A lot of anxiety on a huge job and investment and they knocked it out of the park with a great job with leveraging the latest in unilock pavers to create an timeless granite paver look with just as timeless bluestone for our front porch walk way and entry as well as for our side door walk way and entry. Was very good at listening and collaborating. We've already received a ton of compliments and are extremely proud of "new and improved" home. Thanks, Lino!

He gave us great advice on selecting the right size pavers for the small-ish patio area and executed perfectly on the design we discussed during the estimate process.

I would use Lino and his team for any paving or stone job at our home in the future, and recommend him to anyone. Thanks, Lino!!

We undertook this project with a great deal of trepidation. Our 60-year old concrete driveway was…read morein sore need of replacement. We obtained several estimates and decided to go with a well-established contractor, Pavestone Brick Paving, based on their reputation and experience. (We decided against hiring landscapers who also installed pavers even though their quotes were somewhat lower.) We visited some paver driveways that Pavestone constructed in our village and were impressed with the quality of their work. We also were bolstered by a visit to their facility in Des Plaines where we met the office staff and viewed the construction equipment. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and pleasant. We worked with Sergio, and I was completely satisfied with the service that he provided. From his initial visit to our house, through the discussions of the quotation, and conversations during the ongoing work, he displayed a pleasant demeanor and maintained contact with us, by phone and email. I felt quite comfortable working with him. He made useful suggestions during the planning process, such as rerouting the lower section of our downspouts below ground to discharge into our yard. I was also pleased that he was able to replace an unneeded section of our old driveway with sod. He provided samples of paver stones to assist us in choosing the best fit for our house and even created computer-generated renderings, depicting our house and driveway with the selected pavers installed (see photo). The job began about a month after we signed the contract. The crew of 5 men, led by Hector, worked tirelessly over a period of 6.5 days, in heat and occasional (light) rain, leading to a very attractive outcome. Each worker knew exactly what to do, and the team did their job in concert like a well-oiled machine. (See the photos which depict the progress of the project, from start to finish.) We are quite pleased with the outcome; the result is an attractive driveway that has become the envy of my neighbors. I have received many compliments from them in the days following completion. In summary, Pavestone Brick Paving transformed the worn and aged look of our driveway and walkways into an aesthetically appealing complement to our house's facade. I give them my highest recommendation.

I cant say enough good things about this company that I would reccomend highly…read more We were in desperate need of a new roof . We had several estimates from companies that never returned calls or texts or inflated the costs because they new we needed a new roof ASAP. From the beginning we talked to Cathy who was extremely knowledgeable and talked to us every time we needed to make decissions and she even helped us pick out the color. If she was not available we always got a real person to talk to or had the option of visiting their office. Bob came out and could not have been more compationate to our immediate needs and addressed our problems . The crew was on time, efficient and courtious. Im not sure how anyone can not appreciate the hard work these people do replacing peoples roofs in the heat and poor weather conditions we have had. Not alone going up and down ladders carrying heavy equipment. They cleaned everything up upon completion. It was so nice dealing with a family owned buisiness that definately showed pride in their work and valued communications with the customer which other companies did not do. We cannot thank them enough and have already recommened them to our family and friends.

The history why I have a trust with the company. My latest project was new soffits, gutters and guards. I am very happy that I do not expect to climb the ladders and the soffits are now venting the attic properly. My home now has a much better curb appeal. However, the experience was not like I had in the past. I am very disappointed. Surprise: the next day after 8:00 a sub-contractors van shows up. They are wearing shirts with another firm's name on the back. The worker has a printout with instructions and tells me there in nothing about replacing the freeze boards. The quote was based upon a sales meeting and his instructions. Based upon my past with Peterson I expected the quote was complete. Apparently, they stopped doing clear all inclusive pricing. Sloppy work and left my yard filthy with dozens of nails, aluminum piece, scrap wood insulation all over the yard and deck. I'll be looking for, and picking up the mess over the next few weeks. The use of tarps would have reduced the mess. I had a the roof replaced by Phoenix Exteriors a few weeks earlier and only found three nails near the downspouts. When I pointed out a couple of sloppy points, my home was blamed: "older house is not straight". Flashing with bubbles, and gaps where the strips tuck. The issues show up on the new "freeze boards." Not confident if the boards were put on straight. Taking advantage of elderly customers is not successful business practice. Scheduling: I had to call the office to get on the schedule. I was told Sept, 30, no one showed up. Two days later I called back and transferred to a manager. He seemed surprised and told me he would get back that afternoon. 20 days later I get a call: they are coming out the next day - 7:30 am. Lack of and poor communication is fixable. Peterson had an opportunity keep a returning customer. These issues point to a change in work ethic and can be fixed with a little effort. It's disappointing to see another local business get sloppy.

Landscaping and emergency are rarely used in the same sentence however as sudden, extreme, and sustained rainfalls made an Ark seem to be a better option than a wedding tent we found ourselves between a rock and the wet place. Lucky for us George Cardenas Landscape Design was able to accommodate our need and quickly developed a solution that offered near and long-term solutions to our problem. These days it is rare to find a business that still places an emphasis on service, quality, and working together to make your ideas come to fruition. We are fortunate enough to have discovered Cardenas Landscape Design many years ago. Through several homes, more Spring & Summer cleanups than we care to remember, and assorted yard hardscape and planting projects that always garner Botanic Garden comparisons - George, Alex, and the entire team at Cardenas always exceed our expectations! Several years ago my daughter's final wish was to live on as a white oak, we only trusted one team to find the perfect tree and plant it for Molly to be ever present with us. They also made a small paver patio for our teak bench that offers hours of time to reflect with Molly and watch as grandkids and dogs play in her shade. Molly's dream plus the Cardenas Team's efforts have kept Molly with us in all the best ways! Our current yard has challenges on good days. George and his team have cleverly designed and installed several very naturally flowing paths that not only give us access to our yard regardless of weather but enhance the beauty of the yard as well. Dirt, rock, plants can be bought, installed, and cared for by nearly anyone and in an endless variety of ways. However, finding a company that can add the intangibles of design sense, materials expertise, trust, reliability, and friendly customer focused service is something worthy of note. George Cardenas Landscape Design is the proven right choice and best value for us time and time again. Dave & Jan
