Description of Work: I had fall clean-up work completed & the crew did a great job. I called at the very end of the season,,but they still managed to squeeze me in with winter weather upon us, thankfully! I have since contacted them to come back for spring clean-up and will be using them for my summer lawn fertilization. The office staff was also very helpful with answering my questions when I contacted them.

First, it was so difficult to get the appointment through. I don't think that it takes that long for him to set up appointment (six Weeks) before he does the actual work. Within the six weeks process, I made several calls to him. At a point I left a message for him and he would not call back until out of frustration I left him know that I am a member of Angie's list and that I will be required to send a review about him. It was then he called back and came to assess the job, fix the price and again took off for two weeks without showing up to do the job. We were made to sign contract for the job, mail it back and the pay deposit (120.00). He claimed he had no office when my husband offered to come to his office in Homewood to pay the deposit. He acted like he was not interested in working in our neighborhood-Country Club Hills which is just a stone throw from Homewood. On the above date, he sent his men who ended up doing a very poor job especially with the pruning of the shrubs in the front of the house and garage. They failed to remove the tree entirely. I called him and explained to him that I was not satisfied with the type of the unprofessional job I had received. I requested that he should accompany his men to supervise them and ensure it was done properly. He never bordered to come with his men, instead his wife promised to send them back to finish the job. Two days later, the men came back and removed the tree unknown to us, but did nothing about the proper trimming of the shrubs and both Mike and the wife did not call to find out if everything was okay or not. I am sure that Mike has a lot of customers that he works for and so he will not depend on my review to get more customers. Those men collected forty dollars for clearing of the tree branches and the leaves only for them to liter my backyards with it and making me do the picking and gathering of the twigs before my son will get injured with it.
Description of Work: Removal of voluntary tree, pruning of shrubs and trees and clearing of the twigs and leaves.

Very well. They were quick and very clean.
Description of Work: They came out and went over with me as to what they could do with my budget. I want to refresh the landscaping that I had. The gentleman that came out was very helpful and knowledgable.It was one of their busy times so it took a couple of weeks for them to do my place but that was fine...there was no rush. When they did come I was at work...when I came home that day I was pleasently surprised that all the work and cleaning was done.Amazing! Yes I would most assuradly use them again.

They are always very efficient. They are also highly knowledgeable about plants and landscaping. And, they are quick to understand what it is I need done.
Description of Work: Recent work with Utermark & Sons has been for fertilizing. I have a very large yard, so the charge may seem surprising, but it is a fair price. I use them for anything beyond mowing and trimming.

Refer to the entire summary/narrative above.
Description of Work: Filled in holes remaining from foundation repair work, removing clay and debris. Installed a french drain system at the base of the foundation and draining to an adjacent open field with local officials approval. Installed an owner provided rain barrel. Did not hook it up to drain to a location adjacent. Finished the work done by covering all with black dirt and mulch. The work was performed timely and generally followed my basic plan. However, my plan which apparently was not clear to the workmen was to have a drain to the french drain with a 'y' valve to allow water to be alternately diverted to water flower beds adjacent to the barrel or to the french drain. Unfortunately, a heavy rainstorm occurred within 48 hrs and the rain barrel fell over and floated much of the mulch into the field. When the digging began the workmen plunged a pointed shovel into the dirt and failed to notice a watering hose that was buried at that point by the previous workers (repairers of the foundation) in March when the clumps of clay were frozen and couldn't be hauled away. The two yr old 75 ft hose was severed and must now be replaced. The final result is pleasing except for the work I must complete by securing the rain barrel to the brick wall and install a downspout diverter system which was not included in the work product.

We have a service contract with them. We have been using them for almost three years, since our old gardener retired. They are wonderful. Their prices are reasonable and they are very prompt. They are very dependable as well. We’ve no desire to discontinue with them.
Description of Work: We use Utermark & Sons Landscaping. They come every week. They do the general maintenance on our yard. They do mowing, cleaning, raking leaves and cleaning the gutters. They also do the fall clean-up, wherein they clean up the garden areas. They even do the snow ploughing in our driveway. The last time they did work for us was a week ago. They cleaned out the leaves. They also cleaned the gutters a few weeks ago.

We could not have had a better experience!! Mike came out on a Monday and we had our professional line by line estimate by Friday. The estimate was extremely fair considering the work we were having done. The estimate included a quote for new sod or seeding the yard. We opted to go with new sod. Once we paid our deposit, work started within the next couple of weeks. Once work began it was completed in two days. Two weeks after that, the foreman of the crew came to check out the progress of our new landscaping. He even gave advice on how to not make our plants so attractive to hungry rabbits! We 100% recommend Utermark and Sons Landscaping. We will always use them for our landscaping needs.
Description of Work: Old grass was removed and the yard was regraded and leveled. At least six new flowerbeds were carved out. New plants and shrubs were planted, mulch laid and new sod was laid out in the entire back yard as well as a patch of our front yard.
