Great communication, very fast turnaround and wonderful end product. I was worried about the pavers being level after being removed and replaced but looks brand new!

Great efficient clean up, all ready for spring and summer. Perfect work.

The landscaping crew did a great job with our spring clean-up. They were efficient, careful and thorough.

The crew did a fantastic job, getting rid of winter debris and making everything look great.

I have been a client of Tommy Pollina for several years and their work is always consistent. My spring cleanup looks great!

Tommy Paulina landscaping did an excellent job. I live in Des Plaines and I’d happily recommend it for everybody.

– Tell them Laury sent you!!”

Great work by the entire team. Provided great design ideas and made great adjustments throughout the process.

They did a great job fixing a drainage issue in a house we recently purchased in Lake Zurich. Whitney was awesome to work with and extremely responsive.

We had a great experience working with Tommy Pollina on our front yard landscaping project. Very high quality end result and Whitney and the crew were great to work with. Thumbs up!

Overall landscape work is excellent. Leaves the yard in good shape.

Moreover, bushes that were trimmed were perfect. Not sure where there would have been any room for complaint. Just a great job.

Reliable and courteous workforce.

Did a great job on our backyard sod. Looking forward to spending the summer months with our new grass

5 Stars – Excellent Service and Outstanding Results!

I couldn’t be more pleased with the exceptional service I received from Tommy Pollina Landscape! From start to finish, they exceeded my expectations in every way. The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of landscaping. They transformed my yard into a beautiful, well-maintained outdoor space that I can now enjoy year-round.

I truly appreciate their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction which is why we also refer them to our real estate clients. If you’re looking for reliable and top-notch landscaping services, I highly recommend Tommy Pollina. They’ll go above and beyond to deliver stunning results!

I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service and transformation provided by Tommy Pollina landscaping! From the initial inquiry call to the completion of the project, the entire process took less than 4 weeks – impressive!

The team did an outstanding job leveling my backyard and completely transforming my front yard. Their expertise in grading ensured that water now flows away from my house’s foundation, giving me peace of mind.

The communication throughout the project was top-notch, and I appreciated the regular updates. The crew’s professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence are truly commendable.

I’m overjoyed with the final result and can’t recommend Tommy Pollina landscaping enough! If you’re looking for a reliable, efficient, and talented landscaping company, look no further. Five stars aren’t enough – I’d give them ten stars if I could!

I can’t say enough great things about Tommy Pollina Landscape Company! From our very first consultation to the final walkthrough, their professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail stood out in every phase of the project.

We had a large in-ground pool in our backyard that we no longer used, and it had become more of a burden than a benefit. I was a little nervous about the idea of removing it, but the team at Tommy Pollina made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They handled the pool removal with care and precision, and their efficiency was truly impressive. You would never know there was ever a pool there!

But the transformation didn’t stop there. They installed a beautifully designed retaining wall that not only solved a grading issue but also added a level of visual appeal and structure to the yard that was missing before. Their design blended perfectly with the overall landscape and elevated the entire look of the space.

They also laid down fresh, healthy sod and added new landscaping throughout the yard, carefully selecting plants and materials that complement the space and will thrive long-term. Their knowledge of landscape design really shows — it looks incredible now, like a totally new backyard.
What really stood out to me was their communication and customer service. The crew was punctual, respectful, and hard-working every single day. They took the time to listen to my goals and made suggestions that improved the final outcome. Every step of the way, I felt informed, involved, and confident that I had chosen the right company.

Now, instead of a dated pool taking up space, we have a lush, functional, and beautiful yard that we can actually enjoy. Friends and family have been blown away by the transformation. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Tommy Pollina Landscape Company again or recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier landscaping partner. They delivered results beyond what I imagined, and I’m truly grateful for their exceptional work.

Tommy Pollina is an excellent company to work with. They actually tried to talk me out of some work that may have made them more money but was not necessary to solve the scope of work for my project. Joe is a seasoned veteran in the landscaping game and a pleasure to work with. Everyone in their office is helpful and easy to get a hold of it you ever need a problem solved. I highly recommend them for your landscaping or excavating needs!

