We're working with Semper Fi and from our perspective, their work ethic and craftsmanship is comparable to no one. The dedication they have for their clients is amazing. Robert is a stand up guy and a fellow Marine. He embodies the values that the corps. taught us and carries them through his work. As far as we can see, we highly recommend this organization. read more

Robert and his employees were incredible. Great knowledge, suggestions and were very responsive. Our yard needed a great deal of work - new edging, new flower beds, new hedges and a couple of new trees. They even moved my firewood and made a new place for it away from the yard. We are enjoying sitting on our front porch and our back patio again thanks Semper Fi. We'll be using Semper Fi for all our future landscaping needs. read more

We hired Semper Fi to do our patio and back yard landscaping in 2013 and were more than impressed with the attention to detail and the creativity of Robert's landscaping ideas, as it was a relatively blank slate. Then a few years later in 2015, we had them tackle the side beds and our front yard landscaping. Same story, but it included super creative uses of what we had planted ourselves back in 2009. It wasn't that we had planted a lot or that we were tied to it, but it was appreciated that they reused the daylillies and hostas along the side of the house to avoud having to throw anything away. We also used Semper Fi for a mulch delivery in 2016, but after spreading 9 yards of mulch myself we decided not to do that again. Today we just got home after our Semper Fi performed our latest spring bed clean up and mulch spreading and it's a brand new yard all over again. We couldn't be happier with the personal service and attitude of the folks at Semper Fi and recommend them at every opportunity. Thanks to Robert, Frannie, Tina, and the rest of the family! Customers for life. read more

Semper Fi has done our home lawn spring cleanup for many years. The 2020 job was the very best ever! Their crew works with diligence, always going the extra mile to make our home look terrific. We highly recommend their services! read more

We have used Semper Fi for our spring clean up for years. They are so consistant every year. The team that works really know how to beautify a yard. We love the quality of the mulch. There is not a piece of mulch out of place when they leave. Superb clean up! read more

Stay away from this unprofessional organization. While living in Batavia, I engaged this company to do spring and fall cleanup and was very pleased with their work. Completely different story when I had them complete spring cleanup as an absentee landlord. Robert, the owner, gave me an estimate to edge, weed, mulch and put down weed preventer. I flew in from another state to visit the property two weeks after the work was done to discover weeds up to my knees, grass uncut, sloppy edging and very little mulch. Robert's excuse was that the property was in much worse shape than he had thought. I think he thought he could get away with a slipshod job as he didn't know that I was planning to visit the property. He then charged me again for redoing the sloppy initial job. Disappointing and disgraceful! And the story didn't end there. After giving him the due courtesy of quietly correcting his mistake, he had the gall to charge me an additional $3,000 to correct his own mistake! Do not do business with this man. read more

We hired Semper Fi to build a patio and landscape our yard when we moved to the Plainfield area several years ago. Robert was great to work with and his team did an excellent job. We've had them back to mulch and plant additional trees since then and the work is always top notch. They came yesterday to mulch and widen a garden bed for me and their attention to detail and desire to do a good job were obvious. They treated my yard as if it was their own. They even went above and beyond by mowing, which I had not asked them to do but greatly appreciated! Thank you to Robert and his team for another job well done! read more

Meticulous and attention to detail is how I can describe this company; Obviously comes from being a marine veteran..Robert and his team presented a beautiful landscaping concept, and executed it amazingly!! They went above and beyond my expectations, and I couldn't be happier with my new yard!! Highly recommend them, I promise you won't be disappointed!! read more

A big shout out and thanks to Semper Fi Yard Service for doing such an incredible job on our landscaping yesterday and today! Those guys work HARD all day long and often in extreme heat and humidity...not a lazy bone in their bodies! Their work is meticulous and the attention to detail is something you don't see much anymore. One of the guys noticed a loose brick on the back patio that they installed a couple years ago and without us saying a thing, he took it upon himself to make it right again. We are so impressed with them and every experience we have had has surpassed our expectations. Thanks, guys! read more

We absolutely recommend this company!! Very professional, great attention to detail, fantastic materials such as mulch and plants/trees. High quality. Several homes in the area have used their services and always stood out with some of the best edging, mulch and designs. They provided us with some fantastic ideas and reasonable stages to create a much more finished look to our newer construction home. Give them a call. Very polite, experienced, professional and worth every dollar!!! read more

