I’ve been looking and looking for designs for our backyard, oh my goodness, you have to be the best we’ve seen! We’re in Texas, so it’s not practical to call you, but we are totally getting great ideas for our shady backyard forest! You definitely have a talent, and will be following you! Thank you for sharing your beautiful designs!!
Texas Fan!

Let me first start off by saying STOP, if you are looking at any other company’s when it comes to landscaping. Kevin and his team (shout out to Mario and Greg), were by far the most skilled crew we have ever hired/worked with for landscaping work. We have used some highly rated/reviewed companies for past projects, but KD Landscape is at a level all to themselves. I only wished we would have come across them 7-8 years ago when we began our outdoor projects. From start to finish, they were efficient, very skilled and approached the job from day 1 with a plan. You can tell a lot about a company when looking at their work trucks and equipment. All of theirs are newer and kept very clean. Because of the fantastic work KD Landscape did for us, we now have our dream backyard that we have been dreaming about ever since we built our home! Kevin, is a hands on owner and was a part of the process every step of the way. He and his crew's attention to detail put us at ease from the moment the project started. I couldn’t recommend them more to anyone. Fantastic Company!

KD was not the first landscape company we’ve worked with and we spent a fair amount of researching companies before selecting them for a phased residential project. We love to be outside and do a lot of gardening. Our site has more than the typical number of challenges (septic field, drainage, utilities, solid clay soil etc.) and of course the resident gardener (me) added more to the list – sympathetic to the site and a preferred style, durable and maintenance we can live with, wildlife friendly etc. We were looking for a partner that could take our ideas, enhance them (ok more likely “fix” them) and execute flawlessly. We couldn't be happier with our choice to work with KD and I feel lucky to have found them.
John “Algo” is a pleasure to work with, easy to talk with about your vision and very knowledgeable. He will honor your views/choices while politely and respectfully pushing you to consider other points of view and alternatives. He is a consummate professional, follows up precisely and is very timely. He also really respects the crews he works with and they deserve it. Our crew with Mario, Carlos and Angel was fantastic. They were incredibly nice, super easy to work with (including special pet logistics) and they are fantastic craftsmen.
The first phase was replacing and expanding an old patio and deck, completed in late 2020 a couple photos here toward the end of phase I but pergola went in. My photos don’t do justice to their work. More photos after the next phase in spring/summer 2021 which will focus on the plantings. KD is not the first landscaping company we’ve used, but based on the work so far they will happily be our last. Highly recommend!

Thank you to John, Rosa, Mario, and the entire K & D Landscape Management team for transforming our front entryway from a busy, drab look to a fresh, open, and beautiful space that we are proud to come home to! Every time I come home, I admire the landscape and smile at how amazing you all made it!! Your work has become the gold standard on what I expect from every contractor I interview, be it for HVAC work or painting or other home improvements. I can't say enough about the professionalism, consideration, and attention to detail displayed by each and every member of the K & D team. The pride in workmanship showed even more when the crew took pictures when everything was finished; like they couldn't wait to show off the job to their friends and family! The work was done within our budget, within our time frame, and the look absolutely blew us away. Thank you and I hope we can work together again soon!

We worked with John Algozinni, who met with us several times and addressed all of our concerns. Once the plans were approved and the project got started, it was impressive to see the entire team come together and finished our outdoor space within the timeline promised and beyond our expectations. If you’re looking for an outdoor design company, K & D’s crew did an excellent job and created a beautiful oasis, which we will enjoy for years to come.

Hi Lou. How very thoughtful of you to take the time and share your experience with us. So glad it worked out nicely and the working relationship was absolutely wonderful for us as well.

John Algozzini was FANTASTIC!
We built a new house and John's vision was exactly what we envisioned. There was constant dialog about our expectations and he was completely flexibly to make sure we received exactly what we wanted. From the patio color, design of the planting beds, vegetable garden etc., John was awesome.
His continual follow up was refreshing and appreciated and there was never a time when John or KD would settle for anything but excellence.
His knowledge and ideas are first rate and can not say enough about how pleased we were with the outcome.
Thank you John and KD Landscaping!

