Path lights are practical outdoor lighting fixtures that not only emphasize the driveways, paths, and walkways throughout your home’s landscaping; they illuminate low-growing plants and groundcovers.
Uplighting/Accent Lighting is used to accentuate the architecture of your home, specimen plantings, and highlight garden features. Illuminate trees from below to shine up and accent the beautiful shape of plantings.

Downlighting, also referred to as moonlighting mimics the soft glow of a natural full moon. These hidden fixtures are a great way to highlight landscape planting beds, pools, paths, driveways, and ponds. Highlight the beauty of your landscape while achieving and imitating natural full moonlight.

Brick pavers are an interlocking concrete product or clay paver. They are versatile pavers and used for many applications including – driveways, walkways, patios, pool decking and courtyards. We also use brick pavers to create accents in retaining walls, seat walls, columns and for outdoor garden accents including outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and fire pits. This creates a nice uniform design tying multiple aspects for your landscape together.
Permeable brick pavers are interlocking and their wider joint construction allows water to penetrate into the ground. Environmentally friendly permeable pavers are a logical solution for stormwater management; eliminating a large portion of stormwater runoff while replenishing our depleting groundwater supply. This “green” paver is a great way to beautify a space with eco-friendly consciousness in mind. Controlling stormwater with permeable pavers will improve water quality and reduce erosion and flooding.
The permeable brick pavers are great for driveway pavers and to pave roads and parking lots, where a large portion of our stormwater runoff occurs. The bricks are stronger and very tolerant of heavy traffic and equipment. Commercial savings are substantial for large parking lots versus traditional brick pavers or asphalt. The initial cost of installation will be greater but the savings on drainage management and maintenance will be well worth the up front investment.
Even in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, you can enjoy the soothing sights and sounds of water features in your landscape. We design and install ponds, waterfalls, pondless water features and fountains to complement your home and landscape. Water features are a great addition to the backyard landscape; relax and unwind in your wonderful outdoor living retreat.
Natural stone is a great selection for many landscapes. Our natural stone crew specializes in the meticulous construction of natural hardscaping products. Natural materials are unique and no two pieces are exactly alike. The color, shape, size and textures of the products vary. Our skilled team of stone specialists creates one-of-a-kind outdoor rooms and landscapes featuring bluestone, limestone, boulders, outcropping stone, flagstone, cut drywall, and other natural stone materials.
Natural stone products are a unique way to turn any space into an incredible outdoor living area. Stone construction gives any landscape a luxurious and distinctive look. Natural stone differs from brick pavers in a sense that brick pavers are a manufactured concrete material. Stone is a natural and more complex product and installation.
Use flagstone for patios and walkways or for steppers throughout the garden. Flagstone is available in an irregular stone or in cut pieces for a more formal patterned or contemporary look. Use different types of stones for many landscaping and gardening applications.
Cut drywall is used for a dry-stacked stone wall or mortared for a sophisticated facade. Cut drywall stone is excellent for freestanding garden walls or retaining walls, also making stunning outdoor kitchens and outdoor fireplaces.
Boulders and outcropping stones range in size from smaller to very large stones; we use these stones for ponds and waterfalls, retaining walls and garden accents. We create beautiful outcropping benches for a unique garden vignette seating area, a truly unique garden accent feature.

In addition to our award-winning technique and impeccable retaining wall design and construction, we use concrete retaining wall blocks and natural stone to build stoops, garden walls, seat walls, and decorative columns to complement your retaining wall or brick paver design.
If you are looking for an environmentally friendly approach, try a new vegetation wall! This system is highly effective for any retaining wall application, large or small. It is the only permanent eco-friendly solution for controlling erosion and retaining soil. The sustainable soil bags are interlocking and a truly exceptional system for retaining. Plant the face of the wall with a combination of shrubs, perennials and groundcovers or hydroseed for a “green” retaining wall.
