Reviews of local pros in Plainfield, Illinois

I don't understand how anyone can give these guys 5 stars. I would give them a negative 1 if i can. Awful customer service, i have been wanting to get a quote on getting my landscape work done and i was supposed to be visited by one of their "techs" to stop by and give me an estimate. I have left them voice mail, text messages and so on and all i get is a darn lip service that someone will follow up that never happens. Either they don't care about getting new business or simply don't want to provide me a quote for reasons i don't want to know. Avoid them like plague.

Work about 14 hrs a day and for the last couple of years CPL has made my life easier by ensuring my grass is cut every week to standard.

When company comes over for the holiday’s I’ve reached out to CPL and rest assured they accommodated my wishes. Dependable, friendly and economical.

It was a pleasure to work with College Pros this past summer. I had to leave town for a couple of weeks and I was pleasantly surpised by their pricing and the quality of work that they provided. I also had to extend the work by another week and they were willing to continue taking care of my yard without any surcharge or extra fee. I look forward to working with them again during 2023!

Very reasonable pricing. They are responsive and they keep you up to date when the landscapers are on their way and when work is complete. Their automated billing is a breeze. All I have to do is an electronic transfer and life is good. Definitely going to hire them for next year.

Kyle is not only a great guy, but he did a fantastic job doing a core aeration service allowing me to overseed our lawn!

I have used College Pros for the past 2 summers to maintain my lawn. I really like the communication and the automated invoices after my service. I always know when they are coming to cut my grass and if anything changes due to the weather. Also, the automated invoices help me keep up with paying them on time and send reminders if I forget. Very happy with the maintenance of my lawn and will definitely use them again next summer.

A very unprofessional company. They gave us a time. They never showed up. On follow up, one guy showed up and offered multiple excuses of not being there in first place. Then he promised to give us an estimate and it’s been more than 3 weeks since I heard of anything. They didn’t even respond in spite of follow ups. A very Unprofessional attitude.wasted my time. I don’t recommend them at ALL.

My experience has been great with college pros. They are very responsive, the communication is always on point and the quality of work is excellent. They go above and beyond to provide great service. The price is fair and the work is top notch.

Jacob is phenomenal. He has always done an excellent job on our yard and is very responsive. I refer any of our new neighbors to him for service. He will often make suggestions on what he can do to improve the lawn. I cannot say enough wonderful things about his business and how much we appreciate being his customer.

College Pros never came to complete the work they said they were going to. I was a customer of theirs all last year on their subscription program.

They were supposed to come out one month ago to do my first fertilizer pre-emergent treatment.

I sent them a message when they were two days late from the date that they said they were going to stop by. They replied that they were going to send an update out to their customers (which they never did) and reschedule for a later date.

I sent them a message a couple of weeks after that, to which they did not even reply.

Now that they are about a month late for this service, I let them know that I was no longer interested in being their customer. They didn’t even respond to that message. I have essentially been ghosted/forgotten about by this company.

We've been using this company's lawn mowing service for the last 3 years, and they've been great. However, they have only shown up for the initial service in April this year and have ghosted us since. We did speak to them over the phone, and they had someone would come, but no one has come in the past 3-4 weeks.

I found College Pros Landscaping through Thumbtack and am so happy that I did! They have been maintaining our yard since we moved into our home last spring. Kyle & Jacob are great to work with; highly communicative, consistent, and do a quality job. The service is very affordable and I look forward to utilizing their services again next year. Highly recommend!!

They are the best! They came out and did an excellent job. Their mower wouldn't go thru the gate to my backyard. They could of left the back uncut but they didn't. They took their trimmers and made the back look like a mower did the job. I greatly appreciate the effort and job that they did to my yard. I highly recommend them to anyone! Thanks guys!

Jacob does a fantastic job at everything he does for us. He offers a great price, and is a quality person to have help out with the lawn care. He knows what he is talking about and you can tell that he is really passionate about this business. I highly recommend him to those who have not already been taking advantage of his services.

The guys did an excellent job dethatching, aerating & over-seeding our lawn. Kyle addressed my main concern of dead spots in the front lawn, likely due to grubs, and paid special attention to those areas.

Jacob is very knowledgeable about the work he does and is reasonable on his prices. He always responds to questions I have and has done a wonderful job at our home. We will continue to use Jacob and the team at College Pros for sure.

Good service, good communication via text for the most part!

CPL were very quick to assess my needs and provide a very competitive rate. They have also been very responsive to my requests and provide prompt responses.

Big shout out to Jacob and Kyle. They did a great job on my lawn this past year. Consistent and on time. More importantly they are honest and not just about a job. There were a couple of instances they recommended to wait for the next scheduled service as my lawn didn’t need to be cut. If you want the best value and care please give these guys a go.

Highly recommend! Appointment for fall aeration was quickly and conveniently set via text. A followup email and text came letting me know of the exact date and any preparations that needed to be done.
They showed up on time, throughly did the job and even sent a thank you appreciating my business. Will definitely use them again!

Reliable, efficient, and easy to work with! A great cost-effective option in this area!!
