Landscape Architect reviews in Homer Glen, Illinois

Good prices

Bret-Mar always does such high quality and beautiful work. Thank you to the entire team at Bret-Mar!

Had the opportunity to work with Ashley at Bret-Mar Landscape. Very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend this Homer glen company!

Bret-Mar did a wonderful job with my landscape installation.
Ashley was a pleasure to work with.

We visited this place and decided to go with them for our landscaping in Palos Park a new construction the project was over $40,000 the final results was disappointing they promised certain results that we agreed on but we didn’t see that they kept saying it takes time they know how to rip you off I recommend that you stay away from this company.

I've never done a landscaping project before. We've been in our house over 5 years and never much cared for the original landscaping and it was time for a complete overhaul. I could not be more happy with the team at Bret Mar - especially Bailey & Ashley - who helped me figure out exactly what I wanted, and then their amazing team who did the job perfectly. And it came in UNDER BUDGET!!

Bret-Mar was really great and easy to work with. Our new landscaping looks wonderful.

We have been using Bret-mar Landscaping for the past ten years. At first it was for landscape design and then for spring and fall clean up. We are now using them for year round maintenance and we couldn't be happier with their service and attention to detail. In the past we used different services and they fell short in one way or another. Not so with Bret-Mar. The entire team from the owners to the crew pay attention to the needs of your property as if it were their own. We couldn't be happier.

We have used Bret-Mar Landscaping at our house in Homer Glen since moving to the area a few years ago. They do outstanding work and are incredibly helpful in walking through all the various landscaping options for areas on our property. Ashley has gone above and beyond in making sure things are done well and coordinating the work at our house. Highly recommended!

Ashley, Bailey and Adam were a pleasure to work with on our stone wall project. Very responsive and helpful during the design and implementation. Will definitely use Bret-Mar again! Thanks guys.

We have been customers of Bret-Mar Landscaping for about 8 years now. They are a great family own and run business. We have had them build a retaining wall for our driveway, landscape the front of our house, and complete Spring Clean up for both our landscaping and my backyard herb garden including weeding, mulch, and fertilizing. They have been extremely responsive to our needs and creative with their solutions to our landscaping challenges.

I've been a customer of Bret-Mar Landscaping for the past 3 years and appreciate their attention to detail in all the work they do. I've worked with other landscapers in the past and have always had a punch list of things that weren't done right that required them to come back out to correct them. This isn't the case with Bret-Mar. Ashley is a pleasure to work with. We meet early in the Spring and discuss the plan for the year and have regular touch points before the crew arrives on site. I highly recommend the landscape maintenance program. It allows me to spend more time with my family by taking care of the routine landscape choirs that are done throughout the year that would have taken me several weekends to complete. It also allows me to focus on the gardening that I really enjoy doing. Thanks Ashley and the Bret-Mar team!

Bret Mar Landscaping re-designed my entire backyard. I worked with their landscape designer Bailey and together (mostly with her input) we designed a beautiful stone patio with walkways, winding secret pathways of flagstone around the house, a beautiful fire pits, and all with creative and lovely landscaping, giving our yard privacy, peacefulness and beauty. We were also dealing with some serious drainage issues that we originally had expected to pay through the nose to fix, but at every turn Bret Mar has saved us money. The quote for the patio came under the proposal price (by over $2000) as well as our expected drainage price tag being lower. They are able to do all of this because they have experienced people running a professional business. The designer and owners are involved, and on the site making sure the job is being done the right way. At every turn I was being consulted to make sure it was being done to my satisfaction. I have dealt with landscaping companies in the past and have always come away frustrated and disappointed. Thank you Bret Mar for a wonderful experience. I will be calling soon to freshen the front yard.

We had Bret-Mar design and plant our Landscaping in May of this year. We are absolutely thrilled with the beauty and natural look of the Landscaping.
We met with Sharon in January 2019 and decided what we would like. Sharon was very knowledgeable, professional and responsive. She suggested a wide range of plantings and trees and she came to our home to review the plans. The staff and workers were friendly, courteous, and experienced. Many of her workers have been employees for many years. Bret-Mar has a Maintenance program with many options which we plan to take advantage of this year. We highly recommend Bret-Mar for all your Landscaping needs.

Bret-Mar just completed landscaping for our home. This is the second home they have done for us. They have the best, most hard working employees. Sharon did our design which we are very happy with. The employees who came out to do the job were very accommodating, very knowledgeable, and answered my many questions. They even encourage you to contact them with any questions that may come up in the future. I would definitely recommend them!

"I know a guy..."
How many times have you asked for a recommendation and gotten this as a response? When it comes to landscaping work for your home, friends and family that you ask will probably be able to offer you the name of either an individual or a service. There are loads of companies in our area that do landscaping but there is a difference between a landscaper and a landscape architect.
A call to Bret-Mar is one of the best things you can for your home and for yourself. The entire team is knowledgeable, easily accessible, open to listening to your thoughts and wishes, cautionary to you if something you like will not grow in your location, and excited and engaged to make your wishes come true.
I have used Bret-Mar exclusively over the last 25 years. They have never disappointed me. I have had them work in both my front and back yard, designing and planting flowers, shrubs, and trees. They have put in a brick paver walkway outside the front of the house, and worked very hard and creatively to make my dream of having a waterfall and pond in my backyard become a reality. My backyard is my sanctuary and Sharon and Ashley need to take a lot of credit for this.
This summer Sharon worked with me on updating some of my plantings and sprucing up the look in front of my home.
I cannot say enough about this family and all of the wonderful, hard-working people that on staff at Bret-Mar and help to make homes beautiful!

Bret-Mar (specifically Ashley) were amazing to work with. They came out a few times to talk through our needs/concerns for privacy landscaping and came up with some really amazing, thoughtful designs that not only looked good but were strategic selections for the location. Day off the crew arrived on time and worked throughout 2 days to install everything - they were very careful with the landscaping/sod already in place and made sure to clean up when done. Bret-Mar even provided detailed watering instructions and made sure I was comfortable with placement and proper care. Highly, highly recommend Bret-Mar.

Ashley is very knowledgeable about plants and shrubs. She designed a beautiful landscape for my backyard with a focus on privacy. She listened to what I wanted and came up with a beautiful design. It turned out beautifully. She and Bailey were very responsive to my requests and needs. We will be using Bret-Mar again soon!

From start to finish, our experience with Bret-Mar was absolutely outstanding. Ashley truly listened to our ideas during the initial visit, taking the time to walk through our yard and understand our vision. She had a quick turnaround with the plans, and when we came in to review them, we were blown away. Everything she selected was exactly what we had hoped for.
Ashley respected our budget and carefully chose plants and features that were not only beautiful but perfectly suited for each specific area of our yard. She offered us different options, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and made the entire planning process feel smooth and thoughtful.
The installation crew was remarkable — professional, respectful, and hardworking every single day. They took great care of our home and were considerate of our neighbors as well. When the work was complete, everything was left spotless.
The final result turned out even better than we ever imagined. Every detail was tailored to our exact taste, and we couldn’t be happier. Ashley even came back to walk us through the watering process and reassured us that Bret-Mar will continue to be there for anything we need.
We absolutely love everything they did and are so, so happy with the outcome. We would recommend Bret-Mar without hesitation and are already looking forward to working with them again in the future.
