Hedge Trimming Services in Skokie, IL

“I highly recommend this company! Poul's has done all of our landscaping design and installation since our house was built. We have used their services several times during our phased-in landscaping approach. Their very talented landscape architects' designs are beautiful and they take the time to meet with you to determine the best plan for your specific area, tastes, lifestyle and budget. I really like the fact that they have their own nursery and you can walk their property with a professional to pick out just the right tree or shrub if you want. The trees they planted for us several years ago were amazing and continue to thrive providing us with beautiful shade in just the right spot. Most recently, we've cleared out a brush line and Poul's designed and installed new flowering bushes and perennials which have completely changed the look of our back yard.”

“As Owner of a design/build firm specializing in residential and commercial renovation that has been in business for 30 years I highly recommend Ruby Barnes as a top quality landscape designer and installer. I worked with Ms Barnes from the start of her career and have always been impressed by her knowledge and skills. Her scale drawings are accurate and her designs are functional, out-of-the-ordinary beautiful as well as sustainable. I am always happy to recommend her to my clients.”

“My patio, complete with fire ring, walkways around the house and to the front door are beautiful. However, the pond with fountain and landscaping is my prize completely designed and installed by Grant and Power.”

“I've used ALL AMERICAN for ten years. I have no plans of changing that. Always a great job and always on time.”

“Nature's Perspective has great ideas, listens well to yours, thinks through how to landscape to best represent what is desired and what will work, given space, soil, climate, expectations.”

“Spirited Gardner Julia Bunn in 2014 helped us design and build a rain garden for our condo that successfully and beautifully diverts storm water into our front yard in Chicago. Julia clearly explained which native plants would do well in our shady, sandy spot, and she provided us a clear map for our new garden. On "dig day" she did an excellent job of corralling our volunteer crew to ensure we correctly dug our rain swale and planted our plants. Julia also provided guidance over the summer on routine care and on how to put our garden to bed for the winter. I'm looking forward to seeing our rain garden evolve as it matures over the years. Overall, hiring Julia has been one of the best investments our condo has made in the past decade.”

“Greenhaven re-designed my small patio in 2012 with perennials that compliment the setting and my color preferences. They presented a draft design, in detail, including photos of the recommended plants placed in the suggested locations, so I knew exactly what was going where. Their landscapers are professionals, from design to implementation and upkeep. Dave Hoxsie or another manager was present during each visit to oversee the work and answer questions. Just look at their website to see the extent of their professionalism.”

“I hired Greenwise 2.5 years ago.. They have served as both my monthly gardeners as well as garden project designers/installers on three major projects. I hired this company because I believe in their mission. My experiences have been very positive overall. The quality of the work is outstanding. I have a beautiful view from my back deck thanks to them. Makes my summer. They work hard to combine excellent eco-friendly services with fair prices. All personnel I've worked with have been professional and kind. I highly recommend this company.”

“They accidentally killed my 3 potted plants so they gave me 6 astilbes for free and planted them in a part of a garden i've had no time to get to.”

“I'm a resident in a 12 townhome "U"-shaped community with a courtyard and two "wing yards" stretching along the public sidewalk. Our landscaping at the beginning of the year (2016) consisted of 15 full grown trees, some shrubs, and struggling ground cover with a great deal of bare areas. The 30-foot trees dominated the landscape, inhibiting plant variety for lack of sunlight. Additionally, when it rained we experienced soil erosion spreading mud over the public sidewalk and courtyard walkway when it rained. This spring we (the townhome owners) decided to contact McAdam Landscaping for a remedy. Our contact person was Scott McAdam who presented us an elegant design. It called for the removal of all but two of the trees, arranging to have Davis Tree Care to handle that aspect (which they did very professionally), and the substitution of six ornamental trees and a wonderful variety of shrubs, conifers, perennials and ground cover laid out in a flowing, very aesthically-pleasing arrangement. The graphic plan placed little demand on us to envision what it would look like in the end. Scott worked with us to make a few minor adjustments that reduced the cost appreciably without departing from the overall design, displaying patience as we worked through the cumbersome internal process of deliberation, approval and payment collection. The plan was approved by the owners of all 12 townhomes at the very end of August and the job was completed in September. We are quite pleased with the final product. The mud erosion problem has been arrested. A neighbor who is an experienced gardner herself shared this: ""Scott's thoughtful design and vision has brought new energy and fluidity to our community courtyard. The use of native plants addresses our need for a low maintenance, high impact green space pleasing to the eye, and increasing our property value & appearance." Another neighbor added: "I also really appreciate his [Scott McAdam's] attention to color in all seasons. I loved how the bushes and trees turned this fall, and look forward to seeing the colors in the other seasons as well." The frog of a landscape we began the year with has been kissed. It's now a prince.”
