We have only been customers of Laslo for a few weeks, but so far are thrilled with the customer service and quality of work. 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. Their truck showed up 5 hours later to take care of our yard. We are looking forward to continuing to use them for snow removal over the winter as well as yard and lawn care starting this spring! read more

I used their website form to ask if they could handle a small simple hardscape category project in my yard. woudl have been pretty easy and fast for them. 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. read more

I sent and email asking for an appointment to quote work. Owner responded very quickly and said they don't service Lombard, IL. I appreciated the quick response. read more

Called made an appointment. Day of the appointment no show, called and apparently the owner Mike completely forgot about the appointment. He came over about 30 minutes later, we discussed the project . Told him my budget and would love to see his design ideas. He immediately wanted to know how many bids he was competing against which I thought was completely inappropriate to ask me that question. He told me he would get back to me..it's been about 2 months and nothing. Even if he would have decided to do a no bid, he should have at least given me a courtesy call, but since he totally forgot about the appoint, I should have figured it would have turned out this way. I thank Mike, since the owner didn't see fit to bid, I found a landscaper who got my vision and was very reasonably priced. Don't call Mike unless you want to spend lots of money. He appears to only like large jobs. read more

Not sure what the person was thinking with the bad review? I have used James on 2 new construction projects, and everything was done perfectly and in a very timely manner. He also did a great job on the hardscape and patios! I also use him for weekly cleanups at my home and have had no problems. If we need something extra done, he is a phone call away. Going to post some pictures of the completed construction jobs. read more

Laslo completely changed our front and back yards over the past year. James' vision is classic, beautiful and easy to maintain. He listened to what we wanted and didn't want and delivered. He is available to his clients directly and delivers a speedy product to his clients. read more

Laslo re-landscaped the entire yard. The work was of high quality and done quickly. Billing was often wrong (charging for service not rendered), and I had to correct. In addition, the follow-up was horrible. The owner did not return calls. He was not responsive in any way. It took 3 months of calls to get them to come back and replace dead plants. In the end, I called once more only to get cussed out by the owner. He was irate and unprofessional. I would never use again. read more

I give full recommendation of Laslo Landscaping. We needed to have our storm damaged deck replaced. Laslo gave us a competitive price. The workers were in perpetual motion. The workers were very respectful of us and our property throughout the entire project. Our patio is exactly as we envisioned it. Thank you Laslo Landscaping. read more

Went with James' company because they could come for a fall clean-up relatively quickly. Quoted $150/hr (3 guys @ $50/hr). James advised the job should take between 1-2 hours. I had previsouly had the yard down for ~$125 with two workers, so I was comfortable paying more to have the job done quickly as I couldn't reach my previous landscaper. The lawn admittedly looks great. Only MAJOR problem is, I just received a $700 invoice, including a $100 "dump fee" that was not disclosed. There is also debate as to whether or not his guys showed up one day, which I was billed $150 for one hour's work. (I was home at the time they say and would have known if they were there because my dog would have gone nuts barking at guys outside the window where she sits!) Who in their right mind would pay $700 for a "Fall Cleanup"? It's a residence, not a commercial property... When I called James, he gave me the run-around about the costs of doing business, paying employee insurance, etc. I'll pay him the $600 (excluding the Dump Fee), just to forget about this experience. I should have found a landscaper on referral from someone I trust. Hopefully Yelp users can "trust" this review and choose elsewhere for their landscaping needs. read more

I've used Laslo Landcaping not only for my own landscaping needs but also for the landscaping needs, installations, and restorations of my customers projects. As owner of a local construction and remodeling company I have trusted Laslo Landscaping to not only get the job done on time, on budget, and efficiently but also done RIGHT! From immaculate hard scape installations to jaw dropping soft scapes I have always been impressed. Laslo Landscaping will always get my business. James (the owner) has immense knowledge and creativity in the landscaping world...this is what sets Laslo Landscaping apart from "the rest" in my book! read more

James' crew did amazing work: transplanted three beds, planted seven bushes, cut down a tree, removed vines from chimney, removed a fence and some railroad ties, and dug an entirely new bed...all in a single day! read more

We moved into an old house last year and the backyard was an eyesore - cracked cement sidewalks, old postholes, dead grass, really ugly. On top of that, the yard flooded every time there was a big rain. I interviewed five landscapers to do a hardscape renovation and ended up selecting Jim Laslo. He listened, understood what we wanted, and came back with a fair estimate. We hired his company to do removal of old sidewalks, and to replace them with brick pathways and a new brick patio, as well as to fix the drainage problems. His crew did a fantastic job and the end results is beautiful. We now have a backyard we can enjoy and are proud of. read more

I've been working with James and his crew for 9 months. I used to use the cheapest landscaping crews available in Hinsdale but got fed up when they would either do a bad job or I'd have an issue with the bill. I found the "cheaper" crews had little or no customer service and if you had an issue with the bill the person they would have you call didn't speak good English and nothing got resolved. My next door neighbor had the worst lawn on the block and was also using cheap landscaping until last summer when she started using Laslo. Laslo resurrected her lawn and made her place look amazing. I was reluctant to call Laslo because I thought they would be overpriced. James Laslo, the owner, met with me directly and gave me pricing that was competitive with the landscapers I was using. I made the switch and since then have been extremely happy. James is always a quick Phone or text message away. He stands behind his work and will do whatever necessary to make things right. If you live in the western suburbs I highly recommend contacting James Laslo. You won't be disappointed. read more

We bought a house and the landscaping was horrible. We called James based on a referral that we received. James and his guys came over and completely transformed are yard. We went from the worst yard on the block to the best. All the work was done according to the plan we discussed with James. Very happy with the price and the timely manner it was done and the overall product we received. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that wants great landscaping. read more

The team at Laslo's went above and beyond expectations executing an absolutely thorough job on a newly purchase home landscape that needed TLC. Manicured to perfection and looking forward a long standing relationship. Highly recommended, happy customer! read more

We were very impressed with the crew. They installed new shrubs and trees. The new look is very appealing. They said that the landscape would not need a lot of work which is what we want. The price was ok. We will see. read more

For years we have put off landscaping. We contacted James who had absolutely brilliant ideas. Our front yard now has curb appeal. In fact, people slow down to look at it. The wall he designed is beautifully handcrafted. The shrubbery is delightful. I found the workers to be pleasant and hardworking. I found James to be creative with alternative ideas as we changed our minds frequently. If you want an awesome landscape that is easy to care for, breathtakingly beautiful, then you must call James Laslo! read more
