We offer only the best quality workmanship and professional courtesy. We specialize all phases of commercial and residential landscaping. We are committed quality work and outstanding results & are strongly involved in local community activities. We look forward to working with you!

"Juan was recommended to us by neighbors in an area Facebook group. He came out and gave a very reasonable quote. Our biggest issue was prickly weeds everywhere in our backyard, so much that our toddler couldn't safely play. In addition, we wanted overgrowth cleaned up and Juan suggested we add some mulching. We agreed. When trying to schedule, he tried changing the plan from a 1 time job to a 3 part job for 3x the cost. After a bit of back and forth, we went with the first estimate. When he finished it looked great. We watered every day, per hours instructions. A few days after, I checked under the mulch and found he didn't lay the garden fabric as was included in the contract. I contacted him and he brushed it off a bit and said it wasn't necessary. Eventually said he'd come back and redo the weed treatment as compensation for not doing the fabric, which we agreed to. He never came. No fewer than 3 times he said he'd come and didn't. Now he won't respond to any communication. "

My putting green wonâ  t be installed until May of this year because of winter weather in Chicago area. My rating of work quality is not based on my incomplete property installation, but on the the installations that I saw. Bill W"

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Grayslake, IL

Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers. 

When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

A paver patio can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years, depending on the type of pavers and how well you maintain them. 

Travertine pavers are usually the most durable, lasting 100 years or more, with regular maintenance. Concrete brick pavers have a variety of shapes and colors available and typically last 25 to 50 years. Traditional brick pavers have a more classic look, lasting around 20 years with proper maintenance.

Landscaping costs around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:

  • Location

  • Yard size

  • Project size

  • Materials

  • Land preparation

  • Type of landscaping

Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000. 

The cost of a paver patio is $3,800 for a 280-square-foot patio on average. Depending on the patio size, paver material, and design complexity, this cost can range from $2,400 to $7,000 or more.

The size of your patio is a significant factor in the project’s overall cost. If you're building a smaller patio of only 60 square feet, your costs will be closer to $480 to $1,500. If you want a more luxurious 900-square-foot patio, you'll spend closer to $7,200 to $22,500.
