Rivas Landscaping | Expert Landscaping in Prospect Heights, IL

Incorrect snow clearing can actually worsen drainage problems. We strategically pile snow away from your home's foundation and low-lying areas to prevent excessive meltwater from pooling. This careful placement helps protect your landscape from erosion and ice dams, ensuring spring thaw water drains properly away from your property instead of causing soggy, damaged yards.

Absolutely, and we take great care to protect it. Our team marks sprinkler heads before the first snowfall to avoid damage from plows or shovels. We also advise on winterizing your system to prevent freeze damage. Come spring, we can assess any coverage gaps and adjust or repair heads that may have been impacted by winter weather, ensuring your lawn gets even, efficient watering.

Yes, our service is proactive. During snow clearing, we identify areas where water typically pools or drains poorly.
