Merrill replaced and re-did my brick walks a few years ago. They look amazing. They did such a great job, I had them redo all of my front and side landscaping - which likely hadnt been touched in 50 years. It was a huge project, but the results are amazing and it truly transformed the house.

Merrill Landscape Services is an exceptional company! I have been very pleased with their work every time. The estimate was spot on and they finished my landscape projects right on time. Again, it’s an exceptional business and I would highly recommend.

My wife and I have been using Merrill Services for weed control around our lake property for years now!The owner, Marcus Merrill, is extremely friendly and professional, and we have developed a great relationship over the years. Our property is always well kept and looking it’s best thanks to Marcus and his team.We are extremely happy to continue service with Merrill for years to come!

I hired this company for taking care of my yard while i was on a long vacation and specifically told them this. When I returned back I see my backyard with half of the grass dead. To me and to another company i called this is a fertilizer burn which the company did on July 13 although when I setup the service I told them that I was away and do not need summer fertilization. Anyway, I called them and they sent a technician to claim we have grubs on the backyard! I called again and the owner then came and this time they told it is drought! What type of drought is that it did not anything on any of my neighbours lawns who never water their lawns but killed mine. Anyway, I suggest not to trust this company as they do not take responsibility on their as you can see from my story above!

So thankful to Merrill Services for the attention to detail. My yard always looks great!

I called them initially to get control of the over the weeds which is what i told them. They came out and mowed That was it. The next week they came out and i told them face to face i need the weeds gone! Ok thatll be extra service ok fine...week later never got done. Caught them AGAIN working in the yard (just mowers and trimmers;weed wackers) told the AGAIN still no avail. Mind you they have 3 guys on the property.... I WILL NEVER AGAIN USE THEIR SERVICES!!

I have used Merrill through the summer and into the fall to keep my yard mowed. I just had them out, though to trim up some bushes and prep my flower beds for winter and they did a great job. I really have appreciated how the front office has worked with me and been responsive and how the quality of the work completed. I signed up for snow removal and I don’t imagine I’ll be disappointed. I like being able to pay once per month for the services. I really couldn’t be happier.

We hired Merrill for their snow removal services for a winter season - their office staff was super friendly to deal with, automatic payments were easy and the snow removal services were first rate. Very highly recommend!!

Prompt! And did a great job. Reliable and excellent communication.

Needed help finding a company to update the walkway. I found Merrill and they responded quick and did a nice job. They are now doing their irrigation and mulch as well.

I am so pleased to find a service that separates itself from the rest, both local landscape companies; as well as the national brands. I’ve tried them all, and have finally settled on Merrill as the company with the right balance of service excellence, sales, and customer service excellence.What does that mean? They do what they say and say what they do - the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. Meaning, the office and the field techs are aligned and understand what’s being done.As well as, you won’t find a new person every time you receive a service.I like the experience of having the “same” person know my yard and me.It has been a frustrating journey over the past five years trying to find the right help for my property. I’m very pleased with Merrill Services and recommend them highly to you.

Merrill is an excellent local small business. Everyone I have spoken to and worked with have been very helpful. The workers who come to do the lawn have always been very friendly, knowledgeable and patient. They take the time to thoroughly explain whats needed to solve the lawn and tree issues, and to answer all my questions. Bailey has been excellent at handling all of our landscaping needs. Thanks to everyone at Merrill, its been a great experience. I highly recommend this local small business!

We had them come out and lay new mulch in the spring. They did a fantastic job. They cleaned up the beds before they laid the mulch. When they mulched around our trees, they better defined the line around the tree, the removed weeds from the circle, then sprayed weed killer and then laid the mulch. The two guys that came out were very professional and worked quickly.

We used Merrill Landscape Services to prepare our lawn for winter. They did a fantastic job! Service was courteous, timely, and efficient. We’ve used several other services in the past, and Merrill outperformed them all!

We hired them to aerate and overseed. We had no idea when they were coming, and when they did, they apparently couldnt get to the back yard because of a parked car. My wife was in a work meeting and asked if she could have 15 minutes to move it. They agreed and then left before that. They never showed back up but sent a bill for the full amount. I called and was told they would get someone out there immediately to do the rest. They never came. We then received a late notice on the bill. When I complained, I was given a roughly 11% discount (and our backyard is bigger than the front), then they upped it to a little over 20%. So much for agreements, I guess. And incidentally, the backyard is what I wanted done, so I threw a hundred bucks away on nothing.This is also after we hired them last year to mulch and preen our front flower beds, and they instead preened my entire yard (when I was trying to grow grass).

Merrill landscape services has always been extremely professional to work with. Their services are always performed timely and by professionals who know what they are doing. They have always been extremely responsive and quick when I’ve needed something in a rush.

Merrill is my go to for snow removal! These guys are fantastic and on top of it and my business parking lot is never dangerous to my customers because of these guys. I highly recommend if you can get on their list, do it.

