  I spoke with several landscape designers for my big backyard renovation, and I am so glad I chose Cricket Pavers & Outdoor Landscaping. Kai was an excellent listener and really understood the look and function I wanted for the yard. The crew completed every part of the landscape plan quickly and made the whole outdoor space look beautiful. What stood out most was how flexible they were with my budget. Their pricing was far more reasonable than other landscaping companies, especially for the amount of work included. The estimate was detailed and clear, listing each part of the project so I knew exactly what to expect. Kai was also easy to reach throughout the job, always responsive when I had questions or wanted to discuss changes to the backyard design. The team was professional, calm, attentive, and very hard-working. Before the project, our backyard was overgrown, outdated, and difficult to use. They transformed it into a clean, attractive, and functional outdoor living space that fits our needs perfectly. The work included removing large pine trees, clearing heavy brush from a steep hillside, demolishing an old retaining wall, installing fresh groundcover across the slope, building a new retaining wall, laying new grass, and adding proper yard drainage for better water flow. They also removed and hauled away a large amount of old concrete and kept the work area neat each day by cleaning the patio and tidying up before leaving. I also appreciated the thoughtful extra care from the crew during the project. The finished landscape design looks polished, practical, and welcoming, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish.

  I agree with the other 5-star reviews. I recently hired a landscape designer and installation team to renovate my yard in Oak Park using a design plan, and the whole experience went very smoothly. They followed the layout with great attention to detail and also shared smart ideas to improve the overall flow, planting, and usability of the space. Throughout the project, Lucas and Kai communicated clearly, kept us updated, and followed through on everything they said they would do. They listened to what we wanted, answered questions quickly, and made sure we felt comfortable with each step of the landscaping process. What really stood out was their knowledge of sustainable landscape design. They helped us lower water use with practical planting choices, efficient irrigation suggestions, and a yard plan that fits the warm California climate while still looking attractive and balanced. Their guidance made the outdoor space both beautiful and easy to maintain. The finished yard feels inviting, functional, and much more enjoyable for our family. It has the right mix of hardscape and softscape elements, and the final result looks polished and thoughtfully designed. I would highly recommend this landscape designer and team to anyone looking for dependable service and skilled landscape work.

  We recently moved into a new community in Oak Park and wanted help with our backyard landscape design. After seeing a neighbor’s yard project and how polished it looked, we reached out for help with our own outdoor space. Since our newly built home only had dirt and rocks in the backyard, we needed a complete landscape plan from the ground up. Lucas created a beautiful 3D design video that showed a clear vision for the yard and included all the features we wanted. The final landscape turned out just like the design presentation, which made the whole process feel easy and well planned. We are extremely happy with the workmanship, planting layout, and overall backyard transformation. Our outdoor living space now looks stunning, welcoming, and professionally designed.

  The landscape designer turned our backyard goals and ideas into a complete reality. What started as a steep dirt and muddy slope became a beautiful, usable outdoor living space with a well planned layout, strong hardscape design, and a custom deck that tied everything together. We absolutely love the finished result. What stood out even more was the excellent customer service from Lucas and the crew. From the first design meeting through the planning process, everything felt organized, clear, and easy to understand. They made it simple to talk through design ideas, budget, scheduling, and any adjustments along the way without stress. This was a large landscape project, covering about half an acre, so having a team with real experience gave us confidence from the start. They provided clear direction, thoughtful landscape design, and quality workmanship throughout the whole job. The yard now feels functional, attractive, and perfect for spending time outside in the warm Oak Park weather. They truly know landscape design and outdoor construction, and they were great to work with from beginning to end. I would absolutely recommend them and would gladly hire them again.

  We had our full front and backyard landscape design and installation completed, and the whole experience was excellent. We are so happy with how everything came together and how well the new outdoor spaces fit our home and lifestyle. The team was very flexible while coordinating with other contractors, which helped keep the project moving smoothly and on schedule. Kai and Lucas were honest, fair, and very easy to communicate with. We really appreciated the regular updates, quick answers to our questions, and the clear guidance throughout the landscaping process. Clarence was great to work with on-site and took the time to make sure every detail was handled properly, from the planting areas to the hardscape and overall finish work. The crew showed real care for the quality of the project, and it made the entire experience feel organized and stress-free. We truly felt like we had a strong partnership with the landscape designer and installation team, and we are enjoying our beautiful new yard every day.
