Frequently Asked Questions
📋 Permits & Logistics
Do I need a permit for my fence or patio project? In most cases, yes. The City of Elgin and surrounding municipalities require permits for permanent structures, including fences, decks, and certain patio sizes. Panorama Outdoor Living handles the entire permitting process for you, from application to final inspection, so you don't have to worry about the paperwork.
Will you call J.U.L.I.E. before digging? Absolutely. Safety is our priority. We coordinate with J.U.L.I.E. to mark all underground utility lines (gas, electric, water) at least 48 hours before we break ground on any fencing or hardscape project.
🛡️ Fencing
What is the best type of fence for privacy? For maximum privacy and low maintenance, we recommend Vinyl (PVC) fencing. If you prefer a natural look, Western Red Cedar is a premium option that resists rot and looks beautiful. We can help you choose the best style based on your budget and aesthetic.
How long does a fence installation take? Most residential fence projects are completed within 2 to 4 days, depending on the linear footage and the soil conditions. We will provide a specific timeline once your materials are on-site.
🏗️ Hardscaping & Landscaping
How long do I have to wait to use my new paver patio? You can walk on your new patio immediately! However, if we used polymeric sand in the joints, we recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before moving heavy furniture back onto the surface to allow the sand to fully cure.
When is the best time of year to start a landscape project? In Illinois, the "sweet spot" is typically April through October. However, we book our calendar months in advance. We recommend reaching out in late winter or early spring to ensure your project is completed in time for summer entertaining.
🚜 Lawn Care & Maintenance
What happens if it rains on my scheduled mowing day? If weather prevents us from mowing, we automatically shift your service to the next available clear day. Our goal is to ensure your lawn is cut at the optimal height without causing ruts or damage from wet soil.
Do I need to be home when you are working? No. As long as our crew has access to your backyard (gates unlocked and pets indoors), you do not need to be home. We will send a notification or a photo update when the job is complete.
