Expert Decorative Stone Installation in Mokena, IL

Hooks Landscaping provides decorative stone installation for residential properties across Mokena. We work with homeowners who want cleaner planting beds, defined borders, and ground cover that holds up through Illinois winters. Mokena sits in USDA Zone 5b, where freeze-thaw cycles shift and heave poorly prepared ground. We account for that from the start. Every installation begins with full vegetation removal, a compacted base layer, and landscape fabric to block weeds and prevent stone migration. Steel edging locks the perimeter so stone stays where it belongs, even on sloped yards. Whether you want stone around garden beds, along a walkway, or covering a low-traffic area, we size the project to your yard and your goals. The result is a surface that stays tidy, drains well, and cuts down on weekly yard work. Contact Hooks Landscaping to schedule a site visit for your Mokena property.

After going through a couple of different quotes, choosing Chris and his crew at Hooks Landscaping was easily the best decision we made. From the very beginning, Chris stood out—he was not only professional, but truly over the top when it came to creativity and attention to detail. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and came up with ideas we never would have considered on our own. His vision really brought the whole project to life. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire process. Chris kept us informed every step of the way, was always quick to respond to questions, and made sure we felt confident and comfortable with every decision. That level of customer service is hard to find these days. His crew was just as impressive. A special shoutout to Chelo, who went above and beyond with his work ethic. The entire team was incredibly hardworking, respectful, and detail-oriented. They showed up on time, stayed focused, and treated our property with care. At the end of each day, they made sure everything was clean and organized, which we really appreciated. The final result completely exceeded our expectations. The finished design looks absolutely stunning—truly magazine-worthy. You can tell they take pride in their work, and it shows in every detail. If you’re considering landscaping work, don’t waste your time looking elsewhere—you won’t find better. Call Chris and his crew at Hooks Landscaping. They are simply amazing! Thanks, Guys!

Cannot say enough about the Great quality of landscaping done. Crew came at 7 in the morning tore out 50 yr old bushes, cut down a tall tree, ground the stump, removed all old rock,etc. Worked all day put all new mulch,plants, and brick edging also finished the whole job in one day. Worked till 6pm and even pressure washed our driveway to clean it up. Amazing hardworking crew. Very Happy with the results. All our neighbors complement us on the work done. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Used Hooks for a project including grading, drainage and paver installation. Work was done very professionally on schedule and exactly as agreed upon. Their design and execution turned out beautifully and will definitely be using them in the future. Another point that must be called out is the communication, was kept informed of the timeline throughout, and they always responded to questions very quickly - highly recommended!
