopez Landscaping did a great and thorough job of fall cleaning in my yard. The beds had not been touched for over a year with lots of weeds and no edging. The crew transformed the yard quickly and efficiently!

This Landscaping Company is great, they are not only servicing my home but my business as well. Very reasonably priced, always on time and they not only do the grass cutting and maintaining your lawn but also they do retaining walls and paver patios. They all did that for me. Highly recommended 👍👍👍

Armando did a great job helping me with my Yard. He’s detail oriented and I would recommend him to anyone

The team did excellent work edging, mulching, trimming, and cleaning up of our backyard. The price was reasonable and it was very easy to schedule service. Thank you!

Lopez landscape has made my yard look like a brand new home. I am very impressed with the service and the work they have given me. Definitely recommend it to whoever wants to get their landscaping work done!

Very dangerous tree removal, no safety equipment. They free climb the trees.
Beware...

Moved 8 bushes to the fence line.
(6 Died, and we had to remove them ourselves)

The first impression we thought was good.

Later noticed the stumps that were paid for to be grinded down were hidden under the mulch.
We I called to have this corrected, but they never answered or replied.

Not recommended 😕.
