I needed a solution to a drainage issue in my small backyard; water was coming from everyone else's…read moreyard, flowing to the storm drain in mine. During heavy Champaign rains, I had a fast-flowing river about 6-8 feet wide flowing through the lower portion of my yard. I filled out a form on his website and John contacted me shortly. He came over to view the space and shared some ideas that told me we were on the same page. My project was likely "smaller" than he was used to; nonetheless, he and his team did an amazing job for a fair price. I also had purchased a tree that turned out to have a larger root ball than I imagined. John helped out on short notice, picked it up on a Sunday morning(!) and installed it shortly thereafter, while still in the middle of a another project. His idea actually made my yard feel much larger than it had been. He ended up installing two small walls, two trees, lots of extra soil, and beautiful river rock; he also adde a brick walkway next to my front drive (his idea). Incredibly professional, incredibly hard-working, excellent work overall. VERY HAPPY with the end result. (Except for the crabgrass that took over after planting grass in springtime! Looking forward to redoing in the fall. . . ). I no longer have a river problem. It now drains very well.

This company was remarkably unprofessional. The workers needed constant supervision and…read moreinstruction, which the management company expected me to provide--but this is why I hired a landscaping company and not a teenager. They couldn't tell a weed from a flower, which resulted in the death of some of our flowers. They cleaned the pond with a chemical that killed our fish (Clorox bleach). They replaced our water pump, but wouldn't provide us with the make/model or instruction manual of the expensive new water pump. In fact, they wouldn't answer or return my phone calls. On top of this all, they were very expensive. All in all, a very unprofessional experience that made me think they had no training. This company used to be good, so I'm sad and disappointed that their quality has fallen so far. Do your yard a favor and hire another company

I was very impressed with Greenview's with the beautiful landscaping they showed on their website…read more I called and asked if someone could come out and talk about incorporating a hot tub and/or spa into our yard in Champaign, IL,without distracting from it existing professionally landscaping. I spoke with Jason, he seemed nice, but to be honest the conversation was a bit awkward. I explained that I split my time between Chicago and Champaign. We made any appoint for today, June 30 between 11 and 11:30 am. I text Jason at 9 am to confirm our appointment. He text back I'm and said: "I don't think that I am your guy for this. We don't sell hot tubs nor do we install them. We don't even pout the footings they sit on. I apologize, but I'm not going to make it today. This doesn't sound like a project for us. Best of luck." I am not very pleased at all. First, we were not asking them about installing an hot tub or spa, but how to landscape one into our yard. We wanted their professional services to help landscape. Second, I wish Jason would have told me that Greenview was not interested in this job. And, third, I purposely stayed until Tuesday instead of going back to Chicago on Monday, to accommodate Jason's schedule (when I called him a week ago I originally asked if we could meet on Monday and he was not available.) As you can see from their website, their landscaping is beautiful and we were hoping to use their services for our backyard. Unfortunately, we were totally dismissed and our experience with their customer service is is very poor. I left a message with their office this morning and hope to receive a call back with at least an apology.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They have recently changed their billing practice so that the invoice is…read morepast due as soon as they send it. After three days they begin sending you past-due notices, although they themselves take a week after the service to send the bill. Even worse is that they aren't capable of receiving modern payments like direct-deposit and they are slow at processing checks they receive. So I sent a check the day I received the invoice, told them that it was on the way (twice), and today, 9 days after the invoice was delivered to me, I got a notice that they are sending me to collections. We've been customers for 15+ years and I've been OK but not thrilled with the service, but they are cancelled now.

I hired Mek's to trim and shape my HUGE maple tree and evergreens. Their estimate was very reasonable compared to others in the area, and I decided to try them because of their friendly nature and willingness to follow my instructions on the trimming. Scheduling was easy - about a week out - and they were on-site for most of the work day. I especially liked how they cleaned up all the branches and debris, and hauled them all away. The trees look great and my back yard appears a lot bigger without the clutter. Language was a bit of a challenge at first - all was understood - but to make sure I sent them a text with the Spanish translation of all trimming instructions. Worked out perfectly. Call them and you will get a quick response. I highly recommend these guys for your outside maintenance work.
