I called Pete's and was able to get an estimate the next day. The person who came out was knowledgeable and professional. He answered all of my questions and was very helpful. I called,received my estimate, and had the work done all in the same week!!!! They did an excellent job. The yard looks great. I was very happy with the services and would recommend Pete's to anyone looking for a landscaping company.

They're very good, very reliable, and show up on time. They're reasonably priced too. Overall, they're great. They come, do the work, and don't bother you. They don't autobill -- you have to send a check.

I called Pete's to come out for an estimate on lawn service. They returned my call and came out the next day. After the estimate we hired them and they cut the grass the next day and trimmed the bushes 3 days later. We are now using them on a weekly basis. The workers are friendly and do a good job. I am very happy how neat and clean my lawn and bushes look.

brick that was installed is not the brick we had agreed on in the contract. I did take pictures and video. As we discussed the driveway to be installed, we were very clear that the new portion needed to match as closely as possible to the old. You had recommended the Holland stone sierra and Holland stone prairie based on pictures from the unilock book you provided. Next you told us to make a decision based upon the display that is located outside of Schroeder Material. Upon inspection of the displays you utilized as your companies samples, we decided on these pavers. I will forward the pictures of these displays to you. As you will see the pavers that were installed in no way resemble the pavers you provided for us to choose from. In fact the video I send will show that the pavers installed were not even on display to choose from. In reviewing the pictures in the book you provided from unilock, the pictures in the book from unilock available at Schroeders Material, the displays you sent us to choose from at schroeders Materials, and unilocks website, I have concluded the correct pavers were not installed. This matter will need to be remedied by the installation of correct pavers with no additional cost to me. Additionally, I was not given the option to choose the brick by what they had in the yard. The option you provided to me was to choose from the display at Schroeders Material. Any discrepancy on what is in the yard will need to be settled between you and Schroeders Material. I am forced to hold you to the display you provided for me to choose from.As it stands now, the pavers that have been put in place have not been done properly. As you have already stated, the soldiers are out of line and sand has not been swept in as it should. However the main course is also not done properly. It is not lined up, it is twisting, and the gaps are not set properly. All of the pavers that have been laid, need to be pulled up and redone properly. The borders along the pavers are also not set properly. This incomplete project is also jeopardizing the integrity of the original driveway and needs to be completed.There is also the matter of cleanup that will still need to be completed. The bob cat driver left rubber marks along the driveway that will need to be cleaned up. The grass in front of the driveway, and in back of the driveway, was destroyed and will need to be restored. This especially causes a problem since there is now nothing to hold the topsoil, this will cause runoff if not remedied.Communication has also been an issue with this project. From the time you had your workers on site, it took use over a week to get in contact with your company. We then had you on site on July 11th to discuss the issues at hand. It was not until July 24th that you communicated again. It is imperative that we get this project completed right away. As it stands, the project was due to be completed no later than July 2nd 2014. It is now July 27Th 2014 and you have not given me a clear date on when this will be complete.

Response from Pete's Lawn Care Inc
The pavers were the correct pavers chosen by the member and his brother as per the contract. I do not chose color or the kind of brick for our customers. It is the customers responsible to do this. I do not utilize any venders displays as stated by the remember. I do not think it is fair to me that the member wants me to change out the brick that he and his brother chose just because he is not happy with the color they chose and is in the contract. I do know that the solders course does need to be fixed and I have always stated that I will fix this, but I want to resolve the problem with the color first. I have asked him to go to the supply house and speak with the manager about the color and he has not done this yet. the member has my office # and has my personal cell phone number and I have had no calls from him. I did skip the mowing for one week because I did not receive payment for two months. Then I did receive a payment and put the cutting back on the list. We cut the grass one more time and then I put it on hold but the member had nothing to do with this as he states in his letter. I want to resole this situation but it has to be fair to both of us. I will change out the brick at no cost for the labor and I ask the member to pay for what ever color and brick he chooses. I do need to be paid for the original work and hopefully we can both compromise and get this project completed. I truly hope we can resolve this out a court of law. Thank you.

I called Pete for a quote for pavers. He was very professional and came out in a timely manner. He did a great job drawing up the proposed site and gave me a quote the next day. Unfortunately, he was not the lowest priced of the 5 companies that came out to give me a quote and I opted to go with another company. I would recommend Pete, though, as I have used him before at my old house and he is very professional.

