Nestled into the Beverly section of south Chicago, this landscape maintains some traditional elements such as the white pergola which ties in nicely with the trim on the home. The plant palette is definitely period-influenced and consistent with the architecture at hand . On the other hand it also features some more contemporary elements like modular paving and a cast fire bowl with a natural gas element..

in the end, all of the elements work in tandem, establishing a landscape overview that enhances the space, complements the house, and most importantly, works for the family in residence.
