We originally set up a meeting through the website as it indicated, but then quickly received a cancellation notice without reason, so I reached out via email, and Dave Rooney responded saying he would be out of town that day. Even though I found it odd that no explanation was given until I reached out, I set up another appointment with him through our email discussion.
The day of that meeting, he was just a no-show. We called and emailed again, but never received a response. I know schedules change, especially this time of year, but there is just no excuse for not showing up and not communicating with prospective clients.

Rooney Landscape is excellent. They are very hard-working, competent and responsive. The owner, Dave Rooney, is extremely knowledgeable and patient. He takes the time to explain the job and takes a personal interest in the work that is being done. Also, on a personal level, he is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I very highly recommend Rooney Landscape!

I cannot say enough about the quality of work performed by Rooney. Not to mention that their crews are respectful and meticulous (my property was cleaned daily). Rooney was responsive to my issues and addressed them all. Additionally, he personally oversaw the work himself. I am very pleased with how my yard turned out and have had numerous compliments from family and friends on the results. If you need any landscape work, look no further - Rooney Landscape will get your work done!

Our project was originally very generic and plain as we had no idea what we could do with our backyard. We assumed that because our yard was small that we would need to have a small square patio in order to keep some grass. However, after meeting with Rooney we had more options than what we originally thought. a quote was provided highlighting the options so we knew the different costs associated with the project.
We did not do everything, but are so happy with the final result. We are enjoying our backyard as a family which we were not doing before. His team was quick and clean and extremely professional. We could not be happier with our backyard!

I use Rooney for my fall clean up and all shrub trimming. September 17th I had rotate cuff surgery. I reached out to Rooney landscape if they would be able to cut my yard for the duration of 2019 season. Jon C. e-mailed me back and told me that they would probable be able to help out. Lord and behold the following week I cam home and my yard was done.
They really do a fantastic job and the trimming is far better than any one else. I have a previous landscaper who hacked my bushes. It was the worst job I have ever seen. What makes Rooney so good is it you have a problem or need some thing they return calls and fix it. A+. Thanks again.

Rooney is the hands down the best landscaping company in Arlington Heights. Jon is amazing to work with and does first class work. Our yard has never looked better once Rooney started taking care of it. We even had them replace some of the dead ornamental plants and shrubs and they did a great job at a fair price. Highly recommended!

More than pleased with the job done on my new patio by Rooney and crew. The bluestone patio turned out wonderfully with numerous compliments from my neighbors and friends. The craftsmanship done on the curved cuts and seating wall by the skilled stonemason is truly outstanding. The crew worked tireously to remove and build the new patio as quickly and professionally as possible with no extra costs. I am very happy with my new patio and highly recommend Rooney Landscape.

We hired Rooney Landscape to do all some landscaping work for us and they exceeded our expectations. I dealt with David the entire time, and I can not say enough good words about this company. Amazing quality, punctual, all at a reasonable price. The recommendations are spot on, and David never tries to upsell, just listened and delivered a great project. Highly recommended!

We moved to a home with very dated landscape and patio pavers, but of most concern was our backyard water issues. After meeting with multiple landscapers and a city engineer, we knew we wanted to work with Rooney and his team and we haven't regretted that decision a bit. 3 years later, we look forward to every job with them from landscape maintenance, seasonal clean ups, and further landscape installations. Dave Rooney, John Fitzgerald, and their crew turned our swampy useless backyard into a complete oasis with a beautiful paver patio and fire pit.
This group is so easy to work and communicate with, incredibly accommodating, understanding of our needs and interests, and professional above all. I refer every friend and neighbor I have to Rooney and always will.

I had a major landscaping project completed in the fall of 2013. I hired Rooney Landscape to do the project. The project was completed correctly, efficiently and timely beyond my expectations. The various crews were professional and on time. They answered all my questions (and I had many) to my satisfaction. Either for a small or big landscape project I would whole heartedly recommend Rooney Landscape to anyone.

Some years ago, I relocated from a Chicago bungalow with a postage stamp sized lawn to a home in Palatine that sported a lawn that to me was the size of the Ponderosa. So one of our early to-do items was to acquire a landscaping service to handle the outside work. We got the name of the place the prior homeowner had used, and after talking to the business owner / manager, I engaged him for the upcoming season. Regrettably, the service was very poorly performed, and the lawn was in bad shape.
My wife and I talked to him and he agreed to do a better job. Later on, a substantial part of the front lawn suddenly was dead. We didn't hear from the manager, so I sought him out to find out what happened. The manager confused a tank of weed killer with fertilizer. Where he "fertilized" the lawn it died. He stated his intention to dig out the dirt and plant grass.
He did this to little avail. Based on what I heard from a neighbor, I called up Rooney Landscape. Their representative walked the lawn with me and noted where some extra service would be needed to meet my requirements. Costs were discussed and fairly presented. It is clear what costs what. The quote was, and the price is, on the expensive side. You should be aware that Rooney is not a bargain basement landscaping service.
But based on a couple of years working with Rooney, I can say that the work is quite well done and that our property has never looked better. Also, when I ask for something to be done -- it promptly gets done without my need to nag. It gets well done. I strongly encourage you to talk to Rooney if you need any kind of landscaping service. The value of my home has benefitted from their landscaping and attending to the things outside the door.

Rooney Landscape worked in our backyard to completely re-engineer a corner lot with a small back yard. Wow the results are outstanding - everyone loves what they accomplished! Even better was the quality of their designer, team of installers and follow through. Everyday was well planned and organized with visits from the designer and project manager!
The quality of products chosen and even more important was the care for what you don't see. Prior to building the ground was graded correctly, utilities moved accordingly and drainage issues cared for. Our final project completed on-time and on-budget and has forever changed our backyard for years of enjoyment in a beautiful space! 5 STARS!
