Landscaping in Highland Park, Illinois.
Highland Park homes range from lakefront properties near the bluffs to established neighborhoods shaded by old hardwoods. With ravines cutting toward Lake Michigan, getting water to move correctly is central to almost every project here.
What Highland Park yards usually need.
The ravines and bluff slopes near Highland Park's lakefront make erosion and drainage a constant concern, and many older homes have settled grading and tired beds. We design retaining walls and ravine-edge plantings that hold soil, route runoff away from foundations, and rebuild patios and walkways to suit historic and architect-built homes alike.

Questions homeowners ask before starting.
The slope toward the ravine is washing out. Can you stabilize it?
Yes. Near Highland Park's ravines we use retaining walls, deep-rooted plantings, and proper grading to hold soil and slow runoff before it cuts into the bank.
Where does all my downspout water go on a bluff lot?
We route Highland Park downspout and surface water through drains that carry it safely past slopes and ravines instead of letting it pool or erode the bank.
Can you match new hardscape to my older home?
We do. Many Highland Park homes are decades old, and we choose paver styles and stone that suit the architecture rather than looking new and out of place.
