"Very communicative and responds to concerns. Overall an excellent company to help with outdoor needs. Would definitely hire again."
Melesa L. in December 2022
Areas Of Expertise: Landscaping & Sprinklers
"They are AMAZING!!! I am so happy I found Luis and his team. Although my project is listed as "sod installation" it was a yard cleanup and front yard cleanup/tree trimming that I needed. They are super professional, efficient and fairly priced. Luis came out for an estimate and started work right away. Everything we agreed upon was done as per our agreement and Luis and the team very very flexible on additional requests and gave me a fair price for everything, They did A LOT of hard labor - pulling weeds, pulling shrubs and cutting down shrubs/trees. They were truly amazing and I couldn't be any more grateful for that! Luis is scheduled to continue my complete yard overhaul and I can't wait for the final product as my plans combined with his vision and expertise are sure to render an awesome outcome. I can't wait!"

"Work completed as promised. Florentino was always in communication with scheduling and progress. Florentino was very flexible with other contractors and was able to assist in future planning. I would highly recommend his services. Removed old sod and even an old tree stump. Prepared the soil and evened everything out before laying new sod. Cleaned my entire property and seeded existing lawn. Made sure he and his crew cleaned up after every day of work. A pleasure to do business with. 5 stars"

"We h ve lived in our current home for the past 25+ years. Our backyard has gone from grass and a jungle to a child s playground and then to a lawn and bags court. We had a huge sugar maple tree in the center of the backyard, which deflected the neighbor s tree from taking out our house about 14 years ago. We have survived 3 microbursts, but lost our maple tree with the last one and replaced the old patio and installed a much larger version. While we were trying to plan out our backyard, we admitted to not having green thumbs nor much in the landscape design department. Then we came across Dean of D&D Landscape and Sprinkler Services, Inc.. Dean came out immediately and from the first meeting impressed us in all areas. When we look for contractors, we research their reviews and referrals, we also want contractors with confidence who love what they do. We were very impressed on all those fronts with Dean and his company, D&D Landscape. Dean worked with us and more importantly with our budget. We met and reviewed his plans and were very desirous of Dean doing the job. He came in at our budget and we agreed to move forward. His crew, headed by his son Dustin was not only extremely professional, but very good about taking direction and cleaning up. They were all very polite and courteous. Before the project started Dean assured us that when he was done, you will not recognize your backyard ! He and his crew got rid of our schmutz as he called it and produced a spectacular outside living area which is like a retreat or oasis and yes we had a hard time recognizing that it indeed was our backyard! We are now proud to show off our backyard and have received rave reviews from our family and friends. Some of the words/phrases that have been uttered are: Magical, Gorgeous, Spectacular and well-manicured park like setting. Dean insisted that we would love the drip sprinkler system and low voltage lighting system as well, stating lighting is addictive ! Once again, he was right on the money. The drip system is a breeze and works like a charm. Our backyard lights up like the Morton Arboretum and frankly looks pretty much like it! Another area which is always a good sign is when your contractor is busy, but not too busy to take care of you! Dean has and continues to provide us with care and updates on our finished project. We are eagerly awaiting next year for the front and side yards to be completed. We can' t get it done this year, because we both are just too busy. While we absolutely love our patio, Dean insists that he could have done brick pavers for less money! Oops! We guess great work produces many referrals! We already have friends, co-workers and family lining up for Dean and D&D s information! Way to go D&D Landscape and Sprinkler Services, Inc.!"

Tips and Tricks for Hiring the Right Landscape Contractor
Finding the best-suited landscape contractor near you makes a huge difference in whether you’re happy with the outcome. Once you get a listing of landscaping companies in Chicago and read reviews, it’s time to move to the next phase, which involves contacting some of the landscape contractors.
Be mindful of a few key factors as you vet potential landscaping businesses. You should think about:
- Required credentials. Credentialing requirements for landscapers vary by state. Find out whether a business is credentialed in your local area to take on the type of work you need completed. If you have doubts about a business’ credentials, vet them with state and local licensing boards or the Better Business Bureau.
- Liability insurance. Always go with insured landscaping contractors to be sure you’re safe from liability if anything goes badly.
- Appropriate landscaping experience. Do your best not to hire a contractor to put in a fountain and plant trees if the contractor’s sole experience lies in general yard care. Look for landscaping companies that have experience with jobs similar to yours.
- Scheduling. The best landscaping businesses may not be a good fit if they’re unavailable. Ask about schedules prior to making the hire.
How Much Do Professional Landscaping Services Cost?
The amount you’ll pay for pro landscaping services relies, for the most part, on the difficulty of job you plan to have done. Compare, as an example, charges for mowing with the costs of tree removal. The typical price of grass mowing may range from $50 to $220 per mow. The median price point for pro landscapers to take down and remove trees can range from $200 to $2,000. A project, like planting flowers or making a small garden, can range from $300 to $3,000. However, a more complicated project that involves whole-yard landscaping or installation of structures such as fountains, decks, or walking paths can cost from $15,000 to $50,000, depending on the labor and raw materials involved.
Knowing how much a prospective landscaping project can cost is crucial to making a wise decision for your lawn. Discussing your needs with a pro landscaper in Chicago is a good way to get an idea of the potential cash outlay. Pro landscaping companies can write up estimates after discussing your job with you and visiting your the yard.
