FAQs
As Homer Glen homeowners, we struggle with weeds taking over our mulch beds. Can Bret-Mar help with this common local issue?
Absolutely. Weed infestation in mulch beds is a frequent challenge in our area due to soil composition and climate. Our fine garden maintenance service addresses this directly. We don't just remove existing weeds; we assess the underlying causes and can redesign or renovate the bed with proper soil preparation, quality mulch materials, and strategic planting to suppress future growth. For new installations, our landscape design incorporates proven weed-management strategies from the start.
We're interested in a custom patio and outdoor kitchen. Does Bret-Mar handle the entire design and construction process?
Yes, we provide a complete service. As licensed landscape architects, we specialize in the integrated design and installation of custom outdoor living spaces. This means we handle everything from the initial concept and 3D modeling for your patio and kitchen layout to the construction, including masonry work for hardscapes, electrical for lighting and appliances, and any accompanying landscaping. This single-source responsibility ensures cohesive design and precise execution.
What kind of experience do you have with retaining walls and drainage solutions?
With over 40 years in the industry, we have extensive experience with retaining walls for both aesthetic and functional purposes, including managing drainage and erosion. As landscape architects, we design walls that are structurally sound, complement your property's style, and solve practical issues. Our installation team is skilled in working with various materials, from natural stone to segmented block, ensuring a durable and attractive result that protects and enhances your landscape.
