  I recently ordered two landscaping items from Down to Earth Landscaping in Barrington and had them delivered on a Friday evening. When Ryan arrived at 6:00 p.m. (already after normal closing hours), I realized I had ordered one of the products incorrectly. I was expecting to have to wait until Saturday for the correction, which would have created a real hassle for my family’s weekend plans. Instead of telling me it would have to wait until the next day, Ryan took the time to walk around my yard with me, asked about the yardwork I was doing, and immediately recommended the right product along with the exact quantity I actually needed. He then drove back to the yard, unloaded the wrong item, loaded up the correct material, and called me less than 40 minutes later to say he was on his way back to my house. Ryan literally saved my entire weekend. He went so far above and beyond what anyone would expect — especially that late on a Friday. His kindness, knowledge, and can-do attitude turned what could have been a frustrating mistake into an incredibly positive experience. Ryan is a godsend and exactly the kind of employee that makes a company great. If you’re in the Barrington area and need landscaping supplies or service, do yourself a favor and ask for Ryan. You won’t be disappointed — he’s the reason we’ll be coming back to Down to Earth again and again. Thank you, Ryan!

  Important: They have two different types of topsoil. If you're building up the ground with a thicker layer, the heavier, coarser soil is the better choice because it's meant for the base layer. If you're only putting a thin layer on top of an existing lawn for leveling or overseeding, make sure you ask for the finer, premium topsoil. Be sure to clarify which one you want before they load your truck. I didn't ask, got the wrong type by mistake, and ended up having to unload it and exchange it.

  Delivery Driver was awesome! Called ahead as promised. Helped with tarp size. Explained where mulch would land once unloaded and verified it was acceptable. Very professional.

  They were here yesterday delivering and installing mulch. They had a large crew and did an excellent job. My yard looks great and I will definitely be using them again next year. They are reasonably priced as well

  Great delivery, early in the day and the driver has skills of a surgeon with the level of precision he has in placing this massive pile of dirt in your yard! Dirt looks and feels great for our needs. May need to order another load, as 10 yd may not be enough! So impressed, we may get mulch too! Thank you for a great "no surprises" experience!!
