Pat and Midwest Landscaping did a great job on my yard. The plants had literally taken over and we had some poison ivy growing between our fence and the neighbor’s. In one morning they trimmed things that had gotten too big, moved plants to space them out better, weeded and got rid of the poison ivy problem. Really the best part was that they used all of our own plants, so we didn’t have to buy anything new. Whenever we need more help with the landscaping, we will be calling Pat.

Midwest landscaping crew was very friendly and knowledgeable, they worked fast and cleaned up after the work was done. I have a beautiful yard that I am happy to sit in and would definitely hire them again for my future landscaping needs

I had the pleasure of talking to the owner and crew. Right off the bat you can tell they are people of integrity. They take pride in what they do, and truly care about their customers. I highly recommend them and will happily refer them to my friends and family.

Pavers and Hardscaping Service
$12,000
There were large gaps between the pavers at the end of my driveway. When Pat got here, he convinced me to do additional work in other areas of the driveway. On the next visit, Pat said I should cut back some trees and shrubs around my property. A mature birch tree and an evergreen shrub was cut down to a stump, while I wasn't home. This appears to be part of his MO - as he added many things to the "verbal contract" every chance he got, doubling the contract price without providing any paperwork or receiving any signed approvals. Then when it came to payment he REQUIRED CASH. I am a small Asian woman and when questioning the quality of work he got visibly frustrated and shouted at me in front of my 8 year old that "[he] should have known better than to deal with a...." at which point I asked him to leave my property. The "great job" he did leaves my driveway looking aesthetically worse than when he started, and my pavers are still shifting - wish I could upload a short video.
Response from Midwest Landscaping Design & Tree Service Inc

"I was called out for a renovation of property. I walked around with the homeowner and pointed out the birch was half dead and evergreen next to driveway was overgrown. We both agreed it should be cut down. The homeowner then asked if I did pavers. She said she got quotes to replace it, but they were too expensive. She suggested if I could just repair what she had. I told her I could remove some of the sunk bricks(which turned out to be 2/3 of her driveway) and put down gravel and put down polymeric sand. When removing the bricks I noticed the bricks were severely worn. I sent the homeowner pictures and told her I would do what I could because they were so worn. When driveway was done the homeowner called and said some of the sand didn't take. Went back and put sand on driveway again and noticed in the garage there were severe cracks in the cement. I questioned the homeowner and she replied. "There may be an underground spring". Which is why They are so worn. I have several pictures and videos of the work being done. As far as being loud and arguing that never happened. The racist comment she is saying is totally ridiculous. 90 percent of my crew is diverse. Please everyone review the before and after pictures. There are no sinking bricks when we were done as you can see in our pictures. If you go to google and put in our company name, the last 13 photos are of the homeowner's driveway. I do have video, but it doesn't allow them."

Midwest landscaping did a much needed front yard design in the fall of last year. They recently removed a overgrown hedge. Pat and his crew did a great job. Look forward to having my yard mulched this spring

It was fantastic. So pleased with my decision to go forward. Gave me estimate quickly. Design ideas which chose to do. The most professional group of workers I have dealt with. Was going to do just the front yard. Ended up doing the entire yard. It’s beautiful. I highly recommend them.

Prior years Past Experience - Very Good, no drama, very professional April 2019 Experience - No Contract, now implied contract is based upon text messages. Midwest Landscaping provided a sample picture of dry creek bed followed by text messages of differences, Started and finished in one day. Completed project nothing close to picture. Complained the next day. Owner extremely confrontational and very unprofessional, This project is changing from "Disaster" to "Nightmare". They have turn this into a "He said, She Said" Situation. All emails, text messages and phone call can be confirmed through subpoenas, the verbal confrontations through witnesses, etc. if this situation continues to escalate. Facts are: He sent a sample picture with a description of the variations. Pictures of the project clearly show the quality. Their website has a "Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed" Yet, the Owner has been confrontational since April 23rd when I had contacted him regarding the quality of the work and clearly expressing my displeasure. I have tried to document the status of how the grass seeds have been growing and not growing. We have never attempted to grow grass through seeds - between the rain and the seeds not poperly covered, this has been one of the worst experiences which has been magnified by Midwest Landscaping unprofessional behavior and his inability to remember what was agreed upon including "$6,800 for everything". When I attempted to clarify my explanations, his response remain confrontational and would follow up with "Not in the contract". Unfortunately, i went into this landscaping project with Midwest Landscaping believing the workmanship, his workcrew, comunication would be the same at our previous experience. Sunday, May 12th, I sent a text message and a message through their website believing Pat Campion had blocked my cell phone stating in my text message "to let me know if we are able to come to an agreement." Since there was no contract signed and I paid both the deposit and the remaining balance before the job was complete, the only way to resolve the "implied contract" is through text messages and emails. My last text message was my message to Pat on May 12th. I have taken screen shots documenting any correspondence that was received with the date and time. I never received a response after my attemp to reach and agreement . In theory, if a message was sent and no response received, Midwest Landscaping, came to my house when I was not home. proceeded to remove a Hydreangas Tree from our back yard and replant it in the front yard, had a heated confrontation with our local landscaper who was at our house clearing weeds and planting perennials. This situation escalated and 911 was called. Midwest Landscaping should have never stepped onto our property especially if we were not home and they had absolutely no right to demand our local landscaper leave our property when she was the only one who had our permission. When the owner and his wife decided to remove the Hydreangas tree from our back yard and replant it in the front yard without our knowledge and permission - this is property damage ie. vandalism. Now we are facing an additional expense of moving and replanting a tree that should have never been moved. As I have learned today after numerous calls to tree service companies and landscapers, established trees should not be replanted due to potential damage to their roots.
Response from Midwest Landscaping Design & Tree Service Inc

