The team took the time to listen to my ideas and provided valuable input and suggestions to make my vision even better. > > The project involved transforming an area that included a flood plain from an overgrown field of brush into a space for me and my family to enjoy. The attention to detail in the design and execution was impeccable. The stonework was expertly crafted, creating a sense of both artistry and functionality. They paid careful attention to the selection of plants, ensuring that they not only fit the aesthetic I was going for but also were suitable for the local climate and maintenance preferences. > > Throughout the project, the Bear Landscape Group team led by Mike Charicki maintained excellent daily communication.

They also completed a project directly in back of my home. I contacted Mike and he came out right away and provided me with ideas, brochures,drawings, etc. Mike was first class and professional and offered fantastic advise regarding my ideas and project. The employees along with Mike were VERY professional, kind and respectful. They showed up on time as promised and everyone worked very hard. I love my new unilock paver patio and all the beautiful up lighting placed in the rear of my home. ALL my neighbors have commented on the project and outcome as well. I have since continued working with Mike and next Spring he will be doing additional work. I assure anyone who uses this company they will be very happy working with them. In these "times" getting fantastic, reliable people to do a beautiful project as promised is a difficult thing....but NOT in the case of BEAR Landscape. Thank you Mike....and all your hard working employees for a beautiful job. I look forward to a continued relationship with your company. **★★★★★ — Annette Esler, Oct. 2018** > We would highly recommend Bear Landscape Group for any outdoor project due to their beautiful landscape designs and their phenomenal customer service. We hired Bear Landscape to remove some weeding and make some changes to our backyard landscaping. Mike and his crew did a fantastic job, and he even came back and made some adjustments when I decided I needed some more work done. He was always responsive via email and text and was always on-time and prompt for all of our scheduled meetings. **★★★★★ — WILLIAM PIOTROWSKI, Oct. 2018** > Professional and efficient. Mike is very respectful and is great at communicating with me about the projects I wanted done around my home. They’re always clean and neat on every job I had done by them. I would recommended Bear Landscaping to everyone I know!!! The crews were great, and the customer service was superb. **★★★★★ — Jerry Tuazon, Aug. 2017** > Thank you \#bearlandscapegroup for your outstanding work on our newly developed patio! You guys truly have outdone yourselves! From the first day we met - I knew we were in good hands. Your vision and color choices for our patio came out better than we ever expected. You worked with us when we wanted to change things on the fly. The pergola, glass firepit, low voltage lighting, landscaping and built-in kitchen were beautifully constructed. Your workers were excellent to work with as well - took pride in there work and always cleaned up after they were done with their days work. It has truly been a pleasure to work with you and your team! My wife and I are ecstatic that we now have a "resort" in our backyard. Thank you again! **★★★★★ — Andy P, Sept. 2016** > After receiving bids from several other companies, we went with Bear Landscaping Group for our project. The owner, Mike, was prompt, professional and understood our vision. Our project was a driveway/patio combination that involved cutting asphalt, a lot of grading and a few changes along the way. Mike and his crew were able to adapt to some tweaks to the original plan and always responded to calls or emails without delay. The work site was cleaned up every day and at the end of the project, we were pleasantly surprised that Bear Landscape Group replaced mulch, planted grass seed, and left the space better than before. > We are thrilled with the outcome of our beautiful new driveway/patio area and plan to use Bear Landscape Group again for future projects. **★★★★★ — jfzanghi, Sept. 2016** > We hired Bear Landscape Group to build block retaining walls and stairs on the sides of our driveway. The crew worked hard everyday and took pride in the quality of their work. They did a great job and we are well satisfied with the outcome of their work. **★★★★ — User, Sept. 2016** > This is the 2nd time we have hired the Bear Landscape Group and both times we have been very pleased with their responsiveness, landscaping ideas, job quality, affordable pricing and excellent customer service before, during and after job completion. The most recent landscaping project was the installation of a block patio and flagstone garden feature on a sloped lot. This was a difficult project due to the multiple lawn contours involved and the need to tie the patio into an