Overall, it was a pleasure to do business with Pete. I have no complaints. Job well done! I would definitely hire Pete's Lawn Care again.
Description of Work: Pete's Lawn Care installed holland pavers on two walkways starting from my property line and leading to the front and side entrance doors of my house. The job involved the removal of existing concrete walks and the installation of the new pavers. Pete, the owner, came to my house to write the estimate. We discussed the job in detail and he helped me with ideas on the design and layout of the pavers. Pete was a pleasure to deal with. He answered any and all questions or concerns I might have had and assured me the job would be done professionally. And he was right. His crew came out a day or two later and had the job finished in a few days. At the end of the first day all the concrete had been torn out and removed and the base for the pavers had been installed. And the base seemed nice and solid, which we discussed. Due to the design and layout of my front walkway there were a lot of cuts to be made on the pavers as they were being installed. And they were all cut and installed very accurately. When the job was finished all the seams between the pavers were symmetrical, the pavers completely level across the top and the walkways pitching in the right direction for drainage from rain. And the pavers matched up to the existing public sidewalk perfectly. Pete's crew of installers were neat, diligent and professional throughout the installation. And his prices were more than fair. I had other estimates but I'm glad I chose Pete's Lawn Care. You would be too!

nothing performed!this is stupid!!!!! I can't rate a service I did not receive!!!!!! your rating grid needs a change!
Description of Work: I contacted Pete's Lawn Care, inc., Oak Lawn, Il. for an estimate and badly needed service to my newly soded yard! I gave him my address and the response I received today is "you are not in our service area"!!!!!!!!!! don't they claim to service COOK COUNTY!! I am inside the CITY OF CHICAGO! I replied to him that this is the "BRIGHTON/McKINLEY PARK AREA, ARCHER AND WESTERN AVE, not ENGLEWOOD!! I know exactly what his problem is! He should shaow as his service area "on my block only" if that's how he is! I think his response was EXTREMELY unprofessional! I would give him a big ZERO for a rating!

I don't understand contractors, suppliers, and vendors who arrive at a potential business opportunity and do not follow up with estimates quotes or at least some kind of communication that says "thanks for contacting us, but we're not interested at this time" I refuse to chase people down with my money.

They are doing great. They do a fabulous job. I don’t know how much they charge but I know the yard isn’t that big. I don’t know how much time they spend but they come and cut the grass, they edge it and they clean up everything. They are gone in no time. They do a quality job. The workers that come out are very nice and very professional. They are hard working. There have been no complications at all with the company. They’ve been great to work with. We will absolutely use their services again in the future.

I appreciated a formal document listing each service with a good description. He was available later that same week and that was a big plus. His crew showed up on the day promised and was done the same day. They didn't have to tear down anything to get into our yard but used wheel barrows instead of a noisy bobcat. Pete followed up with a call. Very professional and would definitely use him again.

One of the best things about Pete's Lawn care is that you get a person (a very nice lady named Alice) when you call! If you do get Pete's voice mail, he does call you back as soon as possible. Very responsive in this regard. Date of service applies insofar as it was the last time my grass was cut. I've retained Pete as my lawn care provider for the last three seasons. He's done various things, removing trees, trimming and cutting the lawn, and trimming hedges. This year is the first time in three seasons that he's upped the price on the weekly lawn cutting and that was only a $1 a week. Work is always done in a punctual manner, workers clean up after themselves and prices are very competitive. I haven't entered a price, only because I've spent different amounts for the different projects I've had done over the last 3 seasons. Pete would estimate your job on an individual basis.

My experience with Pete's Lawn Care, Inc. was extremely positive and pleasant. My initial contact was my e-mail request for an opportunity to discuss my thoughts and desires with someone from their company. Pete came to my home at a mutually convenient time and walked the entire grounds as I expressed my plans and asked for his feedback and recommendations. He presented options for my desired effect and gave me ideas of costs. He later mailed me an itemized actual estimate for each and every point we discussed. Even though I was not given an actual start date, I could, immediately, tell when the work started. I drove to my home one evening and came into the driveway and the crisp finish of the yard was readily apparent. More work done to the lawns and, subsequently, to the shrubs revealed the company's ability and skill in lawn and shrub care.
Description of Work: Pete's Lawn Care, Inc. gave me, what I considered to be, a fair estimate for the work I requested. The group proceeded to clean the debris from the previous fall season, fertilize, mow and edge my lawns, and trim my hedges. From the start of their work, I could see a marked difference in the appearance, color, thickness, and finish of my lawns over that done under the care of previous companies. My time is valuable to me and it is assuring to know that there is someone who will care for my lawns and shrubs with the excellence and in the manner that I would, if I chose to take the time to do so.

It was very straightforward and went very well. One of things that most impressed me was that when I called the office, there is a receptionist who answers. So, there's always someone on the job. I think I might have had to leave a message once or twice, but Pete or someone from his office always responded promptly. I'm very happy with this service and will continue to use it.
Description of Work: Removed the following: 5 weed trees around the garage, 1 dead pine in the front yard, 1 fruit tree on the side of the house that was leaning into the fence. A vine that had overgrown the side of the house and was into the gutters. Removed all debris. Excellent service. I will continue to use them.
