Joe at Green Concepts is by far the best landscaper you could ever hire. His services are…read moreprofessional, high quality, and always reasonably priced. He's one of the few contractors I trust. In addition, he provides a ton of valuable experience and advice to anything related to your property. I had Joe extend my patio, change the grading behind my detached garage, install direct downspout drains to my retention basin, etc. Joe has also provided contacts for numerous other services I needed e.g. plumber, carpenter, pest control, etc. I suggest anyone looking to switch landscapers... go with Joe at Green Concepts. Even if you aren't looking, you should switch to Joe at Green Concepts!

We inherited a front stoop from the previous homeowner that was reinforced with brick risers and…read morepavers. On the top stoop, there were several bricks that were deteriorating below our front doormat. It looked like some of the bricks on the edge were replaced over time and either didn't match or were unlevel. The hardest part was finding a replacement brick that matched in color and size. It turns out, they don't make these particular bricks anymore. We called Stonemark Hardscapes along with 2 other companies to have them all assess the situation and propose solutions. Pete from Stonemark seemed the most knowledgeable and we liked his solution the best. Even though the same style brick didn't exist, he gave us some to choose from and said they could be cut to fit the interior bricks on the stoop and the size difference wouldn't be noticeable. He also agreed to fix the loose bricks on both the first and second stoop and put in some chicken wire around the whole stoop, which we had requested in an attempt to prevent the annual digging/nesting of skunks and opossums. When he and his crew showed up, they were courteous enough to stay off the new grass seed that I had just planted off of our walkway. For an additional charge, they added paver sand and sealer for the whole walkway and stoop. They got the job done in one day and we were very pleased with the work! We loved how the replacement bricks looked even with the old bricks as a border. They were a little on the expensive side, but I think I got the right value for the price. There were a few minor issues with a couple of things, but after a lot of communication with Pete, they took care to make sure that we were satisfied with the work and the end result.

I live in a new construction neighborhood and have seen a lot of different Hardscape projects installed - StoneMark took great care to make sure they didn't kill the grass on the sides of our house when transporting pavers to the backyard. They also worked with me on my design (which was an amateur pencil sketch) and executed my project to perfection! We continue to get compliments from family, friends and neighbors and are so happy we chose StoneMark to bring our vision to life. You could not find a more caring and respectful crew!

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.

We couldn't have been more satisfied with how it turned out - here's why: 1) Expertise: J.D. used his deep knowledge of botany to recommend an ecosystem of plants that were not only stunning to look at, but that fit together in their respective planting beds in size, shape, color & texture, and bloomed at different times to ensure we had spectacular color from spring to fall. 2) Efficient: Installation of the plants was seamless. His crew was professional and competent. 3) Responsive: A few of the plants needed replacing after the frigid temps & harsh winter of 2024. J.D. immediately replaced them with no questions asked. The most important question one should ask themselves about their experience with any contractor they've done business with is - would you hire them again? Answer: we wouldn't hire anyone else but J.D. for our landscaping needs, especially knowing how important beautiful landscaping can be to maximizing the value of our home.
