Green Summer Landscaping - Mount Prospect's Trusted Landscapers

In our area, shrub decline is often linked to poor soil conditions, improper watering, or disease. Common culprits include compacted clay soil, which restricts root growth and drainage, or fungal issues exacerbated by our climate. Green Summer Landscaping starts with a thorough site analysis to diagnose the exact cause, then provides solutions like soil amendment, proper pruning, and selecting disease-resistant, native plants better suited to our local environment.

Patchy grass here is frequently due to soil compaction, thatch buildup, or incorrect mowing/watering practices. A simple solution is core aeration combined with overseeding. Aeration relieves soil compaction, allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the grassroots. We then overseed with high-quality grass blends that perform well in our Illinois climate. This combination promotes a thicker, healthier, and more resilient lawn that can better withstand local conditions.

Absolutely. Selecting the right plants is key to a low-maintenance, thriving landscape. We assess your yard's specific sun exposure, soil type, and drainage to recommend plants that are naturally adapted to our region. We often suggest native perennials, shrubs, and ornamental grasses that are not only beautiful but also require less water and are more resistant to local pests and diseases, ensuring long-term success and less frustration for you.
