Architectural Gardens | Local Landscaping in Lake Forest, IL

We start with a thorough site analysis to identify drainage problems and soil health issues causing bare patches or water pooling. For standing water, we design custom drainage solutions, such as grading adjustments or French drains, integrated into the landscape. For bare patches, we assess soil conditions and recommend appropriate turf or ground cover selections, along with irrigation adjustments to ensure even watering. Our designs prioritize both aesthetics and functionality, turning problem areas into thriving parts of your garden.

Our process begins with a consultation to understand your vision, lifestyle, and property specifics. We then conduct a detailed site analysis, considering factors like soil, sunlight, and existing features. From there, we create custom design plans that may include layout, plant selections, hardscaping, and irrigation systems. We collaborate with you throughout, ensuring the design aligns with your goals while addressing local conditions. Once approved, we oversee installation to bring the design to life, focusing on quality and sustainability.
