After developing a successful paving company in 1983, founder & president Kirk Sonnenberg decided to pursue his next business venture by purchasing a 3 acre piece of property and started the construction of Sonnenberg Landscaping Material and Supply Inc. in Belleville, Illinois. He opened the doors of Sonnenberg’s in 1991. The material & supply store slowly began to establish a client base & build inventory. With the increased demand for service, an installation division was implemented later the very same year. Recently, Sonnenberg’s has built a new shop and display building at its’ Belleville location along with the opening of another store in Columbia, IL.
Recently, readers of the area’s largest newspaper publication voted Sonnenberg Landscaping the #1 Landscaping Company in the Metro-East area. The material & supply store property has developed into maintaining a stocked inventory of over a thousand tons of bulk rock & a few hundred pallets of block, brick, & pavers among a vast variety of other landscape materials and supplies. The landscaping company employs more than 30 employees with a vehicle fleet of over 40 trucks & pieces of heavy construction machinery. Our installation crews are supplied with all the latest cutting-edge equipment that the landscape industry has to offer. They are well trained and ready to cater to your every need.
Needless to say, we are quite proud of what we’ve accomplished through the past decade, and we are committed to continue the growth and success for several more to come. We would like to thank all of our store customers, contractors and install clients for their never-ending support and all of our employees for their devotion and dedication.
Fine. Truck driver was not friendly or personable. He barely talked to me; just dumped and left. Phone service was great.

Description of Work: Received pricey quote for patio paver installation. Weather an issue from the get go and then we experienced further non-weather related delays. Project took longer than anticipated. Quality could have been better. Still, thought enough of company to ask for quotes for additional landscape...still waiting months later.

Response from SONNENBERG LANDSCAPING
[name removed] contacted us for Mulch and Topsoil to be installed. It was explained to him that although it is our busy season and below our job minimum we would be happy to fit him into our schedule for last Saturday 4-25. The rain that day cancelled our installation and he was again contacted on Monday, 4-27 for an afternoon installation. [name removed] responded that he would not be home and we told him that we would reschedule him for another day. This installation was below $500.00 and we never received a signed contract or deposit from him.

We have looked at a couple different options with regards to material. They have been pretty easy to work with. The interactions with them were great. They were good.
Description of Work: I got an estimate to clean up the flower beds, putting edging in and rock in.

Description of Work: We've been using Sonnenberg's to buy our mulch for about 8 years. I normally just order and pay over the phone. Delivery can be setup same-day, so it works out nicely with our schedule. I was able to dictate where they unloaded the mulch, so it did not interfere with pulling in/out of the garage since we normally can't finish in one day.

We were pleased with the work that they did to replace the edging for the flowerbed. Wish they would've let me know when they arrived and when they were leaving but other than that, they did a good job on this particular project.
Description of Work: Removed landscaping bricks that were being used for a small flowerbed in front of our porch and replaced them with boulders.

Overall they did a good job. I do wish I had more clarity on what the final project would look like before they did the work - I didn't realized that so much of our basement wall would be exposed. I had also asked for grey stone but they weren't able to provide that but what they did come up with looks nice. The new hardscaping does give us the more natural look which is what we wanted and overall looks good. I did have to complain to get them to come back out and get them to level the ground but they came back out and made that right and I do appreciate that.
Description of Work: Removed a wooden retaining wall, tiered the area and then used boulders to hold the walls in place.

The initial meeting with their landscape designer went well and she seemed to understand that we were going for a "natural" look - lots of color, layers, textures, etc. I also explained that we wanted color year round and the right now our main concern was the front yard. She took measurements, etc. and told me she would have the drawing done in 1-2 weeks. After 2 weeks, I called her and was told she could meet with me in a few days. We had already signed a contract with them to hardscape our front yard with boulders and create 2 tiers while doing this. When I did meet with her I felt her drawing was incomplete - she had nothing placed on the bottom tier (told me to plant grass there) and the top tier showed a blue spruce (which she later said was mislabeled), 3 hydrangeas, and 7 small grasses planted in front of them. She did have some landscaping drawn down the side of the house and then in great detail everything we had down ourselves. No new ideas. I told her I would have to take it home and look at it. Later I was given a price of $1500 for them to plant the spruce, hydrangeas, and grasses, and mulch the area. After going to a nursery and looking at the plants, I knew this was absolutely not going to work - in our area the hydrangeas would be sticks during the winter and my yard would look bare. I voiced this to their employee that was doing the hardscaping and he said he would call her. The next day, him and I discussed this again and he told me he would call her again. This time, she came out. When I told her the drawing/plants she designed would not work for our area and I didn't like the design, I got a lecture on her being the "expert" and that if she changed her drawings, I would have to pay another $200. I told her I wasn't paying more and that I couldn't use her design. She went back to the office and then sent me an email saying that they had built the bed larger than what she thought it would be and now the price would be $2350. (Again - they built the bed not me but now are upping the price $850) When I pushed about the plants, she came up with a few they could add in - none would retain color during the winter though - and none were to our taste and the look I had described to her) We wound up not having them landscaping and I really wish I hadn't wasted the $200 on a design that I will never use. I always thought that the customer was right - but I guess not if you are using their landscape design services - it's their way or you're wrong.
Description of Work: They were suppose to design landscaping for our front yard and left hand side of our yard. (We had already landscaped the back and right hand side.) We also asked for new ideas to enhance our yard.

They cut our sod to put the fence in. The wall is 20 ft. long and 3 ft high. After a short period of time the fence was sagging. They came back and repaired it as I had a written warranty. The main problem was the crew they had was not experienced. They brought a different crew everyday.
Description of Work: They built a block retaining wall in my front and back yard.

THE COST OF THE DESIGN WAS $100, WHICH WAS WAIVED BECAUSE WE WENT WITH THEIR DESIGN. THEY CAME OUT ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER AND FINISHED THE JOB IN A DAY AND A HALF. WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME!
Description of Work: DESIGNED A LAYOUT FOR THE FRONT OF OUR HOUSE WITH SOME LOW MAINTENANCE PLANTS.