existing deck and previous landscaping. We would definitely recommend Bear as a landscaping provider and look forward to next year's project. **★★★★★ — Holly Forsyth, Aug. 2016** > Our patio and part of our yard were in really rough shape after we did our new addition, plus our budget was really tight. We had planned on redoing the patio ourselves, but the project was completely overwhelming. Mike did a great job coming up with an affordable but beautiful solution. His guys worked their tails off and completely removed a ton of dirt and debris, our old brick patio and some bushes. Then they built a fabulous new patio and walkway. It looks even better than we hoped! **★★★★★ — muskyhunter50, Aug. 2016** > After a long summer of a Mud room addition and renovating the first floor of our house we hired Bear Landscape Group to replace our old sinking paver patio and dress up the new addition with a mulch pit and some plants. Bear was impressive from beginning to end. Michael put together an awesome 3D design that fit into our budget. The project started on time and even finished a day earlier than projected. Bear's employees went above and beyond our expectations! We now have a beautiful Unilock paver patio, plants and bushes aroud the new addition, and a yard that looks amazing. I would highly recommend Bear for any outdoor project you have, thanks again guys! **★★★★★ — ryank2413, July 2016** > I recently bought a house in which the inside was practically brand new but the outside was in terrible shape. To be honest, from the outside, it was probably the ugliest house on the block. Most of it was made up of unkept grass, roots & weeds everywhere, and big patches on dirt. Along with that, the front walkway was old, cracked and uneven with the foundation of the house. Saying itneeded a ton of work would be an understatement. > > I contacted Bear Landscaping and sat down with Mike to come up with a plan based on my needs and wants and my price range. The plan was to put down brand new sod, rip up the front walk & porch and put in a paver walk & porch, put in a flagstone pathway on the side of the house and put in a paver patio with pillars, a wall and a gas fire pit in the backyard. BL then provided me with a digital layout of the final project and we tweaked a few things based on my personal preference. Then I was able to go to the local Unilock with Mike to pick out my pavers. I have never done this before and Mike was very helpful and honest in assisting me with finding a paver that I liked, that would fit in my price range and would blend in well with the house. > > Now with the planning done and the orders placed, the project was underway. They started by ripping up the front walk & porch along with various dead plants in the yard. The completed the front porch & walk in a matter of three days while also tackling other projects in the yard. Next was the back patio, which was the biggest part of the project. This only took about a week to complete, again, while working on other projects in my yard at the same time. Finally came the flagstone path and the sod. The entire project took about three weeks to complete due to some hold ups with the weather. To be honest I was amazed at how quickly they got all this done. They essentially gave me a brand new, stunning yard in three weeks. Along with all this work BL planted various plants, bushes and trees upon my request as well. They were extremely knowledgable about what types of plants and trees I needed based on the conditions where they were being planted and my reasoning behind wanting them. I was truly amazed and speechless at the overall transformation that took place. I have my dream yard. One of my new neighbors came up a few days after completion and said, "you have, by far, the nicest house on the block." He mentioned how other neighbors he had talked to said similar things and that they were so happy that someone bought the house who cared about what it looked like. While I do care quite a bit about my yard, without the work of Bear Landscaping, there is no way this would have been possible. Along with that, I had at least eight people come up and ask for BL's information because of how amazed they were at the work that had been done. > > Beyond the unbelievable work that BL did to my yard, what impressed me the most was the hard-working, well-mannered and truly caring individuals that worked on my yard. They were in heat in the upper 90s on some days and that did not stop them. There were days where they worked past 7:00 pm, and they came out on the weekends. The workers were very particular about their work and if something wasn't done exactly how they wanted it, they would continue to work on it until it met their standards. Beyond their high standards, they were such friendly people who I was honestly sad to say goodbye to. > > I can't find the right words to sum up how thankful I am and how happy I am to have chosen Bear Landscaping to do my yard renovation. It's my first house and it's