Featured Reviews for Dry Well Contractors in Illinois

Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design
Dry Well Contractors in Illinois
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 19, 2012
“Mary came out and we discussed what I was wanting in my landscaping. She created a design plan for my front and back yards and hired the needed help to make it happen. It turned out beautiful and I've gotten lots of compliments on my yard!”
Western DuPage Landscaping, Inc.
Dry Well Contractors in Illinois
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 18, 2014
“We had recently added a sunroom and needed some landscaping done in our backyard around the new room. We also decided to put in a patio adjacent to the sunroom. We have a slanted backyard, so we really needed advice on how to accomplish this. In addition, we needed a landscaper to work with us as the contractor finished our deck so everything would flow together. We had an idea of what we wanted, but were really looking for advice and recommendations. We talked to three different landscapers and decided to go with Western DuPage Landscaping. The designer, Nicole, had some great suggestions for our project and worked within the budget we gave her. She patiently explained the difference in pricing between the various pavers available and also recommended plants and shrubs that would grow in our very shaded backyard. Our project came in on budget and in the time frame given. We are very happy with the work done and would not hesitate to return to WDL for future work.”

Cityscape Landscape LLC
Dry Well Contractors in Illinois
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 21, 2013
“My family has used and consulted Cityscape for multiple projects ranging from lining our entire front and back yards with brick pavers to laying sod or obtaining a tree. Cityscape's work is high quality and professional, but what really stands out is their fast response time and customer service. We will use Cityscape again in the near future.”

“We have had Classicut do several landscaping projects on our property. They were respectful, completed all projects on time and easy to work with. They were honest on what would work and what would not. They were very reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend!”

Dig Right In Landscaping, Inc.
Dry Well Contractors in Illinois
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 19, 2015
“Spirited Gardner Julia Bunn in 2014 helped us design and build a rain garden for our condo that successfully and beautifully diverts storm water into our front yard in Chicago. Julia clearly explained which native plants would do well in our shady, sandy spot, and she provided us a clear map for our new garden. On "dig day" she did an excellent job of corralling our volunteer crew to ensure we correctly dug our rain swale and planted our plants. Julia also provided guidance over the summer on routine care and on how to put our garden to bed for the winter. I'm looking forward to seeing our rain garden evolve as it matures over the years. Overall, hiring Julia has been one of the best investments our condo has made in the past decade.”
Greenhaven Landscapes Inc.
Dry Well Contractors in Illinois
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 21, 2014
“Greenhaven re-designed my small patio in 2012 with perennials that compliment the setting and my color preferences. They presented a draft design, in detail, including photos of the recommended plants placed in the suggested locations, so I knew exactly what was going where. Their landscapers are professionals, from design to implementation and upkeep. Dave Hoxsie or another manager was present during each visit to oversee the work and answer questions. Just look at their website to see the extent of their professionalism.”

“Honestly the best experience I've ever had with a company hands down.

Wilson WARE Group
Dry Well Contractors in Illinois
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 28, 2016
“Wilson Ware completely transformed our Chicago bungalow yard and landscaping. Our back yard was re-graded, hardscaped, and landscaped. Hardscape included a patio with paths to the sidewalk, alley, and space for the grill. It also included a seating wall around the giant silver maple tree. They laid down new sod and landscaped with region specific plants. They also built a fence around the entire back yard. The same care and attention was also given to our front and side yard with complimentary plants. John Ware was our designer and led the entire project from start to finish. We had been discussing our yard for years and never able to come to a decision on what to do. John came to our house and listened to our ideas, took what we said and blew us away on the first try! His design was more than we expected and we continue to appreciate what he came up with every time we're enjoying our yard. The project was very fairly priced and finished within a reasonable time. The only criticism we have is in John's responsiveness towards the end of the project, and in our interest to continue using Wilson Ware Group for ongoing landscape and maintenance.”

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.
