Lawnboyz Landscaping, Inc in St. Charles

What a Wonderful Experience ! From Jodi in customer service to Derek and his Crew ! Always attempt to use local contractors, without exception Lawn Boyz exceeded my expectations! Keep Up the Great work Derek!! From pricing to experience, to completion on-time, and wonderful clean up !

Horrible experience will never get help from you again

Keith and Bonnie were paramount in completing our landscape dreams. From design to being the GC of a major job(pool, hardscape, electrical, gas and more) they handled it all with flying colors! Their crews were super polite and professional, I had no fears leaving for work and leaving the family home or on vacation while they worked. All in all I felt the price was fair and the work was above and beyond. Thanks Keith!

They were amazing to work with and exceeded all expectations!!!

I am a retired horticulture professional, specifically in ornamental landscape. So of course, my expectations were high when I contracted with LawnBoyz. I give the design a 10, installation a 10 and super smooth communication throughout the process. Very satisfied!

Hi! This is a 2 part review: First, a review covering help we got this summer from this fab company, and then second is the original review I wrote a couple of years ago! I include both so you can see just how extensive their talents are! Thanks to LawnBoyz Landscaping we look like we know something about creating a beautiful lot! What we do know is how to call them when we have a problem (drainage issues) or a wish (garden and lot DESIGN and rocks! rock! rocks! Oh, and boulders, and pavers and mulch!) or when we need maintenance work (edging on flowerbeds, addressing driveway weeds.) We just had them back this year, and once again, Keith, Chad, Bonnie, Matt, Jose and team exceeded our expectations! We had pavers put down, a beautiful giant boulder brought and placed, a clean up and spading of the edges of my flower beds and mulch put in the flowerbeds and by the base of the parkway trees. Thank you, ALL so much! (Original review to follow) We have used LawnBoyz Landscaping for two homes. In our last home, they cleared an overgrown backyard, leveling it, putting in sod, adding gorgeous hardy plants to make it gorgeous, built a custom firepit and made it a paradise. And they ve topped that effort in our new home in fall 2021! Here they did it all, including adding landscape rocks and boulders, gorgeous shrubs, sod where needed, adding and replacing hardscape and pavers (which also addressed drainage problems the previous owner had) and made this a showstopper. The thing with LawnBoyz is, once they trick out your lot, your imagination goes wild and you start to have fun with the possibilities. Matt and crew (every one of the crew takes the care of your property personally) are smart, hardworking and professional. Bonnie is a landscape architect who has great ideas while also working intelligently with your own vision. She is also very responsive. Chad and Keith are priceless with their knowledge about any and every problem or concern you have for your property.

These guys were brilliant! The work was top shelf and the clean up was immaculate. You would t even have know they were here. Also the customer service was brilliant. 10/10 reccomend

Quick, efficient and got the job done very professionally. I would use them again as a general contractor in the area. Great work.

***Buyer beware Do not purchase any trees or do any landscaping with Lawnboyz We purchased 10k worth of spruce and maple trees from Lawnboyz and prepaid them in full. In turn we were told there was a 1 year warranty. 4 of those trees died. We have reached out over the last 2 months and Chad (the owner) told us to give it time. We did and finally told him we need them replaced. He then proceeded to send his vendor (a man named Gary from spruce trees direct) and wanted me to deal direct with this random guy. I paid Chad not Gary. Gary says he only warranties trees to people that take care of their trees. What?! I don t have words. Chad has been hiding (this is a trend) and finally told me he would replace them for $5000.00 Side note*** (This is the $5000.00 he came up with for a different project we paid in full for, that he says he didn t charge enough for after the fact and asked us for it) in fact, he begged me to go to a meeting to argue with his other vendor to help Him collect it. He proceeded To tell me he couldn t make payroll. This is not my problem as a customer to make sure he can pay his employees. I did feel bad that he is having such a hard time managing his business but that is not my Responsibility to help him collect money and then just give him money because he needs it Working with them is bad business. ***this company will try and do extra work without asking and then will try and bill you. They will then say they cannot make payroll. It s a scam.

