"JD and his team just did the second job for us - new front yard sod & some new backyard plantings. The work is beautiful, just what we wanted, and was done efficiently and with such a great, positive crew. JD is meticulous - you get a beautiful yard and simple instructions to keep it that way! He has a great feel for what the customer wants and understands what it's going to look like all year round and over the long term. His original design is still beautiful almost 10 years later. Highly recommend, thanks JD!"

"Selvin was nothing but professional, punctual and easy to work with. He was able to squeeze this job in as I hired him "late" in the season It was a gift for my son and his wife who are expecting next month and the yard got away from them. We also needed to coordinate them being home due to their dog not being receptive to strangers in her yard. So between many emails and Mother Nature cooperating last Sunday, the work was started. The work included weeding all the beds, trimming MANY bushes, digging out overgrown sucker growth, spreading mulch, mowing the lawn, just to name a few tasks. Oh I forgot to mention that Selvin initially said it would be a two day job, but got an extra crew together to do it in one day! He sent me a complete set of before and after photos in his email saying the job was completed. My kids are thrilled beyond words and I can't thank Selvin enough for a truly beautiful job of giving them their yard back. Money well spent for a quality job by an excellent business man."

FAQs for xeriscape installation projects in Carol Stream, IL

Sprinkler systems aren't ideal for xeriscaped gardens because they can't effectively water around rocks and hardscape elements. Water often runs off or evaporates before reaching the soil. Instead, a drip irrigation system is a better choice, as it delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient water use and promoting healthy growth.

Your xeriscaped garden requires minimal yet essential maintenance. Regularly inspecting and adjusting your drip irrigation system, along with occasionally adding mulch and gravel, keeps your garden operating efficiently. Routine tasks—such as pruning, aerating, fertilizing, and soil testing—promote deep-root development and sustained plant health. This ensures maintenance remains low while your garden preserves its water-saving design. 

While the initial cost of xeriscaping can be similar to or even higher than traditional landscaping, it often saves you money in the long run. Xeriscaping reduces water usage and requires less maintenance, lowering your ongoing costs. In drought-prone areas, these savings can make xeriscaping a more affordable and sustainable option over time.

Xeriscaping has potential disadvantages that include high initial labor and a departure from traditional lush landscapes. It demands extensive planning and careful installation, which increases upfront effort. Additionally, the less conventional appearance may not suit every homeowner’s taste and could impact curb appeal in areas where traditional greenery is valued, though its water-saving benefits remain advantageous.

Yes, xeriscaping can increase your home's value, especially in drought-prone areas. A water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape is attractive to buyers looking to save on water bills and reduce upkeep. While the exact increase in value varies, xeriscaping often enhances curb appeal and marketability to potential homebuyers when you’re selling your home.
