Landscaping reviews in West Chicago, Illinois

I’ve used Salinas Lawn & Power several times, and every experience has been completely professional. I appreciate the entire process—from the initial inquiry to scheduling and the actual service. This year, I hired them for aeration, and they arrived on time and did an excellent job. I’ll definitely be using their services again in the future.

Recently had our lawn aerated & overseeded for the fall. The team was prompt & completed the work in a timely fashion. Pricing was extremely competitive & lower than many of their competitors. Would recommend!

WORST COMMUNICATIONS EVER. The work they perform I would rate 5-stars, but the communications from their office is so poor I have to drop two stars. If you email them they don't answer. Well, maybe they answer one in ten. The response I received was "let me look into that" but never get a response. If you call, it is answered by a computer. Knowing I was talking to a robot I said "HUMAN," the robot says "sure, let me connect you with a service representative" but then it transfers you to....another robot. If you ask again to speak with a human, it goes into a loop to talk to another robot. Aside from that, their pricing is good and their work is first rate. But if you have a problem or question, good luck actually talking to a person to discuss it! I've been waiting about 10 days for an answer to the simplest of questions about whether or not my core aeration was supposed to include overseeding. You would not think that is a hard question.

Overall great service! Flexible with not mowing/charging when there are droughts. Sent alerts when the lawn would be mowed, so we were not left wondering if the lawn would/wouldn’t be mowed. Only downside- AI answering service needs improvement to help strengthen communication. Will definitely use again next year. We also hope to utilize other services in the future.

This is a review for Turfmen Lawn Fertilization, owned by Salinas Outdoor living, since they have gone completely silent and have refused to take care of their customers for literally months.

Terrible experience with this company.

There has been little to no communication and I have been attempting to cancel my services with them for weeks. They have not responded to phone calls, emails, requests directly on their Jobber website, or text messages.

In general, the work has been subpar and sloppy, requiring me to have to clean up after them every time they fertilize my lawn. Sweeping or blowing the excess fertilizer on the sidewalks is a bare minimum for any fertilizing company.

Multiple times they have sent messages that they are going to come out to fertilize, only to not show up, and give no reason as to why they were a no call no-show.

As a household with two dogs, we need some notification prior to them coming to make sure everything is cleaned up properly.

In addition, my grass only looks “OK.” Certainly no better than it ever did with me using a basic Scott’s fertilizer program.

In addition, when they placed fertilizer and straw in my backyard, they never came to remove it, and I spent over a half hour ripping up the straw and mesh that was interwoven into the grass.

Initially, their communication was fine, but they have dropped off the face of the earth, and seem to have zero care towards their existing clients.

At this point, all I want to do is cancel the service, and any future charges will be reported as fraud on my credit card.

I am obviously not the only one with this problem – they seem to have abandoned their entire customer base, read their reviews.

We had a great experience working with Lupe, Juan and Ricky at Salinas. They pulled all of our old bushes and rock that surrounded our property. Planted all new bushes and laid fresh rocks. Very transparent on pricing and timeline and they worked their butts off. Professional and friendly, highly recommended them for any landscaping needs!

Outstanding work! Salinas Outdoor Living beautifully repaired our brick mailbox and driveway, and completely rejuvenated our brick patio and firepit with new bricks. Craftsmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail were top-notch. Everything looks brand new-highly recommended!

I've struggled to find a reliable landscaping service for awhile, did some research, and decided to contact Salinas. From the first interaction I was impressed with their professionalism, punctuality, superior communication, and value for dollar. They use an app-style service to let you choose times that work for you for an estimate and once you approve the estimate electronically, let you know when they plan to arrive to perform the work; really appreciate how streamlined and simple this was. The first service I had was a cleanup and mulch/edge of all the beds at my house (there are many). The price they quoted me was very reasonable, and they showed up day-of and worked quickly while being very respectful of my property. The finished work exceeded my expectations. It seems like there are so many companies out there, but I (like many consumers) have struggled with poor communication, excessively high prices, no-shows etc. - I highly recommend Salinas Lawn & Power and will continue to use them for my landscaping needs. Thanks for your great work!

I have used Salinas for several different yard services over the last couple of years and I am consistently pleased with their work. The prices are very reasonable, and Salinas does excellent work. We most recently had the guys come out to mulch and to install new sod in a section of our backyard. Lupe and his team are so polite, friendly, and always show up on time. I also very much appreciate their website - easy for quotes and handling payments. Thank you Salinas for all your hard work - we are very happy customers and will continue to use your services!

These guys did an amazing job! We had a ton of leaves in our yard and the team cleaned everything up in less than an hour. The service was reasonably priced and scheduled quickly. We’ve used them twice and will continue to use them for fall cleanups!

Salinas does an amazing job here at Prime storage in Glendale Heights. Snow removal and salt application is perfect all the time. Very professional and affordable. I definitely would recommend him to friends and family and other businesses around.

This is the first time we have used a Salinas, and we were very impressed with the fantastic cleanup! They were right on time and communicated well. We will be getting a quote from them as well to do some more work around our house. We highly recommend them!

This is how they transformed our backyard. We had so much weeds, shrubs that make the yard unpleasant to look at. But they did a great job of cleaning up and we love it. One problem we had that they’re not so good at calling us back for our questions that we had. but they’re great at replied email back and answered all the questions we had. My point is if this could make you feel discouraged to work with them so look pass it because they’re doing a great job. They’re show up when they said they come and they work hard. Overall, we made the right choice to hired them for reasonable price and get the job done the way you want it.

Salinas crew was great! Showed up on time as promised, worked clean and fast. They were the first ever landscaping company that showed me a 2-D rendered version of my driveway, what it’s going to look like when they are done…awesome! Very professional and very reasonably priced! Way to go Salinas!!! I am one happy client! Keep up the great work! See the before and after pix !

First off I would like to say that the customer service from Lupe was top tier! He was very attentive to any questions we had, always making himself available. He and his team are some of the hardest workers I have ever seen! Lupe is very talented and will help you decide what works best for your space. His designs skills are next level. You can tell he enjoys what he does and is extremely skilled at it! They are doing our patio project that is a three tier project. Everything completed in stages. Something we chose. They completed the first stage with stairs, a grill nook and first half of the patio. The next stages will work on the second patio and deck. I have lots of projects we plan to use this team for. The time that they took to ensure that everything was perfect for us is amazing. They treated our house like their own by taking such pride in their work! They wouldn’t leave something that wasn’t perfect for them. Our family cannot wait for them to come back in the spring and start the next segment! If you are looking for a team that will make your yard turn into an oasis, look no further! Salinas Outdoor Living is the only way to go! Customer for life! Thank you Lupe and team!!

Salinas Outdoor Living did a great job in finishing the gardens around the brick patio and installing landscape lighting. Lupe, the owner, provided excellent professional services from the design phase to the final clean-up. The job was completed in three days with a three person work crew. I was informed on developments on the project at every stage. Pricing was good. I highly recommend Salinas Outdoor Living,

We hired Salinas Construction to redo our front steps and walkway, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, Lupe kept us informed and involved, ensuring clear communication every step of the way.

The team went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied with the work even removing and redoing the steps at one point to meet our expectations.

They took the extra time to find matching or similar bricks to blend seamlessly with our existing structure, which we truly appreciated. Throughout the project, we were consistently updated on the schedule and who would be on site.

The quality of the work is excellent, and based on this experience, we’re already planning to hire them again to repair our patio. Highly recommended!

Reckless plow drivers!!

Everyone we deal with at the company is professional

Too many empty tables and people waiting for more than an hour to be spotted

Grant and Power does beautiful work. Check out their website!!