I have been a customer of Lawnboyz s for over 5 years. They are great to work with and always leave our lawn/yard looking professional. We had them install a patio using pavers a few years ago and just had them do the same in the front. After living here for almost 30 years the entry looks amazing! Why did we wait SMH!! I highly recommend them. Chad and Keith are wonderful to work with as well as Stephanie and Bonnie. Check them out, you won t regret it.

We used LawnBoyz to install a new brick paver walkway and stoop, they did an outstanding job. We could not be happier; they exceeded our expectations and provided a competitive price, great craftmanship and communication. Would highly recommend them!!!

We had Jason and his company over the 4 years at two different properties providing lawn care and clearing the snow. In the begining we were getting what we were paying for, however this came to a halt. We understood a couple of misshaps with the snow, where the snow was piled against the garrage. When we moved to Georgina we asked him to handle the grass, and 2021 was ok even though towards the end job was not finished , no trimming and weeds hard to control on both sides of the chain link fence. This year we were asked to pay more, and we did. However, the lawn care was a joke. His team started to mown the lawn 3-5 feet from the bushes on the north side of the property. Trimming was a disaster and ended up with 2 foot high weeds. We decided to get rid of this company and do it ourselves. I asked Jason to return the key from the gates in June, and he gave me the royal,asap. Well it s October and he has not returned the key yet. I will report him to the Police. I do not recommend Jason, for any of his services.

Years of issues with a patio built by this company. They blamed the soil, the stone, the water - anything they could think of besides themselves. Replaced several times, created additional issues. Promised discounts, later revoked the promised. I remain with issues and they do not answer phone calls or texts. Polymeric sand not holding, comes up in chunks every rainfall. Fireplace valve fills with water and freezes, unusable. Unresponsive throughout experience. Prices for both hardscape and landscaping were much higher than competitors. 100% avoid this company.

Had a very large bush in the front. They cleaned it up nice and it looks great! Will be calling them back next time I need more work done!

Chad and Keith are the best. Everything was done on time, and in a very professional manner. Competitive pricing. Highly recommend for any landscape project!!!

We had Lawn Boyz do a complete overhaul on our front landscaping. We are very pleased with the quality of plants and detail that went into planning our project. Will definitely hire them to do future projects.

We had a fence installed in mid October and the gates did not line up with the walking path the former owner installed. We also needed some significant modifications to our sump and gutter drainage before Winter. Unfortunately most landscaping firms were already done for the season. After an unsuccessful search, our tree guy recommend Lawnboyz, saying they were high quality at a fair price. Lawnboyz came out and gave us a design for a new path that would greatly clean up the look around our house, and a plan to handle our drainage needs. They also gave us some upgrade options, such as using crushed limestone (bluestone) for our path. We signed our contract and that night a huge rain came. The problems with our sump line got worse overnight. I called Lawnboyz in the morning and they were able to schedule us for the following day! The work took two days to complete and the end result is absolutely beautiful. The bluestone walking path and cleaned up garden area turned an eyesore into a focal point. The underlying drainage system is now designed correctly and flows water away from our house when it rains or the sump pump runs. We are new to the area and are grateful we found a responsive local landscaping firm that we can use for our future projects. Thank you Lawnboyz - great job!

Super impressive with Lawnboyz. Hire them. Great work on our project.

We had LawnBoyz re-do our entire front landscape this spring. They did a computer rendering for us and changed it up a few times to suit our needs. The work was done professionally and beautifully. The crew was friendly and respectful. We are so proud of our yard now and look forward to LawnBoyz doing more projects for us in the future!

I am thrilled with my sweet new patio! Lawnboyz worked with my budget, did not try to upsell me and did excellent quality work. I plan to use them again soon!

We built a new home and had the Lawnboyzzz do our entire lot s landscaping. They also installed a front walkway using unilock. They did a fantastic job and we plan to have them install our back patio this summer. We would definitely recommend them as they were extremely responsive, knowledgeable and professional.

