Do you provide on-demand service or only scheduled services?

Regulars use our on-demand services because our landscapers are familiar with their gardens already. New users must first go through an assessment process where we need to check and see what needs to be done. This is also the time we provide an estimate of our work.

When should I have landscaping done?

Most people, when they ask this question, expect us to hear this time is the summer. However, this could not be the furthest from the truth. We usually recommend it in the spring and fall months. Summer is typically too hot for new plants to withstand the heat.

What are the benefits of professional lawn and garden maintenance?

For a start, we know what needs to be done, so we can avoid any landscaping pitfalls that many amateurs tend to fall into. We also help to free up your time, and your landscape will benefit from our expert services.

Is mulch good for my landscaping?

Yes, 100% affirmative. By applying mulch, you prevent weed growth and save on expensive water bills. Your home will look more cohesive and your curb appeal will increase exponentially.

When to start mowing a lawn in Elgin, IL?

Even though most people say spring, which is normal, some grasses will need more time to turn green and grow. So the answer to this question depends on the type of grass that you have.

What month should I fertilize my lawn in Elgin, IL?

Any time before winter sets in and the soil starts to freeze. Plants that go dormant in the winter will not benefit at all from the fertilizer that is applied then.

Do you fertilize before or after mowing?

Always after and never before. And even then, you should wait 48 hours after mowing to apply fertilizer.

What time of year is best to lay sod in Elgin, IL?

Spring, fall, and even winter depending on how cold it gets are the best times to install sod.
