Design Philosophy

Our first priority is to help you discover and express what you truly want from your landscape, be it continuous color, ease of maintenance or entertaining friends.

After assesimg the site, including present plants and trees, architectural style, sun/ shade patterns and other considerations, we design for balance and scale, color and texture, seasonal variation and overall harmony. We anticipate how the plants grow so your landscape continues to please for years to come.

Whenever a design allows, we prefer to use plants native to the Northern Illinois region for their many benefits. Click here to find out more.
