Why Choose B&C for Gardening?

Not all gardeners are designers, and not all designers understand plant care. Our team brings both expertise to every project. We start with a thorough site assessment, considering sun exposure, soil conditions, drainage, and your aesthetic preferences. We then design a planting plan that creates visual interest while ensuring plants thrive in your specific environment.

We source quality plants from trusted growers and handle all installation work with proper planting technique. Many clients appreciate our seasonal update service—we can refresh beds with new annuals each season or add seasonal color combinations that keep your garden looking fresh year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are ideal for most plantings. Spring perennials and shrubs establish before summer heat. Fall is perfect for bulbs and cool-season plantings. Summer annuals can be planted after frost danger passes. We avoid planting during extreme heat or drought when stress is high.

Basic maintenance includes watering, weeding, and deadheading. In fall, we cut back perennials and add mulch. Spring cleanup removes winter debris. We can include maintenance visits in your service plan or simply recommend best practices. Many clients enjoy the low-maintenance nature of well-designed perennial gardens.

Partial shade is actually ideal for many beautiful plants! Hostas, shade-tolerant perennials, and woodland plantings thrive in dappled sunlight. We select appropriate plant varieties based on your specific light conditions. Don't let shade stop you from having a beautiful garden.

Absolutely! We specialize in low-maintenance perennial gardens that look beautiful with minimal upkeep. We select hardy plants suited to Illinois, use proper mulching, and design beds for easy weeding and care. Many clients love the beauty with less work.
