"This is the 4th time this year I've used Roger and his company for landscape projects around my house. Projects hve included driveway extension through installation of driveway pavers; planting of 20 shrubs, weeding and shrub trimming and removal of lava stone mulch and replacement with hardwood mulch around my whole house. I can not say enough great things about Roger and his firm. They are hardworking, polite, effiicent, and have very reasonble pricing. I highly recommend this firm to anyone!

"Naper Lawn Work did fantastic job on our outdoor remodel. We had them put in an outdoor kitchen (my husband absolutely loves), gas fire place (the kids love roasting marshmallows), beautiful p**** paver patio, pillars, and outdoor lighting. Its great for entertaining!  My husband and I received numerous compliments. We have even had neighbors ask if we mind if the duplicate our yard.
From the very beginning, Naper Lawn Works has been very professional. They never tried to over sell. They listen to what my husband and I chose and offered great advice and tips to make it look even better than what we pictured.  Naper Lawn Works stayed on schedule the whole time, kept us informed daily as what the schedule is.  All the workers were very polite and even cleaned up their mess everyday before leaving our home. We shopped around for other prices and found Naper Lawn Works not only an affordable price, but they are local. Mark, the owner, was so very nice. I could not have asked for a better guy to deal with. I am someone that worries constantly, but Mark made me feel comfortable and answered my million questions throughout the whole process.
My husband and I are so please with the work, that this spring we will be starting a new project with Naper Lawn Works for the front of our house. I am so excited as seeing how easily and affordable our last project was. I would recommend Naper Lawn Works to everyone. Not only does my family and I constantly enjoy our yard, but its awesome for entertaining, that the whole neighborhood is over enjoying it too.
Thank you Mark and the whole Naper Lawn Works team for everything. We will see you in the spring for our new project."

"Lawncare Plus Design did an excellent job installing a new brick paver patio and laying new sod in my yard.  Maria was very prompt, professional and friendly starting with the initial consultation all the way through the installation.  Her quote was more than fair compared to some of the other contractors I had bid the process and she was able to start very quickly.  Her crew worked very hard until the project was done to meet a deadline for a party we were to be hosting.  I would without hesitation hire Maria to complete future projects

"Green T showed up on time and the gentleman explained everything he was going to do and asked if I had any questions. He went to work and did a wonderful job. I certainly recommend Green T, for Wood floors."

They have been working with us for the last three years and they are still doing more work. They put the bay window in last fall. They are not cheap. Their quality is very good. They are here earlier than I anticipate. The job they did on the storm doors was really good, but they are starting to rust a little bit and it is only a year. He looked at them and he is going to see what he can do with them.

"Half of their work is very good. The other half is mediocre. They patched, acid etched and coated our 58 year old concrete porch with polymer modified coatings. Less than 6 months later the coating is worn and chipping off. They acid etched and coated the garage floor and said it would probably crack someday. Someday was 3 weeks. They removed the old wrought iron railings and installed new aluminum railings whose angles and placement do not match. They still have not replaced the small railing gate protecting the basement stairs. They installed Unilock Pavers. The pavers are basically level. They were supposed to repair and reinstall our chain link fence gate. They dug out one post and reset it leaning north. The gate was worse than before they started. We had to pay someone else to fix it so that it stays closed. They removed and replaced the asphalt driveway and did an excellent job but we spent 2 weeks with the driveway dug down to the clay with machinery and debris everywhere. The two river rock sections are very well done. They work, when they please. They say “we’ll be here tomorrow” and finally show up days later with increasingly outrageous explanations. This project is not finished and we are very displeased with the quality of the work and the way that Uptime Builders do business."

"This was our 2nd use of Pavercare and we remain a customer to this day!

TC, one of the owners of Pavercare, came out and surveyed what needed to be done.  He was exceptionally friendly and professional and put me at ease that they could get the job done right!

Gaspar and his crew arrived on-time and set to work removing the old bricks.  To my amazement, they actually bound our bushes up so they wouldn't be damaged and thinned out dead growth... as I have said in a previous review, they go far and above the norm in their service.

While they were working on my new walkway, another group quickly and expertly fixed my front walkway (installed by another contractor, some bricks had sank badly after only a couple years).  

When they were done, the curb appeal of our home had went up... it looked fantastic!  Definitely, a job well done and I will used them again for all paver-related projects.

THE AFTER STORY.

After a few days of the sidewalk being in place, you could see that there was a difference in the coloring our Series 3000 pavers from what we had originally and what Pavercare installed.  I let TC know and he came out and confirmed.  It was clearly an issue with Unilock's coloring.  At no additional charge, TC actually got a guy from Unilock to come and look at it.  He did some kind of acid wash that removes the haze associated with when they bake the bricks.  Sure enough, color matched!

Once again, customer service far beyond anything we have ever experienced with landscaping-related contractors. You should not go anywhere else other than Pavercare!

"Ware does an excellent job keeping our lawn looking great. They always mow when needed, trim, edge and keep weeds cut back. They are prompt, quick and professional. Our yard has never looked better. We have used them over 2 years and have never been disappointed."
