In 2020, we hired RYCO initially to address drainage and grading issues around the foundation of our house. We were getting water infiltration at the foundation line from improper grading. RYCO came up with a plan to install landscaping French drains, drain gutters away from the house and regrade to pitch away from the foundation. Since RYCO completed the work, we haven't had any water in the basement, even with last summer's intense rainfalls. Phase 2 of our project was just completed in May 2021 and involved demolishing an old patio and sidewalk, and installing new permeable pavers and planting beds. As a professional in the architecture and construction field, I can validate that the work done was professional, and beautiful. The permeable pavers were installed per manufacturer's recommendations, and the crew was was courteous, always on time, and willingly worked with design tweaks I incorporated along the way. They did a fantastic job and we can't wait to have them work on Phase 3, front yard paving and porch next year. Thanks Eduardo and Mimi!

The initial interaction was positive and the service resolved some issues with turf and bushes. As time went on, the supervision and pro-active approach has waned and the result is weeds in grass, crabgrass, weeds in planting beds, poorly trimmed shrubs and bushes, and an overall lack of detail. My suggestion to you is not to use this company and instead seek alternative providers. The management has shifted its focus on increasing revenues and decreasing service....this is not a sustainable direction In an industry that depends on word-of-mouth advertising.
Description of Work: I am the Vice President for a 26-home Homeowner Association in Long Grove, IL. We have been using Ryco for landscape maintenance and snow removal for 2 years as a community and paying them over 30k per year just for yard maintenance. There have been past efforts to resolve homeowner concerns, but recently, the company has become non-responsive. This is despite escalation to our Account Manager, General Manager, Vice President, and President of the company. I have interviewed another reputable company who advised the AA-level contract is not being upheld. Glad to know we have a line in our contract to exit for unsatisfactory performance at any time.

Description of Work: I used this company for three years for irrigation shut down. I appreciated the work they did. However this past October, the company changed their pricing structure. I completely understand changing prices. However, what I don't understand is why they did not honor a contract they sent to me, I signed, and returned to them for 2014 irrigation shut down. Not only did they not contact me, but they refused to honor the contract and told me they would never have charged the prices I was requesting. I promptly sent them all the paperwork I've had from them over the past 3 years showing them that I had been charged the same price every year. I also sent them the contract for the 2014 shutdown. They still refused to honor the contract. I would not use this company again.

Response from Ryco Landscaping
Though we are happy to hear that you got the quality product you expected from us on time, we are particularly saddened to learn that our unbridled enthusiasm resulted in conveying a feeling of a lack of professionalism and unresponsiveness on our part. We pride ourselves on quality work and people and feel our prices are competitive and reasonable. There is always room for improvement so we take to heart that we caused you to be other than completely satisfied with our service and going forward we will make every effort to be better listeners to our customers. Thank you as we respect your feedback and time.

We are a homeowner's association comprised of 64 units. We needed to have underground pop-up drains installed to redirect the downspouts. We asked Ryco for a bid to install these drains at two properties, and they responded promptly and with the best price. They came out when they said they would. They not only completed the work quickly, their employees even swept the sidewalks and drives. We have used other companies in the past, and we were unhappy with all of them. The other companies were either unresponsive, or did mediocre work and left a mess for the homeowner to clean up. We are very pleased with Ryco and have decided to use them for both our landscape and snow removal contracts.
Description of Work: We needed pop-up drains installed in two of our 64 town homes. They installed an attachment to the downspout, dug a trench to the sidewalk, then under it and placed the drain in an existing planting bed to direct the water away from the home. The work was done quickly and was exactly what we wanted. It looks neat and keeps the water from eroding the foundation and driveway. We will be using them for the rest of our units that need the same service.

We needed to have the yard brought even with the driveway and sidewalk. The new driveway did not settle as much as expected and created a trip hazard due to the difference in height. Ryco presented us with a competitive price. They completed the work in a timely manner. They were punctual and professional, as well. They added topsoil, then seed, and a blanket to hold it all in place. The yard is now even with both the sidewalk and driveway, and the grass has grown in nicely. We were so pleased with the result, we hired them to do some lawn irrigation work as well.

They did not respond at all. I called three different times on three different days, but no one ever got back to us. It just does not seem very business-like.
Description of Work: We had called them about doing some lawn work.

Thank you for taking the time to provide me your feedback thru Angie’s List as well as speaking to me over the phone. We do appreciate hearing from our customers, as their comments are vital for us to continue improving our service. The problem you mentioned have been brought to the attention to our team. While the lack of follow up you experienced is unusual and not the standard of RYCO; there is no excuse. We are sorry for the inconvenience and annoyance this incident caused. Thank you again for your comments. We hope that you will give us another chance to serve you.

My initial contact was through their website. They responded promptly, however it took longer than expected to receive the estimate. I believe the delay was caused by the unusually warm weather and the number of requests they received. They responded promptly to questions regarding the estimate. I confirmed the work I wanted done and they came out and completed it. The lawn looks good again.
Description of Work: They performed all the activities as advertised for spring clean-up on 4/6. A week later they did the first weekly maintenance, completing all tasks as advertised.

Overall, I feel confident Ryco will take good care of my landscaping and snow removal needs.
Description of Work: So far, Ryco has weeded and applied weed deterent to my flower garden. An excellent job was done. I have contracted with them for my snow removal this season, and they will be handling my spring and summer yard work. I am confident I will be pleased because of the caliber of work already done.

EXCELLENT! Ryco was one of six companies we contacted for this project. They were extremely professional. Their landscape designer came to our house and collaborated on ideas with us. He did a design plan and met with us to review it and go over the pricing. The cost was right in the middle of the other proposals. They showed up when they were supposed to and always returned calls promptly. The project was completed on schedule and turned out even better than we expected. The crew was very polite and professional. I would highly recomment this company.
Description of Work: Ryco replaced our asphalt driveway and concrete walkway with bricks.
