Frequently Asked Questions

As a Chicago homeowner, I have patchy areas in my lawn and my sprinklers don't cover everything evenly. Can you help?

Absolutely. Inconsistent irrigation is a common issue in our area due to system age, improper design, or soil composition. We start with a thorough evaluation of your existing sprinkler coverage and soil health. Our services include irrigation repair, redesign, and installation of efficient systems tailored to your property's specific zones. For dead lawn patches, we diagnose the underlying cause—which could be disease, compaction, or drainage—and provide solutions like regrading, aeration, and proper reseeding or sodding with hardy, region-appropriate grasses to create a lush, uniform lawn.

What does your design process involve for a new patio or outdoor living space?

Our design process is collaborative and thorough. It begins with an on-site consultation to discuss your needs, style, and how you intend to use the space. As a Registered Landscape Architect, Nathan then develops a custom plan that integrates hardscaping—like your patio, walkways, or retaining walls—with complementary planting and lighting. We consider factors unique to Chicago, such as frost lines for construction and plant selections for winter interest. Once you approve the design, our experienced construction team handles the precise installation, managing everything from earthmoving and base preparation to the final finishes, ensuring a seamless and durable result.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance for the gardens you install?

Yes, we provide comprehensive landscape maintenance to protect your investment and keep your garden healthy year-round. Our maintenance services are tailored to the plants and systems we install and include seasonal pruning, fertilization, disease and insect management for shrubs and trees, lawn care, and irrigation system winterization and spring start-ups. This proactive care is especially valuable in Chicago's climate, helping plants establish strong roots and withstand temperature extremes, so your landscape continues to look its best and evolve beautifully over time.
