Landscaping in Lake Bluff, Illinois.
Lake Bluff's village blocks of historic homes and its bluff-side properties near the lake call for landscaping that respects an older streetscape. Mature trees and established gardens set the tone for the work we do here.
What Lake Bluff yards usually need.
Many Lake Bluff homes are a century old with settled gardens, brick walks, and large shade trees that limit lawn options. The bluff areas add slope and drainage concerns near the lake. We restore tired beds, rebuild walkways in keeping with the period architecture, and manage runoff on sloped lots so water moves away from old foundations.

Questions homeowners ask before starting.
My historic Lake Bluff garden is overgrown. Can you restore it?
Yes. We thin, re-edge, and replant established Lake Bluff gardens to bring back their structure while keeping the mature plants worth saving.
Can you rebuild my old brick walkway to match the house?
We can. For Lake Bluff's older homes we reset or rebuild walkways in brick and natural stone that suit the period rather than clash with it.
Water runs toward my foundation on the bluff. What helps?
On Lake Bluff's sloped lots we regrade and add drainage to carry runoff away from the house and downhill before it reaches the foundation.