I have been working with Tommy Pollina Landscaping for several years and I have been very pleased with their work. I had an issue with water accumulating in my backyard. (Mallards came to swim it was so bad!) They regraded the yard, put in a French drain and installed an ejector pump and my water problems no longer exist. The company also landscaped the front and back yard and did a beautiful job. They also provide my weekly lawn service. I highly recommend Tommy Pollina for all of your landscaping needs.

Very Professional Clean Job. Highly Recommend by others, I was very pleased by their Service.

Joe and his team at Tommy Pollina have done an absolutely incredible job on multiple large projects for us. First to design and install a drainage system in our backyard that hooks into the city’s storm drain system which has completely eliminated our yard’s horrible flooding problems. Second we had them design & install a brick paver patio spanning the length of an addition we put onto the back of our house. Lastly we had them completely re-grade and re-sod both the backyard and front yard after all that was finished. All massive projects on their own. Joe is a mastermind landscape architect, takes the time to get to know our family and our home, and has the skilled team to carry out the vision from start to finish. Even our neighbors can’t compliment us enough on how great it looks! Highly recommend to everyone.

We used Tommy Pollina Landscaping (Mt. Prospect, IL) to fix all of the drainage problems that we were having in our backyard and our side yard. Larry, our salesman was very thorough, which, of course we appreciated. Once the guys came to do the job, their work was GREAT!!! They were professional, hard-working and accommodating!!! Their work was EXCELLENT!!!

They worked hard, and helped us to achieve exactly what we were looking for. They laid sod in our backyard after they laid all of the PVC piping to fix the drainage issues. The sod looked really good, as did the way that they installed the PVC piping.

A huge shout out to the foreman, Alfonso, who was our main point of contact once the job began. He was understanding of our concerns and made sure that he accomplished all of our requests. After they were done, Alfonso and the team cleaned up and made our backyard and side yard look really good. During the project, to our surprise, the owner, Joe Pollina came to our house to check things out. He assured us that if we needed anything further that they would come back and fix whatever needed fixing. That was fantastic, and we really appreciated him coming out and meeting him. It was a really great and positive experience with Tommy Pollina Landscaping. Thank you so much for everything!!!

I had a wonderful experience working with the professionals at Tommy Pollina. They were experts in solving the drainage problems around my property. They stand behind their work and exceeded my expectations for what I consider a fair and reasonable price. I would highly recommend them.

We used Tommy Pollina for installing better drainage in our yard and his crew did a very good job. From start to finish they worked all day and replanted new grass (seedlings) in areas that were affected. The grass is already growing back.
Tommy Pollina landscaping also trimmed our tall bushes in our yard and they now look much better.
Their crew cleaned up our yard nicely and we would definitely use their services, when needed in the future.

Tommy Pollina’s team was easy to work with, they worked with the County to follow regulations and to seek the proper permits needed. The drainage project work is great and was just in time for all the rainy weather!

I am thrilled with the work they did and absolutely recommend them.

We had an old French drainage system in our backyard that was no longer able to disburse the water correctly. This was causing pooling and buildup, making about a quarter of our backyard mushy and unusable.

We had 3 different companies come out to give us estimates. Not only did Tommy take cost into consideration, but his design best suited our concerns and goals. They ripped out the old drainage system and replaced it with a longer run of perforated PVC that was able to tap into an existing underground drain system. They also added a large underground flo well to handle the excess water.

They worked fast and were done in one day and cleaned up beautifully. Afterwards, we had a lot of rain in early May and the new system handled it all.

Tommy and his team gave us our backyard back. Thank you!

I recently moved to Arlington Heights from SC and was in over my head with snow removal. Tommy Pollina took expert care of my property – so much so that I renewed my service with them spring through fall and plan on doing so again for winter. If you’re on the fence about whether or not it’s worth it to hire anyone, let alone Tommy Pollina, let me tell you – IT’S WORTH IT!

