FAQs
Can you help with a leaky or inefficient sprinkler system in my Downers Grove yard?
Absolutely. Our irrigation design services specifically address common local issues like sprinkler leaks and uneven watering that can lead to dying plants. We assess your current system, identify the source of inefficiency or damage—often from our area's soil conditions or winter freeze-thaw cycles—and provide a practical solution. This can range from repairing specific zones to redesigning the layout for better coverage and water conservation, ensuring your landscape stays healthy.
What's included in your landscape design and construction process?
Our process starts with understanding your vision and the specific needs of your property. From initial design services, we plan everything from hardscapes like patios, walkways, and retaining walls to the softscape with plantings and greenscape design. For construction, our team handles the installation of these elements, including drainage systems, outdoor kitchens, and pergolas, applying a problem-solving approach to ensure the final build is both beautiful and functional for your family.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance after a new installation is complete?
Yes, we do. Having started as a maintenance business, we believe proper care is essential. We offer tailored property maintenance packages that can include everything from spring cleanups and mulching to basic lawn mowing and snow removal. This allows us to protect your investment in a new patio, driveway, or planting beds, keeping your entire landscape in great shape year-round.
Meet the Team
1st Cut Landscape began in Downers Grove in 2006, founded by a local professional who discovered a passion for working outdoors while managing landscape maintenance for another company. Starting as a sole proprietor, the business grew from a personal commitment to quality and a desire to solve clients' outdoor challenges. This hands-on experience led to formal training and the incorporation of the company, allowing us to expand from basic maintenance into comprehensive residential landscape design and construction. Today, our team applies a creative, problem-solving approach to every project, whether it's a full outdoor room or a single element like a patio or retaining wall. We continue to value the maintenance roots of our business, offering tailored property care, because we genuinely enjoy helping our neighbors improve and care for their outdoor spaces.
