Got the bait and switch from this company. I asked for a mulch installation, + edging, and a spring…read morecleanup. Accepted their offer, never got communication on when they were coming, some guys just showed up one day and started the spring cleanup. About halfway done, they told me it was going to be twice the cleanup and almost twice the mulch needed to complete the job, and the entire job would be 35% higher than they originally estimated. I didn't enjoy being given one price, then being given a higher price once the work started. I ended up letting another company do the mulch installation and edging. They did a good job with the spring cleanup, but ended up paying 55% more for the spring cleanup than what I was originally quoted. I gave them the opportunity to finish the job if they matched their competitors price, but they couldn't do it.

Several years ago, the concrete on two stairways to our home along with the driveway began showing…read moresome cracks. We got a few quotes for replacement, and were disappointed by the cost to redo an underwhelming design. If we were going to invest significant dollars, why not get a more interesting plan using pavers? A few more estimates revealed that design ideas had to come from us..."tell us what you want". Finally, we were referred to Nathan Filip at POE in Elmhurst. After 1 meeting with Nathan and Kevin, we were presented with renderings which were nearly perfect. Their design used 3 different stone types which gave our mid century home an amazing transformation. Every stair included low voltage lighting as did the tiered flower beds. Midway through the project, I decided that I was not happy with the 10 pallets of pavers which were going to be used on the stair landings and driveway. I emailed Nathan who called me within 5 minutes, and was at our home 15 minutes later. After a 30 minute discussion, and looking at a catalog, a new stone was chosen. The new pavers were delivered on the next work day, and the installation continued. I can't say enough good things about the installation crew. They were punctual, polite, neat, fast, efficient, and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The foreman was a master craftsmen who worked harder than anyone....always pleasant in blistering heat or pouring rain. Nathan and Rick were on site often...always willing to answer our questions or provide solutions. They installed our new light fixtures and even added an outdoor counter and pizza oven. Their goal is to please the customer beyond expectations by attention to every detail however small. Many thanks to Nathan for building a beautiful curb appeal which shows how much we love our home.

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.

After living in my new construction house, my wife and I decided that it was finally time to get a…read morebackyard patio. All we saw was a bare backyard with a lot of green grass with some weeds. We did have some "wants" on our list which included a natural gas firepit, natural gas line for grill, seating for ~6-8 people, and enough room for entertain with some food, drinks, and a nice place to relax. From the start to the finish, Grant and Power was completely different than the other companies. Other locations just met you outside, what you wanted, and how big. Then we got a quote. However, when I contacted Grant and Powers, they started out with an email with some essential information like their insurance, a pamphlet and other information to get us started. We talked about what we were looking and then waited for our appointment Our appointment was different. Instead of going outside and talking about size... Gene sat us down to talk to us. He wanted to know what we wanted, what we were looking for and what we wanted to spend. We told him about how we were going to use the space and what we wanted and gave him our budget. Afterwards we talked about modern trends and what designs are in/out, how we wanted to place everything. Then off he went with the rest of the team to start designing it after a small down payment. He asked about budget and we talked about how much it might cost, but of course, the final bill could vary depending on the design. A few weeks later, we had another appointment where he showed us the design and it was amazing. They really sat down and listened to what we wanted because it looked amazing. The budget was completely out of our range.. granted, we knew our budget was on the low side of things, but they were willing to work with us to make this affordable. Finally, our day arrived. We got a call the night before that they were arriving in the morning to get started. During the process, the team were good...i would give them a 4.5/5 for a few minor things.They did talk to us a few times but I wish we were updated better. They were good about protecting our lawn even though some areas did suffer. Luckily (For us and them), our backyard had nothing out there. It was just bare land with green-ish grass. From start to finish, they were done in a week. We waited an extra day for another group of guys to show up to set up the firepit and show us how to use it. They were in and out fairly quickly. In the end, we got a beautiful patio. One section to entertain/eat. The other area is for the firepit and grill. Due to the design, they both feel separate from each other. We did find some minor damages that the team did not let me know or Gene. But he is going out of his way to making it right and I appreciate it. Ive had some neighbors stop by to marvel at the patio. Overall, if I were to ever move away, I would go back to this company to design a beautiful space again. I would completely recommend this company if you are looking for the same.

My objection was to not being able to use a secured website and being forced to provide a credit card number to someone who is very hostile on the phone. 4. They demanded immediate payment with 3.5% debit card fee which doesn't leave me an option to pay by a check even though their invoice states 5 day grace period. Original review: The office staff was rude and unprofessional. The lady called me while I was out of town and immediately started arguing with me, demanding I pay them right away without any proof that the work was even done. They run everything like it's still 2005 -- they can't even send a simple link to pay with a credit card. They also charge a 3.5% fee for using a credit card, but that fee doesn't even show up on the receipt. Pretty scammy if you ask me.
