"The wall build went well as a previous review that I made reflects. The wall (a little less than a year later) looks and functions well. The reason for this follow-up poor review is that the lawn repair was far from adequate for the price paid. An erosion blanket with seed that was placed on the back of the lot, never had seed under it, and I had to seed it and redo that this spring. (done myself and came out great). The repair (supposedly to pre-work condition) of the lawn where machinery had been driven during construction was subpar at best leaving high and low spots. They came out to fix just this week, and damaged a downspout drain that I had fixed after they left it damaged after their first repair. There were two other downspout drains that they did in the initial job that are an eyesore that I will have to redo myself as well. So that leaves three downspout repairs and significant landscaping repairs after a job that ran 10% over the estimate. They did offer discounts on "future" services and to come repair the downspout drain, but why would I want something else to go wrong when they come back. Cut my losses and choose not to use again. Top dollar does not always mean top quality. They are respectful and polite, but that does not make a job look nice."

"We appreciated J Plus Landscaping because they called us right away, came right away to give an estimate, and then provided prompt and very good quality tree service. They were thorough and trustworthy. We even recommended them to our neighbors, who also hired them and were very satisfied. We are so glad that HomeAdvisor referred to this great tree company to us. We would most definitely use them again!"

"My son recommended Steve/NuView back in the spring when a section of my yard was flooding from a neighbor’s sump pump discharge. He installed a French drain and shrubs to help with the excess rain water. He was very professional, thorough and completed my project on time. He has also kept in touch this summer to make sure the drain is still operating correctly. One of the best decisions I’ve made since moving to Tinley Park. Totally recommend Steve and NuView."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

The duration of a lakefront landscaping project is determined by its scope, environmental conditions, and weather impacts. It often takes several weeks to a few months to complete.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.
