Landscape Design & Build
Every design-build project starts with a free walkthrough — we look at drainage, sun exposure, and how the space actually gets used before drawing anything. From there you get a concept plan and a flat quote, not a per-hour guess.
- Native and pollinator-friendly plant palettes suited to Illinois winters
- Full permitting coordination for city and suburban projects
- In-house crews from groundbreak to final walkthrough
Hardscape & Outdoor Living
Patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens built with Unilock and Techo-Bloc pavers and graded specifically for Illinois freeze-thaw cycles, so surfaces don't heave or crack after their first winter.
| Project | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Paver patio (200–400 sq ft) | $5,500 – $12,000 |
| Retaining wall | $40 – $75 / sq ft face |
| Fire feature add-on | $2,200 – $6,000 |
| Outdoor kitchen (built-in) | $8,000 – $22,000 |
Ranges are ballpark only — every hardscape quote is confirmed after an on-site measure. Scroll the table sideways on smaller screens.
Lawn Care & Maintenance
Weekly or bi-weekly mowing, edging, fertilization, and aeration built around Chicago's clay-heavy soil, which compacts fast and needs more aeration than sandier soils further south.
- Same crew every visit, weather-adjusted mowing schedule
- Core aeration and overseeding each fall
- Organic fertilization options available
Seasonal Cleanup
Spring cleanup clears winter debris, cuts back perennials, and edges beds before the growing season starts. Fall cleanup handles leaf removal and cutback before the first hard freeze — timed to how fast Chicago falls turn cold.
- Full debris haul-away included
- Mulch refresh and bed edging
Snow & Ice Management
SIMA-trained crews with 24/7 weather monitoring so plowing, shoveling, and salting starts before you're up, not after you've already called. Seasonal contracts and per-storm service both available.
- Residential driveways, commercial lots, and HOA routes
- Pre-treatment anti-icing before storms hit
- Flat-rate seasonal plans to avoid per-storm surprises
Irrigation & Drainage
Sprinkler system installation, spring startup, and winterization, plus French drains and regrading for the standing-water problems Chicago's clay soil causes near foundations and low yard corners.
Tree & Shrub Care
Pruning, root pruning, stump grinding, and insect and disease treatment to keep mature trees healthy through Illinois storms and winters.
Landscape Lighting
Low-voltage path and accent lighting to extend outdoor living into the evening, plus seasonal holiday lighting installation and takedown.
