What Lux Landscaping Construction Builds
Five trades, each with its own page: what the work covers, how it is built, the materials you can choose between, and what northern Illinois weather and soil demand of it.

Each hub page covers the whole trade. Under it sits a page for every individual job we take on, written to answer that one question properly rather than in a single line.

How it goes
The same four steps, whichever trade you need
Request
Call, or send the estimate form with the address and a sentence about what you have in mind. Photos of the area help, though they are not required.
On-site walkthrough
We come out and look at the actual ground: where water goes, how steep the grade is, what the soil is doing, and where a truck and a machine can reach. Most of what makes a job go well or badly is decided here.
Written estimate
You get the scope and the price in writing, with the materials named, before anything is ordered or dug. If something changes on site, it gets priced before it is built.
Build and final walkthrough
We lay out, excavate, build and clean up, then walk the finished work with you and go through how to look after it through its first winter.
Where we work
Every service, across the Fox Valley
We travel from Aurora to communities within roughly 30 miles. Permit rules and ground conditions vary town to town, which is why each one has its own page.
