Landscaping that works in Will County
New Lenox yards have their own challenges. Here is what we plan around.
Heavy clay soil
Clay holds water in spring and bakes hard in summer. Good soil prep, the right plants, and proper planting depth are what keep new plantings alive.
Hot summers and cold winters
Plants need to survive both. Many native plants handle our weather with less watering once established.
Big trees and shade
Mature trees change what grows under them. We can raise the canopy to let in light, or plan a shade garden.
Wet spots
Flat lots and clay mean water likes to sit. We grade, plant for wet soil, or redirect water where we can.
Tree company plus landscaper
Most landscapers do not do big tree work, and most tree services do not do landscaping. Because we do both, we can take out a problem tree, grind the stump, fix the soil, and finish the space with sod, new plantings, or mulch. One crew, one plan, one finished yard.
A landscaping calendar for New Lenox yards
Early spring
Spring cleanup, cutting back grasses and perennials, and edging beds once the ground firms up.
Mid spring
Planting season. Shrubs, perennials, trees, and sod go in while it is cool and rainy. Fresh mulch goes down after planting.
Early summer
Trim spring blooming shrubs after they flower and shape evergreens after new growth. See shrub trimming.
Mid to late summer
Water new plantings deeply during dry spells and keep up with weeds.
Early fall
A second planting season. Great for sod, shrubs, and trees.
Late fall
Fall cleanup, leaf removal, and the start of dormant tree pruning.
