What makes Dunlap-area yards different
Dunlap itself is a small village, but the area around it has grown as Peoria has spread north. That means a lot of the yards we see are in newer subdivisions, and newer yards have their own problems.
When a house is built, the topsoil often gets scraped off or buried, and heavy equipment packs the clay underneath. The builder lays sod or seed on a thin layer, and a few years later the lawn is patchy, water sits in low spots, and trees planted at closing are struggling. Fixing that usually starts with the soil and grading, not more fertilizer.
Common jobs
What Dunlap-area homeowners usually call about
First landscaping
Beds, foundation plantings and trees for a new house that came with only sod. See landscape design.
Patchy new lawns
Aeration, overseeding or re-sodding over compacted builder soil. See aeration and sod and seeding.
Water in the yard
Low spots, swales that don’t drain and downspouts dumping by the foundation. See drainage.
Patios
Backyard patios and walkways for houses that came with just a small slab. See patios.
HOA rules
Many subdivisions have HOA landscape rules. We work within them; Illinois law also protects native plantings. See rules guide.
Weekly mowing
Regular mowing and edging for busy families. See mowing.
Good to know
Local rules
Dunlap and the unincorporated areas around it are not covered by City of Peoria yard waste pickup. Trash and yard waste service depends on whether you’re inside the village or in a subdivision outside it, so check with the Village of Dunlap at (309) 243-7500 or your HOA or hauler before a big cleanup. We can haul debris away if curb pickup isn’t an option.
Before digging, utilities get marked through JULIE (811), as anywhere in Illinois.
FAQ
Dunlap landscaping questions

Usually compacted clay and thin topsoil from construction. Core aeration and overseeding help; badly compacted areas may need soil work and new sod.
