Gregorio's Landscaping & Snow Plowing is a full service landscaping contractor serving many of Chicago's Northwest and West Suburbs, as well as much of Kane County and the rest of the greater Fox Valley area. We specialize in providing high quality commercial and residential landscape services.
We are completely flabbergasted at the poor quality of work performed by Gregorio and his crew. He actually drew up a sketch of the sidewalk, 2 sets of steps, and patio to be installed, including measurements. The patio was supposed to be 18x20 , but I measured after completion and it was ACTUALLY 16x18 . Unfortunately, It only got worse from there. He poured concrete up to, and surrounding our electric service box. It will now need to be saw cut around the base to be pulled and replaced as we had planned. They installed a downspout drain under the sidewalk on the side of our house that was not properly graded and the PVC pipe froze and cracked as a result of their careless work. The real clincher is the 2 sets of steps they poured. Both sets look absolutely terrible. They have black fiber protruding from the steps and are rough and very ugly. I wanted to replace the steps for the aesthetic improvements and the end result has to be seen to be believed. The old steps actually looked better than what Gregorio did. We have had multiple concrete contractors look at the work and simply say wow this work is atrocious. I would have loved to give Gregorio a great review, but he simply did very poor work and more importantly, will not do ANYTHING to make it right. As an Honorably Discharged Veteran, I know the value of keeping your word, and doing the right thing. Shame on you Gregorio. You should stand behind your work. The good people of the world fix their mistakes, not make excuses for them. I would avoid this guy, I sure wish I had.

We hired Gregorio's to build us a 3 ft retaining wall. He was very reasonable in price, arrived on time, returned our calls, very professional and payed attention to details. They also cleaned up after themselves. We loved his work so much we called him back to redo our front yard retaining walls someone else had done that we didn't like. They dug up the old wall and redid it, raising it up a brick, adding a topper then cementing everything down. WE LOVE IT. We've gotten so many compliments on it. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone that does an excellent job and that's also very reasonable.

Gregorio & his crew were very professional in their work method. Greg came out & gave me some suggestion on how I should proceed with this job. When I hired him for the job he was prompt & reasonable with his quote. I had a sewer replacement & had him remove the dirt & resod my front yard. His crew was very good at what they do. They were polite and answered all my questions. Did a fine job of cleaning up the work area. I did have another landscaper come out, after a couple delays, he said I should water the mound down & call him next year. I will use Gregorios again in the future.

New concrete sidewalk and front stoop installed efficiently and initially the work looked great. Despite our questions during installation, they did not install expansion joints at the steps, at the driveway, or at the front stoop that sits on a foundation; they poured the entire project with only tooled control joints. Over the period of less than a year, significant structural cracking occurred along the stoop and first step due to differential settlement. We have requested multiple times for Gregario to come out, inspect the cracking, and provide a repair. He came out once only to blame the concrete mix but we have not seen him again. We will have the defective work repaired by another company and attempt reimbursement from Gregario. We are disappointed that he will not stand by his work.

Unfortunately project was delayed due to rain and weather conditions. Once started, was completed in 4 hours and exceeded my expectation. Very courteous and polite crew and performed everything I had requested to be done.

Gregorio didn't write an estimate on an additional step and then said I owed him more money. It wasn't that the price wasn't reasonable, it was that he didn't give me a proper estimate in writing. I want to know the whole cost before I accept a proposal. Very good workmanship.

We like the design and pavers selected but he left the job not completed: patio fence board uninstalled, dirt not spread evenly. We found small spaces between the pavers and the mixture uniting the pavers was uneven and porous. Called him back to finish the job, conditions not corrected.

Hired Gregorio to build small paver patio. The work was done quickly, and looks great. They cleaned up the surrounding area and even dropped some grass seed around the new patio. Gregorio's style is a bit informal, and could be a little unnerving. However, I am glad it didn't scare me away, and recommend his teams work.

Found online and they came out same day and gave me a quote on the spot. Had brick paver driver re-leveled. Matched price from competitor Paver Doctor in Barrington who blew me off on apt and didn't even call to tell me...stay away from Paver Doctor). One week later job was done. Exceeded my expections. Excellent work

I had had some plumbing work done in the spring and it left my front yard a real mess. With some family issues I just put off getting the landscaping off. Gregorio and his crew were outstanding. Gregorio even took me to the nursery to select my own plantings. The work was done exactly as I wanted it and in very short time. I will recommend Gregorio to anyone wanting landscaping work done. I will hire them again when I have other projects to work on.
