Eddie and Carlos were quite professional and creative in designing and supervising an experienced crew of stone installers to re-build/re-set at stone terrace wall and completely re-design and install new waterfall pools. Magazine quality. They were timely, reported progress, explained the process and quality components (unseen) and have been back frequently to verify the system is working to our wishes. They always left the jobsite clean, and at the completion of the work, re-planted plants and grass that had been removed or damaged in the process of the installation

I ma beyond frustrated as yo can see by my rating! Just getting the company to come out and take a look took multiple weeks with multiple calls. I spoke to Eddie 4 times - and every time I got a different story - please don't bother calling them unless your lawn can wait 2 months mine can't. I am disappointed as I did have high hopes for this!

After talking with many Hardscape/Patio contractors, we made the decision to work with NL Group for rebuilding our patio. Throughout the process Eddie and the NL team were true professionals. Commercially, they provide a fair value. Technically, they are very strong in using best practices, materials and methods in building a solid patio. They where very helpful throughout the process from design, material selection, and build with Eddie making multiple trips and design updates to finalize the plan.

The execution, managed by Carlos and team were flawless. It was a pleasure to watch true professionals executing their craft. Overall we are very satisfied with the results and would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

I have utilized The NL Group for several landscape projects in the last year. They are easy to work with and conduct themselves with a high degree of professionalism. Alex and his team's follow through is always on point with the details and follow up after the project is complete.

The NL Group completed three projects for us. The work for each was labor intensive. We were very satisfied with the end results. Their work is excellent. I would recommend the NL Group. Be advised that they can be a little slow returning a phone call.

Rob was exceptional in all aspects of our multiple projects. The design was creative and innovative. For our first project we had designs and quotes done by multiple companies. NL's design was the best of all and the price was by far better than the others. We did not sacrifice quality for the savings. NL did an impeccable job, working through bad weather and always on time.

After a big rain storm, they had to hand empty a flooded area that had been dug l out the day before. They didn't miss a beat. I have had so many friends, neighbors, and even strangers ask who did our work. It is very impressive! After the first project we decided not to bother with designs and quotes from other companies. NL is our go to! They are also responsive post project when issues arise and creative with solutions. I highly recommend them! Rob is the best!

We used NL landscape for decades at our previous home on an acre lot in Deer Park. I cannot speak highly enough of the incredible service provided by Alex and the rest of the company over the 30 years we lived there. We are now in a condo in Evanston so no longer in need of any of the tasks they helped us with over the years - mowing - weeding - mulch delivery and spreading - shrub trimming - trimming low tree branches - spring and fall cleanups - removal of tons of pea gravel and a railroad tie border left at the far back lot of our acre lot left from an old swingset - dead tree and shrub removal - reseeding sparse lawn areas - brick walkway powerwashing/sealing and repair - and much more I'm probably forgetting!

Oh and snowplowing! And just remembered another one - after the kids were grown and gone they also removed our old basketball hoop that was encased in cement. I'll remember more after I click submit of course. Attached pic is of our old home in Deer Park which Alex and crew cared for over the 30 years we lived there. Bottom-line - this group will bend over backwards to do whatever you ask. The best of the best.

Very happy with the work Alex and team did on a new paver patio a few years ago. We have recommended NL group to several people since. We have also used their services to repair a 15 year old patio on another property and it looks as good as new. Highly recommend for professional service and timely completion of job! We picked NL group for the first job after receiving multiple competitor quotes. NL group was the most reasonably priced of them all!

We couldn't be more pleased with the work done by Alex and team at the NL Group and the outcome of our project. Their attention to detail and customer service were second to none. We happily recommend them for any landscaping project you might have!
