I got estimates from 5 different landscapers. Ayala was the only one who gave me a fair price from…read morethe start. Other companies basically cut their estimates by nearly half when pressed and after negotiating. Aristides Ayala was upfront from the get-go. Honest! He is one of the few owners to actually lead the project. He had 4 other guys ranging in age and experience, but he personally did the work and coached the other workers for the full 3 days. Showed up on time, professional, and meticulous. Great teamwork and leadership! He listened to what I wanted and provided cheaper alternatives. He provided the vision and over delivered. He will be my go-to guy for our rental properties!

I was in the residential/commercial landscape business for over a decade. My fiance and I had…read morerecently purchased a new home and needed some work done quickly and at a fair price. Unfortunately, due to such a busy schedule, I was not able to do the work myself. However, I started looking around and I came into contact with Jeremy / South Side Specialties (SSS) via Yelp. I had multiple estimates for a pressure treated retaining wall, three drain pipes, a low level deck tear down, river rock/flagstone and artificial grass install. From day one, I knew he was going to be the company I went with. He was super professional, came in at a fair price, completed the project quickly with a very professional/knowledgeable staff and has been amazing to work with on the back end. He was so good, I recommended him to my parents for a massive hardscape project and to my homeowners association for some tree work our community needs completed. We had no issues with Jeremy / SSS at all. A lot of companies don't really care about you once the check is cashed and the project is completed, but not Jeremy. Throughout working with Jeremy on my home project, he had found out that my grandfather was very ill (eventually passed away). Approximately two weeks after the project was completed and paid for, Jeremy gave me a ring and left me a voicemail checking in on my family and I to see how we were holding up. You have no idea what that meant to us - he's an absolute professional with a big heart and amazing customer service. Jeremy and SSS have my highest recommendation I can give them!

Our brick walls in front look just as good as if they were new thanks to Jeremy and his team.read more

Their work is great and I highly recommend them. They kept to their quoted price and did some extra work.

They even cleaned up and carted away some of the detritus, rocks, and leftover topsoil we had accumulated from our prework (which created the blotch on the bottom of our driveway--that was from us, not them).

They understood what we needed. What emerged wasn't just an installation--it was a soulful beautifully organized transformation. Our backyard now bursts with joy: vibrant tomatoes, lush kale, fragrant herbs, and even bees that gift us fresh honey. But the most beautiful bloom? My 85-year-old mother's radiant smile. Her biweekly garden sessions bring her peace, presence, and purpose. They even installed two gorgeous rain gardens--eco-beauty with intention. Every element was tailored with excellence. If you're thinking about Love & Carrots--don't hesitate. They are not just gardeners. They are healers of homes and stewards of joy. The value of their service is worth their weight in gold.

I finally reached out after they were an hour late and was told they were still on the previous job site and hadn't contacted me b/c that would be unprofessional, though clearly not so unprofessional that it kept them from replying when I reached out. Owner takes no responsibility, wants to make it very clear that things were outside of his control, which happens in contracting, but nothing prevents you from making a phone call.
