Our drought tolerant landscaping service replaces high maintenance turf with resilient native and prairie plantings suited to Joliet's 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. As Joliet continues its citywide push toward long term water sustainability, including its planned transition to a new Lake Michigan water source by 2030, native and low maintenance landscaping fits naturally into that broader conservation effort.

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 Joliet's specific soil and drainage conditions. Deep rooted native plants absorb significantly more stormwater than shallow rooted turf, helping ease runoff issues that many Joliet neighborhoods experience during heavy spring rain events.
Commercial & HOA Xeriscaping
We also serve businesses, property managers, and HOA communities throughout Joliet 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.
Water Conservation Incentives for Joliet Residents
Joliet does not currently offer a per square foot cash rebate for turf replacement. It does offer a genuinely useful incentive through its Rain Barrel Subsidy Program, however. Joliet water customers can purchase up to three rain barrels per household for the life of the program at a subsidized cost of 35 dollars each, with 150 subsidies made available each year on a first come, first served basis. Capturing rainwater this way lowers your utility bill while giving your native plantings a free, chemical free water source during dry stretches. We help clients incorporate subsidized rain barrels into their overall xeriscape and native landscape designs from the start.
