Wheaton Homeowner / Private Estate Project

A homeowner in Wheaton, Illinois was looking for a natural landscaping company to enhance their property’s appearance and create a sustainable, enjoyable outdoor space. Ongoing, high-quality maintenance was a top priority in choosing the right contractor. Native landscaping can be challenging, especially in residential areas, as some plants may become invasive, grow too large, or flop over, disrupting the desired aesthetic. They can also spread seeds to unwanted areas. Our company addresses these issues by understanding the plants, the site’s soil, and hydrology, while also aligning with the client’s vision. We led the design, installation, and ongoing restoration of the estate, including native plantings and regular stewardship. Our team manages invasive species through selective mowing, hand-pulling, and spot herbicide treatments. Native plants offer numerous benefits, including adaptability, reduced need for irrigation and fertilizers, and support for local wildlife. They also provide valuable ecosystem services like carbon sequestration and stormwater management.
