Chicago landscaper FAQ

How much does landscaping cost in Chicago?

Basic cleanups and plantings can be a few hundred dollars, while full designs with hardscape, irrigation, and grading run well into the thousands. Costs vary with yard size and materials, so get a written plan and quote.

What's the difference between landscaping and lawn care?

In most regions, fall and early spring are ideal because milder temperatures let roots establish before summer stress. A local landscaper can tell you the right window for your specific climate.
