Gabriel Mondragon, the owner of Gabriel's Landscaping, has been taking care of our property for the…read morepast 20 years, and I can't recommend him highly enough. Finding someone who consistently delivers outstanding work for two decades is rare, and Gabriel has earned our trust year after year. Over the years, Gabriel has completed just about every landscaping project imaginable for us. Most recently, he helped us redesign our landscaping by removing several trees, expertly pruning overgrown trees, building beautiful raised vegetable and herb garden boxes, installing high-quality artificial turf that looks incredibly natural, redesigning our irrigation and drip system, and installing beautiful landscape lighting that completely transformed our yard in the evening. He also rebuilt our fence, making improvements that will help it last for many years. Rather than simply replacing the fence, Gabriel installed the fence posts in concrete to help prevent future rot. That kind of attention to detail and long-term thinking is one of the many reasons we've continued to rely on him for two decades. What I appreciate most about Gabriel is his honesty, craftsmanship, and commitment to doing the job right. He listens carefully to your ideas, offers thoughtful recommendations, and never cuts corners. He and his crew are dependable, hardworking, respectful of our property, and always leave the work area spotless. After 20 years of working with Gabriel, I can honestly say he is one of the most trustworthy, reliable, and talented contractors we've ever hired. His pricing is fair, his workmanship is exceptional, and he truly stands behind his work. If you're looking for someone to maintain your landscape or tackle a complete outdoor renovation, I wholeheartedly recommend Gabriel's Landscaping. From irrigation and lighting to fencing, tree work, artificial turf, and custom garden features, Gabriel consistently delivers beautiful results. We feel fortunate to have found him 20 years ago and look forward to working with him for many years to come.

Yup, the hits just keep on coming!!…read more After years of doing my own pea gravel bed in a section at the back of our property, we took the plunge and hired the professionals, and Gabriel and his wonderful crew did not disappoint!! The work was done quickly, efficiently, and carefully, with zero harm to my backyard grass!! The pea gravel bed is generously deep, we had several bamboo plants added, and we're enjoying our backyard like never before. Now we have our fire pit back here, lawn chairs, and chill together at the end of the day!! Thank you, Team Gabriel's, for another FANTASTIC JOB WELL DONE!!!! Soooooo highly recommend Gabriel, Romeo, and all of Team Gabriel's for any and all of your landscaping needs!! We're looking forward to the next project...AGAIN!!

Danny Jackson, owner of Total Tree Care, texted to me from 847-257-3988 and was unprofessional and…read moreunwilling to answer basic questions. Intentionally unhelpful and argumentative, he called me a "pain in the ass" (see the e-mail chain below from 12/15/25). I was willing to pick up burr oak rounds that Total Tree Care had left in a customer's driveway at Red Oak Drive in Highland Park, Illinois, as Total Tree Care did not want to pay to discard (thus, "free" rounds). See photo from Danny's Craigslist ad. I expressed my desire to use the wood to smoke meat, but wanted to know a simple answer of why the tree that Total Tree Care had cut down had died. I was polite and respectful. The response that Total Tree Care gave to me follows. Here's the end of the chain, starting with Total Tree Care: Monday, December 15 2025, 09:49 AM Message from Total Tree Care: Dude, it's free wood... take or leave it. Please don't bother my customer or block drive way for long Monday, December 15 2025, 10:04 AM: Message from you: I'm simply trying to find out if it is safe for my family to use for smoking meat, which you surely know is different from burning in a fireplace. Respectfully, is there a reason you will not tell me? Monday, December 15 2025, 10:13 AM: Message from Total Tree Care: You're asking questions that cannot be answered. Monday, December 15 2025, 10:14 AM: Message from you: Oh. I thought you would know how and why it died since you cut it down. No? Monday, December 15 2025, 10:16 AM: Message from Total Tree Care: What diseases do trees get that transfer to humans? Idk Monday, December 15 2025, 10:23 AM: Message from you: Maybe I wrongly assumed you are an arborist and if you are one, you would recognize that if the tree died from a fungal disease (like Oak Wilt, which is common for burr oak), burning wood with fungus can impart terrible flavors to food and, more importantly, could release potentially harmful spores or toxins into the smoke that settles on the food. If the homeowner tried to first save the tree with pesticides, these would leech into the wood and when burned, are unhealthy. That is why those questions I asked are important. But, you still have no answers? Monday, December 15 2025, 10:29 AM: Message from Total Tree Care: Thanks for the lesson, why can't you tell from picture? December 15 2025, 10:30 AM: Message from Total Tree Care, Do you think I'm gunna ask the customer if they used pesticides for you to pick up free wood?, Monday, December 15 2025, 10:31 AM: Message from Total Tree Care: I don't know bud and might as well forget it. I got someone else Monday, December 15 2025, 10:33 AM: Message from you: I was going to hire you to take down a big tree here. I'm not so sure anymore.

I understand that things happen and appointments sometimes get missed. However, missing two scheduled appointments with absolutely no call, text, or communication is unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. Taking time out of my day twice to meet with someone who simply doesn't show up shows a complete lack of respect for a potential customer's time. If this is how they handle basic scheduling and communication before even becoming a customer, it does not give much confidence in how they operate their business. Very disappointing experience.
