PTL Landscaping & Maintenance, Inc

- 211 E Lake St # 1, Addison, IL 60101

For homeowners and business owners across DuPage County and the greater Chicagoland area of Illinois, finding a reliable partner for exterior projects that range from simple lawn care to complex hardscape construction can be a challenge. PTL Landscaping & Maintenance, Inc., based in Addison, IL, serves as that trusted, full-service expert. They are not simply a 'mow-and-go' lawn service; they operate as a complete outdoor general contractor, specializing in the design, installation, and long-term maintenance of exceptional residential and commercial environments.

Since starting in the early 2000s, PTL Landscaping has built a reputation for delivering landscaping excellence with a strong focus on quality and integrity over chasing the bottom line. This ethos is evident in their customer interactions, where they prioritize identifying the root causes of outdoor issues—such as drainage or poor soil conditions—before starting any work. The team, often guided directly by owner Paul Leakakos, is committed to transforming ordinary spaces into stunning, functional, and durable outdoor havens.

Their general contractor capabilities extend to all the heavy-duty construction elements of an outdoor space. This includes complex **concrete masonry**, precision **land leveling and grading** to fix dangerous slopes, and the installation of custom features like **stone patios**, **retaining walls**, and elegant **outdoor kitchens**. They possess the technical expertise to handle all phases of a project, ensuring a cohesive and professional outcome that integrates seamlessly with the client's home or commercial property.

In fact, PTL is frequently called upon to fix the failed work of less scrupulous or less experienced companies. In one notable instance, they rehabilitated a yard left as a "literal mud pit" after a previous landscaper’s failed sod job. Instead of rushing to re-lay sod, Paul immediately identified that excessive tree shade was the issue, advising the client to address the canopy before wasting money on another sod install. This level of honest, problem-solving consulting is a core reason why clients regret only that PTL "was our second landscaper and not our first."

The PTL team’s efficiency and professionalism are frequently highlighted in customer testimonials. They are described as being "quick, efficient and cleans up after themselves," minimizing disruption while delivering outstanding, guaranteed work. This dedication to customer confidence and long-term satisfaction is what truly sets PTL Landscaping & Maintenance, Inc. apart as a premier landscape contractor in the Illinois area.
