Gregorio's Landscaping & Snow Plowing is a full service landscaping contractor serving many of Chicago's Northwest and West Suburbs, as well as much of Kane County and the rest of the greater Fox Valley area. We specialize in providing high quality commercial and residential landscape services.
"We are completely flabbergasted at the poor quality of work performed by Gregorio and his crew. He actually drew up a sketch of the sidewalk, 2 sets of steps, and patio to be installed, including measurements. The patio was supposed to be 18x20 , but I measured after completion and it was ACTUALLY 16x18 . Unfortunately, It only got worse from there. He poured concrete up to, and surrounding our electric service box. It will now need to be saw cut around the base to be pulled and replaced as we had planned. They installed a downspout drain under the sidewalk on the side of our house that was not properly graded and the PVC pipe froze and cracked as a result of their careless work. The real clincher is the 2 sets of steps they poured. Both sets look absolutely terrible. They have black fiber protruding from the steps and are rough and very ugly. I wanted to replace the steps for the aesthetic improvements and the end result has to be seen to be believed. The old steps actually looked better than what Gregorio did. We have had multiple concrete contractors look at the work and simply say wow this work is atrocious. I would have loved to give Gregorio a great review, but he simply did very poor work and more importantly, will not do ANYTHING to make it right. As an Honorably Discharged Veteran, I know the value of keeping your word, and doing the right thing. Shame on you Gregorio. You should stand behind your work. The good people of the world fix their mistakes, not make excuses for them. I would avoid this guy, I sure wish I had."

Whether terrazzo is better than porcelain or ceramic tiles for a kitchen or bathroom floor depends on your design preference. Terrazzo can last a long time, but so can a properly installed ceramic tile floor. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the lifespan of a ceramic tile floor is 75 to 100 years, similar to terrazzo.
You should clean terrazzo floors like you would marble, even if there’s no marble in the aggregate. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the polished surface, and steer clear of acidic cleaners like vinegar, which can damage the surface. Instead, use plain water or a neutral cleaner to mop the floor. Then, use a wet vac or squeegee to remove the dirty water. Regular buffing with a soft cloth can help you maintain the shine.
Terrazzo is made by mixing an aggregate like glass or stone with a binder like cement or epoxy. The mix is made and poured into the prepared space you designate. Alternatively, you can purchase prefabricated terrazzo tiles, which consist of similar materials. They’re poured into a mold and cured before installation.
You can add radiant heating under a terrazzo floor, which is an excellent way to combat the naturally cold surface of terrazzo floors. Installing radiant heating costs $1,653 to $6,656. You'll want to install the heating elements under the thin-set epoxy because the layer is thin enough for the warmth to conduct through the floor.
Making your own terrazzo can be a tricky DIY project. The exact mix takes a blend of art and skill to create and requires the expertise of a terrazzo pro. The wrong blend could crack, peel, or break easily, requiring expensive repairs. Finishing and polishing the floor also requires previous experience to achieve a professional appearance. Expect to pay between $200 and $2,500 for the cost of restoring and polishing floors.
Terrazzo flooring is eco-friendly because it is crafted using recycled materials such as glass, marble, and polished metal, and its epoxy binder emits no VOCs once cured. This sustainable manufacturing approach minimizes waste and supports green building practices. Homeowners gain an attractive flooring option, contributing to healthier indoor air quality and environmental conservation.
