Good To Know
Do you work outside of the Barrington area?
Yes. We serve the greater Chicagoland area.
Where do you get your plant material from?
We locally source our plant material to ensure that it is grown in our local soil types and is hearty to our climate.
How long does a typical landscape project take to install?
Most of our landscape projects take between 1-3 weeks to install. We have all the materials on hand to maximize efficiencies and once we start your project we stay on the job with the same crews until the job is complete.
Do you charge a design fee?
When is the right time to plant trees and shrubs?
How much should I water my lawn?
The general rule of thumb is one inch of water per week. We strongly recommend a deep watering routine that delivers the same amount of water each week but at less frequent intervals. Water longer each time but less frequent. This technique promotes a deeper root structure with a heartier healthier lawn.
How often should I fertilize my lawn?
For lawns that do not have regular watering from an automatic irrigation system we recommend 2 – 3 fertilizations per year. For lawns with automatic irrigation systems we recommend 3-4 fertilizations per year.
Do I need to mulch every year?
At SanFilippo Landscape, we make it our mission to create and maintain stunning, one-of-a-kind outdoor spaces that stand the test of time. We accomplish this by following best practices for the benefit of our clients, our community, and our environment.
