Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Water Does My Yard Need Each Week in Chicago?

A good Chicago landscaping business or company will recommend 1 to 1.5 inches of water each week. Now, before you go out and start watering your lawn more, pay attention to the weather as well. If it’s raining, pay attention to how much rainfall there is because you might not even have to water your yard that week. It’s also not a cut and dry question. Pay attention to your plants and yard. Does it look vibrant and lush? If it doesn’t then maybe you should water a little bit more. In most cases, your yard will tell you what it needs if you pay attention. 

How Much Does It Cost For A Water Feature?

A good Chicago Il landscaping business should be able to install water features on a customers property for their landscaping project. This is a difficult question to answer as a water feature could be as simple as picking one up from Home Depot, filling it with water, and plugging it in or it could require a ton of landscaping design especially if it’s located in the front yard. It’s a smart idea to ask some landscaping contractors for pricing and a quote on these services. The prices would vary greatly as well. If you are indeed interested in water features or any other hardscaping, please don’t hesitate to give us a call and ask for a free quote.

What Is The importance Of Using Good Mulch?

The whole point of using mulch is to keep the moisture in the soil that the plants are grown in. When water is evaporating at a large rate from the soil then the root structure suffers. Mulch also greatly reduces the amount of time you need to water your yard and it also breaks up clay while increasing air movement in the soil. The difference between good mulch and bad mulch is the amout of nutrients in the mulch. Ideally, a good mulch would be put out in your yard periodically that would replace the depleted nutrients in the soil. 

Do You Give Free Estimates?

Yes, we absolutely give free estimates or a free estimate on almost every landscaping or hardscaping job you require. Sure, there might be sometimes when a landscaping contractor can just quote over the phone but in general, a landscaping technician would have to come out and assess the situation. Lighting systems and snow removal quotes are difficult to provide over the phone so we would definitely have to to see the area for those but things like weed control or lawn care can be estimated over the phone. Either way, the estimates are completely free!

Do I Need An Irrigation System?

This question really depends on a number of factors. Are you watering your lawn on your own? If you aren’t, then your yard definitely could use an irrigation system installed soon. The plants almost always will benefit from more water even in a rainy season. With this being said, it’s also important to pay attention to your yard and observe what you think it needs. Does it look lush and rich? If it doesn’t then maybe some extra water or an irrigation system should be installed.

Do You Guarantee The Plants Live For A Certain Period Of Time?

In order to answer this question, it would be necessary to access what the customer needs. Do you need a whole new yard full of trees or just one bush? Do you have an irrigation system or do you water the yard yourself? Are you committed to giving your trees or shrubs water? We would have to ask these questions and more to find out if the service we provide for you would be 100% guaranteed or not.
