Question Answers
My shrubs in Chicago are completely overgrown. Can you save them, or do they need to be removed?
We always assess the health of the plant first. Often, severe overgrowth can be corrected with expert, rejuvenation pruning to restore shape and health. If a shrub is diseased, damaged, or simply the wrong plant for the space, we'll recommend removal and can help you choose a better-suited, low-maintenance option for your Chicago yard.
What's the most common cause of standing water in Chicago yards, and how do you fix it?
The most common cause is improper grading, where the soil slopes toward your home instead of away. Over time, soil settles. We fix this by expertly regrading the area to create the proper slope for water runoff. For persistent issues, we install discreet solutions like French drains or catch basins to channel water away from your foundation and lawn.
Can you handle both the shrubs and the drainage, or do I need to hire separate companies?
We handle it all. At Ken & Ray's, we're a full-service team. We can prune or remove your overgrown shrubs and immediately address any underlying drainage problems we uncover. This integrated approach saves you time and money, ensuring your entire landscaping project is done right the first time, from plant health to water management.
