Homes and yards in Manhattan
Manhattan has older homes near the village center, newer subdivisions with young trees, and rural properties on the edges of town with windbreaks and tree lines.
Landscaping challenges in Manhattan yards
Full sun and wind
Plants need to handle heat and wind. Native prairie plants are a great fit.
New lawns
New homes need solid soil prep before sod or seed. See sod installation.
Dust and mud
Open land means dust in dry weeks and mud in wet ones. Beds and mulch help keep soil in place.

Why we like working in Manhattan
Manhattan has a small town feel and beautiful open land around it. The Wauponsee Glacial Trail runs through the area, and Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie is not far away. It is a great reminder of the prairie that once covered this part of Illinois.
Big tree shading out the lawn or a dead one in the way? We also do tree removal in Manhattan and trimming, so one crew handles the whole yard.
