AJD Landscaping - Collinsville, Illinois

Wow...! Derek Johnson and AJD Landscaping produce what is promised and more....
Neighbors found them to complete a retaining wall and clean up/grading for their back yard - a mess. It came out WAY better than I envisioned (and certainly the owners are pleased as well). The crew is polite and works efficiently to get things done. At first I thought it was pricey?.. but after watching the project come together this was a massive effort to correct poor hillside grading from back to1978 when the house was built! Access was limited but they made it work! As neighbors we get to look out over a beautiful landscape now and lawn maintenance is vastly less!! A bargain really .. and I am "cheap".. coming from a history of doing all myself. They even returned after the recent wind and rain storms that blew and washed away seeding and straw to fix the damage - I'm impressed!

Since they were mobilized next door we decided to have our flower beds, some steps, drainage between the houses and other projects done. I must say that Troy is a true grading and stone artisan and best to give him an idea what you want, stand back and let him work his magic. As a way younger man I did all this type of work myself "to make sure it was right" - not any more. Trust AJD to complete your landscaping projects properly at a darn fair price! Be patient though as they are in demand for a reason...

AJD Landscaping just completed a major back yard improvement for us and we couldn’t be happier. Not only did they start the job early but worked longer days in very cold weather to get the job done and complete a day before Christmas. Troy and his crew worked hard to make sure every detail was perfect. They also communicated with us continually throughout the project just to make sure everyone was on the same page. Their staff is awesome!

I can’t say enough great things about AJD. Not only did we save thousands of dollars, we felt like we’re working with a class organization. Derek spends a bunch of time and money giving back to the community, supporting the chamber of commerce, several charities, and most importantly, other small businesses. They’ve gone out of their way to support businesses that have struggled this year. Thank You!

If you have a landscaping project on the horizon, call AJD!

AJD has completed 6 projects at our home over the last 7 years. Recently they expanded our lower level patio area and added a small patio/grill area off the side of our home. Derrick, AJ and company are great. From our initial discussion, to AJ's schematic layout, and to the actual building and project completion, AJD does a professional and a very high quality standard of work. Troy, Josh and Mark built our expanded patio area and were courteous, hardworking and really paid a lot attention to detail which made our project special. I highly recommend AJD, as I have in the past to many of our family, neighbors and friends. We have never been disappointed!!

Our experience with AJD Landscaping was fantastic from the first moment Derek met us at our home for our initial consultation. He worked with our ideas, budget and vision to create an incredible space in our backyard. We had high expectations for AJD and they met every single one. We would recommend this crew to anyone looking for a professional, quality and affordable crew to do work anywhere in their yard. Thanks Derek, AJ and Crew. We love our backyard!

We have used AJD Landscaping for 2 projects now and they did an awesome job both times. They did our landscaping in our front yard for the first project, which turned out great. Most recently, they built a new patio in our backyard, along with a small retaining wall and some landscaping. We are thrilled with how everything turned out. All our neighbors and friends have been very impressed with the finished work. There is constant communication from start to finish, the workers are professional and courteous, and most importantly, they stand behind their work and make sure you are satisfied before the project is considered done. Overall, we have had a great experience with AJD Landscaping both times and would highly recommend using them.

AJD recently completed a project in our yard.  We got 3 bids, not only was AJD’s the best price, but also Derek provided the most valuable input and was able to give good suggestions.  We changed our minds on the plan quite a few times before and during the project and they showed no frustration with any of this.  While they were working, they continuously had us come out and make sure things were looking the way we expected and asked us how we wanted them to proceed on some unclear parts.  The communication, the friendliness, and the work they did was amazing.  Highly recommend AJD.

Derek and his team recently finished our patio. He was easy to work with, fairly priced, and the AJD crew did an amazing job. 5 stars for sure.

AJD has done a fantastic job rehabbing and adding to our existing patio. The first landscaper we hired did a horrible job and never showed up to try to repair his work. It was so bad we felt that it needed to be redone. Derek and crew worked tirelessly to clean the existing brick and turned a duck into a swan! We could not be happier and we enjoy our patio once again. The new addition completed our vision and seamlessly matches what was redone; we are very impressed with the finished project. So much so we are getting ready to have AJD do another estimate for our next project. You will not regret hiring AJD landscaping for your landscaping needs!
