And we're so happy to live in a world where there And we're so happy to live in a world where there are Octobers, too! Happy October! One of the reasons we love October (besides the obvious pumpkins, cider, and football games, of course) is that October means fall is in full swing- and fall is the P E R F E C T time to plant. Planting new perennials, shrubs, or trees in the fall gives a plant the best atmosphere to settle in and flourish: Lower temperatures and cool, fall rains provide the right environment for roots to establish and take in everything they need to thrive throughout the winter, and for seasons to come! And the best thing about getting new plants installed by Apple Blossom, no matter the season? If a plant we install doesn't continue to flourish for whatever reason, we stand behind our industry-leading warranties, and will replace it, no questions asked. If you're looking to update your outdoor spaces, or desire a yard transformation for the very first time, call us today at 630-365-3210, or reach out to us via our website or social media accounts. #october #October2023 #October1st #happyoctober #landscaping #landscapingdesign #landscapeideas #northernillinois #foxvalley #stcharles
Our clients look forward to a heavy rain after we Our clients look forward to a heavy rain after we fix their drainage issues. A client called us this week to say thank you and to tell us how effective our drainage remediation was at his property. He told us that as he watched the heavy rain come down, traveling away from his house instead of INTO his home, he was so excited, he called for his wife to come watch how it was working with him! While that might not sound like an exciting way to spend an evening, when you’re used to being afraid of a heavy downpour, seeing your yard drain effectively can be entertaining and rewarding. If the heavy rain predictions in your weather app or on the morning news make you nervous, or if you’re tired of dealing with the mess and headache of heavy rainfall, it’s time to give us a call. When fixing a drainage issue, we use our machinery, different forms of drains, and our knowledge and expertise to solve the problems of our clients. The rainwater is then channeled far away from their homes, taking the worries of flooding and draining problems with it. We obtain required permits and work with cities and villages to ensure all our work is approved, and our professional team members will bring the project to life to make it as efficient as possible. When we complete each project, our customers are left with a finished product that is very functional underground, as well as new landscape and hardscape projects above ground that are more aesthetically pleasing. In need of drainage help? Contact us for more information, at our office at 630-365-3210 or through our website at www.appleblossomlandscape.com #landscaper #landscapers #landscapersofinstagram #illinois #foxvalley #stcharlesil #stcharles #northernil #loveyouryard #diy #drainagehelp #flooding

“But why didn’t any other company tell me this “But why didn’t any other company tell me this?” This week Harvey had a consultation with a customer who wanted a certain kind of shrub in a redesigned front landscape bed. Harvey told the prospective client that the plant wouldn’t survive well in the full shade. She was perplexed that the other contractors who had previously quoted the project said they were happy to put the desired shrub in. This happens often. When it does, Harvey will ask the client some questions, such as “what warranties did they offer?” or “what is the education background or years of experience of the contractor?” While we can’t read the minds of other contractors, we can only guess some contractors are willing to make a client happy in the short term and give them want they want without thinking about the long term survival and satisfaction of their client. But we’re in it for the long haul. If Harvey isn’t certain a plant will thrive and grow in your outdoor space, he’s not going to put in your custom design. And we back up our designs with our warranties that most companies do not offer. Our industry-leading warranties protect your investment for multiple years. Our confidence in our hand-picked plants, team members, and installation practices will in turn become your confidence in choosing the right company to renovate your outdoor space. Don’t just pick a company that will just give you what you want right now. Make sure it’s a company that will evaluate your space and give you custom design your property deserves for years to come.