This was my first year maintaining a lawn and Merrill Landscape Services made it quick and easy! They transformed my backyard from an eyesore to one I enjoy spending time in. The staff was friendly, efficient, and paid great attention to detail. I would definitely recommend them for your future landscaping needs!

I love Merrill Landscape Services! They do a great job with my lawn mowing and leaf cleanup. Super responsive and professional!

Thanks to Merrill Landscaping I now have a beautiful yard that I am so proud of. The crews are friendly, professional & finished in a timely manner. Its exactly how I wanted it & I couldnt be more pleased. I would definitely recommend using Merrill Landscape Services for any landscaping needs.

I have used Merrill for going on 3 years now. In the past I have used a number of other services but they just dropped the ball so many times I moved on to the next one. Then 3 years ago I called Merrill. If you noticed I stated in my first sentence going on 3 years now. The service techs are really super and if I need a little extra something they did it without question. When I asked for a senior citizen discount AGAIN they came thru. I really cant think of a situation where they couldnt handle it. My lawn has NEVER looked better from the 2nd season on. It took a full season for them to recoup some damage I had previously. I can honestly recommend them wholeheartedly and without hesitation. No matter what type of lawn service you need they got you covered. You wont regret using Merrill

The times we used Merrill, they were always professional and cordial. We appreciated the service they provided for us during a time when we were unable to take care of our lawn.

Company aerated and over-seeded lawn. Unfortunately, the job was done while I was out of town. I did not get to water for a week after it was seeded. I did not get the results that I had hoped. Not Merrills fault, just unfortunate timing.

Merrill Landscape designed a portion of our front yard and installed the plan. They were great to work with, always responded to my questions quickly and were very professional. I plan to use them again in the future.

Been using Merrill for years now and they do a great job. The team is always very friendly and outgoing which we really like.

We hired Merrill for lawn mowing services while our riding mower was being repaired. They did a great job and I would still be using them if we didnt have our riding mower back and working.

From the very beginning everyone and everything was very easy with Merrill Landscape. The quality of the work was AMAZING. The workers were very polite when working in my yard. Will definitely be using them again in the future for my landscaping needs!

I moved to Champaign 5 months ago. After much research, I chose Merrill Landscape Services and I am so glad I did! Theyve done so much for me in such a short period of time, and the entire team meets my expectations every time. Whether its mulching, adding plants/steps, or now--leaf removal--Merrills team always does a terrific job. And heres a special shout out to Kalleigh in the office: she is responsive, professional, personable, and very good at keeping me updated on the schedule and such. I highly recommend Merril Landscape Services!

They did a great job mowing and trimming all along our long fence line. They are patient as well. They had to wait once when irrigation showed up at the same time and all sprinklers were set off.

I used them for landscaping.we like their design and found everyone to be obliging, courteous, friendly, helpful, honest and efficient. We are very happy with them and plan to use some of their other services as well.

This company did the landscaping outside my apartment not to long ago huge improvement. There now is these cool little seating areas outside the building to grill and hangout. Very modern looking!

Did a great job ......eventually. Had to have them back numerous times to correct misplantings, tree care and downspout installation sites.

Merrill Landscaping did an amazing job on my yard. The crew really brought it to life. I would highly recommend this company to do all your landscape needs. Thanks guys for your hard work!

Excellent service, easy to get a hold of with any questions or concerns, and prices are very reasonable!

We were selling our house from out of state and needed to tidy up the lawn; Merrill Landscaping was very responsive, responsible and professional.

I hired Merrill to redesign and replace the previous landscaping in front of my home, and they failed to meet my expectations for the job. I told the designer (John) who came out that I wanted a fabric weed barrier installed to prevent the extremely overgrown previous plants from coming back, and he agreed. However, later on he removed that from the job without telling me. Even worse, they did not even remove the previous plants, only trimmed them down and covered them with mulch, so within a week they were already coming back up! After numerous calls and emails to Merrill, a different person (Eric) finally came out, and he agreed with me that the job wasnt done properly and looked terrible, but all he did to correct the problem was spray some roundup on the weeds. I have since spent many hours trying to dig up the old plants, to actually finish the job I paid Merrill to do.I also wanted to have someone come out and give me some advice and estimates for replanting my lawn, but when I called Merrill they told me We dont send people out for that and sent a generic quote for their aeration service instead. Overall, in addition to doing a shoddy job, theyve been very impersonal and dismissive to work with.Also, there are some five-star reviews here that are from employees of the company.

Quality service with good price. We needed a reliable service to mow our lawn and Merrill does an A+ job at an affordable price.

They do a good job, I like that I can select the services I want and they don’t deluge me with calls and emails pressuring me to do more.

Weve used Merrill for years for lawn mowing and trimming, sprinkler system winterizing and summer-prep, and leaf removal. Theyre always prompt, courteous, and affordable.

