"Del Rio's Landscaping did a WONDERFUL job on our garden pathways. They were prompt, professional and did an excellent job. In fact I am hiring them to put in a garden walk way on the other side of my house. Highly recommend them! Brian and Jennifer Gosizk Barrington, Illinois"
"Raul responded immediately to my request for a fall yard clean up. He came out the following day to survey my yard and provide a very reasonable price for excellent work."
"Turf care did a great job of repairing/revitalizing my damaged lawn. I have 2 big dogs, so I appreciated the fact that they use milder/less harmful products. So, while it did take a number of trips before I began to see positive results, I'm quite happy with the way my yard looked at the end of the season, I have renewed the contract for 2020"
"Katlyn and her Auto-Rain team were nothing but wonderful to deal with! I wish all contractors work like her and her company! I initially wanted to complete the irrigation system on my entire lawn but due to other circumstances I had to decrease my budget. Mind you, Auto-Rain's estimate was the best price of all my estimates! Katlyn worked with me and I decided that my budget could only afford the front lawn area. I also referred my neighbor to Auto-Rain so we ended up doing our installations together. Next year, I will definitely have Auto-Rain back to finish up the rest of my lawn! Thank you Katlyn and entire Auto-Rain team!"
"Kevin did a wonderful job on the deck. Disappointed with damage caused on the lawn. Poorly fixed. Drywall patching and painting is okay, could be better ."
"I highly recommend using Tapia Landscaping. They responded quickly to my request, and by the next morning all of my yard cleanup was done. They did exactly what they said they would do, but the end result went beyond my expectations! I will definitely contact them if I have any other yard needs."
