“The Hursthouse team patiently spent many hours developing a detailed and extensive renovation plan for our entire property. Major features of the plan included: --installing a brick paver driveway bordered by a snapcut limestone retaining wall --installing bluestone front entry walk and porch --rebuilding backyard bluestone patio and new courtyard area with water fountain and cast iron fence border --extensive landscape lighting both front and back --installing imported planter urns on pedestals --extensive tree & shrub planting, perennials & ground cover. The design added great value and enhanced our enjoyment of our property in ways we never anticipated. The entire Hursthouse team took great pride in their work and went to great lengths to make us very satisfied clients.”

“We have used Rolling Landscapes on a number of occassions - Each of those times we were very satisfied with the results. They are very helpful with designing our project. Great in assiting our current need and our needs for growing or adding onto the project at a later date.”

“My firm, Greenheart Buildings Inc. (d.b.a. Arrow-wood Timber Frame Homes), engaged Twig Landscape Design to develop a multi-phase design for a remodel in River Forest which is now underway. We were impressed by Michelle's ability to understand and represent our client's needs in her final design. We are looking forward to putting the landscaping in place, once the other roofing and siding aspects of the remodel have been competed. We highly recommend Twig Landscape Design.”

“Montano's installed a beautiful unilock Stonehenge paver driveway and walkway for me. Montano ownwership helped me select the type of paver and the color. The Stonehenge paver selected comes in three sizes with a textured side. I let Montano determine the paver design and pattern to use. I was not disappointed. This project replaced an aging red hollandstone driveway/walkway needings repairs. The Stonehenge paver was a substantial upgrade. The brick crew arrived promptly on the jobsite each day. The crew was well organized and it was obvious they were skilled in the paver technology. The crew was very professional and customer focused. The crew was also available to answer any questions and/or concerns I had in a timely manner. Ownership was frequently on the jobsite to ensure the project was flowing smoothly and address any concerns I had from the management perspective. This project weathered the 2014/2015 winter season and still looks brand new today. I also had Montano install a matching paver mailbox the Fall of 2014. The mailbox came out gorgeous. Montano's suggested installing a concrete plaque with my house numbers on the front of the paver mailbox structure. This feature really made the mailbox standout. Montano's is a real professional contractor to work. Together, we developed the scope of the projects. The projects were completed on-time and within budget. I also thought the paver driveway, walkway, and mailbox were fairly priced.”

“Nathan came to our home for an estimate and design ideas for a back yard makeover and patio. Our yard was messy and needed clean up and we really wanted a patio. Nathan provided detailed designs of his ideas and concepts and made some great suggestions. He called and scheduled within a week as promised. He moved quickly with a hardworking crew and did a complete makeover. Two years later the patio drains nicely and looks fantastic. We highly recommend Nathan Wright Landscape. Thanks, Will & Eiko.”

“John and the K&D crew re-landscaped 3 sides of our house. We are very pleased with the work they did. John's plans showed imagination & originality that we have not seen elsewhere. This was the first time that we had work done (our 8th residence over 40 years), that did not require us to oversee anything! The professionalism was astounding! If we were present, it was because we were interested in the process. And the only questions to address were changes regarding availability of plantings, etc. The K&D workers were courteous and neat. A pleasure to work with and our compliments to everyone at K&D!”

“Over the years, I have had the pleasure to design and install Landscape Illumination systems on a number of projects that John West has designed and installed. As the owner of Night Light, Inc, I have had the opportunity to work at some of the nicest properties throughout Chicago. I am truly impressed with the landscapes designed by John. John does not follow a common road in his approach to properties. He understands his client's thoroughly and develops the entire property to be unique and very special. Calming and a pleasure to enjoy, is how I read his customer's reactions. Never have I seen a boring detail in his work, but instead a refreshing approach to creating excitement in garden spaces. We have worked on smaller city spaces and country estates, where he has transformed them into meaningful islands of paradise. I give John my highest praises for jobs well done.”

“I had the great pleasure to work with Phil, who took my vision and made it into a stunning reality! My backyard went through an entire metamorphosis and I could not be happier with it. There was great attention to detail, good communication, and of course the end result was fantastic. I could not recommend this company more. It was even featured in the July 2009 Better Homes & Gardens magazine.”

“I have collaborated with Julia Bunn from the Spirited Gardener on two very challenging projects. The first one was a new, modern single family home in Chicago. The owner was also a gardener and Julia produced a great landscape design that fit perfectly with the homes design. The second project was a LEED Platinum project in Evanston. Her deep knowledge of LEED not only helped secure many precious points, but the design was amazing! I would highly recommend working with her and look forward to our future work together!”

“Our experience with Scott and CMS landscapes was awesome! Very professional. His planning and execution was very good. His suggestions and advice was in the best interest of our needs, and he was not trying to finish off his project and move on. He came back after few months to move some trees, as that's what was best season for that operation. Highly recommended!”
