Not every backyard gets built in one go, and there is nothing wrong with that. Plenty of the homeowners talking to hardscape contractors in Marengo, IL this year are asking about staging the work across two or three seasons rather than committing to all of it at once. Done properly, that costs very little extra. Done badly, it means paying twice for the same grading.

M.A.B. Landscape Group is a family-owned company and a Unilock Authorized Contractor, and our team brings more than 30 years of experience in the landscape design and building industry to projects staged across more than one season. 

Most people do not call a landscape design company because their yard looks fine. They call because something is not working. The patio is too small. The yard floods after every storm. The fire pit feels disconnected from the rest of the space. There is a vision for what the yard could be, but no clear path to get there.

That is where design comes in. Not as a luxury. As the step that keeps everything else from being a waste of money.