The team is extremely knowledgeable and professional. My yard looks so much better this summer than last. I would highly recommend.

Merrill did snow removal at my home. They were always there early so that I could get to work on time. The edges of the driveway were marked so they would not go over the grass and ornamental stones.

Workers are very rude and disrespectful of peoples property.

The crews are very professional and my gardens look better than ever thanks to Merrill Landscape Services!

Last summer we decided to try out Merrill Services. We had a troublesome yard with dead patches for a while and decided to do something about it. We had seen the Merrill trucks a few times and decided to give them a try. We signed up for their full fertilization program, and a year later our lawn is still looking great! We also signed up for mowing, and I’ve got to say...those crews can stripe!

Merrill Landscape Services does a great job. They are dependable, reliable and customer focused.

This company has great customer service. They provided an estimate immediately for lawn care services.

Great family owned company. From mowing to landscaping they are always ready to make your house into a beautiful home.

Merrill did a great job on all of our landscaping and driveway. They were extremely professional and helpful along the way!

Merrill landscape services is a team of quality professionals. My lawn has never looked so great. Highly recommend.

Quick estimate and removal of tree stump stuck in the front of my house. My yard is finally free of that hideous beast.

They did such a wonderful job!! They were polite and really went above and beyond....thank you so very much!!

Fantastic company they just build my waterfall Thank you John and Jaison and team for great work, creativity and quality It’s very much appreciated

They do a good job once they eventually come out but setting up services with them is time-consuming. Weve used them for almost 3 years and had to quit recently because we were tired of the miscommunication and the several attempts needed to book a service. It should not take numerous follow-up phone calls to book something as simple as, say weed-wacking, but weve always needed to follow-up with them over a period of a couple of weeks to get a confirmation that we were going to get service. They need a more efficient and consistent booking system.

I appreciated the reliability and professionalism of Merrill Landscaping services.

First I would like say I posted on facebook not realizing that it didnt go public. But I wanted tell everyone this company does great work. My friends Meagan and Nick had their property done it exceeded their expectations and it looks amazing I will be having my yard done by Merrill Landscaping Company. Thanks again to the gentlemen who did such an amazing job keep up the good work guys.

John Reed and his crew, Tom and Nick from Merrill Landscaping, did a great job replacing rock beds. We appreciate their hard work as this project was not an easy one. The rock beds look great and we plan to use them again.

Merrill Landscape Services was very professional in all of their contact over the course of the work being done at our house. From a quick response to our initial request on information to a quick completion of the job we could tell that every client was a priority. The staff was quick to answer and questions or concerns that we had at the time. Our landscaping has never looked better. Friends, family and neighbors have all commented on how great it looks and asked for the name. Each time we proudly say Merrill Landscape Services. The staff is still checking in with us on the progress of our landscape. We cant wait to use Merrill Landscape Services for any future projects we decide to do.

My girlfriend just recently started using them for mowing, spraying the weeds, and mosquito control. I was skeptical about it solving the mosquito problem but damn I can now I can enjoy the backyard without any bugs I dont know why I never use this in the past!

Unlike lawn care companies Ive dealt with in the past, Merrill picks up the phone when I call. The office staff is always very nice and the crews do great work. My lawn had bare spots, lumpy patches, and my landscape beds looked terrible. After one season with Merrill, my yard is one of the best looking on the street. Highly recommend!

We have used Merrill for the last 2 years and have been so happy with the work they have done for our landscaping. Professional, great recommendations and we will use them again !!

Everyone at Merrill Landscape Services is always very kind and friendly, especially when I call the office! The crew always has my lawn looking FANTASTIC! I would recommend them to anyone. They are an awesome team!

Amazing company very skilled and knowledgeable staff...

These guys did a great job on a retaining wall in our front yard. Cleaned it all up and it was exactly as they told us it would be. May call them back for more!

John Reed and the Merrill team did a fantastic job on my patio, retaining walls, and new landscape beds. The work is done in a time manner and they have even maintained it after install with the monthly maintenance program and annual mulching services . If you are looking for landscaping, I highly recommend getting a hold of Merrill.

Late, didnt do what we told them twice, billed before the work was done, doubled the estimate we received when we got the bill.

They are knowledgeable with the services.

The Merrill team including the office staff are always reachable, friendly and provide great service. I would recommend them to anyone.

I have always been very pleased with Merrill landscaping which I have used for business purposes and my personal home for the past few years . The staff is always professional and strive to go the extra mile.

We have used them for snow removal for a few years. They are extremely responsive and very detailed, would definitely recommend them.

One of the most professional business I’ve ever encountered! Very friendly and prompt!!

Every single time they deliver services or I speak to their office, Merrill is both professional and super kind. Yayyyyyy!

Charged triple the quoting price for a one time service
