There are over 10,000 landscape companies in the Chicagoland area alone, each with their own specializations and levels of expertise. There are very few regulations and an extremely low barrier to entry in our industry, leaving homeowners relatively helpless when it comes to selecting the right contractor for their needs. You certainly could ask your neighbors and friends who they used, but they have typically worked with only 1 or 2 contractors their entire lives.
At Ground Effects, we have been working with most northern Illinois contractors for over 25 years and have built a database of contractors that we know and trust. Once you have visited our store and are educated on all your options, let us help guide you to contractors that will execute your project to the standards you expect and deserve.
