Creating Outdoor Spaces That Fit Your Elmhurst Home

Green Grass fixes standing water and drainage problems in Elmhurst yards by studying how water moves across the property and correcting the source, whether that means burying downspouts, adjusting grade, or installing drainage across a larger area. Connecting a single downspout to a buried underground pipe typically costs $500 to $1,000, while burying multiple downspouts around a home typically runs $3,000 to $5,000. More complex drainage work across a larger part of the property typically ranges from $8,000 to $20,000. Drainage corrections can be completed on their own or built into a patio, planting, or lawn project so the new work is not undermined by the same water problem.

After a home addition or renovation, an Elmhurst landscape usually needs to be reworked so patios, walkways, planting beds, and lawn areas connect to the new footprint of the house. Construction often leaves damaged lawn, disrupted beds, and grade changes that affect drainage. Green Grass evaluates how the updated home and yard now function together and plans improvements that tie the spaces back into one property. Some homeowners use the moment to add a patio, pergola, or outdoor kitchen off the new living space, while others focus on restoring planting beds and lawn.

Green Grass installs and removes holiday lighting and decor for Elmhurst homeowners, handling the planning, installation, seasonal support, and takedown so no one in the household has to get on a ladder. Displays can include roofline lighting, entryway decor, tree and walkway lighting, and larger seasonal displays across the property. Each decor plan is built around the home’s rooflines, entries, and planting layout so the display fits the landscape. Booking in early fall gives the team time to plan the display before installation begins.
