Chicago Green Design Inc.
Landscape Gardeners in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 October 2012
“Chicago Green Design did the landscape at my house. The work was amazing! It blended perfectly in with the look and design of my house. It didn't look like one of those standard landscape jobs. People are constantly complementing my landscape. They take the ideas you have and are able to make them a reality! I highly recommend Chicago Green Design!”

“As Owner of a design/build firm specializing in residential and commercial renovation that has been in business for 30 years I highly recommend Ruby Barnes as a top quality landscape designer and installer. I worked with Ms Barnes from the start of her career and have always been impressed by her knowledge and skills. Her scale drawings are accurate and her designs are functional, out-of-the-ordinary beautiful as well as sustainable. I am always happy to recommend her to my clients.”

“It is always a great pleasure working with CB Conlin. They are truly a top-notch company! We always look forward to being on site with them. From talented designers to highly skilled employees their projects are always one of a kind.”
Poul's Landscaping & Nursery, Inc.
Landscape Gardeners in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 May 2016
“I highly recommend this company! Poul's has done all of our landscaping design and installation since our house was built. We have used their services several times during our phased-in landscaping approach. Their very talented landscape architects' designs are beautiful and they take the time to meet with you to determine the best plan for your specific area, tastes, lifestyle and budget. I really like the fact that they have their own nursery and you can walk their property with a professional to pick out just the right tree or shrub if you want. The trees they planted for us several years ago were amazing and continue to thrive providing us with beautiful shade in just the right spot. Most recently, we've cleared out a brush line and Poul's designed and installed new flowering bushes and perennials which have completely changed the look of our back yard.”
Grant and Power Landscaping
Landscape Gardeners in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 September 2012
“My patio, complete with fire ring, walkways around the house and to the front door are beautiful. However, the pond with fountain and landscaping is my prize completely designed and installed by Grant and Power.”
Exterra Designs, Inc
Landscape Gardeners in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 February 2013
“We have had Exterra do two projects for our home. First was landscaping the front and side of the house. This involved stone work, plantings and a pergola. We were thrilled with beautiful design and the craftsmanship of installation. The plantings have thrived and after 10 years all the work remains intact. Two years ago, we came back to Pete to have a patio put on the back of the house. This was all brick work and Pete's design was great and worked perfect with what was existing. We had some settling on the patio and Exterra was out immediately to fix it and it is great. We love the work Pete has done with design and the guys doing the install were wonderful. We whole heartedly recommend Exterra designs.”
Rooftopia, LLC
Landscape Gardeners in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 May 2013
“Rooftopia has been exceptional to work with. We live in an apt. duplex with limited space available for them to work with but they were able to create a beautiful landscape. Although we were on a tight budget, they were able to offer us so many options. Everything was completely professional. The proposal was clear and included photo images so we could visualize the layout and end product. They were in constant communication during the entire process too. They are the best in Chicago and so grateful we found them!”
Western DuPage Landscaping, Inc.
Landscape Gardeners in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 March 2014
“We had recently added a sunroom and needed some landscaping done in our backyard around the new room. We also decided to put in a patio adjacent to the sunroom. We have a slanted backyard, so we really needed advice on how to accomplish this. In addition, we needed a landscaper to work with us as the contractor finished our deck so everything would flow together. We had an idea of what we wanted, but were really looking for advice and recommendations. We talked to three different landscapers and decided to go with Western DuPage Landscaping. The designer, Nicole, had some great suggestions for our project and worked within the budget we gave her. She patiently explained the difference in pricing between the various pavers available and also recommended plants and shrubs that would grow in our very shaded backyard. Our project came in on budget and in the time frame given. We are very happy with the work done and would not hesitate to return to WDL for future work.”
Apple Landscaping
Landscape Gardeners in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 June 2017
“Needing an architectural drawing for a design that fit our unique back yard area and then a quality company to complete the work, I received a glowing reference to consider Apple Landscaping for our Patio options. Once we met with them and then reviewed what they could build, it was an easy decision. More importantly, the quality of work and materials used, the ease of making choices to add or delete certain features created a highly collaborative team to ensure that the project went smoothly and as expected and our final product was as we envisioned. Keith and Monique are total professionals and were there consistently to ensure timelines were met and I, the customer was satisfied. I have recommended Apple to everyone I know who is considering any Hardscape work. This is one HIGH quality company and they are totally Customer focused. I couldn't be happier.”

If you haven’t dabbled with the garden trowel before or you know your garden design vision is beyond your gardening skills, then it’s time to call in the Chicago, IL garden landscapers. Landscape gardeners in Chicago, IL will be able to bring your outside space to life with flowers, plants, trees, shrubbery, lawns and all sorts of verdant, floral features.

Why should I hire a landscape gardener in Chicago, IL?


Even if you do have a few green fingers yourself, garden landscapers in Chicago, IL will have the experience and training to carry out larger landscaping projects and will have the eye for what works best where and when in your garden. They may work with a landscape designer or architect who will put together the plans that they then execute, or they may do this work themselves. If you’re looking for a Chicago, IL landscape architect, or perhaps you want to select your own garden supplies yourself, then you can find the right professionals for this on Houzz, too. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape contractors: Landscape Architects & Garden Designers, Garden & Landscape Supplies, Stone, Paving & Concrete, Tree Services.

What’s the difference between gardeners and landscapers?


The term landscapers is often interchangeable with gardeners, but landscape gardeners (as they’re also known) are sometimes a bit different from regular gardeners. Usually, landscapers can change the layout and structure of gardens, working with water features, paving, decking and other more substantial parts of gardens. A basic gardener, on the other hand, will deal only with lawns, plants, trees and flowers. However, you will often find gardeners in Chicago, IL that offer both gardening and landscaping together and can source all kinds of landscaping and garden supplies for you.

Will I need to have a regular gardener?


Once the plants have been chosen, planted or potted, and the lawn or patio laid, then your garden will be ready to enjoy, but never completely finished. Like all living things, your garden will grow and change with time and the seasons, so it will need a bit of TLC and garden maintenance from time to time. This is when you may want to hire Chicago, IL gardeners again, especially if you have a very large garden or landscaped area that needs constant upkeep. Hire Chicago, IL gardeners to water, weed and prune your plants, keep the lawn trim and green, and cut back any overgrowing trees. Some 60647 gardeners may source their own garden supplies, while with others you may have to do this yourself.

Questions to ask a landscape gardener:


  • How long have you been in the gardening business?
  • Do you design gardens or just carry out the gardening/landscaping work?
  • Have you worked on similar garden projects to mine before?
  • Who will work on the project? Do you subcontract any work to other gardeners?
  • Will you offer advice on what plants will work best with my outdoor space, design and the current season?
  • Will you provide the garden supplies or should I choose these myself?
  • How long will it take you to complete this project?
  • What are your landscaping costs?
  • Can you provide a written estimate?
  • Do you offer garden maintenance work? What are your daily or hourly rates as a regular gardener?