I ve used Lawnboyz for years and I will continue to do so. They ve done both hardscape and landscape and it s all been fantastic. Beyond the skill and attention to detail, they are friendly, professional, and plain good people. They will always be my first choice!!!

LawnBoyZ Landscaping, Inc. does excellent work! Each of them is very respectful and professional. They removed an old stamped concrete patio and installed a beautiful natural Valders stone patio with firepit, built in grill with stone countertop and lighting under steps and counter. They added landscaping around the patio that looks gorgeous. I highly recommend!

Lawnboyz has completed 2 homes for me. I was so happy at my last home I had them do my new one. My last house they did hardscape and landscape it turned out amazing. They took time to make my vision work. They were patient and helpful. Then I moved, which was not totally planned. Found my dream home that needed tender loving care. Again Lawboyz helped with their magic and a lot of hard work. A major clean up and face lift to both my front and back yards. I will use them for more vision I have. They are reasonably priced, workers go above and beyond, professional and courteous. I had a bad experience with a local landscaper before finding them and they are a Great Firm that you can trust!!!!!

I saw LawnBoyz doing work in the neighborhood and gave them a call for landscape work we needed in our backyard; Im glad I did. They listened to our needs and provided an estimate that I thought was very reasonable, and were responsive to the few changes we wanted. All their work, from their estimating to the install, was completed ahead of schedule with no surprises - very much appreciated. They provided a 3D graphic with their estimate and our backyard now looks exactly like what they said it would. We couldnt be happier. Everyone we came in contact with busted their tails, from the president to the installers and graphic artists. I will call them again.

Great group of guys! Chad and Keith are always a pleasure to work with on all my landscaping needs. Highly recommended their services.

What a perfect team. They did an excellent job, and took their time to get it right. I never saw them rushing so they could make it to the next job. They met all our landscaping needs, and we cant wait to have them back again in the Spring.

Lawnboyz was wonderful to work with, extremely professional and responsive. We had the front of our house landscaping overhauled. Lawnboyz arrived on time every morning, they started working pulling up all the old landscaping and cleaned it up. The new landscaping added symmetry, color, and beauty to the front yard. Lawnboyz also made our backyard look beautiful, clean, and neat. The Lawnboyz team provides excellent customer service!! I look forward to working with Bonnie on phase 2 of our backyard patio upgrade.

Some of the finest hardscape work I have ever seen. Very professional service starting with initial meetings and design consultations with Chad and execution with Keith and the Lawn Boyz team.

My landscape is amazing, Chad & Keith did a fabulous job. They are extremely professional & do a great job following up!

Just had the Boyz out to do a full yard and plant overhaul and add some hardscaping. They showed up on time, worked quickly, were very pleasant to deal with, and had upfront estimates which matched the amount I paid in the end. Good, honest company run by friendly, fun, local people that truly care about your yard. The best endorsement I can give is that I had them out to do a one-time job and theyve won me over as an annual customer. Im a Phan and will be using Lawnboyz from here on out.

LawnBoyz installed a 20x20 brick paver patio in my backyard and also installed various shrubs and bushes around my property. The guys at LawnBoyz are top notch. Chad is an excellent salesman - honest and true to his word and very knowledgeable about landscaping, popular trends, and cost conscious. Keith is equally dynamic in the field and does an excellent job running the crews. Their professionalism shines through the quality of their work. I have recommended LawnBoyz to many friends and family who have all had similar experiences.

LawnBoyZ completed a large professional grade landscaping design at our home in Arlington Heights. The softscape design included beautiful trees, shrubs, annuals, bulbs, perennials, ground covers and mulch. My wife and I were extremely satisfied with the services provided and quality of material installed. Our front and back yard are beautiful thanks to LawnBoyZ. The owners (Chad and Keith) were highly effective in communicating with us starting with the planning phase all the way through job completion. Chad, Keith, and their skilled hardworking team were top notch! We look forward to having LawnBoyZ install our hardscape in the future.
