My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Featured Reviews for Dry Well Contractors in Chicago

Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design
Dry Well Contractors in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 22, 2025
“I would highly recommend the folks at Wave Outdoors for your yard needs! We enjoyed working with Mary, Matt, Brian, Lupe and Sergio and everyone else who helped transform our overgrown backyard into a lovely spot with plenty of shade, seating and lovely plants! We had our front and side yards done as well and are pleased that it was all completed this season- the Team is very kind, professional, receptive to our needs/ wants and changes and really care that you are satisfied with the end results. We are excited to host friends and family and have received so many compliments- many of our neighbors have asked who we used so they may call them for their projects as well. Thanks everyone!”
Western DuPage Landscaping, Inc.
Dry Well Contractors in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 23, 2020
“Western Dupage Landscaping is made up of great people - and that made all the difference for us. Tyler and Matt were both so earnest in their desire to make things perfect for us. Their crews are very friendly, hard-working and they also aim to please. They don’t miss the details; like a thorough cleaning and tidy up at the end of each day’s work, which is important - so there is zero reason for complaints from neighbors or the village. They have all the equipment- large and small machines, which was a great benefit to us because the configuration of our lot required machinery that could fit into tight spaces. The design process with Matt was a delightful experience. He really listens and cares about your vision. He offers a wealth of knowledge and advised us well. Tyler is extremely efficient at managing the crews and coordinating material deliveries. He made sure every detail was attended to before the project was completed. The outcome is beyond our expectations and we LOVE it! If you are looking for very professional and knowledgeable people to do your landscape projects, I highly recommend Western Dupage Landscaping.”
Cityscape Landscape LLC
Dry Well Contractors in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 25, 2018
“Beginning in June 2018, Ryan, the designer from Cityscape, transformed the appearance of our large and very visible historic condo building in downtown Oak Park, IL He, as well as his team, was professional and patient. It is a challenge to design a plan that meets the wishes of a relatively large condo association. We are all so pleased with his choice of plants and we are thrilled with the design and so is our community. I would highly recommend Cityscape Landscape.”

Landscaper FAQs
The duration depends on the complexity of the project, ranging from a couple of days to several weeks. Preliminary assessment, design phase, obtaining permits, excavation, installation, and landscaping restoration are the main phases. A straightforward project might take a few days, whereas a more complex system involving multiple dry wells or challenging site conditions might take longer.
Materials selection is guided by local soil conditions, the volume of water to be managed, and environmental regulations. Common materials include gravel, perforated pipes, and precast concrete well structures. Design trends lean towards eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing solutions, incorporating rain gardens or landscaping features that complement the dry well system while enhancing the propertyʼs appearance.
Homeowners should clear the project area of personal belongings and provide contractors with access. Itʼs beneficial to discuss with your contractor any concerns about landscaping or features you wish to preserve. Ensure you understand the scope of work and have agreed on a project timeline. Also, verifying that the contractor has obtained the necessary permits is crucial.
Experienced contractors anticipate challenges such as unforeseen underground utilities, poor soil conditions, or water table issues. They often perform thorough site assessments and may adjust the design, involve additional expertise, or utilize specific construction techniques to overcome these challenges. Effective communication throughout the project ensures homeowners are kept informed of any adjustments.
Ideally, look for contractors who have specific experience with dry well systems, hold certifications from reputable organizations in the field of stormwater management, and possess a solid understanding of local environmental regulations. References from past projects similar to yours and a history of compliance with building codes are also key indicators of a reliable contractor.
A reputable contractor should offer guarantees for their work and be willing to address any post-installation issues. Ensure thereʼs a clear contract in place that outlines the scope of work, warranty terms, and dispute resolution procedures. Regular maintenance checks and open lines of communication can help mitigate potential issues before they become significant problems.