Thanks so much Terri. The guys love installing bluestone and I think the private nook is one that Dan and you will enjoy together for many years to come. I'm already looking forward to next year's spring rotation of annuals in the big planters. Check on Houzz tomorrow and you'll see a couple photos you might recognize in our project named "Container Arrangements". Thank you again for everything and for being appreciative of our efforts. It was an absolute pleasure.
Kind Regards,
John

John and his staff created a space that went well above and beyond what we could have imagined. Their expertise, care for detail, and overall project management are second to none. Any small issues or questions that we had were addressed or answered immediately. We look forward to enjoying & entertaining in our new outdoor space for years to come!

Thank you Dave (and Danielle). I hope the space provides years of enjoyment for your family and friends. It was a pleasure to do the work for you and the guys were proud of it. Sometimes the crew members are the toughest critics and when we finished the foreman looked at me and said, "This is it." It's on the list for 2022 photography! Thank you again for everything and for the review.
Best Regards,
John

We have nothing but praise, from start to finish on our project. John A. was wonderful to work with. He was able to translate our vision into something better than we could imagine on our own. Mario and his crew spent several weeks at our home, and always left our backyard neat and tidy. The pergolas were done with an expert eye and craftsmanship. John was flexible, as we made changes along the way, and came up with creative and functional solutions. We can't wait for next summer to fully enjoy all their hard work!

Thanks for the kind words about the team and the end result. The freedom to adjust and utilize our talents made all the difference in the final product. I hope the social spaces are meaningful and fun for friends, family, Bob and you over the years. It was a fun build for the men and me during the process. Keep me posted on who wins the family bocce championship! Best regards, John.

John A was so fabulous to work with! Our project was for a full makeover of a Lincoln Park wraparound front yard space. John came up with a brilliant design to give privacy, a new yard (for the pup!), new planting beds, and a gorgeous bluestone patio. The end result is breathtaking. Throughout the project, John would always take my calls, and his knowledge of plants and microclimates in Chicago was tremendously helpful. All the work was done in 3 days, and the crew was very professional and tidy. They had to haul in by hand nearly 40 trees, loads of sod and mulch, and they did it so efficiently and cleaned the sidewalks and patio meticulously each day before they went home. We love our new space, and the neighbors all agree it has raised the bar for our street! Thank you, John. It was such a delight to work with you and your team!

What a thoughtful review, Colette. It was a great experience transforming your space to be more private and also pet friendly. The men in the field make all the difference with their attention to detail and dedication to the craft. Raising the bar a bit for the neighbors is an added bonus. Best wishes for next season and beyond.

I have done a couple sizable projects with K&D Landscape over the last couple of years. Last summer we put in a beautiful bluestone patio and an incredibly designed (large!) backyard....every tree, bush, plant and blade of grass was installed. This year we put in a large (20' X 50") swimming pool. K&D designed and built a first class retaining wall, installed about a hundred arborvitae for total privacy, planted pallets of ground cover, bushes, grasses etc. The result is stunning!
John Algozzini was the designer on these assignments and he and his team did an unbelievable job. Not only is the hardscape and softscape spectacular, but the work process was exceptional. I always knew where I stood from a budget and schedule perspective! Not one surprise along the way!!
Thank you John and all the folks at K&D. I highly recommend this top tier company.

Thanks Kevin for that spectacular review! What a great experience it was for Matt, our production team, and me to work at your home. We were all delighted to provide service and talent as needed. Most importantly, I will forever remember the working relationship we had from the beginning of the process until its completion earlier this month. I hope the environment provides a lifetime of leisure for Amy, Stella, you and those that you share it with.
My best always,
John

K&D Landscape Management did an exceptional job on our project! From the planning stages, to changes that we made & add on's, to the finished product, we could not have been more pleased!
John is excellent with attention to details - from listening to our initial list of desires, to drawing up the design, to overseeing the entire project, to helping with all of the finishing touches, and providing the support contact that we needed throughout the entire project, he was always right there to guide us and keep the project moving. The entire staff was professional, clean, picked up after themselves, always showed up when they said they would, and were attentive to every request! This project was a huge undertaking and as each phase finished, our vision became reality!
We HIGHLY recommend K&D Landscape Management for their professionalism, design, and overall ease to do business with! We will cherish the work they did with all of our family and friends for years!

Sometimes it seems so ordinary because I have said it so many times, but I believe it every time I say it. "Great clients provide great opportunities to create great spaces." What an awesome experience it was to work with Rob and you, Lisa. Because you appreciated our efforts we worked that much harder to make sure those details were dialed in on all components. On behalf of Matt, Tony and the rest of the team at K&D I thank you once again.
