Testimonials

We arrived home today at the same time your crew was arriving to cut our lawn.  Tim, who is now using a cane since he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, got out of the car to bring up the garbage cans.  I parked the car in the garage and went to assist him only to find one of your guys bringing up both cans and placing them outside our garage.  This action was totally above and beyond, and I wanted you to know how much we appreciate what he did. 

I don’t know if we have the same crew every week, but they are always very professional, kind and thorough. 

Hi Dave,

My wife Janet and I want to thank you and your very dedicated and professional team for all of the work that was done with the new landscaping at our home in Palatine. 

We want to especially thank Caesar and Francisco for all of the hard work that was done at our home.  These men worked very hard in spite of the hot temperatures and did an excellent job.  We discussed the many details of the project during the installation and they answered all of our questions and concerns without hesitation. We are very pleased with the results and getting many compliments from our neighbors on the excellent design of the new plant material.

Thank you again for a job well done!

Dave,

I wanted to email you to tell you how happy I am with the work your company did on my landscaping. Both my front yard and back yard look amazing. It really is amazing how much work can be done in a day or two.

I also appreciate your idea of less is more. After you removed much of the excess landscaping from previous owners it made an enormous difference. The landscaping looks so clean and calm, as I said I really can’t express how happy I am.

Finally, your crew was outstanding. Not only did they work extremely hard they were very kind and polite. They made the whole process easy and took care of everything. Working in the hospitality industry I know how difficult it can be to find a great crew, and you have done that. That crew was terrific.

Again, thank you for making my property look so much better. Every time I pull into my driveway or sit on my patio it looks so good.

My husband and I would like to commend Caesar and Francisco, two workers who did work for us from Rooney Landscaping under the supervision of our talented landscape designer John Fitzgerald.  

We have worked with other landscaping companies in the 30 years we lived in our home, but this is the first time we are writing to comment on the work ethic and personalities of the workers.  

They always arrived on time and worked diligently and tirelessly throughout the day.  They were as quiet as possible and unobtrusive. We appreciated that they cleaned up daily.    When we saw them in person, they always greeted us kindly and politely and answered any questions we had. 

We feel that the crew is an integral part of the company and it is obvious that they are well-trained and knowledgeable.  We look forward to working with your company in the future.  

Dave and John,

Donna and I just wanted you guys to know that we are very happy with our new front yard.   We have received numerous positive comments from our neighbors that we know as well as strangers just walking by the house.  Please pass along our thanks to your crew.  They did a great job!

Regards,

Dave,

Just wanted to send you a quick note to personally thank you and your crews for the job they did over the last few weeks. As I said to you, we are more than happy to recommend you guys in the future to anyone that asks. We love the finished product and look forward to working with you in the future.

Best regards,

We’ve had planting done several times by Rooney Landscaping, but it never becomes an ordinary experience for the customers! In fact, it is always a special treat!

Thank you for the beautiful selection of plants and the fine work of your installation crew!

I recognized Caesar, the foreman of the crew, and knew we were in good hands! He is so capable and professional! Also, he leads an excellent crew of workers who are hard working and professional.

Of course, we’re indebted to your talented landscape designer and organizer, Barb Ottolino! She continues to amaze us with her knowledge, creativity, and passion for the outdoor environment of our home. She has always helped us capture the look of natural scenery that suits our wants, needs, and personalities!

We are confident and happy to always recommend Rooney Landscaping! Thank you, Jon, for your role in making customers love their outdoor scenery!

Jon,

This is an email I had thought to send several times before now, but this past May 21st we had a big High School Graduation Party for our grandson mostly outside. I had ask you to help us make sure we were looking our best and indeed you did. For maybe the first time ever we actually got compliments on how nice our yard looked! So thank you and your team; we continue to be very pleased with your service!

Dave,

We are very pleased with the our new patio and yard. The guys did a great job! They were all very friendly, courteous and professional. Everyone cleaned up after themselves before they left for the day.

We especially want to thank Tino and Francisco! They took great care and pride in their work! The patio looks great!

Thank you

Hey,

I just wanted to tell you what an awesome job your guys did. They truly exceeded our expectations!
We are excited about the rest of the work too.
Please convey our appreciation to the crew.

Dave,

It was nice to catch up with you last week. I’ve been meaning to send you a note but the days have been getting away from me. I wanted to make sure to acknowledge the team that worked at my house. I don’t remember their names but they did a great job and were so hard-working. I know from my own experience that moving those stones is very heavy and hard work. When I asked them to adjust a few stones they made sure they were all set. Additionally, they did a great job digging the trench for the gas line. I could never have gotten as deep as they did on my own. Hopefully it stays down for years to come.

As we discussed, I’ve had good experiences with your teams and this was no different.

I know you get lots of notes when things don’t go well. I just wanted to shoot one when it does.

Thanks again

Hi Dave and John,

I just wanted to send you a quick email to say the yard is looking great and we’re so excited to see the finished product! We also wanted to let you know how impressed we are with all the workers that have been here (Angel, Juan and the guys here now). They are VERY hard workers, work long hours, friendly and you can tell they really care about their work. I saw them out there with a measuring tape making sure everything was perfect and where it should be. We have really enjoyed working with both of you as well and appreciate your honesty, suggestions and help throughout the entire process. We can’t wait to enjoy our new yard!

Thank you so much!!

I am writing this testimonial because I feel that it is strongly deserved by Dave Rooney and his team. We had initially hired another landscaping company to re-do our patio with pavers and address a drainage and grading issue in the back yard. My husband and I quickly realized that the company we hired was not going to be able to meet our needs and expectations.

In a panic, I called Rooney Landscaping. I had heard that they are a state of the art landscaping company, but I didn’t call them because I knew that they would be more expensive. I spoke with Ann on the phone. She was super nice and she took the time to listen to our story. She contacted Dave and he came to our house that same day!

Dave literally came in like Superman and saved our project and our sanity! He took over and had his highly qualified team finish the project the way it should have been done in the first place. The quality of work was evident from the very beginning. After our lovely patio was completed, the drainage and grading issues were addressed. Rooney Landscaping buried our sump pump pipe and two down spouts that were an issue. It’s a beautiful thing not seeing puddles of water in our yard!

The point of this testimonial is that Dave is not only a professional at his job, but he is true to his word, on time and an overall nice person to work with. Although their work is a bit pricey, the quality of the work more than makes up for it. We got what we paid for and had a very positive outcome. Dave treated our home like it was his own. We can’t thank him enough! He and his crew really exceeded our expectations!

The two guys who worked on our front and back yards today were outstanding.

They made an extra effort to keep leaves from blowing in the pond and they cleaned out any that did.

They also cleaned out leaves from the bird bath and they did a great job edging and getting rid of dead stuff.

We have never been unhappy with a Rooney crew and it looks as if this year will be another good one.

We just wanted to let you know that we are very pleased with the project you just completed at our home. Your crew worked exceptionally hard on a difficult job. They were always kind enough to take the time to explain what they were doing and how the drainage system was going to work. It works well and looks great! We are particularly grateful for the professionalism and dedication of your workers. Thank you!
