Alpine Landscape Inc | Expert Landscaping in Plainfield, IL

A key part of our design process is addressing the underlying causes of lawn fungus, which often includes poor drainage and excessive shade. We strategically plan grading, install proper drainage solutions, and recommend sun-loving, disease-resistant grass varieties suited for Plainfield's conditions. This proactive approach in the design phase helps create a healthier lawn environment that is less susceptible to fungal outbreaks.

Absolutely. Our designs can incorporate solutions like creating dedicated root zones with permeable barriers, designing hardscapes (like patios or pathways) that work around existing root systems, or selecting appropriate ground covers and planting beds for areas under trees. For new installations, we strategically place trees to minimize future conflicts with lawns and structures, preventing root damage before it starts.

Look for a design that goes beyond plant selection. A resilient Plainfield landscape should include a plan for proper soil health, efficient irrigation to avoid overwatering (a fungus culprit), and the strategic use of hardscapes in high-traffic or problematic areas. A good designer will ask about your specific trouble spots and create a cohesive plan that solves existing problems while preventing new ones.