I contacted Robert last fall to install sod on our newly constructed home. He was more expensive than others but he really wanted the job and then underbid the others. I game him the job. 2 days before he was to begin he said he would not be able to because the ground was too wet and his equipment would get stuck. He would contact me and do it in the Spring. Unseasonably warm Spring came very early. I did not hear back from him. I called and left messages, he did not call back. Finally he did, no apology though! He told me he would pull the contract and get back to me and get the job done. I did not hear back. I called several more times. He finally called back and said he would have to rebid and thought his costs of sod and fuel might go up a bit. I never heard back. I started calling him day after day and finally he called back. I asked him to come out again to view everything. He showed up several days later and was very late for his appointment. He said he would send us a quote the next day. We never heard back. Several days later I called and emailed him. Finally we got a quote. A quote for $1600 more than the original $6500. I spoke with the sod company and they had not incresed their prices and are not scheduled to until May 31. Gas is up .52 cents per gallon since November. If you do the math for his increase, that would mean that he planned to use 3,200 gallons of fuel to sod a front and backyard. Obviously impossible. If it had been $100 or 200 more I could have worked with him. I called him to discuss and have not heard back. He left a machine message at my work at 6:30 am and I have not heard back since I have left messages. He has been dishonest as well as unreliable. I gave him the job since he seemed to be honest and his having served in the military I thought I would support him. His company is Semper Fi so I think it is important to value our veterans. Unfortunateley, he gives them a black eye with his business practices. I still have not heard back and will begin looking for a new landscaper. Do not do business with this company. They are dishonest and unreliable and has poor business practices. read more

Looks like they have no time to mow someone's lawn. They told me they are not taking anymore contracts this season. Maybe if I had a more expensive project they would find time. Looks like I am taking my business elsewhere. read more

I hired Semper Fi to install a new tree, remove a dead one, and build a brick border surrounding my current landscaping and trees. I came across their website online and filled out an inquiry form. Less than 24 hours later, I received a response to setup a time for someone to come out and survey, and give us an estimate. They turned around the estimate really quick. It was an easy decision for us, as it's a veteran owned business, and they were more professional and courteous than my wife and I had experienced with other companies we had out and they were very fair priced. Due to the crazy wet Chicago weather we've been having, the job got pushed out a few weeks, but that's completely understandable. They did give me a heads up when they were coming out, and they were able to finish the job in one day. They did a stellar job! I couldn't be more pleased. They left my yard and driveway spotless after they had finished the job,and were all very polite and respectful. I even received a follow up call to ensure my satisfaction with the job and was told to call anytime if I ever had a question! Top notch customer service! I will use them for now on for any of my landscaping/yard needs. read more

I chose Semper FI Yard Service to redo the landscaping in our front yard. When I was looking for quotes, they were quick to respond and fairly priced. I had some other home improvement projects going on that needed to be completed before they could start, and Semper FI was very patient and more than accommodating. When it came time to start the project, they were on-time and completed the project when they said they would. I was very impressed with the work they did. The removed the old shrubs and bushes and replaced them with new ones. The rebuilt the block wall using only the existing blocks and some blocks from another portion of landscaping. I was pleasantly surprised with how good it look with how little I gave them to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

If you need a landscape service these people are the way to go!! Family owed business and they are truly nice people. It is way better having a business do your landscapes that actually cares. Such Detailed work 2! read more

It's been almost two weeks since they came out to give me a quote, and I have never received an estimate. And, no, it did go into my e-mail spam account. read more

Semper Fi was called out to do another part of my front landscaping.. I wanted two sections done one small and one single bush planted with edging. I was told my price and would need to do 50% down.. I sent them 50% down and then called to see why the $20.00 disposal fee was on there didn't need that service. I also asked at this time if I could have a senior discount She stated she would have to ask the person doing the work. She called back and stated I could get 5% and she would send a new bill with the disposal fee off and the 5%. Received my new bill and no 5% and the disposal fee not taken off the price. but just written in no charge.Called again and they stated would have to get back to me because she would have to talk to the person again who is doing the work. SO finally got another bill but no $20.00 disposal fee taken off STILL WRITTEN IN! I GIVE Up!!!! paying the bill as is POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Al Naperville read more

I hired Semper Fi to clean out an existing bed and put in new plants. I was told that they would do the tear out in the fall, spray the bed to clean it out then replant in the spring. So I was surprised to come home one day last fall and see that the entire job was finished. I called to find out why and if they had sprayed to keep the weeds from coming back. No return call. I paid the bill and hoped for the best. The weeds and ground cover I wanted to be rid of came back this spring. The bed is almost as bad as it was. I am back to spending a great deal of time weeding. My other disappointment is in the fact that I asked for a variety of different hosta to be planted. As they came up I see they are all the same. I emailed them with my issues and did receive a call back which went to my voice mail. I returned that call which went to his voice mail. He did not return that call. Communication is poor and if you hire them make sure you have time to supervise so your job is done as promised. read more
