Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Illinois

“Mary came out and we discussed what I was wanting in my landscaping. She created a design plan for my front and back yards and hired the needed help to make it happen. It turned out beautiful and I've gotten lots of compliments on my yard!”

“The Hursthouse team patiently spent many hours developing a detailed and extensive renovation plan for our entire property. Major features of the plan included: --installing a brick paver driveway bordered by a snapcut limestone retaining wall --installing bluestone front entry walk and porch --rebuilding backyard bluestone patio and new courtyard area with water fountain and cast iron fence border --extensive landscape lighting both front and back --installing imported planter urns on pedestals --extensive tree & shrub planting, perennials & ground cover. The design added great value and enhanced our enjoyment of our property in ways we never anticipated. The entire Hursthouse team took great pride in their work and went to great lengths to make us very satisfied clients.”

“We just finished a massive 3500 sq ft project with Brick Logik. Our project consisted of a custom bar area, fire pit, drainage for our pool, seat walls, stairs, led lighting, day bed area, and landscaping. We met with several other companies to design this project including JR's Creative Landscape, C.B. Conlin, CMS Landscape, and O'Donovan Landscape. 3 of those companies gave us design plans prior to us finding Brick Logik. All of the plans were nice but nothing special or unique which is what we were looking for. When we first met Adolfo I had a list of things that I wanted our outdoor space to accomplish such as a bar area, walkway to our spa, covered area for BBQ etc. When Adolfo finished his first design he met with us at our home and showed us his 3D concept which completely blew us away. Everything that we had asked him to accomplish into our design was part of his rendering, but it was even more creative than we could have ever imagined. He even built in elevation changes in our relatively flat back yard. Our project design period took roughly a month but we could tell that Adolfo was going above and beyond to make us something special and unique. He also was patient with us because we kept changing and tweaking things. We probably had a total of 5 meetings before finalizing a design that fit within our budget and signing a contract. Not one time did he act like we were wasting his time or pressure us to sign a contract before he would make more revisions. After calling some of the references provided, all of which had glowing things to say, we decided to choose Brick Logik. Since our project was so large, we had some issues with getting our permitting approved but Adolfo and Alex stuck with us and did everything they could to help us move it along until it finally reached approval. Once we got the permit they set a start date and we were provided a calendar with a day by day agenda on what was to be done. My wife and I have hired lots of contractors before and were never given such a detailed timeline. We actually thought that the timeline seemed impossible to meet because they only factored in 5 weeks, but they were there 10 hours a day and if the weather would not permit working they would come on the weekend to make up the time. They finished the project in exactly 5 weeks. I can honestly say I have never seen a harder working crew of guys, or a crew that took such great pride in the quality of the work they do. They cleaned up after themselves every day and the project was completed without any major roadblocks or setbacks. That being said, we had a couple minor issues. For example, one stair was collecting some rain water because it was not pitched correctly. I told Adolfo about it and instead of dancing around the issue he said don't worry we will fix it. The next day there were 3 guys outside taking out the stair and changing the pitch. I wish more companies were like this. These guys legitimately care about you being satisfied with your experience and the finished product, not just trying to make a quick buck and move on to the next customer. Highly recommend!”

“We have had the pleasure of partnering with with Van Zelst, Inc. on numerous jobs over many years. Each project has been thoughtfully designed, and professionally executed from start to finish. We look forward to our next opportunity to partner with them.”

“Chalet is a fantastic company, they do phenomenal work. I highly recommend them whether you are simply buying plants to plant yourself or using their landscaping services to create something very personal and beautiful.”

“Marilyn could not be more courteous, patient and knowledgeable about her profession. She has an excellent eye for design of both landscapes and hardscapes and we could not be more thrilled with the end product of her work. She is very hands on, will work to keep costs down, and always has a smile on her face. You won't be dissappointed with the result if you work with Marilyn. Guaranteed!”

“Just started working with Joe but we loved his design so we went with him. He's very passionate about his work. He picked out beautiful plantings and his design had so much movement to it. His pricing was very reasonable and he's been very helpful in the whole process in getting this started. Our work starts at the end of September and I'll be back for the final review but so far Joe's been great and very helpful!”

“Heffernan Landscape Design designed and installed a garden and patio after gut-rehab and addition built to my home. The architecture of my home, my needs, wish list and my abilitiy as a gardner were taken into account when the garden was designed. A large patio with seating, greenspace, herb garden, and shade trees was installed. Excellent work with beautiful results. Courteous crew left the area spotless.”

“Pete Wodarz does all my landscaping designs around the country -- I would not work with anyone else..... I think that says it all.”

“We have used Rolling Landscapes on a number of occassions - Each of those times we were very satisfied with the results. They are very helpful with designing our project. Great in assiting our current need and our needs for growing or adding onto the project at a later date.”
