Okay, if you want professional, personal, creative gardening and landscaping, it doesn't get any…read morebetter than Gardens That Grow! I phoned Mary G and she promptly scheduled time to see my garden space, listen to what I wanted to do and how much I wanted to spend. I was under some pressure to get the work done by a deadline and Mary accommodated me by getting the estimate done in a day! It was structured in components of design, plants and labor so I could easily understand it and see where I was spending my money. My yard gets almost no sun and I can't grow flowers, so it had to be a green garden. I had the typical hostas, astilbes, helibores, and columbines before but Mary knew so many more interesting plants and had some very good ideas about how to design my space so it had variations in color and height and texture. She mixed shrubs and ground cover with exotics and bog plants, giving me a really exciting garden! I never knew that my boring back yard could have transformed like this! The best part was that she and her crew were so terrific! They worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned everything up beautifully before they left. Well, no I lied. The best part was how amazing Mary is! She knows all the Latin names of everything, how best to plant, how to prune and care for your garden, and is just a Sweetheart, too!

I fully expected that I would be writing a glowing review for Gardens that Grow. In mid March of…read morethis year, I contacted them by email, detailing the work that I was interested in (annual plantings, lawn care). Within a day Mary got back to me to set up a time to come by and talk. While she canceled the first appointment and was late to the second (which I thought nothing of at the time), we had a delightful discussion when she came by. We discussed significantly expanding the scope of work -- in phases -- to include setting up irrigation for veggie plants, switching out the soil in the veggie planters, and some great longer range projects that would involve more intricate landscaping. At the end of the visit, she told me she would send a proposal. The problem is she didn't. I would email her from time to time, and she would assure me she was working on it. I called her, I texted her, and each time she would assure me she was on it. I even sent her an email saying that it would be helpful to know if she wasn't interested in the project so that I could move on. I got a response to that email from her business manager, who assured me they would take care of it. Over a month passed....then about 2. I got the proposal and accepted it immediately and asked them to get started. They gave me dates, which came and went. There's no question that some of it was weather-related, but I don't believe that all of it was. Eventually, I lost faith. I had someone else come out and give me an estimate, and based on their word that they would get the work done, I sent a short email to GTG. No real apology, though they said they understood. I do believe that under different circumstances, it would have been possible for them to have done a great job. But the fact is that just didn't happen. The reason I'm writing this review is not to say you shouldn't use them. I hope it goes better for you than it did for me. But I do believe they did a very poor job of not delivering for two months, during which time I really didn't need to be begging a landscaper to come to my house so I could pay them to do what they said they would do.

We have been wanting this artificial grass for a long time since our dogs kept destroying our sod…read more I had called a few other places and it took a while for those people to get back to me and when they did give me a quote, it was over the phone and didn't even get the real measurements of my yard. When I contacted Chicago Dream Grass, Joe responded almost immediately and we set up a time for him to come measure our yard and give a quote. He was punctual, polite and one of the most honest people I've ever met. He brought a bunch of samples (like carpet) for us to choose from. After we decided on getting the grass, he explained the whole procedure to us and even told us he'd be making minor improvements (fixing our pavers and retaining wall). Joe's price was significantly less than anything else I was quoted. Joe was able to do the install very quickly and this is honestly the best purchase we have made for our house. The grass is BEAUTIFUL and the dogs love it. We have 2 puggles that love to go and run around on it and lay on it. I can't say anything but amazing things about this grass and I wish we would have done our front yard too-maybe next year!! Thanks for giving a a yard that we can finally enjoy!

We had Joe and his team at Chicago Dream Grass out to install grass in our front yard as well as on…read moreour rooftop. We couldn't be more pleased with the results; our front yard looks fantastic at all times and we love the fact that we don't have to mow, pick weeds or really do any yard work. After the brutal winter, my husband went out there with a leaf blower and literally "vacuumed" our grass and we were ready for spring! We have a dog and so far the doggy waste pick up is much easier. For whatever reason the waste doesn't stick and it doesn't leave a mess, like real grass. We can't wait to let our boys run around on our rooftop this summer to kick a soccer ball or practice putting and even swimming in a pool. It's like we have a giant yard in the suburbs right in the middle of the city. We couldn't be happier with the product. And just like the previous posters, Joe is top notch. A true professional who is so easy to work with.
