Our Process

Comprehensive Landscaping Services for Chicagoland Residences & Businesses
1. Initial Inquiry & Evaluation

After contacting us the first time, our team evaluates your project live with you over the phone. Fit is important to us. Due to overwhelming demand, our team cannot accommodate every request we receive. We carefully assess every inquiry and advise if our company can take on your project or if we may have to decline due to scope, budget or location.

2. Free Consulation & Meeting

If the project is a fit for both of us, a meeting is scheduled to visit your property, discuss your goals and budget. Design fees typically start at $1,000 and can go up from there. Your project's design fee is discussed during this meeting.

3. Design Phase

Once a design contract has been signed, the design phase begins:

‍

Site survey & base plan

We visit your property to gather detailed measurements, grades, house elevations and take some photographs. A scaled base plan is prepared to show the complete site information accurately.

‍

Property research

Our team researches the project site to gather information regarding by-laws, zoning, lot coverage, offsets, conservation etc. The findings determine what can be done on your property and assist with the design discussions. We take care of all the permitting!

‍

Concept Presentation

The design team presents a detailed concept plan along with an itemized cost estimate. We want to hear your thoughts about the concepts and any changes you may have.

‍

Scope of Work & Final Estimate

When you are ready to approve the design, we prepare an itemized final construction estimate.

4. Contract & Deposit

Upon deciding to proceed, we commence the process to formalize contracts, gather signatures and obtain a deposit. We typically request a 1/3rd deposit which allows us to secure materials and your project spot on the construction schedule.

5. Permit Process & Working Drawings

We believe in doing things by the book. If a permit for your job is needed, ordinarily we will initiate the permit application on your behalf. Permit drawings will need to be made, and all construction details worked out.

6. Construction Begins

Sit back and relax. We take care of all the details during development and keep you informed on a need-to-know basis. Our sales staff is with you every step of the way!

Design Vibes

Do you know your design style?
Design Image
Modern
Modern landscaping emphasizes clean lines, minimalism, and functionality. It often incorporates sleek materials such as concrete, steel, and glass. Plants are carefully selected for their architectural shapes and textures rather than for abundance. Water features may include geometric shapes or reflective pools. Overall, the design aims for a contemporary and sophisticated aesthetic.
Design Image
Natural
Natural landscaping seeks to mimic the organic beauty of untouched landscapes. It emphasizes the use of native plants and materials to create a harmonious environment that blends seamlessly with the surrounding ecosystem. Designs often feature curved pathways, meandering streams, and naturalistic plantings that evoke a sense of wilderness. The goal is to create a tranquil and immersive experience that feels like a natural extension of the environment.
Design Image
Formal
Formal landscaping exudes elegance, symmetry, and orderliness. It often incorporates geometric shapes, precise lines, and carefully manicured plantings. Common elements include formal hedges, symmetrical plantings, and focal points. Formal gardens may also include structured features like clipped lawns, ornate fountains, and precisely laid pathways. The design exudes a sense of refinement and classical beauty.
Design Image
Traditional
Traditional landscaping draws inspiration from historical garden styles and cultural influences. It often features a diverse mix of plantings, including flowering shrubs, perennial borders, and specimen trees. Designs may include elements such as quaint garden structures, as well as decorative elements like ornamental planters and trellises. Traditional landscapes prioritize lushness, color, and a sense of timelessness, creating inviting and picturesque outdoor spaces.

Naperville
Nantucket
The client was not satisfied by the patio and grill surround installed by their builder, so they asked us to create an environment better suited to their family and social activities. Several ‘rooms’ were designed with this in mind. A large outdoor kitchen and bar seamlessly interact with a living room containing a fireplace and outdoor television, and a separate dining area for more intimate gatherings.

Lake House Retreat
Natural
Along one side of the home, an informal bluestone pathway leads to an intimate semi-circular limestone kitchen with Italian pizza oven, high-end gas grill and Green Egg. In the back yard, a curvilinear bluestone patio with limestone seat wall and circular fire feature complements the home’s architectural detailing. Naturalistic garden spaces surround the patio to create seasonal color and provide intimacy without obstructing views of Lake Geneva.

A Gardener's Paradise
Natural
What started as bare soil new construction 25 years ago, has developed into a Gardener’s Paradise, installing everything from plantings, hardscapes, a water feature and overall lighting. The entire property has been continually maintained on a monthly basis, with our company for over 20 years. Endlessly evolving, every year new projects are thought up and implemented, some large and some smaller, creating the private estate garden on a suburban lot that the client was dreaming of.
