Even small-business owners need a night off! 🎃

After a busy first season building TruRoots Landscaping, we’re grateful to step away for a little family time and experience Halloween Horror Nights for the first time.

Thank you to everyone who has supported TruRoots this year. Now it’s time to see if we’re brave enough to make it through the night! 😂👻

A couple months ago, these homeowners paid someone two cuts in advance to take care of their property.

Unfortunately, the work never got done, communication stopped, and the property continued to get more and more overgrown.

That’s when they reached out to TruRoots Landscaping.

Today, about 4½ hours later, we got everything cleaned up, cut back, hauled away, and looking like a yard again.

Swipe through all 14 photos because these before & afters speak for themselves.

Stories like this are a big part of why I started TruRoots. We wanted to build a company that serves our community the right way. Nobody likes paying their hard-earned money and feeling like they’ve been taken advantage of.

We show up. We communicate. We do what we say we’re going to do.

Rooted in reliability. Dependability you can count on.

Do you have landscape fabric underneath your mulch? You may want to take a closer look….

During this flower bed cleanup, I found old fabric deteriorating, weeds growing above it and roots spreading underneath it. Landscape fabric can help, but it definitely doesn’t mean your beds will remain weed-free forever.

My recommendation: keep it simple with two to three inches of mulch, apply Preen as directed and stay on top of regular maintenance.

Do you use landscape fabric in your flower beds or do you prefer mulch alone?

Yesterday’s rain gave me a chance to catch up on editing some projects I’ve been meaning to share.

This was a fun one! We cleaned out the flower beds, refreshed everything with fresh mulch, installed crisp natural edging, and gave the landscape a clean, finished look. We also trimmed back overgrown rose bushes, planted a Little Lime hydrangea, installed a custom brick address emblem, and applied Preen to help keep the beds looking their best.

There’s nothing better than seeing the difference a little hard work can make. Thanks again to these homeowners for trusting TruRoots Landscaping!

If your property could use a refresh, I’d be happy to provide a free estimate. Send me a message to get on the schedule!

A little late posting this one, but it was too good not to share.

We transformed this front landscape by:
Trimming and shaping the existing shrubs
Creating clean, hand-dug natural bed edges
Cleaning out the landscape beds
Installing fresh mulch for a clean, finished look

It’s amazing how much of a difference proper pruning, crisp edges, and fresh mulch can make.

If your landscape is looking a little overgrown or needs a refresh, we’d love to help.

What do you think of the transformation? Let me know in the comments.

Quick timelapse from today’s aeration job in Bridgeview
This is what helps lawns breathe, take in water, and actually thicken up.

You’d be surprised how many lawns need this right now.
Not too late to get it done!

Hi everyone it’s Carlos with Truroots Landscaping.

We’re out here in Lyons wrapping up a cleanup and mulch job… just wanted to show you how it turned out.

This is honestly the best time to get this done before everything starts growing in.

I’ll throw some before and afters below — big difference.
