About us
The independently owned and operated business has been shaped through owner Jason Becker's inspiration from nature. Jason was born in Chicago and moved to Winthrop Harbor, Ill., when he was ten. At that time, Winthrop Harbor was rural and non-developed and he experienced the undisturbed outdoors. While living one mile from Lake Michigan and with access to forest preserves in Wadsworth, Ill., and Illinois Beach State Park in Zion, Ill., Jason became energized by these landscapes. He naturally became involved in landscaping and has subsequently pursued a career creating unique outdoor spaces. To educate and inform homeowners about year-round landscaping possibilities and services, and to share with homeowners the long-term effects and improvements one may achieve through landscaping.

Very disappointed that the damage done to the back of home from the lawn mower has yet to be corrected. Jason came to look at the damage, photographed it and said he would follow up. I have not heard from him since. My last text message to him on 11/5/14 has gone unanswered.
Update: all repairs were made and we will continue to use Becker Landscaping.
"The weather was extremely cold in November and it was too cold for outside paint. Although, when it warmed up we fixed the issue. Yes, I did not respond and should of. My apologizes. Jason"
I should explain that the B in communication is trending upward. I am a ruthless (read 'anal') communicator and it doesn't come naturally to Jason but the efforts he has made in that direction are obvious. He is aware of my stringent requirements and is trying to meet them. The reason I did not grade price is that I really don't have any basis for comparison - I typically don't 'shop' for services, but rely on my gut and relationship with the contractor.
Considering the configuration and population of trees (lots of Ash) on my property, it is certain that I will have a continuing need. I am grateful I have found a service i can rely on in this specialty.
The work itself went well, with the exception of some miscommunication around the trees being cut down. I'm not sure where the miscommunication happened (with me or with them), but instead of 2 of 3 trees in a group of trees being cut down, all 3 were cut down.
