They work for my apt complex and they are horrible ! Cut the grass around debris so they don't have to pick it up . Then blow all the clipping into the corner . They are the worst ever read more

Finally got the damage from their staff hitting my car fixed. No response to any of the many messages left about the repair. "Her son backed into my equipment", to the ins adjuster. Difficult to do to the front end of a car parked in the driveway at the time. read more

The terrible bushes in left were done by Tomasello's. My mother, 87, paid $2000.00 for these spindly shrubs! Tomasello's should be ashamed!! They planted while she was out of town and she couldn't believe it when she saw them. Is this the quality or lack if that you stand behind??? read more

This is purposely a one-star rating - only because this site won't allow ZERO! We hired Tomasello's Landscaping on a recommendation this past spring to remove non-viable plants and to replant, along with flowers. What we got were only plants with minimal flowering, some of which were dead on arrival (I witnessed one being planted). Now only a couple of months later, along with those dead plants, we have an unbelievable number of weeds that have grown up through the cheapest, thinnest mulch anyone could ever use (have pictures to prove it). Their work really looks terrible, and when we complained soon after the job, we were treated in a very surly manner questioning our ATTITUDE. Please! That was a one-way street. They seemed to be really afraid we would demand our money back or block the payment (which we would have been justified in doing), but a good company would consider our complaint and do the right thing - replace or refund. Good old Jim said no replacements, no refunds. (Buyer beware!) Because we hoped some of the plants might come back with more care, we decided not to demand our money back. Big mistake. Dead is dead. If you want to waste your money, this is the company to go with! Now we get to hire a reputable company and pay more to clean up their mess - yay! read more

***This review is from work that I had done in June of 2018, I just forgot to post it. Read the whole thing if you are even thinking about considering this company!!! Once they have your money, this company could care less about you and the work they have done. Of course no one should pay unless they are 100% satisfied, but in my case, it was impossible to see the results immediately after the job was done. I had bushes ripped out, grass seed and a grass blanket laid down on an entire side of my house, new landscaping in the front, new plants, etc. Grass is not growing in various spots where they laid the grass seed and blanket down because the crew left pea gravel everywhere. I watered that 2, sometimes 3 times a day. I should have just flushed my money that I spent on my water bill down the toilet because watering did nothing. They also did not level this area, so now when I water or when it rains, water settles near my house. I also had a mess of a disaster of bushes in the backyard. Originally (February 2018), I wanted them to remove it all, then once everything started to bloom in the Spring, I decided I wanted to try and salvage some plants if I could. When the crew got here, including Mr. Tomasello himself, they started hacking away at everything and left me with a splattered looking lilac bush that also had something else growing inside it. I completely understood why they had to cut it down so much, but the bush was growing sideways. By the time I saw the end result, the people that came with all the digging equipment were gone. Great. Speaking of Mr. Tomasello...when he was at my house, he asked me why I had everything on the side of my house ripped up. I explained I had other plans for what I wanted to do (fence being put in as you will read below). His response was, "you must not have a green thumb." ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?! Keep opinions like that to yourself. So unprofessional!!! I emailed about 3 weeks after the job was done because I was concerned with the grass seed blanket and the tree I had planted in the front. The tree was crooked because they didn't tie it down. Gina came out. She told me everything was fine. I did not agree, but how am I supposed to argue with her? Here is the funny part about this. I am having other work done from another company in my yard. When they were here working, one of them commented on what a crap job that was done on the side of my house. They were referring to the grass seed and blanket. You know you're not crazy for thinking something was so very wrong in the first place when a stranger offers an unsolicited opinion to you out of no where. So, that is the quality and value of work that Tomasello's is proud of. I then called to inquire about the lilac bush in the back that was growing sideways. Shannon the secretary was one of the rudest, and most demeaning people I have ever talked to on the phone. I told her I wanted it removed and she kept insisting that it would grow normally and that I just had to wait until next season to see for myself. How would you know Shannon?? You have never seen it! Then she kept saying, "do you know what next season means??? That means TWELVE MONTHS FROM NOW the bush will be okay. So, you will have to wait until summer is over, fall is over, winter is over, then spring is over." Seriously Shannon? I don't care how long she has worked there or how close she is with these people, no one should ever be treated this way by anyone and there should be consequences for her poor choice of words, aggression, and lack of customer service. Side note: When I got a fence put in there were a couple things wrong after the job was done and after I paid. That company and all associates went above and beyond to come and fix the problem and made sure I was 100% happy in the end. Just to be clear, this was months after they had all of my money in their pockets. In comparison, this just goes to show you the people that work for Tomasellos don't have that kind of work ethic. I had planned on using Tomasellos next season for Spring cleaning (see Shannon, I know what seasons are), but I am so happy to pay someone else to maintain my yard. Oh, Mr. Tomasello did attempt to call me after I spoke with the unbelievably intolerable Shannon, but I refused to pick up after they sent me a quote for removing the lilac bush they didn't dig out and to even out about 10 feet of my yard. The quote to do that work was $500! Remember all that work I said I had done? The amount I paid to get ALL of that done was a little, and I mean a little, over double that amount. They must of thought I lost all my brain cells thinking I would even consider paying that. So, I knew he wouldn't be able, or would just refuse to fix what was wrong, so I chose not to waste anymore of my time with this company. ***2020 update: Tree in the front is still crooked and I still have so many patches on the side of my house where grass still hasn't grown. Thanks a lot, Gina! read more

No stars because of being Sloppy and Careless. No respect for neighboring lawns. Crystal Lake homeowner has neighbors grass clippings from Tomasello crew blown into our yard almost every week. When crew is asked by neighbor to be more careful they speak in Spanish like they don't understand. It is really that they don't care. When we hire a lawn service, it definitely will NOT be Tomasello's no matter how cheap they are. read more

Gina worked with me to find exactly the stone I wanted for the retaining wall. The precision with which the men installed the blocks made certain everything was in line and level. The bushes we had were overgrown and just made the yard look unkept. It is a beautiful change. I would definitely recommend Tomasello's. read more

I think Scott R must be on drugs! They were a pleasure to deal with and super helpful. Best service of any landscaping company we have ever dealt with. read more

I have used Tomasello's since 2013 for snow removal and lawn care at our business in Crystal Lake. They are professional, timely and priced right. Great company - highly recommended. read more

The guys who come out don't give a hoot about doing a good job. I have noticed how they show up and get the job done as quickly as possible. Thanks Tomasellos for blowing grass on my car. Annoying as that is, the real issue is the string trimmer guy has almost completely eaten through some of the supports for my kids wooden play set. Same treatment for wooden fence. These guys simply don't care. Look elsewhere. read more

Jim, Kiana and their entire crew were a pleasure to work with! Very timely, professional and made a huge impact on our yard. They took down 3 large dead trees, rototilled and seeded the front yard and really did a good job with landscaping bushes and shrubs. We have already recommended them to family members and trust they will do a good job for you too. read more

Have worked with them in the past and they are currently doing weekly mowing and trimming. They do a great job and are easy to work with. The key to any service like this is communication and just letting them know what work needs to be done. read more
