Went to a different company for one season and came back because the quality here was so much better. **Comment from Western DuPage Landscaping, Inc.:** > Thank you so very much for the feedback and review! **★★★★★ — Ashley P, Jan. 2026** > We highly recommend Western DuPage Landscaping to anyone seeking exceptional service and care. Eric supported our family during a very challenging period when we needed to restore and reimagine the landscaping in our front yard. From the very beginning, he was patient, compassionate, and incredibly helpful, even working directly with our insurance representative to ensure the project moved forward smoothly. > > The landscaping team was professional, detail-oriented, and truly went above and beyond—including taking care of additional areas that needed attention. After the project was completed, they followed up to make sure everything met our expectations. Western DuPage Landscaping delivered not only beautiful results but also genuine care and outstanding customer service. **★★★★★ — Michelle, July 2025** > I highly recommend Western DuPage Landscaping! The company did an amazing job with the design, the installation, the staff and customer service is top notch. I have a few other projects that im planning for the near future and definitely will contract them again! **★★★★★ — Phil Schutt, May 2025** > Western Dupage Landscaping completed our patio and backyard during the beginning of COVID. It was a transformational process. Our outdoor living space has created so many wonderful memories for our family. It was a great investment. I am so proud how it looks and when we sell the house, it will be the deciding factor that will drive a offer+ price from a prospective buyer. **★★★★★ — HU-58490568, Aug. 2024** > We had such an amazing experience working with Western Dupage Landscaping. From start to finish, our expectations were exceeded. Especially grateful for Matt and Bill and all their work on our project - extremely thorough, helpful, and great communicators. Our yard is transformed and looks absolutely beautiful. Thank you for all your hard work! **★★★★★ — ksdunford, June 2023** > After 37 years our back yard was in need of a major renewal. The plant material was fading, deck boards were failing, a natural privacy screen for the adjacent properties and sidewalk was desired, and the grill needed to be removed from the deck. We were in search of a creative landscape architect who would be interested in our project. A designer who could develop a beautiful plan that would be easier to maintain and look like a naturalized woodland. > > Eric Galloway of Western DuPage Landscaping was a perfect match. After presenting the original plan, he continued to perfect it according to our discussions. In addition to solving our objectives, Eric suggested a modest regrading of the backyard, which resulted in only one step being needed to ascend the deck, previously there were three. We particularly like his use of arborvitae as a natural screen, his recommendation for a walkway that included a small patio to one side of the deck for the grill, and the use of low maintenance ground covers. The redesigned beds and newly selected plant material are cohesive and simplistic. We love the new look and function of our yard! > > The manner in which Eric and his crew executed the plan was also first rate. They always communicated when they were coming and the worksite was maintained in an orderly fashion until completion. When they had questions, they sought our input. After correcting the grading problem, the plants were placed according to Eric’s design. The experience and care utilized to construct the bluestone walkway and patio were impressive. > > We are very pleased with the quality of Eric Galloway’s work and the Western DuPage Landscaping installation team. We enjoy spending time in our new garden, and the interior backyard views are spectacular and make us happy! We highly recommend Western DuPage Landscaping. **★★★★★ — shannonholst, Nov. 2022** > We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Matt and his team at Western Dupage Landscaping. He helped us create our dream backyard space and made it such an easy process for us. He listened to what we said we wanted, tweaked the design when asked, made suggestions on materials based on our likes and dislikes, and met us at showrooms to help us make the best decisions possible. He came to check in on the job many times and his team kept the worksite clean when they left. Matt and everyone we met through his team were friendly, respectful, and helpful. There is no one we’d recommend more! **★★★★★ — mckelly1, Nov. 2022** > We had an awesome experience working with Matt and his team! We hired them to refresh our back porch hardscape and overall outdoor landscaping, and they did a wonderful job. Matt is creative and open minded, he was able to bring our ideas to life. His team is efficient! We definitely recommend him! **★★★★★ — sessions76, Nov. 2022** > We interviewed several landscaping companies for our pool and backyard landscaping project. We ultimately chose Matt Ewert and Western Dupage and have absolutely no regrets. Matt was extremely knowledgeable, creative, and patient during the design and construction phase, especially during the times when issues arose (they always do). The installation team was also courteous, quick, and professional in every phase of the project. Matt and Team were able to achieve exactly what we wanted and we could not be happier! **★★★★★ — Carla Szatkowski, Oct. 2022** > Matt Ewert was our landscape architect. He did a great job of taking our ideas (and his) and designing an amazing Entey if you will (front garden bed) to our home. Matt was great to work with, and went out of his way to give us his personal attention. He was patient as our ideas evolved and was an excellent listener. This was reflected in his proposals. He also incorporated a beautiful 2 zone low voltage lighting with smart controls which makes this beautiful night and day. Plantings will be added this spring, pictures below are of hardscape. **★★★★★ — Michelle Taylor, Aug. 2022** > Matt Ewert and his team at Western Dupage Landscaping did an amazing job with our backyard patio project and front yard refresh. We first met with Matt to discuss our thoughts for the project. He came back with a beautiful patio design, took the time to discuss changes, and helped us to visualize and align on a final design. Throughout the entire project Matt was very responsive to emails, quick texts and phone calls with questions. The two crews who worked on the hardscaping and landscaping were great. Kevin, the manager, was very helpful and responsive with the few modifications we needed. Not only was the entire project completed in the timeframe Matt laid out, it was also fun to watch progress on the build (think HGTV) and pretty stress free due to their helpful attitudes. We would definitely recommend the team to anyone who wants an outdoor setting that looks beautiful and professionally done. **★★★★★ — Shannon Geegan, Dec. 2021** > I can't recommend them enough! Matt Ewert and his team did an extraordinary job accommodating to our pool project. We had several iterations and Matt was so patient, creative, and thoughtful. Our yard looks gorgeous. Can't wait to have them tackle our front yard! ## Selected projects - [White Stone](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-stone-pj-vj~7232562) - Location: Sugar Grove, IL - Photos: 26 - [Timeless Beauty](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/timeless-beauty-pj-vj~7361132) - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL - Photos: 12 - [The 19th Green](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-19th-green-pj-vj~7361189) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 27 - [East Coast Inspired](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-coast-inspired-pj-vj~462547) - Location: Wheaton, IL - Photos: 17 - [A Little Something For Everyone](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-little-something-for-everyone-pj-vj~488380) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 24 - [Perennial Paradise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/perennial-paradise-pj-vj~7362215) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Our Resort](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/our-resort-pj-vj~7406338) - Location: Winfield, IL - Photos: 14 - [Mid-Century Juxtaposition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-juxtaposition-pj-vj~7362125) - Location: Wheaton, IL - Photos: 11 - [Modern Chic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-chic-pj-vj~7362152) - Location: Naperville, IL - Photos: 12 - [Maximizing Spaces](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maximizing-spaces-pj-vj~7365706) - Location: Wheaton, IL - Photos: 13 - [New Age Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-age-contemporary-pj-vj~7362207) - Location: St. Charles, IL - Photos: 21 - [Enduring Classic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/enduring-classic-pj-vj~7407649) - Location: Wheaton, IL - Photos: 25 - [Classy Conventional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classy-conventional-pj-vj~7220752) - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL - Photos: 12 - [Cape Cod in the Burbs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cape-cod-in-the-burbs-pj-vj~462487) - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL - Photos: 15 - Description: This was a Illinois Landscape Contractors Excellence in Landscape Awards, Gold Award wining project in 2008.
