Reviews of local pros in Winfield, Illinois

I had some of my big trees trimmed from Smith brothers. The crew was very professional. The price was right. My neighbor across the street watched them and liked what he saw (he is in construction) and asked them to quote him for taking out a dead tree. Highly recommended.

Ten years now we have used Smith Brothers Tree and Landscaping Service. They are dependable, affordable, and the quality of work is of a high standard. They recently trimmed the branches from our trees in front of the house to lift the canopy of vision to enhance the front of our home. It was amazing that our home looked like it did originally when we bought it. We use them for landscape design and all yard needs. They are our first call for all our yard needs.

We had Smith Brothers Tree Services come to our house to remove some trees. They showed up about 7:40am and were finished by 10:00am. It was satisfying to see a seven man crew take down three weed trees, thin a maple and completely take away everything.

They were quick, efficient and very courteous. Yes, I am recommending this company to all I know.

We had two large flower beds that were bordered by really old pavers. We have been planning to replace them for some time. We met with several contractors BUT decided to work with Smith Brothers because they came highly recommended. We contacted Smith Brothers on a Thursday. Lien came out the next day. She provided us with a competitive proposal on Saturday and her crew began work on Tuesday. Lien responsiveness in “second to none”. We were also extremely pleased with her expertise. She helped us make design decisions which, in the end, gave the flower beds a much needed “pop”. Her entire team was very professional. As the work was being performed, we added some extras AND, even with that, everything was completed in 3 days. We could not be more pleased.

This is our second time using Smith Brothers Tree Service. They removed a huge tree—literally 5 feet from our home and our neighbor’s garage—quickly, efficiently, and safely. We shopped around and liked Lien’s recommendations and expertise. They trimmed several other large trees at that time.
It was a great experience so we called them again. This time to (sadly) take down a dying Norway Maple in our front yard and to trim trees. Again, an excellent experience. The crew was polite and respectful. They took care of our yard, and cleaned everything up. Perfectly affordable without sacrificing quality work. Highly recommend!

The entire team at Smith Brothers did an amazing job with our pavers and landscaping. They started our project right away and finished on time. Extremely professional and the project turned out better than we anticipated - they are pros. Would highly recommend! Looking forward to working with them again.

Lien Smith and her crew did a FABULOUS job on a retaining wall with steps in our yard!!!! She was extremely patient with understanding our “vision”. Based on our input, she picked the perfect flagstone for the job! We couldn’t be happier and we would HIGHLY recommend Smith Brothers Services for your outdoor home improvements!!

I hired the Smith Brothers to remove a couple of trees from my front yard and they did a fantastic job. The price was incredibly fair, they showed up on time, and the work was done quickly and safely.

I'll definitely be hiring them again, especially knowing they are veteran-owned and operated!!

Lien Smith and crew built us a spectacular backyard stone patio with a custom gazebo and fireplace. Lien is such an amazing designer- she looked at my initial design and pointed out the problems with it - her redesign was amazing. She also has great taste, her suggestions for color and type of stone are spot-on. The project was started and completed on time and Lien always returned calls and answered questions. We also used them to redesign our front planting beds and I totally trusted all of Lien’s picks for the plants- it’s gorgeous. Highly recommend.

Very happy with our project - Lien and her team are a pleasure to work with. Lien is creative and happy to make adjustments to stay on budget as well as share her expertise and recommendations. Lien designed full landscaping around our pool, garage, finished our deck, and aesthetically updated and functionally upgraded our culvert - big project and we were pleased every step of the way. Definitely recommend and will use them again for future needs.

Lien and the Smith Brothers team did a phenomenal job putting in a patio and a retaining wall for us! We’ve live here over 14 years and our patio was old and we’d have standing water by our house when it would rain so we were overdue for a new one. Lien was great to work with! She has a vision from the moment she looks at your backyard space! Her team was fast and efficient and Lien would show up everyday to check in and oversee the work being done. We highly recommend Smith Brothers and we’ll definitely use them again! They can do it all!

All I can say is - wow!! Smith Brothers did an amazing job with my landscaping. The crew did awesome work and have excellent attention to detail. I am extremely happy with their services and would highly recommend!

