Landscaping Chicago IL | Call Murray Landscape and Design

Poor grading leads to water pooling, which damages lawns and foundations. Our landscape design process begins with a detailed site analysis. We then create a custom grading plan to direct water away from your home, often incorporating solutions like gentle slopes, swales, or strategic planting beds. This corrects the drainage issue at the root and forms the foundation for a healthy, beautiful landscape.

In Chicago, shrubs often die due to improper planting for the site's sun/shade conditions, poor soil, or incorrect spacing. Our design service goes beyond aesthetics. We assess your yard's microclimate and soil, then select the right native or adapted plant species and determine their optimal placement. This ensures your plants are set up for long-term health and reduces the need for constant replacement.

Our process is collaborative. It starts with a consultation to understand your vision and challenges. We then conduct a thorough site analysis, considering sun patterns, soil, and existing drainage. Next, we create a detailed master plan that includes layout, plant selections, and material recommendations—all tailored to solve local issues and enhance your property's value and enjoyment. We guide you from concept to a clear implementation roadmap.
