Reviews of local pros in Mokena, Illinois

I had my patio raised in certain areas. The area under the stoop was extremely low.. He raised other portions of the patio along with the stoop area. Two weeks later the area at the stoop dropped more than it was before he fixed it.. Also the sand that he put in has cracked and sunk throughout the patio. Rick the owner came back to look at the patio and did nothing to fix it. He told my husband to put more sand in the cracks.He also said that he would return the following week to fix the problems and never did. I called him numerous times and he never returned my call.
He comes off as very sincere,
But will not honor or take pride or ownership in his work. He had no problem taking my money.

Early last summer I reached out to Rick Bernardin to have some work done at our home. There were three tasks to be done.
1) Remove black plastic edging and replace with metal edging.
2) Plant small tree in front landscape.
3) Repair and seal paver patio in back yard.
Needless to say, every aspect of these three tasks were done poorly. Work completed was not worth the price we were charged.
1) Workers did not remove all the old black plastic edging. Old sections remain. Guess they just didn’t feel like doing the job correctly.
2) Tree not planted correctly or staked correctly. It was leaning when planted. Then they came back to re-stake it. Now it is leaning again. Tree looks ridiculous leaning forward.
3) Paver patio was not fixed correctly. Paver edging was never put back into correct place. Their “fix” was to simply fill in the area with sand. Paid to have the patio sealed, this spring we have weeds coming back between the pavers. Again, a very poor quality job.
Don’t waste your money. Find a better company.

I couldn’t be happier with the experience I had working with this landscaping team! From start to finish, they were incredibly responsive and professional. The quality of their work and the materials they used were top-notch, and the entire project was completed quickly and right on schedule. It was a real pleasure supporting a family-owned business that clearly takes pride in what they do. Highly recommended!

We had Bernardin’s Landscaping refresh our landscaping with new mulch, new plants and reseeding of worn out grass areas. They removed overgrown shrubs in our pool area and planted beautiful flowering shrubs. We were very satisfied with their work. Bert met with us and discussed all work to be done so we were on the same page so to speak. Loved their personal interest in providing what we wanted. Thank you Bernardins

Nice owner .
Does quality work

Ron and Ashley are awesome and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them for your landscaping needs.

Ashley is outstanding! She started out asking what I wanted. When I told her I didn’t know, but wanted suggestions, she presented several options. Her ideas were based not only on what would look the best for each area, but more importantly, what would work the best and remain cost-effective. The depth of her knowledge is impressive.

As the project developed, we discovered some obstacles that required changes. She took it in stride, shifted gears, made the necessary changes, and voila, every bit as nice as planned.

While she was working, I asked for a few other things to be done. She did everything I asked for and found some very creative solutions for my problems.

Lastly, her prices are quite reasonable. Even the “extras” that I asked for were not expensive. My only regret with Ashley is that I didn’t find her sooner. With all the unimaginative, overpriced landscapers in this area, Ashley Bengston stands out like a shining star! Thank you, Ashley.

Highly recommend!

Excellent service and pricing!

Very professional. Very happy with the quality of their work. Did an excellant job.

Very professional and detail oriented service at a great price. Will definitely do business with Groundskeeper again!

I highly recommend Groundskeeper Landscapes! Ask for Austin he works very hard and does amazing work.

They removed concrete add rock than mashed it down put in pavers. Added sand than sealed it. Add a little soil and sod around the pavers. They did a very good job.

Hired Groundskeeper to do some tree removal and I was extremely pleased! Very professional and hardworking. Will definitely be working with them again!

Never returned to finish the work.

Hired Austin to trim back two neighboring trees. He trimmed one, left, and has not returned phone calls or texts to return to finish the other.

Had 3 quotes for tree trimming from different companies, and decided to go with groundskeeper. Was very impressed with the quality of work and clean up. Ask for Austin!

We have been lawn care, mowing and yard cleaning for several years and are very happy with the service we receive. Once a week they send a crew that mows the lawn, trims around flowerbeds and driveway. Always leave no mess behind. We have a corner lot on a busy street with a stoplight. They also remove the clutter left behind by "litterbugs"
Overall we are very pleased with our choice of landscapers

Buyer beware: I hired this company for two years in a row to trim 4 bushes in our front yard and both years they over charged me. The first year they overcharged the time they were here, and after a couple of months of calling, adjusted the price to the one hour they were actually here doing work. This year they charged the same amount so I assumed they overcharged the time they worked. Wrong! They reported that there were 3 men doing one hour of work. Both years I kept track of time spent and men present and this past year I had one hour of work done by 2 men. If you hire this company, be present for the work, record time and maybe take a picture of how many people are working (even though that's creepy). This year is our last year of working with Groundskeeper.

Last year Groundskeeper Landscape removed and replaced several diseased trees at my home. The price was reasonable and the work was done in a professional and conscientious manner. We were completely satisfied. This year, we hired Groundskeeper to replace our old and failing halogen landscape lights with new LED lights. Keith designed a new system and was able to repurpose some of the old components to keep the cost down. Everything turned out exactly as we hoped. I have since recommended Groundskeeper to two co-workers.

Had a great experience working working with Austin. Would definitely recommend him and his team to anyone.

Great experience from start to finish with groundskeeper . Austin the new owner listened to what i wanted to achieve regarding my trees. Everything was cleaned up and removed. Definetly use Groundskeeper. you won't be disappointed..
