Landscapers Lake Villa IL | Call Arc Landscape Construction

Persistent standing water often points to grading or drainage issues. We start with a site evaluation to identify the water flow. Solutions typically include regrading the lawn to create positive slope away from your home, installing French drains to channel water underground, or creating dry creek beds for surface runoff. The right fix depends on your property's specific layout and soil composition.

Shrubs in Lake Villa can fail due to poor drainage (wet roots), compacted soil, improper planting depth, or disease. We diagnose the root cause—literally. Our service includes soil testing, correcting planting issues, implementing proper watering schedules, and applying targeted treatments for pests or fungus. We also recommend native, hardy species better suited to our local conditions for long-term health.

Absolutely. Functional drainage can be beautifully integrated into your landscape. We design solutions like decorative rock swales that look like dry stream beds, or use permeable pavers in patios and walkways that manage runoff. By combining practical engineering with thoughtful plant selection and hardscaping, we solve water problems while enhancing your yard's overall look and usability.
