We really love our new stonework from Matt The Garden Guy! The driveway retaining wall and steps look great, and are incredibly sturdy – they will outlast us all. Matt paid a lot of attention to details like installing a drainage system and geo-grid reinforcement to make them so. The front walkway is a work of art – we keep getting compliments from passers-by. One reason we hired Matt is because we could see he had an eye for artistic touches, and also for fitting into the surrounding landscaping. His work crew were also very skilled, and the results show it. Color us very happy!

We have used Matt at A Garden Guy Landscaping twice and have been ecstatic with his work. He manages to make everything WAY better than we could have ever imagined it. He is creative and willing to work with you to put together a landscaping plan you will love. We have more work to do around our house and Matt is the only guy I’ll call!!

We hired A Garden Guy Landscaping to complete a drainage project and Matt and his crew did an excellent job. There was a great deal of paperwork to complete for the project and he went above and beyond to make everything was completed. Also, communication was great with Matt, anytime I called he returned the call promptly. And the project turned out great. I recommend A Garden Guy 100% and will ask him back for other landscaping projects. Thanks, Matt!!

Matt and his crew recently completed landscaping the front yard of our townhouse. We love the new look. His company had been recommended to me and we communicated completey by e-mail. He was most responsive. I highly recommend his compamy for your landscaping needs. — Sheila S., Hoffman Estates (Google)

I recently had Matt at A Garden Guy Landscaping work on my backyard. I was so thrilled with the job that he and his crew did. My yard was a mess and a real eyesore. It's beautiful to look at now. I plan to work with Matt again to have some creative planting done. I highly recommend this company. — Jane P., Chicago (Google)

Matt and his crews were top notch. Good communication. Flexible. The crews worked quickly and work was of high quality. We're fully satisfied with the final results - a full landscape overhaul following a home construction project. We'll be back as customers. Highly recommended! — Joel Childs (Google)

Matt and his crew were an absolute delight to work with. They made our mess of patio and sidewalk look amazing! Their design was beautiful and the work was done quickly. I couldn't be happier.

We loved working with Matt at a Garden Guy. He was easy to work with and created a beautiful design solution for our backyard. I look forward to working with A Garden Guy Landscaping again. — Megan N

Matt is a great professional to work with. Provides great pricing and quality work for the job we have requested. We had our boring grass filled backyard redesigned and a brick walkway from the side of the house installed.

Professional recommendations and advice were also given even though it wasn't part of the work that he was doing and he made sure to have their job done in a timely manner.

Would definitely hire him for the next project we have planned. — selevengallery (Houzz.com)

I have had The Garden Guy lawn maintenance for over a year now! My property has never looked better! I highly recommend Matt's service! — Nell Alderson (Facebook)

We hired Matt to design a brick paver patio for us and couldn't be happier with the results! There was so much to do...remove our old deck & concrete patio beneath, level off the back yard, and finally put in our new patio and walkway, but he made sure he stayed on schedule and within budget. Now, this spring we'll be ready with a great outdoor space to entertain and enjoy with the family! We've got plenty more work to be done and he'll be the first we call! — September, 2014

Matt and his team did a great job with our landscaping and came in under budget! He listened to our requests and used his knowledge to pick out great products to make our landscaping look great! He also did our front porch and walkway with pavers that make it look stunning. We will definitely be using his services again in the future as we make more updates to our home. — bethdiviacchi (Houzz.com)

Couldn't be happier with our deck install and shrubbery re-arrangement . Matt and his crew were punctual, meticulous and courteous throughout the whole process. We decided to do this project with very little notice and Matt worked us in to his schedule very quickly. I would recommend his company for any landscaping needs.

We believe that Matt provided excellent service at a very reasonable price and recommend his design services without reservation. — July, 2014

We had a great experience with the Garden Guy's. Not knowing specifically what we needed to change but only that we needed a "yard overhaul", Matt was able to give us ideas about which shrubs to use and how to organize everything in a nice layout. They even transplanted existing shrubs to areas that made more sense. We added a fence and a dog run that really have made the yard look beautiful. We have been very happy with how everything turned out. — jessmurphy (Houzz.com)

We hired Matthew for two projects and he did a great job on both of them. The first was to create raised beds for a vegetable and herb garden, the second to plant the side beds of our new condo. Both projects were completed very timely, the vegetable garden thrived and his prices were very reasonable. — October, 2013

We built a new house on a teardown lot and wanted to retain some of the existing landscaping while also incorporating substantial new plantings. Matt created a design that seamlessly blended old and new and added lots of color and texture. We especially appreciated Matt's ability to work with some challenging locations (dry shade, etc.). The results are beautiful and will be even more so once the plants reach their mature size.

My fiancée and I recently purchased a house and began the process of making it our own. One of the projects, which are ongoing, is to liven up our backyard. Earlier in the year,  a garden guy planted 50+ flowers/shrubs along the perimeter of the backyard. An additional recommendation was to install a vintage whiskey barrel to catch rainwater. Overall, the look of the backyard has been greatly enhanced and we have received many compliments, especially on the whiskey barrel.

A garden guy is a pleasure to work with, knowledgeable and fair on pricing. Next year, we plan on using him for work along our driveway, as well as the installation of landscape lighting. — May, 2013
