Reviews of local pros in Oak Forest, Illinois

Thank you David Bermingham from D&A Landscaping & Patio for installing a new landscaping river! This side of the house does not have gutters (can't be done) and the rain pours off the roof during heavy rains. This feature prevents the mulch from washing into our yard and causing a mess. The feature before, over time, the rocks shifted. Thank you David for always doing a great job! Your crew is wonderful! Before and after photos shown.

I was recommended to David through the Frankfort handyman Facebook group and also through a mutual friend. He recently took out old rock and brick and redid my retaining walls. He was easy to communicate with, easy to schedule with, showed up on time, and did quality work. I love my new retaining wall and rock. Since it's close to frost and I couldn't plant plant some plants I wanted, they inserted something to keep the shape and help prevent rocks from falling in till I can plant next year. I highly recommend this company!

I highly recommend D & A for your next landscaping project.

At the time of buying our home, we knew that the original backyard full of pavers, gravel, and mulch was not for us. Multiple landscapers ignored my phone calls after seeing how large the job was. I was so happy that Dave took the job on. He is professional, responds in a timely manner, and manages a knowledgeable team. We love the final result!

Dave and his crew did a fantastic job turning our backyard space into a beautiful patio we will be able to enjoy for years. Dave was very responsive to texts and calls, always available to answer my questions, and kept me informed of what to expect before and during the project. He and his crew were professional, on time, and worked efficiently to get my old deck removed and new patio completed and we love the final result. We definitely recommend D&A Landscape and Patio! You won't be disappointed.

Dave was responsive and professional from Day 1. He and his team worked their tails off and did a full demo on our previous patio, removed the retaining walls and mulch area around the front and rear of our home, installed a couple of new retaining walls out front along with rock to replace the mulch and installed a paver patio out in our backyard. It is everything we hoped for and we’re now looking forward to many good times out back with family and friends as well as feeling much better about the appearance of our home out front. I look forward to working with Dave in the future on other landscaping projects for our home.

We had a fantastic experience with D & A Patio! We had our old deck torn down and replaced with a beautiful brick paver patio, sitting wall, and fire pit corner. It was a big project with a ton of demo but Dave and his crew worked hard to get it done right. The crew was polite and respectful and never stopped hustling. The end project turned out picture perfect and we already love our new backyard space. D & A had fair and competitive pricing, excellent communication throughout, and plenty of experience to come up with a unique and creative design plan. We would highly recommend D & A Patio- they definitely surpassed our expectations! Thanks guys for a job well done!

Dave and his crew are very professional. We had them install a brick paver patio and a walkway as well as bury the drain connected to a downspout. Dave and his crew arrived on time each day and kept us informed every step of the way. Dave showed us a picture of what our patio would look like upon completion so we knew exactly what to expect. We are thrilled with the work and our new patio. We were instructed on how to care for the patio and even told where to purchase the necessary items to maintain it. We highly recommend
D & A Landscape and Patio. Thanks Dave for doing an awesome job!

D&A has provided excellent customer service, professionalism and craftsmanship. This service/upgrade has added substantial value to our home. Brick phase completed: sod and rock will be completed within the next month. We highly recommend Dave and his team, and look forward to using them in the future.

I heard about D & A Landscape and Patio from a neighbor. The owner has a fast response time and came out to provide me with a free estimate. Dave was able to fit me in about 1 month ahead of my original scheduled install date and the job was completed in a timely manner. Dave's crew was very respectful and they were hard workers.
Update: I recently found a few issues after about 1-2 months after job completion. The main issue did not present itself until settling took place. I contacted Dave and we are in the process of scheduling a time to have him evaluate the issues at hand. I will update once the issues have been rectified.

