Read article →Every yard in Chicago is a little different, soil, sun and how you use the space all matter. Before booking master planning, walk the property and note problem spots, drainage and what you want the space to feel like.
Timing makes a big difference. In our area the best results usually come in spring and early fall, when temperatures are mild and plants recover quickly.
