In the spring, JD and his team solved a major draiangae problem in our new homes' front and back yards. JD also beautifully designed new landscaping for both the front and back of our home, while even building a dog run for the pup! Once again, he was promot and responsive to all questions. We highly recommend JD and Green City Gardens!

A year later, two of the 7' evergreens are dead and 1/3 of the other plants are dead. Have reached out to JD via phone call/VM and text SEVEN times and he will not respond. VERY unprofessional and he has not honored the warranty he promised. Save your money and your energy and find someone else....

I love my Garden now…read more.. I have lived in my home for over 20 years. I inherited a lovely garden, and made a game effort at upkeep, but time has taken it's toll. Barb with Nature's Path was able to transform my garden at a reasonable price that actually allowed me to view my new landscaping with pleasure rather than cringing each time I stepped out the door. Barb brings a vast knowledge of plants, and was able to pinpoint what would work best in my shady garden. She spent quite a bit of time walking around the yard with me and queried me carefully about my favorite colors plants etc. during our initial consultation meeting. One year later I was surprised to see her back for much of the day making sure the spring plantings were well underway. In addition, she was able to transplant some of my 20-year-old plants that I had nurtured over the years that I could let go of. The plantings that didn't take in my walkway are now doing fine in various corners of the backyard . She is always quick to respond to any questions. I can't recommend her highly enough ; I only wish I knew about Nature's Path 20 years ago

In looking for a natural landscape design, and I found in a search a magazine article on this…read morecompany. I needed help with my new largely unlandscaped Chicago lot. I know the flowers and plants that I would like, but from consultation, soon found out that some plants might not grow well where I actually wanted to put certain flowers or trees or shrubs. There are a number of aspects to consider-- full sun, or in shade; native to midwest or not; aggressive vines (that might hurt other plants) versus vines that might be compatible with the flowers I wanted. Barb had so many good suggestions, and also gave me information on each plant regarding structure (vertical and horizontal), practicality, and how parts of the gardens would grow over time (maintenance and longevity). I really got an education and I am very excited for my future garden.

I can't say enough about Nature's Perspective, the crew and our rep Mark Watson. We've used a few…read moreof the other big landscape services on the north side of Chicago but have always been let down by the quality and service they provide. We're not a huge account, a 16 home townhouse HOA, but they treat us no differently. For us some of the key call outs are: * They are not out to sell you more than you need. A good case is point is our bushes in front were looking ragged so I asked for a quote to replace them. Marked recommended that they just do a detailed hard pruning, which we did at a fraction of the cost. Two or three years later they look fantastic. * They can get grass to grow where others couldn't. We have large maple trees and lots of shade. There was one section that always looked bad. The last landscaper even resodded it but the sod was gone in probably 2 years. Nature Perspective continually reseeds areas that need it. That section of grass has never looked better in the 10 years we've been here. * With Fall season lasting longer than normal, our previous company would disband their crews long before all the leaves have fallen. Nature Perspective keeps their crews on into late Fall doing the last clean ups after nearly all leaves have fallen. * They are environmentally conscious where possible and making efforts to be so even more so. A good example is during the 4 or 5 years we've used them they always shredded up the Fall leaves and spread them around as mulch, versus hauling them off to landfills. If you're looking for a new landscape service, there's no one I could recommend more highly than Mark and his crew at Nature's Perspective.

We began our conversation with Salvador about a year ago. We had just torn down and rebuilt our…read moregarage and needed to landscape the back yard. He came out and provided us with an estimate and drawing, which we loved. However our neighbors were doing a construction project as well that caused us to have to hold off on our project until this year. Salvador came back out, adjusted the original plan to account for the work the neighbors had done, and ultimately provided us with the back yard of our dreams. It was completely worth the investment and worth waiting for. Salvador, Maria, and the crew were great to work with from beginning to end. Salvador is creative in his designs and very knowledgeable about the plants he brought in. He and the crew were dependable and did really great work for us. Highly recommend.
