Trusted Landscaping Services in Summit, IL 60501 - GM Landscaping Solution

We address the root cause. Often, edging fails due to soil pressure, frost heave, or poor drainage. Our service starts with correcting the underlying issue through regrading or installing a proper base. We then rebuild the edging using durable materials and techniques, like integrating it with a retaining wall or a French drain system, to create a long-lasting solution that handles Summit's freeze-thaw cycles and soil conditions.

To combat our local soil issues, we focus on a solid, well-compacted base—this is crucial. For patios and walkways, we often recommend interlocking pavers or properly reinforced concrete. These materials allow for some flexibility and are installed over a deep gravel base with proper drainage to prevent shifting, cracking, and the edge damage often caused by heaving soil. We also offer sealing to protect the surface.