"All work was completed as discussed and agreed upon. Deposit was paid on April 18, balance was paid on April 22 after work was liked and balance was paid in full. Also Angies list doesn't allow pictures to responses but I have a email from [Member Name Removed] stating "Pat was suppose to move the hydrangea tree in the back to the front since the hydrangea are poisonous to dogs and re-glue the brick by the steps. Both were installed by your company previously. He quoted $6,800 for everything including a butterfly bush. What is going on-the project was not handled not even close to the past project. There is a guarantee on your website. Why was the job handled so differently from the past job". So their statement about not asking for the tree to be moved is a bald face lie. which shows the character of the people we have tried numerous times to satisfy. The tree was moved to the front and butterfly bush planted as well as the brick glued. The project is complete. Both the BBB and the Attorney General have reviewed the complaint from this customer and after reviewing closed the case. Customer continues to badger our company and name on social media with no merit!"

Midwest Landscaping did a top-notch job on my front yard. I had 2 trees that needed major trimming, along with thinning of an over abundance of hostas. Pat was very personable and friendly, making it easy for me to voice my wishes and concerns. He explained in detail the big branches he would cut, where and how he would place the flagstone paths & outcropping stones and also the new nursery stock his workers would be planting. He and his team were quick and professional completing their work and clean-up in one day. They moved and re-planted some of my existing plants too, expertly placing them and changing my helter-skelter overgrown hosta carpet to a beautiful park-like setting. Beginning with something that looked overly oppressive & shady, my front landscaping now looks light, airy and welcoming. My curb appeal has just gone up 100%! Pat and his team of professionals were fabulous!

Pat and his group did a great job of a remodel of my landscape with special attention and update to areas that get little sunlight. We are very pleased with the results. Have tried other landscapers, some on A. L. and feel this company is superior in its expertise, plant/muclch recommendations and quality/professionalism of work done.

Response from Midwest Landscaping Design & Tree Service Inc

"Really disappointed in this review. This is a neighbor of mine and I drive past her house almost ever day. My company put dirt, graded and seeded this lawn. We asked that she keep the soil very wet for the grass seed to germinate. We stopping by several times to tell the customer to water more. We even went out to her house and regraded and reseeded 3 times. I did see her out once hand watering and stopped and told her it need a lot of water that hand watering is not enough. It needed a sprinkler left on it to soak the seed so it would germinate. This has been a dry summer and if the customer does not follow water instructions properly how can I be responsible for grass that won't germinate for lack of water. I have went out 3 times and reseeded I'm sorry your feel the quality was bad but it is your responsibility to maintain the watering needed to grow grass."

It as a good price. His responsiveness was not what I had hoped it would be. I had called this spring because he has a year guarantee on his plants on the planting. I had called before Memorial Day. He has yet to come out and treat the plants. So, they are not that responsive.

Very disappointing. Showed up unannounced and with no appointment. Pat changed his estimate when he arrived. Demanded cash payment before work was completed. Did not complete trimming of back shrubs. Ruined grass in front yard by setting tools in grass. Became verbally abusive when questioned about payment and services rendered. Paid a lot of money to get treated so poorly. Very unprofessional. I am the HOA president and will definitely not recommend to my neighbors.
Response from Midwest Landscaping Design & Tree Service Inc

"So unfortunate that you do a favor for a customer and they leave a review like this. Truth be told Midwest Landscaping did work for the [Member Name Removed]'s last year and then they called us back this year. Mrs. [Member Name Removed] was told that last years estimate was way under priced for all the work performed. Midwest would not be able to honor that quote this year. But because you were a return client I would let my crew do your job for the same price on a weekend and you could pay the guys cash. Midwest landscaping was not making any money from your job. The job took almost 9 hours. The [Member Name Removed]'s also had the men do work that was never estimated. So in short I guess I have learned a lesson."

Pat and his team did an amazing job on a total makeover in February no less!! We recently finished a home addition and needed lots of pathway, stone, and yard work. Pat's team handled all of this while grading all of the land around the structure to assure proper drainage. They went above and beyond the scope and i truly believe he treated our yard like it was his own. The crew worked extremely hard and responded to several requests for adjustments. They cleaned up after every phases. I heartily recommend Midwest Landscaping!!!!

We are extremely happy with the quality and artistry of the landscaping! Unlike a previous company we hired for landscaping, Midwest put in larger bushes and denser landscaping right off the bat, so it looked great right away! They made wonderful choices of flowers and plants. They exceeded our expectations with the quantity and quality of their landscaping. When they came back to prune and do maintenance and mulching, they did a wonderful job again. We highly recommend them!

Mr. Campion apologized for the slow response time (meaning phone calls weren't returned the same or the next day) - he explained that this was a very busy time for them. But they did come out and do the work within a week of the estimate visit.
The crew consisted of three pleasant, hard-working young people. I asked them if they could, while they were here, to trim the Rose-of-Sharon bushes, and they did.  (From about 8 feet tall to about 6 feet, which made further pruning manageable for me).  That was not part of the estimated work and they had to use human-powered nippers/loppers.
The cleanup was well-done.
