Bricks, Sticks & Stones Landscape Construction | Experienced Landscaping in Aurora, IL

We tackle mulch bed weeds by first removing existing weeds, then installing a professional-grade landscape fabric barrier before adding fresh mulch. This prevents weed seeds from taking root, and we recommend using deeper mulch layers (3-4 inches) which naturally suppress growth. For Aurora's climate, we also suggest incorporating native ground covers that outcompete weeds.

We assess your yard's slope and soil to design custom drainage solutions. This often includes French drains, dry creek beds, or regrading to direct water away from your home's foundation. We use local materials suited to Illinois' freeze-thaw cycles to ensure systems remain effective year-round, preventing basement flooding and soggy lawns.

Yes, we offer seasonal maintenance packages. For drainage systems, we clear debris from inlets and check for erosion after heavy rains. For mulch beds, we refresh mulch annually and spot-treat any breakthrough weeds. This proactive care saves Aurora homeowners from bigger problems down the road.
