About Unikstone Hardscape

Unikstone Hardscape is a Chicago-based provider bringing together tree services, landscaping, and masonry under one roof. That combination is rare, and it means customers don't have to coordinate multiple contractors when a project involves both tree removal and a new patio or retaining wall. With a perfect 5.0 rating across 9 reviews, they've built a strong early reputation. Chicago's urban lots and tight yard spaces make a multi-trade contractor especially practical for homeowners on the North Side, South Side, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Services & Process

Unikstone handles the full outdoor property picture, from tree trimming and removal to hardscape installations like pavers, concrete work, and stone retaining walls. Tree services likely include pruning overgrown branches, removing dead or storm-damaged trees, and grinding stumps down to grade. On the masonry side, they can rebuild or install structural landscape features that complement cleared or reshaped yard spaces. Having landscaping in the mix means they can also regrade soil, plant new beds, or restore a yard after a large removal job.

Service Area

Unikstone Hardscape serves Chicago and the surrounding Cook County communities. Their location in the city makes them a practical choice for neighborhoods across the North Side, West Side, and South Side, as well as close-in suburbs that fall within a reasonable drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you handle tree removal and patio installation in the same project?
Yes, that's actually one of the main advantages of working with a multi-trade contractor like Unikstone. The tree crew handles removal and stump grinding first, then the hardscape team moves in to install pavers or concrete on the cleared ground.
Do you need a permit to remove a tree in Chicago?
Chicago requires a permit to remove trees on public parkways, and some neighborhoods have additional rules through local ordinances. For trees on private property, your contractor can help you determine whether a permit is needed before work begins.
How long does a combined tree removal and hardscape project typically take?
A straightforward removal followed by a patio installation usually takes two to four days depending on the size of the trees and the scope of the hardscape work. Larger projects with multiple trees or complex masonry can run a week or more.
What happens to the wood and debris after a tree is removed?
Most crews chip the branches on-site and haul everything away as part of the job. If you want firewood cut from the trunk, you can usually request that ahead of time so the logs are left behind.
Is stump grinding included in a tree removal quote?
Not always. Some quotes cover removal only, and stump grinding is priced separately because it requires different equipment. It's worth asking upfront so you're not surprised by an additional charge after the tree is down.
Can masonry work like retaining walls help with yard drainage issues?
It can, yes. A properly built retaining wall or regraded landscape can redirect water away from your foundation or prevent low spots from pooling after heavy rain. A contractor who handles both tree work and masonry can assess drainage as part of the overall project plan.
