Trusted Landscaping Services in Chicago, IL 60626 - Mike's Landscape

In Chicago, shrubs often die due to improper planting depth, poor soil conditions, inadequate drainage, or winter damage. Mike's Landscape addresses this by first diagnosing the specific cause—whether it's soil pH, compaction, or water issues. We then provide solutions like soil amendment, proper planting techniques, and selecting hardy native shrubs suited to Chicago's climate, ensuring long-term health and resilience.

Poor lawn grading in Chicago can lead to water pooling, foundation damage, and erosion, especially during heavy rains or snowmelt. Mike's Landscape corrects this by assessing your property's slope and drainage patterns. We regrade the lawn to direct water away from your home, using techniques like soil leveling and installing French drains if needed, protecting your property from water-related issues common in our area.

For grading, we ensure sustainable drainage that handles Chicago's rain and snow.
