Hoy Landscaping Inc

I see them all over Oak Park but never got a response to my request!!!

Hoy kept their commitments and now, about 3 weeks, the grass looks great. Probably shames the neighbors.

Simply the best. I have seen Hoy Landscaping crews around town for years and always assumed that crews of that quality were out of my price range. Man was I wrong. Not only were they so easy to work with and friendly and professional... but they were the BEST price in town. As a bonus the guys who came to do the work gave me several pointers on other plants and bushes in my yard that will save me more money than I paid them in the first place. I will definitely call Hoy for my landscaping services in the future.

I had tried in vain to finish up the summer yard work of weeding and mulching and just really needed this done quickly and at a reasonable price. Hoy was quick to come out and do the estimate and once I got that, I called to pay the deposit and they were out the next day and completed the work. The trimmed up overgrown shrubs, pulled the last of the weeks and put down mulch in the areas I had not gotten to. The beds look so much better!

Last fall, I hired Jeff Kain of Hoy to prune all the bushes so that they would look nice again. He said he could do some of it right away and then the rest, he would need to prune in the spring. Sure enough, by late February, like clockwork, Jeff called to say he'd come to trim the bushes in a few weeks. They showed up more or less when he predicted and I was surprised when they were done. The bushes were so hacked down. But by this time, after having had several conversations with Jeff, I knew I could trust him to know what he was doing. By April, some of the bushes were green from top to bottom and some looked like they might not do so well, but Jeff affirmed that all was well and sure enough, it's mid-June and all of the bushes look great!
 
I have now also hired Hoy to do the mowing and lawn maintenance. I am very happy with their service. They have a large group and they go so fast they are done with mowing and edging in about 15 minutes on a double lot.  The yard looks very nice. But for the great pruning experience with Jeff, I would not have thought of using Hoy for yard maintenance, but I am grateful to have someone so knowledgeable about plants taking care of our yard whenever we need it. You can trust Jeff with your plants and I recommend him highly.

The price for the deep weeding was very competitive and Hoy did an absolutely wonderful job!  They cleaned up all my weeds and made my yard look wonderful again!  I am thrilled with the job they did and will not hesitate to keep them for next year.  
If you want prompt service and competitive pricing, please contact Tim at Hoy Landscaping.  You will not be disappointed!

We never heard anything after the initial visit for the estimate. There was no follow up with an estimate by the designer who
came to our house. In fact, when I did not hear back from them, I called them in a few months and asked them why they never responded.  The lady on the phone checked and called me later to inform me that the designer actually never prepared an estimate.  She said that they will do it and will send it to me in a week or so.  I never heard back from them.  If they were not interested in the job, a simple email/phone would have been sufficient.

The contractor told me it would take about 4 hours. It took them 6 but they did not charge me any more. They protected the gas so the Bobcat bare made any marks at all. They dug out all the roots they could. They raked the loose dirt back into the now empty shrub beds. They left no dirt on the sidewalks. They hauled away all the old shrubs! Wow! Did they do a great job.

The provider was very easy to schedule. They responded within a day and were able to set up recurring service electronically, which was very much appreciated. Since then the team has done the job well for a reasonable price. They bill automatically monthly. Everything has gone smoothly and is super easy.

I had read the reviews on this Company before even contacting them.  The biggest complaint seemed to be their  turn around time in responding to initial contact, and then to provide the actual quote. 
I sent an email to the Company on 9/10/14 letting them know that I was aware of that general complaint  and was hoping not to experience it. I then indicated what we wanted a quote for.
I got an email from the Company almost immediately,  letting me know that so and so would be contacting me regarding this quote.  So far, so good.
I then received an email from the actual person that was to provide the quote, great!   He nicely asked if we wanted to be there for his visit or could he stop by anytime.  I said anytime.
He then indicated that he would be by that day, or the following day. 
I didn't hear from him right away.  I followed up with an email on 9/11/14 asking if he had a chance to stop by, he indicated that he would be there at 11:30 the following day, 9/12/14
When we got home that evening, his business card was in our mailbox with a little note right on it that he had been there at 11:30 AM.  Great.  But there was no quote, which surprised me.  We had already gotten another Landscaper to come out, he called us while at our house and gave us the quote right then and there.
Pulling of stumps really isn't a very complicated job, it's basically a timed job. 
But I figured, OK, it's because we've been communicating by email, so I fully expected to get a quote by email.
I didn't received anything that day, so I followed up with another email early Saturday (9/13/14) stating that we were hoping to get the quote so that we could make the final decision quickly and have the job done quickly.   In our heads, we gave him until Saturday evening.
Nothing. 
We called the other guy on Saturday evening,  and got the job done this morning (Monday) !  That's the kind of service everyone should provide.
 

We contacted Hoy Landscaping earlier this summer shortly after moving into our new home.  We were looking for someone to assist with fall cleanup, reroute some drainage, and look forward to redoing some of the plantings in the spring.  The initial call was helpful and easy to schedule an appointment. 
The contractor who visited our home did not want to address our inquiries regarding ways to improve the landscape appeal of our home.  We discussed the drainage and fall cleanup and were told to expect a quote in the near future.  One week later, we still had not heard from the company.  I reached out to them and provided my email address in case that would make follow-up easier.  As of today, over 3 weeks later, we have not heard anything from this company.  I am highly disappointed in the lack of responsiveness from this company, and disappointed given the other overall very positive reviews.
