We bought a brand new house that came with large yards but no landscaping. The designers at James Martin created a 3 year plan to spread the costs. All phases are now complete and we love the final product. All the workers have been friendly, expert and extremely hard working. We get so many compliments from neighbors and even passers-by!

The team at Martin Associates is top notch, highly knowledgeable and responsive. I've been with them for many years and they handle all my yard maintenance and renovations flawlessly. I especially recommend Vince Callahan. He is a pleasure to work with and transforms my ideas in to beautiful garden areas.

Martin Associates designed and constructed a new stone patio and surrounding landscaping for us in summer 2021. Our designer Janet Cherbak really listened to our input and produced an elegant design that fit our space and incorporated extra features like a seat wall, gas fire bowl and completely new drainage system. Janet oversaw all aspects of design and construction, which was completed on time and on budget. We have gotten great enjoyment from our new patio and expect to keep using it well into the fall.

Star Auto Authority in Vernon Hills has been a client for years. Martin is simply the best of the best for landscaping services and snow removal. Martin keeps our business campus lawn and plantings healthy, neat and tidy. During the winter they have the heavy snow removal equipment that is required to plow our large parking lot completely in minutes and its always plowed before we open for business at 7am.

We worked with a landscape architect, Janet C., to redesign our very small backyard. We wanted a private, beautiful space to relax and also an area to garden for our children. Janet provided three wonderful designs with different price points. We were able to choose what we liked and combine to a final design with Janet's expertise. There was significant additional labor involved due to a gas line needing to be up to code and moved.
We were not charged for this additional labor from James Martin, only for the expense for the gas company Janet needed to hire. The men who performed the labor worked very hard, full days and were very respectful and artistic. I called Janet 6 months after the completion of our project to ask about the health of our shrubs and trees. She came out again and called to coach me through how to take care of them, and I will call again in the spring if any need to be replaced, as James Martin has a one year warranty. Overall, we are extremely pleased and so glad we went with such a professional company due to the fact we ran into a few complications with a gas line! Everything was taken care of and Janet remained positive the entire time! Highly recommend James Martin if you want things done right, safely and beautifully!

My experience with J. Martin & Associates has been awesome since taking over the Property Managers position at Park Lane! Our account Rep, Vince Callahan has never missed a beat on any of requests. His weekly visits to check up on things makes us feel VIP. Our property curb appeal is by far the best in all of Park Ridge. Thank you to Vince and the entire landscaping crew for all your hard work and dedication to our beautiful community!
