About Lemont
Why Lemont Homeowners Choose Us
Dufour Services provides premium landscaping and drainage solutions to homeowners in Lemont (60439). As a local company serving Cook County, we understand the unique landscaping challenges of the area.
Scenic community with hilly terrain that presents unique drainage and grading challenges requiring specialized solutions and creative hardscaping.
Lemont is genuinely hilly — a rarity this close to Chicago — carved by the Des Plaines River valley, the old limestone quarries, and the I&M Canal corridor. Homes near Waterfall Glen and along the bluff streets deal with real slopes, and slope means moving water.
Runoff is Lemont's defining landscape issue: uphill neighbors, downspout erosion on grades, and retaining walls doing structural work on sloped lots. Hardscaping here has to be engineered, not just installed.
Our Services in Lemont
Drainage Solutions
On Lemont's sloped lots, drainage is about interception — catching hillside runoff in swales and French drains before it reaches the foundation or erodes the yard. We design for the slope you actually have, not a flat-lot template.
Paver Walkways
Walkways in Lemont often mean steps and grade changes. We build paver walks with integrated steps and landings that handle elevation safely and match the stone character of the town.
Grading & Excavation
Regrading in Lemont frequently involves terracing — turning an unusable slope into retained, level ground. Every grade change gets a designed drainage path so runoff never concentrates against a wall or foundation.
