Eubanks Environmental

Dave replaced our boring front lawn with native prairie plants and a rain garden. He was by far the most responsive contractor I've ever worked with, not to mention knowledgeable and enthusiastic about ecological landscaping. I wanted to learn about native plants and landscape design, and he was happy to answer all my questions. On top of all this, his crew was very professional and FAST. 10/10 would hire again.

You can certainly trust David Eubanks and he knows his native plants, that’s for sure. We moved into a home on Wonder Lake and after hunting for two years, we finally found Dave. He was the only native landscaper we spoke to that would work on our double lot lakefront slope to preserve those native plants already there, get rid of invasives and plant new natives. It had been left unattended for years. Everyone else wanted to destroy via poison and start fresh! With this crazy weather, we had to wait 2 months longer than planned, but he came in with his crew of 4 amazing men and did the job in one day. The clean up was awesome too! You cannot go wrong with this incredible team!!!!!!! I am still waiting for my plant schematic, cause I have no idea what is where, but I know he’ll come through!!! Thank you Dave!

Eubanks Environmental:
I have worked with Dave Eubanks for over 10 years now on various projects. He assisted our HOA in developing a restoration plan for our native buffer area around our neighborhood retention ponds and he helped a group of stewards develop and implement a 5-year Oak woodland restoration plan. Dave is very knowledgeable about all aspects of restoration projects and knows how to phase projects in to fit budgets and resources. He can help develop and plan the project as well as install and maintain it. Dave is very reliable and very conscientious. I would highly recommend him for any type of restoration or native planting project. B. Muskat

I have worked with Dave at Eubanks Environmental for over nine years on two different projects. First, Dave led the way on the conversion of my typical lawn-dominated yard to a habitat rich with native plant species and home to an abundance of birds, butterflies, pollinators and wildlife. For the last six years, he was also the lead ecologist on the restoration and transformation of a fifteen-acre globally-imperiled northern flatwoods which had been a dense thicket of buckthorn and is now a healthy oak hickory woods where over 120 native plant species and blue-spotted salamanders thrive. Dave guided and oversaw a group of community volunteers in this six year project. His expertise , hard work and ability to work with volunteers was critical to the success of this project. Under his guidance we received two ComEd grants and a Force of Nature award. Much thanks Dave for the transformation you have made in my yard and community.

Barrington Area Conservation Trust has utilized Dave for a number of properties for restoration as well as referred him to area landowners. Dave is an extremely knowledgeable ecologist and restoration expert. He has developed management plans and implemented restoration efforts at our preserves as well as led restoration workdays. Additionally, Dave recently led a talk on native plants for your home landscape which received rave reviews and was very well attended. It is a pleasure working with Dave as he is always willing to answer questions and offer advice on projects that come up. His knowledge and ease of working on restoration projects as well as his flexibility to lead a group of volunteers of all ages to help in restoration efforts is invaluable.
