Your Batavia Yard Is Fighting You
Batavia homeowners deal with some specific problems that most landscapers do not know how to handle. The Kane County clay is the big one. It holds water like a bowl, suffocates roots, and turns rock-hard in a dry July. Add mature trees, a freeze-thaw winter cycle, and a yard that slopes toward the Fox River, and you have a property that punishes whoever installed the last landscaping job wrong.
The clay in your beds drains so poorly that plants die in a wet spring. You have replaced the same spots three times.
Your paver patio or concrete walk is heaving at the joints. Every winter it gets a little worse, and now there are weeds splitting the cracks wider.
You have ash or elm trees that are clearly in trouble. You have been watching them decline for two seasons and dreading the call.
Properties near Batavia Creek or the Fox River flood zone have grade problems that no amount of mulch will fix.
The Historic District home you bought has beautiful bones but the landscape around it looks tired and out of scale.
Snow piles up on the driveway faster than you can deal with it, and last winter someone slipped on the walk.

What We Do for Batavia Homeowners
Arellano Landscaping handles full-property work in Batavia, from initial design through seasonal maintenance. We cover landscape design and installation, lawn care, tree service, paver patios and hardscaping, snow removal, and concrete driveways. Below is what each service includes.
Concrete Service
A concrete driveway or patio poured right should not need major work for 20 years. We use a mix spec and joint placement built for Kane County freeze-thaw, road salt, and the root pressure common on older Historic District lots. We also repair and resurface existing concrete when replacement is not the right call.
Our Concrete Service >
Landscape Design
We design Batavia landscapes that hold up long-term, starting with a soil and drainage assessment before any plant goes in. Whether you are in a newer Highlands or Braeburn build on stripped clay subsoil or an older Historic District property with established trees, the plan is tailored to your specific lot. You see it on paper before we start.
Our Landscaping Service >
Hardscaping
A patio from Arellano should look the same in year ten as it does in year one. We build on a compacted crushed limestone base with proper edge restraints and polymeric sand, sized for the ground movement that Batavia's freeze-thaw winters and Fox River corridor lots actually produce.
Our Hardscape Service >
Lawn Care Service
A lawn care program should produce a yard you are proud of by midsummer, not one you are still fighting by August. We build around your specific Batavia lawn, not a generic Fox Valley schedule, accounting for drainage, soil type, and turf condition from the start.
Our Lawn Care Service >
Tree Service
If a tree on your property looks wrong, get it assessed before it turns into an emergency removal. We handle assessment, pruning, removal, and stump grinding throughout Batavia, and with active emerald ash borer pressure across Kane County, ash trees especially need a look before the window to act closes.
Our Tree Care Service >
Snow Removal Service
The right snow contract means you stop thinking about your driveway from November through March. Ours cover the full Batavia winter: plowing, walkway clearing, and de-icing without a call from you each time it snows. Contracts open in August and close when the schedule fills.

Why Batavia Homeowners Call Arellano Landscaping
We have been working Kane County properties since 2012. Over that time, we have learned what Batavia soil does in a dry summer versus a wet one, how the freeze-thaw cycle affects the base under a patio near the Fox River, and which trees in the Historic District and Windmill City Estates are worth saving versus removing. That local knowledge is not something you get from a company that bids Batavia jobs out of a regional office.
Jordan Arellano runs the company and shows up for every estimate. You are not talking to a scheduler who relays your questions to a crew you will never meet. When Jordan walks your Batavia property and writes your quote, that is the person accountable for the work from start to finish.
We cover the whole property under one roof. Design, plantings, lawn care, tree work, paver patios, concrete, and snow removal all run through one crew and one point of contact. That matters in Batavia, where many homeowners have multiple contractors who do not talk to each other, and where a drainage fix in the planting beds needs to be coordinated with the grade work near the hardscape.
Every estimate is written, line-itemized, and free. You see exactly what the job costs before you decide. No ballpark numbers, no add-ons at the end.

Kane County's heavy clay soil is something we deal with on nearly every Batavia project. We start with proper soil assessment and grading, install French drains or other drainage solutions where needed, amend the soil for planting beds, and select plants that perform well in clay conditions. Properties near the Fox River and Batavia Creek often need specialized drainage design, which is something we have extensive experience with.
Yes. We've worked on properties in Batavia's Historic District and Original Town area. Older homes with limestone facades, mature trees, and established landscapes need a different approach than newer subdivisions. We design landscaping that complements the architecture and preserves the character of these properties while making practical improvements.
Spring is the most popular time, especially for plantings, sod, and lawn care programs. Hardscape projects (patios, retaining walls, walkways) can start as soon as the ground thaws and run through late fall. We recommend booking early because our spring schedule fills up fast in the Fox Valley area. Call (630) 402-7001 to get on the calendar.
Yes, we offer seasonal contracts for both residential and commercial properties in Batavia. Contracts cover driveway plowing, walkway clearing, and de-icing so you're covered all winter without calling each time it snows. We also serve commercial properties along Randall Road and Wilson Street. Call (630) 402-7001 to set up your winter service.
We serve all of Batavia, including the Historic District, the Highlands, Braeburn, Tanglewood, Windmill City Estates, Fox Trail, Prairie Trail, Cherry Park, Hubbard's Landing, and properties near Fermilab and the Fox River Forest Preserve. We also serve neighboring communities including Geneva, St. Charles, and the broader Fox Valley.
