Question Answers
What's involved in your landscape design and greenscape construction process for a Plainfield home?
Our process starts with a free, on-site consultation to understand your vision and property's specific conditions. We then create a custom design plan that can include everything from plant and tree selection to grading and soil preparation. For greenscape construction, we handle the complete installation, ensuring proper planting techniques and initial care to give your new landscape the best start. As longtime residents, we know which plants thrive in our local soil and climate.
My Plainfield lawn has bare, patchy areas. Can you help, and what's typically the cause?
Absolutely. Patchy lawns are a common issue in our area, often due to soil compaction, poor drainage, or thinning from shade or heavy use. We address this by first diagnosing the root cause. Our solution may involve core aeration to relieve compaction, improving drainage with grading or sub-surface systems, and then overseeing with quality grass seed suited for our local conditions. We don't just seed and leave; we ensure the underlying issue is resolved for a healthier, lasting lawn.
Do you handle the entire project for a new patio or irrigation system?
Yes, we provide a complete, turnkey service. For patios and hardscaping, we handle everything from demolition and base preparation to the final installation of pavers or stone. For irrigation systems, our construction includes professional trenching, head and valve placement, piping, and connection to your water supply, followed by thorough testing and programming. As a full-service contractor with over 30 years of experience, we manage all phases to ensure a seamless, high-quality result for your home.
