**★★★★★ — berick, Dec. 2017**

> I’ve read the previous reviews of Greenridge and Bryan Hallengren’s work and concur with the praises.  In my case, I contracted with Greenridge to solve a functional water problem outside.  Through all phases, beginning with evaluation and ideas to final “tidying,” Bryan and his crew were knowledgeable and professional.  I started talking with Greenridge in the spring; they knew I wanted it done in the fall, and that is when it happened!  Bryan was careful with me so I was involved with and aware of his ideas for solving this problem.  The crew was respectful of my property, my personal life, and that of my neighbor.  And, I noticed, they used quality materials.  I would definitely recommend Greenridge and Bryan for your quality landscaping needs and desires!  Brenda Erickson

**Comment from Greenridge Landscaping:**

> Thanks Brenda!  You were also great to work with and very accommodating for us.  Its always nice to solve a problem and leave a tidy jobsite!

**★★★★★ — Melissa Marlow, Dec. 2017**

> My husband and I have built two houses, and significantly remodeled another, including full-scale landscaping at each residence.  Greenridge Landscaping ranks above their peers on every relevant indicator.  Bryan Hallegren's ability to customize a project to meet a consumer's aesthetic vision, as well as budget goals is truly commendable.  Plus, he makes the whole process easy going and flexible, and actually fun (which is really a feat since after a custom build who has energy for landscaping design details!)  The install crew are all good communicators who care about their work product, and are more than competent in executing Bryan's design.  I have zero complaints about any part of the process from start to finish with Greenridge, and would give them an unqualified recommendation.

**Comment from Greenridge Landscaping:**

> Thanks Melissa!  We all had a great time with your project and really enjoyed starting with a "clean slate."  I look forward to continuing the back yard hardscape design this winter!

**★★★★★ — rkwallace7, April 2017**

> Last summer we had to replace our existing pool with a totally new one. Because the shape of the pool changed we replaced the existing stamped concrete with pavers. This became a huge project so we wanted the best. I contracted Greenridge Landscaping in the spring to clean up our neglected landscaping. We have an incredibly large amount of landscaped area, and they were able to get to it and basically perform a miracle in a few days. They were then hired to replace our retaining walls and pave a large area around the pool as well as create an incredible water feature above the wall. Working with Brian Hallengren's vision as well as the functionality of the area, they have made our back yard worthy of any landscaping magazine I have seen. It is truly amazing. It was one of the wettest summers on record, but they were there on every dry day available until the job was completed. We have had many construction projects in the past so this was very impressive to me.  I would have no problem recommending Greenridge Landscaping, and we are eternally grateful to have found such an impressive company to work with in Southern Illinois.

**Comment from Greenridge Landscaping:**

> Many thanks to you both for letting us create a back yard wonderland at your home! You were both so great to work with and I look forward to phase 2!!
> Thank you!
> -Bryan

**★★★★★ — Gene and Jean Houle, March 2017**

> Greenridge Landscaping not only met our dreams of a patio but exceeded them! Bryan took our ideas, pictures of the area, and a visit to bring it all together.  The landscaping crew was fantastic and always kept us up to date on what was being done and to be done even with the weather getting in the way.  You couldn't find a better landscaping team to bring your ideas to life.

**Comment from Greenridge Landscaping:**

> Thanks guys!  I really enjoyed working with you too.  I was glad we were able to fit it in (and finish) before the snow started falling!

**★★★★★ — Tom and Beverly Stitt, March 2017**

> Very pleased with the process and the final product. The skill of the landscapers was excellent and the quality of plants was tops. I would highly recommend Greenridge.

**Comment from Greenridge Landscaping:**

> Thank you, Tom and Beverly! It was a pleasure working with you on your landscape renovation! It is clients like you that powers our success!

**★★★★★ — Terry Owens, March 2017**

> We contracted Greenridge Landscaping to redesign our driveway, demolish old drive and install new drive. We worked directly with Bryan Hallengren, design associate. The design services were quick and well conceived. They provided several alternative solutions that included price estimates. After committing to a design solution and construction we were included in their busy good weather time schedule. Once construction began the team was committed to completion. We were well informed during the construction phase. The attention to detail was meticulous and all items of construction, cleanup and final inspection were completed with much care and efficiency.  We are very pleased with the entire project and will work them again in the future. We would highly recommend Greenridge Landscaping to others.

**Comment from Greenridge Landscaping:**

> Thanks Terry!  It was great working with you too!  I am glad we found a unique solution and exceeded expectations!

**★★★★★ — Melissa C, Feb. 2017**

> Andrew and his crew have been excellent to work with!  I received a bid that was accurate, I was informed of any changes along the way, and the project cost did not magically go up mid way to completion.  The crew was on time and respectful of my family (no bad language around my kids or trash left behind).  The plan was exactly what I asked for and was beautifully constructed to match the natural style of my home.  One of the few contractors I can give 5 stars!

**Comment from Greenridge Landscaping:**

> Thank you Melissa for the kind and thoughtful review. Our team loves working with you! Thank you for the trust you have placed in us

**★★★★★ — Martin McMorrow, Feb. 2017**

> We have relied on the staff of Greenridge Landscaping for driveway construction, landscape borders (boxwoods), and gardens over the 20+ years since we restored a turn-of-the-century stone schoolhouse into our home. In each case we have been impressed by the design, planning and implementation of the project, as well as the attention, expertise and demeanor of everyone who has been involved. We recommend Greenridge Landscaping to anyone who wishes to make their space more beautiful.

**Comment from Greenridge Landscaping:**

> Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures! So happy to have you as a customer and part of the Greenridge family! Boxwoods look great!

**★★★★★ — Mary Helen McGreevy, Feb. 2017**

> 5 stars all the way

> We have been customers for 6 years and very pleased with the work and suggestions from staff.  Our landscaping is beautiful we have had them do several projects over the years  includingNewKit installing an irrigation system

**Comment from Greenridge Landscaping:**

> Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It has been our pleasure to get to know you over the years and together, develop an outdoor space you can truly enjoy. It's clients like you that fuel our success.

**★★★★★ — Kristin Pass, Feb. 2017**

> Greenridge Landscaping has done several jobs for me including installing an outdoor rainwater collection system and a spigot.  They are wonderful to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to call them for any landscape need I had.  They are always on time and professional!

**Comment from Greenridge Landscaping:**

> Thank you for the kind words Kristin! It has been a pleasure working with you on all of your projects! We appreciate you choosing Greenridge for your landscaping needs!

**★★★★★ — sancbry, March 2016**

> A car hit the retaining wall in my front yard. The people at Greenridge Landscaping were patient and worked with us & the insurance company to restore my yard and make it beautiful again.

  - Description: This has been an ongoing project of new plantings over several acres around the rural residence. In addition to the new planting beds we have refined and enhanced the existing plantings many times over many seasons. A patio with rustic tumbled pavers and sandstone steps and planters was one of the latest enhancements. The addition of a grill island built with sandstone blocks and a granite counter top followed quickly. More than 25,000 bulbs have been planted in masses and drifts of color using…