Joe Pollina’s expertise with plants helped us create a lovely, unique front landscape to complement our hundred year old house. His choices were perfect for the west exposure and were strong healthy plants. His men were polite and easy to work with and always seemed to be neat and careful. The project turned out great, but it didn’t happen over night. Patience is necessary for the best results.

We have employed this firm for three major projects, two landscaping and one water management. All were provided at a resonable price and executed as promised with great quality. Nice people too. Highly recommend!

We have used Tommy Pollina Landscaping for years and just love them! The owner is very knowledgeable and conscientious. Ever since they planted our flowers and bushes years ago, our home has never looked lovelier on the outside. They did an amazing job with our brick pavers and sod installation as well. Their office staff is wonderful to work with too. I give them five stars across the board!

I’ve worked with Tommy Pollina Landscaping for more than 30 years. Installations of live goods, Hardscaping, and yard drainage systems. As well as weekly maintenance. They are professional, knowledgeable, and fair.

I have used Tommy Pollina Landscaping for 15 years, they have transformed my yard from Ordinary to Fantastic. I get compliments on my yard every day. I even have them do weekly maintenance and the men are very professional and neat, they go out to give you a outstanding job every time.

30 years as a highly satisfied customer of Pollina Landscaping only begins to state how wonderful this company is! Whether it’s creative, beautiful landscaping or regular maintenance, their service can’t be beat. Try them. You’ll thank me!

Pollina has taking care of our home in Park Ridge and lake house in Antioch for many years.
They have provided the best service.
Lorenzo by far is so knowledgeable all the crew are polite and professional.
Joe Pollina our yard would not look so good without you.
I highly recommend this service.

I cannot recommend Tommy Pollina Landscape Company enough. I first used them for drainage issues. I was so pleased with the integrity of the crew that I hired them the following spring to update my garden. They are truly a company to call for your irrigation/landscaping needs.

Joe and his crew did an excellent job solving our water issues from heavy rains. Regrading our yard to get the water away from the house was accomplished with their expertise. No more anxiety when the weather turns bad. Great job and would recommend….

Excellent Service for 20 years at my home. The Crews are very respectful and my lawn- flowers and brick patio look amazing every year. I highly recommend Tommy Pollina.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality.
Could not be more pleased with the beautiful job in transforming my gardens to a fall look that is absolutely beautiful. Thanks to the Tommy Pollina Team!

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value.

We had bushes in front of our place that had been there for over 50 years. They were completely overgrown and out of control! Our neighbor has used Tommy Pollina for years and suggested we give them a try. Joe came over and made some suggestions. we gave him the go ahead and after some back and forth we settled on design and plants. His crew came out and in a half day ripped out all the roots, added soil and put in all the plants! It was like a miracle! They cleaned up after and you wouldn’t know they were there except for our beautiful front yard! Thanks, Joe and crew!nt yard! Thanks, Joe and crew!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness.
Beautiful landscape that is enjoyed by all.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value.

I recently had the pleasure of working with the amazing team at Pollina Landscape Company, and I can’t recommend them enough! They did an absolutely incredible job on my property, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
From start to finish, Pollina Landscape Company was a pleasure to work with. Their team was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and they were always available to answer any of my questions or concerns. They listened carefully to my needs and preferences, and were able to create a custom landscaping plan that perfectly fit my vision.

The work itself was nothing short of incredible. The team was meticulous in their attention to detail, and their craftsmanship was simply outstanding.

Positive: Professionalism. 

Always great work by true professionals.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value.
Wonderful experience!! The landscape design process was super easy and ver professional. We put the project off for many years and regret that we waited so long! Now we can use and enjoy our backyard! Thanks!!

