Settle up after approval

Choose the pro you trust and message in-app. Your money sits in Stripe escrow until the cleanup is done, the lawn’s reseeded, and you’ve checked it yourself.

FAQ

Chicago Landscaping — Quick Answers

When is the best time for landscaping in Chicago?
Spring cleanup (April–May), planting/mulching (May–June), fall cleanup (Oct–Nov). Book early for spring services as demand spikes after winter.
Do landscapers handle materials or do I buy them?
Most include mulch, plants, pavers, etc., in quotes and handle purchasing/delivery. Labor-only options available if you supply materials — clarify in chat.
What plants work best in Chicago yards?
USDA Zone 5b-6a. Native hardy options: coneflower, black-eyed Susan, little bluestem, serviceberry, ninebark. Low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly, and tolerant of clay soil and winters.
Do landscapers need licenses or insurance?
Many do carry general liability insurance and workers’ comp, especially for hardscaping or heavy equipment. Ask about licenses, insurance, and bonding directly in the AllBetter chat before hiring to confirm.
How do I fix drainage issues in my yard?
Common fixes: French drains, regrading, rain gardens, or downspout extensions. Post photos and describe pooling areas for accurate bids from local pros.
What should I include in my landscaping job post?
Yard size (front/back), photos of current state, services needed (mowing, planting, hardscape), timing, sun exposure, soil/drainage notes, and any budget range.
