FAQs

My yard in Chicago has standing water after rain. What's the first thing I should check?

The most common culprit in our area is often a simple drainage issue or compacted soil. Before major work, check that your downspouts are directing water at least 5-10 feet away from your foundation and that your yard's grade slopes away from the house. If the problem persists, it's likely a sign of poor soil composition or a more complex grading issue that our team can diagnose and correct with solutions like French drains or regrading.

My irrigation system timer keeps failing. Can E&J Landscape help, and is this a common Chicago issue?

Absolutely. Timer failure is very common here due to our harsh winter freeze-thaw cycles and power fluctuations. We can troubleshoot your entire system, repair or replace faulty timers and components, and winterize it properly to prevent future damage. We also recommend and install smart timers that adjust watering based on local weather data, saving you water and ensuring your lawn gets exactly what it needs.

What landscaping services do you offer to prevent water problems in my Chicago yard?

We offer a comprehensive approach. Beyond fixing immediate issues like timer repairs, our core services include landscape grading and drainage solutions (like dry creek beds and catch basins), installing efficient drip and sprinkler irrigation systems, and selecting deep-rooted, native plants that absorb excess water. Our goal is to create a beautiful, resilient landscape that manages water effectively year-round, protecting your home's foundation and eliminating soggy, unusable areas.
