Landscaping Northbrook IL | Call D. Jakubek & Associates

We address these persistent Northbrook issues with a proactive, natural approach. For mulch beds, we focus on proper bed preparation and edging during installation or renovation to suppress weeds long-term. When maintaining existing landscapes, our skilled technicians use hand shears for precise weeding and pruning, avoiding methods that disturb soil and encourage more weeds. For storm debris, our comprehensive landscape maintenance includes efficient cleanup to protect your lawn and plants, and we can assess drainage systems post-storm to prevent future water issues, which are common on the North Shore.

Absolutely. This integrated approach is a core strength developed over our 40 years in business. A common scenario in Northbrook involves repairing a sewer line or addressing drainage, which requires excavation. We can seamlessly coordinate that earthmoving and plumbing work with the subsequent restoration or new construction of hardscapes like patios, walkways, or retaining walls. Having both skill sets in-house means the project is cohesive, efficiently managed, and the final landscaping beautifully complements the essential utility work beneath it.

The Jens Jensen prairie style emphasizes using native, indigenous plants in naturalistic groupings. For your Northbrook property, this means creating a landscape that is not only beautiful but also resilient and low-maintenance. These plants are adapted to our local climate and soil, requiring less water and care once established. The design style aims to be timeless and relaxing, blending your home with the local environment. Whether we're designing a new greenscape, planting shrubs and trees, or renovating an existing garden, this philosophy ensures your outdoor space is sustainable, supports local ecology, and feels like a natural retreat.
