"Dean from D&D was amazing to work with on our landscaping project. Our yard needed a lot of work, and from our first meeting, we could tell Dean had extensive experience and knowledge. He educated us throughout the process, built a custom a design layout specific to our needs and provided with us additional support even after the job was done. His passion and care for his clients was very apparent throughout the project. We plan to use him for future landscaping projects and plan to refer him to anyone we know."

"The Lofton team was responsive, creative, on time, on schedule and provided impressive value for the money. This was a substantial and pretty complicated project involving the total landscaping of our front and back yards (including extensive pond work) and I thought their service and installation just excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend them based on the work they did for us."

He provided a quote within the same day which was very competitive sam came when he said he would to do the work and completed it in a very timely manner. We were very pleased with the outcome."

"If I could give 10 starts, I would! We had a jungle in our back yard for years, and our front yard was filled with invasive weeds as well as a huge dip in the lawn from sewer work by the city. Charly and Melissa are two of the hardest working people I've met, and they are very skilled in their profession. They weeded, removed old stumps, streamlined the flower beds, sodded, edged the lawn, removed debris and river rock, and created a a beautiful yard that I can finally enjoy. I would highly recommend Chicago Lawn Pros to anyone looking to improve their property."

"I had some major work done on my house this year and I went back to someone I trusted: Eddie, Manny and Mike from E&B Masonry. They did a porch project for me in 2018 and it was great. I used them again. They gave me a good price, but I also knew that they would get the job done right. They included me on each decision and checked with me through out the project. I had roofing repairs on my parapet wall where the previous owner had roofed over the limestone causing water building up. During this they found damaged bricks. They took pictures and video to show me what they needed to do. Then they did work on the outside wall where someone else I hired failed to do the tuckpointing. Finally, they installed all new concrete sidewalks from front to back and side to side. This included stairs going down to the basement. They had to pitch the concrete in creative ways and added a new drain to handle additional water. It looks fantastic. I am hiring them to do some additional jobs as well."

"They took on a bigger job than I even knew it would. Preformed over and above and I hope to have them as my lawn care landscapers forever. They should have a sign to put in front "lawn cared for and maintained by J's lawn care" I've already told two friends how great they are."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to plant a tree in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

Moss attaches to the ground but doesn’t have roots, so it can take four to six weeks for establishment to begin. It takes between 12 and 18 months for full coverage, and maximum thickness takes about two years. Keep your moss moist and debris-free to ensure it establishes itself well.

Costs for lakefront landscaping are influenced by project size, choice of plants and materials, labor, and any additional features or structures desired. Projects can range from a few thousand dollars to extensive transformations costing much more.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.