turned into my dream because of the work they've done and I honestly can't imagine moving again because of how happy I am with how my yard looks. I would highly recommend BL to anyone. Mike and his workers are upstanding individuals who truly care about their customers. They cater to your needs, they are very reasonable price-wise, but most importantly they want their customers to be happy and they will do all that it takes to achieve that! ## Selected projects - [Blue Glass Fire Pit-Wrap around Brick Outdoor Living Space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blue-glass-fire-pit-wrap-around-brick-outdoor-living-space-pj-vj~1731002) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 17 - [Retaining Walls](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/retaining-walls-pj-vj~1731081) - Location: Lisle, IL - Photos: 8 - Description: Adding structure and beauty to the side of this beautiful home. - [Outdoor Fireplace, 2 level patio, retaining walls and an outdoor kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-fireplace-2-level-patio-retaining-walls-and-an-outdoor-kitchen-pj-vj~1783197) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 18 - Description: Outdoor Living- a touch of lighting and a sound system that targets your guests and not your neighbors is the perfect way to start the summer festivities! - [Brick Fire Pit and seating wall](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brick-fire-pit-and-seating-wall-pj-vj~1733349) - Location: Lisle, IL - Photos: 7 - [Grey-Black Border Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grey-black-border-patio-pj-vj~1731209) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 11 - [Combination of hardscape and softscape to enhance the look!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/combination-of-hardscape-and-softscape-to-enhance-the-look-pj-vj~1974509) - Location: Oak Brook, IL - Photos: 4 - [Paver Project- Driveway, Walkway, Patio and Fire Pit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paver-project-driveway-walkway-patio-and-fire-pit-pj-vj~1731146) - Location: Lisle, IL - Photos: 13 - [Unilock Artline Patio, Seating wall with pillars and glass gas fire pit,](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unilock-artline-patio-seating-wall-with-pillars-and-glass-gas-fire-pit-pj-vj~1901109) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 20 - [Unilock Patio-Beacon Hill and Rivercrest-Coastal Seatwalls and Pillars](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unilock-patio-beacon-hill-and-rivercrest-coastal-seatwalls-and-pillars-pj-vj~1963535) - Location: Wood Dale, IL - Photos: 14 - Description: We had a lot of fun working on this project! - [Unilock Patio and Walkway and Planting Bed Installations](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unilock-patio-and-walkway-and-planting-bed-installations-pj-vj~1981670) - Location: Lombard, IL - Photos: 5 - [Unilock Pisa 2 Retaining Wall and Permeable Paver Installation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unilock-pisa-2-retaining-wall-and-permeable-paver-installation-pj-vj~2025962) - Location: Elmhurst, IL - Photos: 6 - [Unilock Beacon Hill flagstone with sandstone coping border](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unilock-beacon-hill-flagstone-with-sandstone-coping-border-pj-vj~2023049) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 5 - [Patio with 2 steps and pillars to finish the look](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/patio-with-2-steps-and-pillars-to-finish-the-look-pj-vj~1733295) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Retaining Walls - adding to the front of the house](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/retaining-walls-adding-to-the-front-of-the-house-pj-vj~1733177) - Location: Montgomery, IL - Photos: 10 - [Curved Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/curved-patio-pj-vj~1731170) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 4 - [Unilock Beacon Hill Patio with a Fireglass Fire Pit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unilock-beacon-hill-patio-with-a-fireglass-fire-pit-pj-vj~7613638) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Corner Patio-different view of the house](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/corner-patio-different-view-of-the-house-pj-vj~1733245) - Location: Lisle, IL - Photos: 4 - [Sierra Hollandstone Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sierra-hollandstone-patio-pj-vj~1731271) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Pergolas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pergolas-pj-vj~7613599) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Memorial Paver Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/memorial-paver-project-pj-vj~7613618) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 26 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-contractors/bear-landscape-group-pfvwus-pf~1512038690) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