Good work, on time, got 3 quotes and they were very reasonable, explained the needed work and suggested reasonable options. Highly recommend this company.

I have continued to use Smith Brothers over the years. Whenever I reach out to them, I get a response the same day, but often within minutes. The last job they did, they came out to see the work on Saturday, and said they would be out next week; they were there first thing Monday, and that was in 95 degrees weather. The whole crew was very profesional. If there was an issue, they were quick to fix it. They got the work done cleaned up and left. They left the place looking spectacular.

In a word WOW! My wife and I wanted to redo our backyard which had a cement patio. We decided we wanted to have pavers and a firepit installed. We had 4 recommendations from friends. After we receive all 4 quotes I stumbled upon Smith brothers in a coupon book and decided to get a quote. After spending 5 minutes with Lein I knew we had the company we wanted to deal with for our project. She was so knowledgeable and nice it just felt right. We weren't just looking for the cheapest price. We were looking for someone we thought would be responsible and do a fantastic job. While their price was one of the best it was their work ethic and reliability that really stood out. We could not be happier from start to finish. We can't thank you all for the great job that you did on our backyard. I would 100% recommend this company to everyone.

These guys are Rockstars! We had a very large oak tree crack in a recent storm and threaten to fall on our house. One company I contacted said they would need a lift and had to postpone coming for at least a week until the ground was dry enough. Since the matter was urgent, a friend recommended Smith Brothers. Lien arrived right away and was very professional and knowledgeable. Her estimate came in lower than the first company as well.
Her team came first on Easter Sunday morning, because of the dire nature of the cracked tree. They were very careful and safety conscious. Their climber arborist tried initially but due to safety concerns had to abort that try and return the next day.
By 8 am Monday morning, the crew had returned and spent around 7 hours carefully supporting the rappelling arborist climb a nearby 60-foot tree and, with a chainsaw, remove the damaged tree, piece by piece. It was incredible to watch!
Lein stopped by a few times to communicate with her staff and with us. She was excellent to work with!
They were careful with our property and cleaned up after themselves. Because they initially thought they would have to get a lift, they laid plywood over the grass. They left the chunks of Oak wood for us at our request and took care of everything they had agreed to do.
I'm in awe of their skill and teamwork. Each person displayed professionalism and a good attitude, despite the chilly weather and holiday weekend.
Lein and I discussed some other project ideas and I hope we can work together in the future!

I had a small but very difficult area in my back yard that needed help in the worst way. It used to have four huge pine trees. They were removed about 3 years ago. Finally, this was the year to make that weed infested area look awesome! I contacted Lein Smith at Smith Brothers. She came to the rescue and had wonderful suggestions for the area.

Her crew had to work very hard when they discovered giant roots buried deep in the ground. I had no idea the roots were that bad! She shortened the original bed, and added sod! Beautiful flowering azaleas and lilac tree were planted in that space.

Hydrangeas were planted in a new berm area. I would highly recommend using Smith Brothers for all your yard projects!

Highly recommend home fixers for your handyman needs. Hans took care of all my items in a timely fashion. Compiling a list of additional work for home fixers to address. Very satisfied. Thank you.

Edgar, Jose, Brian and Beatrice from Mint Painting did a wonderful job removing our old plank flooring, installing new luxury vinyl flooring and painting the walls and ceiling of our condo. They were professional, worked hard and completed the project to our satisfaction. Their work quality was excellent. Home Fixers was very easy to work with and sent great people to get the work done at a reasonable price.

My husband and I have been very satisfied with Home Fixers because they’ve helped with multiple home repairs (re-secure a towel holder, fixed our doorbell, fixed the light above the sink, fixed doors/locks, drywall repair, painted our ceiling, baseboard installation) and home improvement projects like helping us upgrade our kitchen and bathroom faucet. We especially like them because they won’t turn away small jobs, too, because we aren’t handy. They give free estimates, and their pricing is reasonable. We first found out about them through a mailer and very glad we found them. I’d recommend them to family members without hesitation.

So pleased with the service we received from Home Fixers! Our handyman was Frank who did outstanding work for us! Professional and polite from the moment I first called them! Our repair was the overhead garage door frame was pulling away from the interior. Looks great and works again!!
