Our Services
Seven things we do better than anyone else in Chicagoland.
For more than 30 years, our family has built patios, walls, and yards all across Chicagoland. We started in 1996, and we still answer the phone ourselves.
Every job is done by people who care how it looks ten years from now. From a small front walkway to a full backyard rebuild, we treat your home like it was our own.
Brick pavers that last decades.
We build patios, driveways, walkways, and pool decks the right way. The base is the most important part, and we take the time to do it right so your pavers stay flat through every Illinois winter.
Freeze and thaw is hard on hardscape. Our pavers are set on a deep, compacted base so they hold up year after year, and we hand-pick patterns and colors that match your home.
What we do
- Paver patios
- Driveways
- Walkways
- Pool decks
- Repair and re-leveling
- Custom borders
- Color matching
Stone walls built to stand the test of time.
Retaining walls, seating walls, and garden borders. We work with natural stone and engineered block, and we engineer every wall for the slope, the soil, and the freeze-thaw cycles we get here in Chicagoland.
A wall that leans or buckles after a few winters is a wall built too fast. Ours are built right the first time, with proper drainage and the right base.
What we do
- Retaining walls
- Seating walls
- Garden borders
- Stone veneer
- Pool surrounds
- Boulder placement
Fire pits and cozy backyards for three seasons.
A good fire pit changes how often you actually use your backyard. Spring nights, summer cookouts, fall sweater weather. We build wood, gas, and modern glass-bed setups, and we tie them into seating walls and lighting so the whole area works as one.
We also build pavilions, pergolas, and full outdoor living areas, all sized to fit your yard and your family.
What we do
- Wood-burning fire pits
- Gas fire pits
- Glass-bed fire features
- Built-in seating walls
- Outdoor lighting
- Pavilions and pergolas
Landscape design that gets better every year.
A real plan saves you money. We design full yards that look great on day one and grow into something even better. Plants are picked for what actually thrives in Illinois, not what looks pretty on a tag in a big box store.
Front yard, backyard, or both. We can show you a 3D plan if you want to see it before we build it.
What we do
- Full yard design
- Front yard makeovers
- Backyard planning
- Plants picked for Illinois
- Hardscape integration
- 3D plans on request
Walkways and steps that feel welcoming.
Flagstone, brick, and bluestone. The right path makes your front door feel like a welcome mat and keeps your footing safe through every Chicagoland season, including the icy ones.
We build entry steps, garden paths, and side yard walkways, and we add path lighting if you want your home to glow after sunset.
What we do
- Flagstone walkways
- Brick paver paths
- Bluestone steps
- Front entry steps
- Garden paths
- Path lighting
Gardens that thrive in Illinois soil.
Plantings, mulching, and fresh garden beds. We pick plants that actually grow well here, not just what looks good in the catalog. Foundation plantings, color rotations, and full bed installs are all part of what we do.
Good soil is the start of every healthy garden. We amend, we mulch, and we plant so your beds look good in May and still look good in October.
What we do
- Foundation plantings
- Garden bed installation
- Fresh mulching
- Tree and shrub planting
- Seasonal color rotation
- Soil amendment
Drainage that finally works.
A wet yard is a real problem. Chicagoland clay soil holds water, and the freeze-thaw cycles only make it worse. Standing water kills your grass, rots your plants, and can even hurt your foundation. We fix it.
We start by finding where the water is really coming from. Then we route it the right way, away from your home and your yard. Every drain we build sits on a real gravel base so it keeps working for years. No more guessing.
What we do
- French drains
- Yard regrading
- Sump pump discharge lines
- Downspout extensions
- Catch basins
- Drywells
- Standing water solutions
