Our drought tolerant landscaping service replaces high maintenance turf with resilient native and prairie plantings suited to Arlington Heights' dry summer stretches. We design both front and backyard spaces with equal care, balancing curb appeal with livability through layered native plant beds, gravel accents, and boulders that give a design lasting structure. Parts of Arlington Heights sit within the Combined Sewer Tributary Area, where stormwater and sanitary flows share the same pipe, making thoughtful landscape drainage design especially valuable for homeowners in those neighborhoods.

Satisfied Clients
Xeric Garden & Native Plant Installations
Our xeric garden and native plant installations draw from Illinois' tallgrass prairie heritage, incorporating drought resistant shrubs, native grasses, and flowering perennials suited to Arlington Heights' specific soil and drainage conditions. Deep rooted native plants absorb significantly more stormwater than shallow rooted turf, which matters throughout the Upper Salt Creek Watershed that drains much of this community.
Commercial & HOA Xeriscaping
We also serve businesses, property managers, and HOA communities throughout Arlington Heights with commercial and HOA xeriscaping designed for durability, stormwater management, and strong curb appeal across shared spaces, working within existing aesthetic guidelines wherever applicable.
Landscaping Design & Installation and Plant Selection Consulting
Not every client starts with xeriscaping in mind, and that's fine. Our landscaping design and installation service covers the full process from site visit to final walkthrough, while our horticulture and plant selection consulting service offers standalone guidance for DIYers and garden enthusiasts who already have a vision but want expert input on soil, sun exposure, and native plant landscaping choices.
A Note on Local Rebates
We were not able to confirm a rain barrel or turf replacement rebate program specific to native landscaping in Arlington Heights. The Village does offer an Enhanced Sewer Back-up Rebate Program, covering 75 percent of the cost to install a Village approved overhead sewer or approved alternative flood control system, up to 11,250 dollars, though this program is aimed at basement backup prevention rather than landscaping specifically, and we cannot confirm whether native landscaping features qualify as an approved alternative under that program. If you're dealing with recurring basement backup issues, it's worth checking with the Village directly to see whether your property qualifies. In the meantime, native landscaping still delivers real value through reduced maintenance and improved surface drainage, separate from any rebate program.
