Best retaining wall installation pros near Manhattan, IL

"November 13 2025 I hired Elite & Elevated Construction & Excavation to complete excavation, footings, and foundation work for a large project I was working on. I invested about $55,000 in the project, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. The job was completed perfectly and on time, even though the weather conditions were terrible. We had snow, rain, and freezing temperatures, but nothing stopped Mario and his crew. They showed up every day, worked efficiently, and stayed committed to getting the job done right and fast. I truly appreciate their dedication because I needed the work completed quickly, and despite the weather challenges, they delivered exactly what they promised. Professional, reliable, and hardworking team. I would definitely recommend Elite & Elevated Construction & Excavation, and I will absolutely hire them again to install my concrete driveway in the future"

"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!

"I contacted Naper Lawn Works and they responded in a timely manner with an appointment.  They provided us with a landscape design and irrigation layout.  It turned out to be a very beautiful landscape with irrigation.   The total job was completed in a timely and professional manner.  We do receive alot of complements from friends and family.

"While it took quite a lot of effort on our part to finalize the colors, pattern, etc, once scheduled, the crew promptly showed up every morning on the job, worked with the village inspector to ensure the base and landing step construction met local codes and best practices (village required a deeper base than originally laid by the crew).  They worked quickly and with as little disruption and as cleanly as can be expected.  
After the first winter, there was some settling along the house due to filling in a window well done by another contractor.  I called Maria and she came out, took a look, and sent her crew out to re-lay the area and backfill to make things right at no additional cost.
Overall, we are very happy with the end product and would recommend working with Maria and crew as long as you have a pretty decent idea of what you want in terms of design.

"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."

"The Sunnyview crew did a great job! We had the front and backyard re-sodded, a pine tree removed along with all the old yews, junipers and other old growth, plus had a retaining wall built in front. Juan worked with us to create the new landscaping and went out of his way to get the exact type of bushes we wanted. We have a privacy fence and additional plantings scheduled for the fall. We hired Sunnyview to trim existing hedges and maintain the lawn for the season as well. I would highly recommend Sunnyview - it was a pleasure to work with Juan and his crew!"

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.

"Ben is very professional and has great attention to detail. He is also very good with keeping you informed with telephone calls He removed an existing fence and installed a new pressure treated shadowbox fence for me. He did this for significantly less than other fence companies. He also repaired a ventilation problem in my attic with a logical method that no other repairman I called had. This also saved me hudreds of dollars. I would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend and would call him again without hesitation."
