Land Leveling & Grading Companies in Shorewood Forest

“We think Corrie and her crew went above and beyond in our patio design. From the first visit to determine our patio design and needs to the finished product, her company was professional, timely and delivered a beautiful paver patio which meets all our needs. As the project went along we made a few changes that they quickly applied without hesitation. We would highly recommend them for anyone else considering patio installation and wouldn’t hesitate to employ them again. By the way, at the end of each day, everything was cleaned up and our yard was untouched by their equipment, what more can we say except Great Job, Green Crew! J. Kenealy Naperville”

“Mike and the crew at Elemental built my pizza oven and outdoor kitchen last year. It was another installment of the multi-year project that he drew a master plan for a few years ago. We love the pizza oven and the kids love to hang out around the fire in the evenings. This winter we had Elemental install an LED landscape lighting system, and next year we're going with a fiberglass pool. In short: professional, responsive, and the best workmanship I've seen. Thanks buddy!”

“Wilson Ware completely transformed our Chicago bungalow yard and landscaping. Our back yard was re-graded, hardscaped, and landscaped. Hardscape included a patio with paths to the sidewalk, alley, and space for the grill. It also included a seating wall around the giant silver maple tree. They laid down new sod and landscaped with region specific plants. They also built a fence around the entire back yard. The same care and attention was also given to our front and side yard with complimentary plants. John Ware was our designer and led the entire project from start to finish. We had been discussing our yard for years and never able to come to a decision on what to do. John came to our house and listened to our ideas, took what we said and blew us away on the first try! His design was more than we expected and we continue to appreciate what he came up with every time we're enjoying our yard. The project was very fairly priced and finished within a reasonable time. The only criticism we have is in John's responsiveness towards the end of the project, and in our interest to continue using Wilson Ware Group for ongoing landscape and maintenance.”

“I'm a resident in a 12 townhome "U"-shaped community with a courtyard and two "wing yards" stretching along the public sidewalk. Our landscaping at the beginning of the year (2016) consisted of 15 full grown trees, some shrubs, and struggling ground cover with a great deal of bare areas. The 30-foot trees dominated the landscape, inhibiting plant variety for lack of sunlight. Additionally, when it rained we experienced soil erosion spreading mud over the public sidewalk and courtyard walkway when it rained. This spring we (the townhome owners) decided to contact McAdam Landscaping for a remedy. Our contact person was Scott McAdam who presented us an elegant design. It called for the removal of all but two of the trees, arranging to have Davis Tree Care to handle that aspect (which they did very professionally), and the substitution of six ornamental trees and a wonderful variety of shrubs, conifers, perennials and ground cover laid out in a flowing, very aesthically-pleasing arrangement. The graphic plan placed little demand on us to envision what it would look like in the end. Scott worked with us to make a few minor adjustments that reduced the cost appreciably without departing from the overall design, displaying patience as we worked through the cumbersome internal process of deliberation, approval and payment collection. The plan was approved by the owners of all 12 townhomes at the very end of August and the job was completed in September. We are quite pleased with the final product. The mud erosion problem has been arrested. A neighbor who is an experienced gardner herself shared this: ""Scott's thoughtful design and vision has brought new energy and fluidity to our community courtyard. The use of native plants addresses our need for a low maintenance, high impact green space pleasing to the eye, and increasing our property value & appearance." Another neighbor added: "I also really appreciate his [Scott McAdam's] attention to color in all seasons. I loved how the bushes and trees turned this fall, and look forward to seeing the colors in the other seasons as well." The frog of a landscape we began the year with has been kissed. It's now a prince.”

“Spirited Gardner Julia Bunn in 2014 helped us design and build a rain garden for our condo that successfully and beautifully diverts storm water into our front yard in Chicago. Julia clearly explained which native plants would do well in our shady, sandy spot, and she provided us a clear map for our new garden. On "dig day" she did an excellent job of corralling our volunteer crew to ensure we correctly dug our rain swale and planted our plants. Julia also provided guidance over the summer on routine care and on how to put our garden to bed for the winter. I'm looking forward to seeing our rain garden evolve as it matures over the years. Overall, hiring Julia has been one of the best investments our condo has made in the past decade.”
