Full Landscape Renovation and French Drain Install in Cicero

This property in Cicero needed a full reset. The beds were bare, drainage was an issue, and there was nothing tying the front of the home together visually. Here's what we were working with - a nice house that just wasn't getting the curb appeal it deserved.

We started from the ground up. A French drain went in first to handle the water management issues. Getting drainage right before planting anything is non-negotiable - if water is sitting where it shouldn't, no amount of fresh plants or mulch will fix the underlying problem. That foundation work had to come first.

Once drainage was handled, we moved into the plant design and installation phase. We selected a mix of columnar evergreens, low-growing shrubs, and accent plants that complement the stone and brick exterior without overwhelming it. The bed lines were cut clean and filled with dark mulch to pull everything together and give the plants a fresh start.

On top of the renovation work, we handle the ongoing mowing and fertilization for this property. That matters more than people realize. A freshly landscaped yard can fall apart fast without consistent maintenance behind it. Having the same crew take care of both the install and the upkeep means nothing gets missed.

This is the kind of work we do regularly for homeowners across the Cicero area. A well-planned renovation paired with reliable ongoing service is what keeps a yard looking sharp season after season.