Update, Dave came out and I showed him that the square around the tree was off center and the front of the square was not level (middle section was higher than the ends). I also showed him how sections of the retaining wall rock back and forth with barely applying any pressure. Dave stated the square was off center due to roots and stated I agreed. I agreed to roots being cut but I never approved the square being off center. Prior to the installation, Dave spray painted a square around the tree that was centered, which I agreed too. Dave brushed off my concerns about the retaining wall rocking back and forth. After going back and forth Dave finally agreed to correct only the square around the tree but he wanted me to sign off stating there were no additional issues. I did not agree and he rescinded his offer to fix the square. I also had concerns about settling which he said would not occur. The retaining wall had a thin layer of paver base beneath it and the retaining wall was not recessed into the ground, which also caused the sections to rock back and forth. I decided to hold off on updating my review to see if any additional settling would occur. Several spots have settled and made the wall uneven. Multiple stones also became loose and I had to reapply landscaping cement to hold it in place.
Dave and I went back and forth through text messages and he pretty much called me a liar and he cannot accept that his employee did not install my retaining wall properly.
Dave lacks accountability for his employees work and is not willing to fix the issue at hand.
I will say, I have seen the work that Dave has completed and he is skilled to complete the work but his employee that worked on my landscaping lacked the proper training. So if you do hire Dave, make sure he is the one doing the work.

I contacted Dave Bermingham of D&A Landscape after researching numerous contractors. His previous reviews were justified after seeing him & his crew work. Dave responds quickly to texts & phone calls.
Once we settled on a patio replacement versus doing repairs Dave was very helpful with taking our ideas, explaining pros & cons of them and moving forward with the project after we agreed to the layout. It was a little more complicated since we were keeping some aspects of the previous setup. He & his crew did a great job of tieing it all together. We are very pleased with the results.

If you’re looking to add a patio to your house make sure you call Dave before making your final decision. He’s incredibly professional, easy to work with, does great work, and he and his team follow through on their schedules even when the weather doesn’t cooperate. I’d highly recommend Dave. Take a look at our patio…there are lot of pictures because it’s 2,500 square feet

Last year we were so impressed with D&A landscape (total patio makeover) that we decided to try them for our full kitchen, floor, dining area, and two bathroom renovation. Wow, we are thoroughly pleased and impressed! D&A were professional, integral, honored the contract, timely and reasonably priced. The renovations increased our home value significantly! If you’re looking for a contractor that shows up and go above and beyond I highly recommend D&A landscaping!

Better late than never on this review! This summer, I had D&A install a new fire pit patio with a seating wall, a paver walkway from my garage service door, and some pavers in front of my shed. Dave was very patient and made several trips out to my house to redo the layout of the patio and he was able to provide me with an estimate before leaving each time. When it came time to do the work, his crew did a great job. Everything turned out fantastic and they were meticulous in the cleanup as well. I would certainly call on Dave again for any future project.

I hired D&A to replace an existing concrete patio in my backyard and replace it with a paver patio. Dave and his crew were great and provided everything one is looking for when they hire out a project.

There was good and consistent communication from the beginning

His crew was polite and respectful of my property. They did a thorough clean job.

The project was done in a timely manner

The end result is a beautiful new paver patio

I am very happy overall. If you are looking for a Paver Patio, I highly recommend D&A.

Highly recommend D&A Landscape and Patio. They transformed our outdoor space and it looks amazing. They were professional from beginning to end of project. Project was completed in a timely and efficient manner.

They took the time to walk us through the design, offered great suggestions, and made sure every detail was addressed. They took pride in work and we are very satisfied customers. We’ve already gotten so many compliments from neighbors and friends.

Stop whatever you are doing, and call Dave at D and A Landscaping. I promise you will not be disappointed. Dave came out, gave us an estimate, walked us through the design process, and answered all 51 of my questions with patience.

We were so impressed, excited, and happy with our complete patio makeover. We went from a 25 plus year old deck and gazebo to a herringbone patio, sitting walls, and fire pit area.

Dave is very professional, responses quickly to calls/texts, and his work ethic is top level. Mario and his crew are the absolute best! My husband and I highly recommend D and A Landscaping.
