Landscape & Walkway Installation Project in Collinsville, IL

Landscape & Walkway Installation Project in Collinsville, IL

When our clients in Collinsville, IL, reached out to us, they wanted to take their backyard space to the next level. There were leaves everywhere, an ill-defined pool area, and no path leading from their fence into the back. Fortunately, our team was committed to bringing their dream outdoor living space to fruition, and we began this project with landscaping. We removed the leaves, installed a rock ground cover, and added small plants. Then, we built their walkway using durable materials, which we assembled in a cobblestone-like pattern. After that, we replaced their brown, patchy grass with vibrant, lush sod. Now, it's a functional area that blends the hardscape features with softscapes for a cohesive, purposeful look.

The first step of this project was to do the landscaping, which included rock installation, plantings, and more.

This project was extensive, as our clients have a large outdoor living space. So, we took it in steps, with the first being the landscaping. Leaves covered nearly every inch of their backyard, so our team thoroughly cleaned them up. Then, we got to work on defining the pool area by surrounding it with a landscape bed. We also made a circular separation around the base of their trees and the lawn. Next, we filled those areas with a rock ground cover, which we added along the side of their house where the walkway would go. Following that, we installed some small, subtle plantings in the bed around the pool to break up the rocks with touches of greenery.

Next, we installed their walkway with top-quality materials and a unique cobblestone-like pattern.

The next step of this project was to install their walkway, which would lead from their fence to the backyard area. Our team followed a comprehensive process to ensure proper installation, and we used top-quality materials that can withstand frequent foot traffic and still look great. We put a darker stone as the outline of the walkway, then fashioned varying circular stones in different earthy tones in a unique cobblestone-like pattern. This pattern, plus the colors and materials, give the walkway a rustic appearance that complements its surroundings.

The final step of this project was to install sod throughout their yard.

With the landscaping and installation of the walkway complete, the last step of this project was to replace their brown, patchy grass with sod. Once we removed the existing lawn, our crew installed the sod throughout their outdoor living space, exercising precision to ensure everything lined up and there were no gaps. The results are night and day; instead of dull, lackluster grass, our clients now have lush, vibrant growth that enhances their landscape beds even more and creates a cohesive, purposeful look throughout the yard.
