Common Questions
What's the best way to fix dead lawn areas and damaged landscape edging in my Chicago yard?
In Chicago, these issues are often caused by harsh winters, soil compaction, and freeze-thaw cycles. We start by assessing the underlying soil and drainage. For dead grass, we can repair or replace the area with durable sod or, for a low-maintenance solution, install synthetic turf that stays green year-round. For damaged edging, we use robust materials like steel, concrete, or composite pavers in our landscape construction to create clean, long-lasting borders that can withstand our climate.
Do you handle both the design and construction of outdoor projects?
Yes, we offer a seamless process from initial concept to final installation. Our landscape design service focuses on your vision, lifestyle, and property's specifics. Once the plan is finalized, our same team handles all the construction or installation, whether it's a patio, walkway, retaining wall, or deck. This integrated approach ensures the design is built correctly and efficiently, with consistent communication throughout the project.
What types of hardscape materials do you recommend for Chicago's weather?
We prioritize materials known for their durability in freeze-thaw conditions. For driveways, patios, and walkways, we often use concrete pavers or natural stone set with a proper gravel base and polymeric sand for stability. For retaining walls and deck construction, we select pressure-treated lumber, composite materials, or segmental concrete blocks designed to handle moisture and temperature shifts common in our region.