I had a small project. Many companies wouldn’t return my call or show up for an estimate appointment. Tommy and his crew were very responsive. I am very happy with my new garden.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value.
Joe Pollina and his team do a great job! I highly recommend them for any landscaping and/or drainage issues you may have. Weekly lawn maintenance is great and very reasonable pricing for all projects.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness. 

We hired Tommy Pollina to re-grade and re-sod our front yard. Theirs wasn’t the lowest estimate, but we’re glad we went with them.

Joe came out and assessed the project and filled us in on all of our options. He and his staff communicated exactly what would be done and when it would be done, no surprises. They tore out the old turf, rototilled the underlying soil, augmented it with additional topsoil, did a rough grade, a final grade and then laid down 380 rolls of sod. Even with the large crew he committed, the project took several days to complete.

The crew was efficient, clean and did a fantastic job. The crew chief was very professional. Joe came out midway through the project to make sure everything was proceeding as planned. He and I talked for a long time about what was being done and how to properly care for the lawn afterwards.
We couldn’t have asked for better results or a better crew and staff to work with. Very pleased.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness.
We have been dealing with water drainage issues in the back yard and between our house and a neighbors. We always had half of our driveway covered with ice most of the winter and the backyard couldn’t be mowed till late May because of the wet and soft soil. Tommy Pollina came out and assessed the situation and put together a plan to remedy the issue. This was the first winter without ice covering the bottom half of the driveway, and the backyard was mowed several times in April. We recommend their services, listen to their proposal and do not short cut it. Great Job!!!!

Very happy with their snow removal contract. They do an excellent job in a timely manner whenever it snows.

Amazing service done by this company. Great staff who is very friendly and definitely show passion for their job.

Excellent work done laying sod on my front Skokie lawn. Thank you Mr.Tommy Pollina, well done

I’ve used Tommy Pollina for 2 different landscape projects now and they have delivered exceptional work on both of them.

Very satisfied with the entire process. They went above and beyond beyond installing our patio, fire pit, and mulch. The process was very smooth start to finish

Quick response and excellent outcome by Designer, Whitney and the Pollina crew. We had a deluge of rain that saturated our yard. After grading our yard beautifully, issue solved within a couple days.

Needed some love in my backyard, you guys came out quickly, the price was right, and the work was exceptional, thanks!

Crew did a good job after old snow removal company did not show up after big snow and it sat for 4 days and they have been on top of things ever since

A fantastic fall clean up!

They did a terrific job cleaning up my property. Especially the large area of tall grass that has to be cut down and removed for spring growth.

After some negotiation over plans and costs, everything went very smoothly. Whitney was very helpful and pleasant to work with.

5 stars all day. If you’re looking for reliable, talented landscapers who truly care about their work, look no further. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to elevate their outdoor space or get landscape service

Excellent snow removal services. Snow is removed down to the sidewalk leaving no ice buildup afterward. Reliable, professional and respectful to homeowners property. Highly recommend.

First year for this service and it was great! Removal was extremely prompt and the workers did a great job of getting all the snow down to the pavement. Price is a bit high but would recommend and will be using them again next year.

Snow was removed quickly and after another snowfall, Tommy Pollina crew returned within a few hours. They followed my specific instructions and I am very pleased with their snow removal service.

It took me a long time to find a reliable, reasonably priced snow removal service for small condo associations in Park Ridge, but Tommy Pollina Landscape has been great so far. They’re prompt, professional, and thorough. Couldn’t be happier with the start of the season!

I have never regretted making that first call, and will be using Joe and his great crew for years to come. Friendly, polite service from Joe, the crews, and the delightful office staff.

After plumbers destroyed my front lawn, I took the opportunity to get it redone. Now it looks better than it has in decades, both the grass, plants, and brickwork!

They did a great job! Landscape Designer was very knowledgeable, helpful and practical. I am really happy with the service I received!

Excellent design work. Excellent work crew.

These guys work HARD and did a really good job clearing my property and then planting 10 ornamentals including four 5-8′ trees. Plus Whitney was more than capable in advice, including the best choices for replanting my newly cleared property
