We hired Laslo after being disappointed by our previous landscaping company. When that company informed us that it would be December at the earliest before our fall cleanup was completed, I emailed Laslo asking if they could squeeze our yard into their cleanup schedule.

They never contacted me for a long while so I followed up cant remember if direct email or call but either way never talked to anyone and they just ignored me again. Probably too small a job. Sad part is I was using this as a litmus test to see if I wanted to use them for putting in new lawn, become my regular guys, etc. A simple response of job too small for us during this busy time or similar is too much to ask when your site asks for solicitation? Oh well if you refuse to respond at all you get this review and lose potential for a new customer. sry not sry.

I got hosed by these guys. I reached out in March. I wanted irrigation, landscaping, and lighting…read more They communicated ok, but they move so slow. All along I was telling them that I wanted this done before pool season. I already have the pool and patio (the hard stuff). I wanted to get the finishing touches with plants, lights, and the irrigation. Took weeks to get a design that you have to pay for ($500). All along I said I had $25k budget and they kept telling me they could make it work. Then after we settled on the design they said they had to get a quote for the irrigation (they outsource it), that took another three weeks. Then another three weeks to get the estimate which came in at $39k. Way over budget. They tried to get me to do it in pieces some this year and next because it was so over budget. They said that they underestimated the irrigation. But that was 7k, which means they were over budget before that while all along they were leading me on that they could do the project for my budget. They said they were a bigger company with marketing, a design team, HR, etc which is why they charge a bit of a premium compared to the mom and pop shops. Then my wife wanted to just do it despite my not liking how things were going, so I was going to go with it rather than start over with another search and miss the summer. So I asked when could we start and they said mid-July. That was it. I started this with them in early March, they took forever every step of the way, then they were like this is their busy season. But mid July, the summer is over then I have to deal with that mess during pool season. Never had they told me they couldn't do it early despite me constantly asking and saying I wanted this done before pool season (mind you, it was unseasonably cold for all of May so pool season started later than normal). That was it. They lost my confidence and I felt like they were not being straight with me. Then they blamed it on the new kid I was working with and maybe it was him, but that's their problem that they didn't train him better or stay on top of him while he was learning. But at the end of the day I asked the guy who cuts my grass weekly if he could do the landscape work and he did it; and did a great job (started the next week). I found AV Lighting And Irrigation on Yelp, he did a great job and worked with my landscaper to coordinate the projects. I was done in literally three weeks. Started talking to Mondo and AV in mid May, and was completely done in mid June. Project turned out fantastic, so with the $500 for the POE design, my entire project costs $24k. So under budget. POE's value prop was I pay the premium with them because they handle everything and I get this project managed white glove project, but what I got was delay, over budget, wasted time, and a good design. But if I'm being honest I could've got a similar design from Fiverr and used Mondo and AV and would've been fine. Maybe POE would've done a great job, but they couldn't get out of their own way and they were not worth what they were charging. 24k vs 39k, and I added more sprinkler heads, and the parkway, added more landscape and pergola lights...you decide? I included the finished project photos to prove that they other guys did a great job and I'm not just blasting POE. I'm fair and I don't doubt they'd have done a good job, they dropped the ball with my project.

POE is a poorly run. Steer clear of these guys. Experience shows they're incompetent.

Carlos Montano and his great crew replaced our decaying wood deck with a stunningly beautiful patio…read morecomplete with ALL of the artistic touches: colored accent brick on both the floor and seat walls, LED photo-cell lights (with the necessary electric components- transformers and timers, etc.), bullet lights for our trees, pillars, curved walls, and decorated steps leading down from the house doors. Although my husband and I came up with the main color scheme, Carlos was able to take it to the next level AND keep everything within budget for a really big job. Carlos and his men were timely, professional, courteous and dedicated to the task at hand. From demolition on day one to the final walk-through, we have not been disappointed. The end result is absolutely glorious. I cannot recommend Montano's Landscaping enough- if you want some of the best work in the northeastern Illinois area, this is your company to call. Don't wait- make the upgrades you've always wanted and go with these pros! They're WONDERFUL!

I have to say the way they responded to that was above and beyond and that is the mark of a good company. Overall, the quantity of work was exceptional . You won't be disappointed if you hire Montanos.
