L&J Landscaping - Elgin's Experienced Landscapers

First, we assess the extent of the infestation and the soil health. For grub damage, we recommend a targeted treatment plan to eliminate the pests. Then, the real solution is in the repair: we'll remove the dead turf, till and amend the soil with nutrients, and install new, high-quality sod or seed appropriate for our Elgin climate. This approach doesn't just patch the problem—it rebuilds a stronger, healthier lawn foundation to resist future issues.

Absolutely. Surface tree roots are a common issue in our older Elgin neighborhoods. Instead of harming the tree by cutting the roots, we offer landscaping solutions that work with them. This can include carefully grading the soil and re-sodding over a root zone with a special soil mix, or creating a more permanent and attractive fix like installing a decorative concrete or paver patio, walkway, or mulch bed around the tree's base. This eliminates the tripping hazard and gives you a usable, beautiful space.

As a full-service landscaping and masonry company, we see the whole picture. Often, the most durable and low-maintenance solution for areas plagued by surface roots or poor drainage is a hardscape feature. Our masonry team can design and install a concrete patio, retaining wall, or paver pathway that permanently covers the problem area, improves drainage, and adds functional living space to your yard. It's a long-term investment that solves the root issue (literally) while enhancing your home's value and curb appeal.
