Common Questions
What's your approach to dealing with bare patches and compacted soil in Chicago lawns?
For common Chicago issues like bare patches and soil compaction, we start with core aeration to relieve compaction and improve air and water flow to the roots. We then repair bare areas with a blend of high-quality, region-appropriate grass seed or sod, amended with organic compost to enrich the soil. Our earth-friendly practices ensure the treatment supports long-term lawn health without harsh chemicals.
Do you offer services for smaller spaces like condos or townhouses?
Absolutely. We specialize in maximizing any outdoor area, from condo terraces and townhouse patios to entryways and decks. Our services for these spaces include custom container gardens, vertical living walls, and tailored designs that fit your lifestyle and the architectural context, all using plants that thrive in the Midwest.
Can you handle both the design and the ongoing maintenance of a landscape?
Yes, we provide complete, start-to-finish service. We can design your garden or landscape, handle the installation and construction, and then provide tailored maintenance to keep it looking its best year-round. This continuity allows us to ensure the vision for your space is maintained with expert care.
