We have the same philosophy for residential and commercial jobs: we strive to integrate the land with the structures built on it, and to blend style with function.Our designs suit families eager to transform their home into a sanctuary, do-it-yourselfers looking for some direction and advice, and businesses interested in the landscape reinforcing their aesthetic.

Art's Landscaping Inc. has 35 years of experience cultivating the earth in the greater Kankakee County area. We can combine patios, fireplaces, and even outdoor kitchens with your favorite water feature. We can recommend trees to meet your needs, whether it be ornamentals, shade, or autumn color.

Founded by John Arthur Mantoan in 1977, Art's Landscaping began with a pickup truck and one employee. Today, Art's Landscaping is supported by a team of twenty-five employees experienced in landscape design, complex irrigation systems, and installation of hardscapes. We continue to work with returning costumers and much of our business comes from costumer referrals.

Told the receptionist that I had a sink hole problem in my yard. She stated that they could help with this problem. Sent them pictures. I've called them back 4 times. I keep being told a scheduler will call back. No phone calls back. Extremely unprofessional! If you do not want the business, then say so! Don't waste your time with this company.

Investing and getting positive returns is all I ever wanted and am glad I found it. Thanks Mrs Peggy Abbott for your great skills of mining and trading in my account, very diligent in her work. All I did was invest $5,000 and within 7days she made $42,600 profit for me. Contact Mrs Peggy Abbott via Email: Peggyabbott239@gmail.com WhatsApp +1(475) 295-1383

Arts Landscaping was very rude and disrespectful to my family. They only care about your money and did a very poor job on my yard. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!

Called 3 times for a sprinkler system. Even talked to someone and sent information on my lot. Never heard back from them. Obviously they didn’t need the business.

I called Arts to replace 2 valves on my sprinkler system and adjust a few sprinkler heads along my driveway. I ended up with several issues by the time the project was done.
1) The tech broke the end of my PVC that's attached to the valves and decided to replace the entire PVC line. I was charged for the parts and 8 hours’ worth of labor caused by their mistake.
2) The tech ran out of glue and had to drive to town which took about an hour. Again, I was charged for their "labor."
3) When the job was "finished" the housing boxes flooded worse than before. The tech did not replace the valves

We recently had an entire rehab of our landscaping completed - ripping out all existing landscaping, redesigning, and burying all downspouts. Our experience was awesome. Kristine was super helpful throughout the process - her design was beautiful and communication was great! The crew was just as great - I couldn't believe the transformation they were able to pull off. We will absolutely use Arts for all of our future landscaping needs.
