Frequently Asked Questions
How does C Finney handle common local issues like damaged landscape edging and weed problems in Des Plaines?
We see these issues frequently in Des Plaines yards. For damaged edging, we assess whether repair or a more durable, long-term installation is best, often using materials like steel or stone that can handle our freeze-thaw cycles. For weed infestations, our state licensing for chemical applications allows us to use targeted, effective treatments. More importantly, we focus on preventative care through proper lawn nutrition and dense, healthy turf or groundcover plantings that naturally outcompete weeds, creating a more resilient landscape.
Do you handle both the design and construction of hardscape projects like patios and retaining walls?
Yes, we provide complete in-house services. Our team includes experienced landscape designers who create detailed plans for patios, walkways, and retaining walls that fit your property's style and grade. We then execute the construction ourselves, from proper earthmoving and base preparation to the final installation. This seamless process, managed by one trusted team from concept to completion, ensures the final build matches the design vision and is built to last.
What is included in your weekly lawn maintenance service?
Our weekly maintenance is designed for consistency and health. It typically includes mowing with sharp blades for a clean cut, string trimming along all edges, and blowing clippings and debris from hard surfaces. We also monitor your lawn's condition, alerting you to any potential issues like disease, insect activity, or irrigation problems. This regular care, combined with our seasonal fertilization and aeration programs, promotes a thick, green lawn that is less susceptible to weeds and stress.
