Landscaping, Hardscaping and Concrete

A plan for the whole yard before anything is planted, so beds, hardscape and lawn work together.

• The whole yard planned as one
• Plants suited to northern Illinois
• Phase the build across seasons

Full property landscaping for homes and businesses, from planting beds to seasonal upkeep.

• Planting, beds and bed renewal
• Seasonal cleanups and upkeep
• Residential and commercial properties

Paver patios, walkways and patio extensions laid on a properly compacted base so they stay level.

• Compacted base built in lifts
• Edge restraint around the perimeter
• Patios, walkways and extensions

Poured concrete patios, slabs and pads, formed and finished with professional grade material.

• Formed, reinforced and pitched
• Broom or smooth troweled finish
• Control joints cut in properly

New sidewalks, driveway sections and replacement flatwork poured to drain the right way.

• Old failed slabs broken out and hauled
• Poured to drain away from the house
• Level transitions, no trip lips

Block and stone retaining walls that hold a grade and give a sloped yard usable flat ground.

• Buried, level, compacted base course
• Drainage stone and an outlet behind
• Turns a slope into usable flat ground

Patios, seating areas, fire features and walkways designed as one connected outdoor room.

• Patio, seating and fire feature as one
• Sized for a table and chairs
• Hardscape and planting to one plan

New sod over prepared and graded soil, for an established lawn without waiting on seed.

• Soil graded and prepared first
• Laid tight with staggered seams
• A finished lawn the same day

Regrading and soil work that moves water away from the house before it becomes a wet basement.

• Slope set away from the foundation
• Low spots and ruts filled in
• Done before sod, patios or concrete

Fresh mulch, cut edges and cleaned up beds. The fastest visible upgrade on most properties.

• Beds weeded and cleaned first
• Fresh cut edge between bed and lawn
• Even depth, kept off the trunks

Keeping beds and planting areas clean through the growing season, not just once in spring.

• Recurring visits through the season
• Edges recut as they soften
• Mulch topped up where it thins

Trimming overgrown branches and hauling away what comes down, including storm debris.

• Growth cleared off roofs and gutters
• Storm damaged limbs removed
• Brush hauled away, not left in a pile
