Nature's Perspective Landscaping - Evanston, Illinois

Nature’s perspective did an amazing job transforming our entire yard this past fall. Their crew installed a beautiful blue stone paver patio along with many lovely plants and trees. I’m looking forward to enjoying our backyard and watching everything grow. The entire process from start to finish was seamless. Our landscape designer Britta came out for the initial visit and then presented us with her design ideas and together we reviewed the budget. After a few revisions, we went forward with one of her designs. The crews were extremely kind, fast and efficient and it’s apparent they are all experts in their field. I especially appreciated how patient Britta was with my changes. Her calm and reassuring demeanor helped alleviate my anxiety over the entire process. I also love her quick response time. I am so grateful for how everything turned out and I would not hesitate to use NPL in the future.

We have worked with Nature's Perspective on three major yard projects during the last several years. Mark has been a wonderful guide during all of these projects!

Last year he helped us create a beautiful backyard living area. Our yard is not big, but he creatively designed the space to have a large deck, brick patio, a beautiful garden and grass for our dog to enjoy. We are spending all summer outside enjoying the space.

This year we decided to transform all of our front yard's grass into a pollinator oasis which includes flowering plants, grasses, new bushes and a stone path with lighting. We love it! And, we are getting many compliments from neighbors that love the look as well.

I highly recommend Nature's Perspective - all the way from the design process through the instillation. Working with them is a pleasure!

I used Nature’s Perspective Landscaping to create a lighted path from the front of my house to my office on the side. They were professional, knowledgeable and perfectionistic. I am thrilled with the results.

We've used Nature's Perspective for 3 rounds of landscaping, and this year for regular maintenance. The landscaping work has been pretty good, although on the expensive side. The maintenance work has been a nightmare since day one. Despite a hefty weekly price tag, their crews zip across our 0.6 acre property and are sometimes in and out in 40 minutes flat, leaving grass, sticks, leaves, and other debris on site. We've had multiple plants die, and our grass is brown despite repeated calls to address. We've had to prompt their crews to do all the things they promised in the contract -- weeding, pruning, cleanup. The few times we have managed to get the maintenance manager Ben onsite to see the mess, he always apologizes and says he's going to make things better, but then the next week we get the same messy, rushed service.

We have used Nature's Perspective twice over the last 5 years: first for a major accessible ramp plus patio, sidewalk, and new garden bed installation and this week, for a smaller job to remove aged yew shrubs and install a new garden bed. We worked with Mark both times to do the design. We really appreciate the friendly and collaborative way that NP does its work--we find it very easy to design together and the jobs have been first rate. Great service and great outcomes!

We have worked with Natures Perspective several times over the years. We’ve been happy with them over several projects including, landscaping, paving and lighting. They stand by their work and plantings. A shout out to Tim B. for our most recent project. He is always responsive to any issues we have and a pleasure to work with. Really appreciated Victor and the way he works with his crew too. Garden looking good!

Tim and the crew were great. I can't believe how quickly they were able to transform our backyard to the new design. The crew was always punctual and cleaned up daily after their work was complete. Would highly recommend them anyone looking to have their yard worked on. They should change their name from Nature's Perspective to Nature's Perfection.

I can’t say enough about Nature’s Perspective, the crew and our rep Mark Watson. We’ve used a few of the other big landscape services on the north side of Chicago but have always been let down by the quality and service they provide. We’re not a huge account, a 16 home townhouse HOA, but they treat us no differently. For us some of the key call outs are:
• They are not out to sell you more than you need. A good case is point is our bushes in front were looking ragged so I asked for a quote to replace them. Marked recommended that they just do a detailed hard pruning, which we did at a fraction of the cost. Two or three years later they look fantastic.
• They can get grass to grow where others couldn’t. We have large maple trees and lots of shade. There was one section that always looked bad. The last landscaper even resodded it but the sod was gone in probably 2 years. Nature Perspective continually reseeds areas that need it. That section of grass has never looked better in the 10 years we’ve been here.
• With Fall season lasting longer than normal, our previous company would disband their crews long before all the leaves have fallen. Nature Perspective keeps their crews on into late Fall doing the last clean ups after nearly all leaves have fallen.
• They are environmentally conscious where possible and making efforts to be so even more so. A good examples is during the 4 or 5 years we’ve used them they always shredded up the Fall leaves and spread them around as mulch, versus hauling them off to landfills.
If you’re looking for a new landscape service, there’s no one I could recommend more highly than Mark and his crew at Nature’s Perspective.
