Anderson Landscapes: Experienced Landscapers Serving Mundelein, IL 60060

For our local freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend heavy-duty steel or rigid composite edging. These materials resist cracking and heaving much better than plastic or wood. The key is professional installation with deep anchoring to prevent frost from pushing it out of place, a common issue we fix here in Lake County.

Signs include standing water for over 24 hours after rain, soggy soil, erosion near your foundation, or water seeping into your basement. Given our local clay-heavy soil, solutions often involve regrading, installing French drains to redirect water, or creating dry creek beds. We assess your property's specific slope and soil to design a system that protects your home.

We can often repair sections of damaged edging, especially if it's a quality material like steel. However, if the edging is old, brittle plastic or has failed due to poor initial installation, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective and provides a lasting, clean look. We'll give you an honest assessment and recommend the best approach for your landscape.
