Home Services reviews in Evanston, Illinois

We hired Greenwise to landscape our business - our goal was to plant native species that attract wildlife. They did an amazing job from beginning to end. They worked with us on which plants we could use (and that were non-toxic to pets!) and their designs were really lovely. It was better than we pictured and we're really excited for the Spring to see everything come in and bloom! We highly recommend!

Heather was wonderful during the planning process and so responsive. The 3 person crew we had for the project was absolutely wonderful. They were professional and worked so hard even with the heat. We would definitely use them again. Thank you!

Horrible service, and extremely unprofessional management. They charge premium prices and offer the absolute worst service/landscaping. Honestly shocked at how terribly this company has handled our landscaping this year. We will never be using them again.

This is the fourth year that we've commissioned Greenwise for a winter planter, and we look forward to the color and stunning highlight for our entrance for the winter season. This year's winter planter was installed late Wednesday afternoon, and looks even more spectacular in the daylight. Many thanks to Tim and Mike for their creative artistry and for truly enhancing the entry to our home. We also appreciate their working with our requests, and Tim coming to personally make sure this happened.

Excellent design and implementation. Gannon did a thoughtful design and oversaw the project well. The men who prepared the beds and did the plantings worked so hard in the heat. They took great care. The project turned out beautifully. We will continue to use Greenwise.

I used Greenwise for re-sodding my rental property backyard and mulching the front area. They were extremely knowledgeable and provided very cost effective recommendations. Additionally, the quality of work was exceptional and professional.

Although the job was a small one, soil leveling and sod for a 3 ft x 90 ft strip, the work was done professionally and the end result was excellent. We will definitely look to Greenwise for a larger project we have planned for the spring

Greenwise lawn care has been nourishing our lawn for a few years. They are reliable, responsive and use planet-friendly products. Their Spring clean sets us up for the growing season. I’m very happy they are local, conscientious and professional.

Outstanding customer service!!! We are SO well taken care of. Our lawn is beautiful without any chemicals and that is the most important part of loving Greenwise as we are dog owners. Every single greenwise employee is lovely to work with!!

I’ve relied on Greenwise for snow removal for the past three winters, and they have exceeded my expectations every time. Their team is incredibly reliable, showing up promptly after every snowfall and ensuring my driveway and walkways are completely clear. They pay close attention to detail, never leaving behind dangerous patches or piling snow where it’s inconvenient. Their communication is top-notch, keeping me informed of scheduling and any weather-related changes. The service is worth every penny, and I can’t imagine a winter without them. If you want the best snow removal service, Greenwise is the clear choice!

Working with Greenwise was a great experience. We have a small space that was difficult to design around, but our representative, Christoph, came up with an amazing landscape and hardscape design and we could not be happier. Our yard was a wasteland and they did an incredible job transforming it into a little oasis. We could not be happier with the results! We highly recommend Greenwise and Christoph for and landscaping needs!

We had Greenwise add a rain garden to our yard with stones and some plants -- no mud or standing rainwater for the dogs to stand in anymore and it looks great! Many thanks for a straightforward and thoughtful design that exactly meets our needs, was reasonable for our budget, and was installed very quickly.

We also use Greenwise now for natural insect-repellant and we appreciate their care for the environment very much.

I have used the services of Greenwise Organic Lawn Care at my home three times this year. They cleared my walkways of snow and ice this past winter, did Spring cleaning in my yard, and more recently planted a beautiful rhododendron shrub in my back yard. I have appreciated their expertise and quality of work for all the jobs. I will be using them again this Fall, when they will plant tulip bulbs, to add more color to my gardens.

Greenwise has cared for our lawn for quite awhile now. We have huge grounds here at Oak Court Condominiums, Evanston and find working with their crews and management to be good listeners and carefully tend to our requests. They are very knowledgeable and take time to explain and answer our questions. They recently mulched our flower beds and hedges. It took several days and they carefully worked around new plant growth. Very professional and thoughtful each time they are here.

From start to finish, Greenwise went above and beyond our expectations. Heather took our long list of requests (dog-friendly plants, native species, and more) and turned them into a cohesive, beautiful design for both our front and backyard. The end result is even better than we imagined!

Josè and George, who handled the installation, were absolutely fantastic. Their attention to detail and genuine pride in their work were clear every step of the way.

We’ve already received countless compliments from neighbors and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Greenwise to anyone looking for high-quality, thoughtful landscaping.

As a result of a wet spring and a hot, humid summer, our usually beautiful yard turned into a jungle this year. We contacted the folks at Greenwise and they immediately came to our rescue. Within no time, we found their communications to be a blessing in punctuality, detail and collaboration. They really walked us through a step by step description of work to be done after their representive walked the yard with my husband who pointed our our concerns, and the rep presented him with options to remedy our overwhelming situation. Yesterday, a crew of courteous and obviously experienced young fellows showed up bright and early and got right to work on our project. They worked diligently non stop for several hours and at the end of it all, we were truly astonished at the terrific job they performed and the absolutely beautiful transformation our yard underwent. Greenwise has surpassed our expectations in every way, communicating with clarity, promptness and expertise, and we enthusiasticly recommend them. We are so grateful to have found them.

The whole experience with Greenwise was fantastic. Heather was organized and guided us through the project planning and material selection. Roberto and crew were excellent with the installation. Overall, I highly recommend the Greenwise team and will work with them again!

I keep using Greenwise for both my landscaping and snow removal. They do a great job for both. Brian is quite responsive to any questions I have about my landscaping. He comes and checks out my landscaping when I want to talk about changes to it. The snow crews follow the instructions in my contract about where to place the shoveled snow. They also follow instructions about what areas to shovel. I am very satisfied with both services.

Enormously happy - reached out for a project with a short time frame and Greenwise got it done. The guys that came to work at my house are friendly and smart and offered some suggestions that elevated my project and experience.

So happy I hired them for weekly service - organic lawn care takes time and this was explained to me and I am willing to be patient - even the guy who came to fertilize in the rain took the time to explain the science behind what they do.

Top to bottom great experience - would recommend and rehire !!

The team at Greenwise Organic Lawn Care were great to work with from start to finish! Gannon (designer) listened to us and helped us create a seating area that fit in with the existing hardscape of our yard. When we changed the design slightly Gannon adapted the plan. The team worked their magic and in two days created a lovely patio space big enough for our Adirondack chairs and fire table.

We are enjoying our outdoor space and look forward to continuing to work with Greenwise in the future to bring our yard vision into reality.

Thank you for the wonderful entry door lit holiday garland and planter displays! Most importantly thank you Justin, Abby and the team for kindly coming back a couple weeks after installation to rebuild two of our planter displays after the wind blew them down.

Overall we were incredibly impressed by the beauty, size, and uniqueness of the displays. We will be happy to have you back next year!
