We chose Aerate 1 nearly 20 years ago to install our pond and we have been loving it ever since! They are still around, still local and when I call about every 5 years for pond cleaning, I can speak to Aerate 1 owner Hector and he has a crew out within a week. Super nice crews, hard working, I highly recommend them.

Expert Patio Installation in Yorkville, IL
Patio installation in Yorkville, IL comes with a challenge most homeowners do not expect: clay subsoil. Yorkville sits on clay-heavy ground that flexes with every freeze-thaw cycle. A base that holds up elsewhere can shift and heave here within a few winters. At Aerate1 Landscaping & Ponds, we account for that from the start. We excavate to the correct depth, compact a proper aggregate base, and pitch the surface away from your foundation to move water clear of your home. We handle every step, from site grading and base prep to final surface installation and edge finishing. Our work suits Yorkville backyards of all sizes, whether you want a simple seating area or a larger outdoor living space with room for a grill, dining set, and fire feature. If your yard has slopes, drainage concerns, or limited access, we plan around those conditions before any work begins. Call us to schedule a site visit and get a clear picture of what your patio project involves.
