  We recently had our backyard project completed and are incredibly pleased with the results. Our yard had seen better days... we bought the house like this. It had not been taken care of in a very long time and really needed a huge intervention to make it a nice place for our children to play. We interviewed MANY landscaping teams, but Greenwise stood out above the rest from the start. First, they had actual knowledge of trees. We live in Evanston, and this is critical due to the permitting process. We also have knowledge of tree species and wanted someone who knew about them too and appreciated them ( and didn't just recommend chopping everything down... which was what we heard a few times). You do think this would be standard with every landscaping company and it was absolutely not. Second, we wanted someone who would work with us on our vision, who was excited about design and who would also be cognizant of our budget and we found all of this in Gannon, who was our project manager from Greenwise. Gannon took the time to provide sketches, give informed opinions, make edits when we requested and also sent us on site to Lurvey's, where they order their materials, to see and pick our stone ( with a list of recommendations on what to look for so that we weren't going in blind). Permitting took some time ( typical of Evanston) but it would have taken even longer if we went with someone who wasn't familiar with the process where we live. Gannon stayed in contact with us and let us know where the process stood. When everything was finally approved, Green wise was able to hit the ground running.... this is when we met Raul. Raul was our day-to-day project manager from Greenwise and he was absolutely phenomenal. In chatting with him, we learned about his love for landscaping ( it showed in every single thing he did.) He made sure our brick and stone layouts were perfectly aligned and visually pleasing, made recommendations on some switches that he thought would look better ( he was correct) and worked closely with Gannon to help the vision come to life. The team worked so hard and so well together. We appreciated how much respect everyone had for each other and how that translated to excellent communication with us and an excellent final project. Any changes or recommendations were run by us first and clearly communicated and there were zero ego's, everyone was focused on giving us the best outcome possible. In the end, Greenwise delivered an excellent project for us. We are very grateful to have this beautiful space for our kids to play and look forward to building lasting memories here. Nice things to note are that before Greenwise came in, our backyard flooded HORRIBLY. Since they finished we've had several weeks of strong rain and haven't had any flooding at all. They regraded the entire back yard and it was clearly done well because it resolved the issues we had. Full scope of work: -cleared the entire backyard and salvaged materials to reuse( huge task, the yard was an absolute disaster and had huge chunks of concrete, etc that needed to be cut and removed) - new stone patio - new brick walkway - re-grading of entire back yard to help with flooding issues - sod installation - planter bed dirt and mulch installation We asked that everything be prepped for us to do the plantings as a family. Photos don't fully show the stone and brick work but I will add when I can get some better shots from below. Notice the alignment of the path with the garage though 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼, nothing is a mistake. The yard also wasn't just overgrown, it was a complete land mine of mess below the surface, bad soil, concrete foundations, etc.

  Lawn care was excellent. Yard looked great after staff visits. The service is pricy but the yard looks better for it as we near the end of the season. There were a couple of errors made; one time I wasn't happy how the office chose to handle it and the other time I don't know if the error was made by the office or workers. Take those away and I'd have added another star. Either way, all in all, the staff coming to my house did excellent work.

  If you need flowers for next summer- Chud Osborn from Greenwise did a wonderful job choosing and planting my flowers this summer! He is professional, knowledgeable, creative, and a pleasure to work with. His care, attention to detail, and creativity truly show in the beautiful results. My garden looked was blooming throughout the summer and it looked beautiful. . I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Chud.

  As a result of a wet spring and a hot, humid summer, our usually beautiful yard turned into a jungle this year. We contacted the folks at Greenwise and they immediately came to our rescue. Within no time, we found their communications to be a blessing in punctuality, detail and collaboration. They really walked us through a step by step description of work to be done after their representive walked the yard with my husband who pointed our our concerns, and the rep presented him with options to remedy our overwhelming situation. Yesterday, a crew of courteous and obviously experienced young fellows showed up bright and early and got right to work on our project. They worked diligently non stop for several hours and at the end of it all, we were truly astonished at the terrific job they performed and the absolutely beautiful transformation our yard underwent. Greenwise has surpassed our expectations in every way, communicating with clarity, promptness and expertise, and we enthusiasticly recommend them. We are so grateful to have found them.

  I like to leave reviews at the end of the season so I can really attest to the durability and overall aging of the work. Our family had two separate services completed by Greenwise so I will comment on those separately: Firstly, we noticed we were getting a lot of wildlife (including a deer family) crossing through our front yard which made all our landscaping cascade into the alley. I contacted Greenwise for their custom landscaping design services to see what we can do to better guide the wildlife around our yard instead of through it. I had the idea of a short stone retaining wall that would keep the landscaping from tumbling into the alley. Heather from Greenwise came out and spent a good amount of time hearing my concerns and offering up solutions. She was very thorough, kind, and educated on the matter. Overall, Heather went above and beyond for us and we really appreciate it. The Greenwise team that came out to complete the job worked safely and efficiently. They kept everything neat and were cautious to not negatively affect the surrounding landscaping while they worked. The stone wall came out looking fantastic and the replacement tree is one of my favorites now. I would highly recommend Heather and Greenwise for any custom landscaping services. The second service we contacted Greenwise for was for lawn care mowing and maintenance. Marco came out to survey our front and back yard and explained the details of the services they could provide. He, too, was very kind and did not push any unnecessary additional services on us. The Greenwise team have been coming once a week every week to maintain our yards and they always do a very nice job. We also added on their natural weed control protocol and I think it has made a noticeable improvement in our lawn. I do wish our house could be serviced on a later day in the week, though I understand how with existing scheduling, it is not always possible. Nevertheless, I would also highly recommend Greenwise for their lawn care and maintenance services and look forward to using them again next year. A big thank you to the Greenwise team!
