professional Gardening & Landscaping Chicago, IL

Chicago’s weather is tough on landscapes. From brutal winters with freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall to scorching summers and unpredictable rainstorms, maintaining a healthy, green lawn is no easy task. Severe winter freeze leads to compaction of the soil, frost heaving and damage to plants, and de-icing salts on roads kills grass and trees. Summer’s heat island effect, caused by the city’s high concrete density, stresses plants and dries out soil faster than normal. Add in Chicago’s strict zoning and landscaping regulations, including parkway removal permits and stormwater runoff compliance, and it’s clear—DIY landscaping isn’t enough. That’s where Hernandez Lawn Care comes in.
