## Selected projects

- ["Special Summer Delivery! A Contemporary Backyard Retreat"](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/special-summer-delivery-a-contemporary-backyard-retreat-pj-vj~2563167)
  - Location: Byron, IL
  - Photos: 16
  - Description: It was out with the old and in with the new for this homeowner. The family wanted to add more character to their ranch home in a small town outside of Rockford. When it came to entertaining guests and family, their original wooden deck just didn’t cut it. The homeowners wanted an open space that would flow nicely, providing multiple areas for entertaining: a patio, seat walls, fire pit, and a pergola. They desired a backyard retreat that was spacious enough for a comfortable, yet cozy, setting.…
- [“Cozy Hideaway”](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cozy-hideaway-pj-vj~2263718)
  - Location: Rockford, IL
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: From the get-go, our designer connected with this husband and wife duo with a great sense of humor. Their outdoor space, however, was no laughing matter. From the deteriorating wooden stairs, (that the owner broke her ankle on!) to the crumbling concrete patio, they knew it was time to bite the bullet and upgrade. The initial objective was to create just a functional space, but it eventually morphed into a perfect backyard retreat. The beautiful rustic feel of Belgard’s Mega Libre pavers, Weston…
- ["A Blessed Sanctuary"](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-blessed-sanctuary-pj-vj~2263572)
  - Location: Rockford, IL
  - Photos: 17
  - Description: According to The Rosary Foundation; “Rosary Gardens create a peaceful environment ideal for meditation or quiet reflection. They are also designed to honor Mary, the Blessed Mother of Jesus. Every element of a Rosary Garden comes together to make a spiritual retreat for parishioners.” After visiting Rosary gardens in the surrounding area, the leaders at St. Rita Catholic Church knew it was time for a beautiful and sacred sanctuary of their own. Church leaders had many goals in mind: handicap acc…
- [“Country Getaway”](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-getaway-pj-vj~2263719)
  - Location: Argyle, IL
  - Photos: 13
  - Description: The owners of this property started with a failing wooden retaining wall and an outdated concrete patio. The homeowners craved a new outdoor family space that would cure their perpetual cabin fever. The current area was uninspiring and just not functional. Our team had their work cut out for them, but they started at the top, and worked their way down. The project began with the renovation of the upper patio located outside the owner’s workshop, followed by the transformation of the old patio ou…
- ["Entertainment Oasis"](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/entertainment-oasis-pj-vj~2263501)
  - Location: Rockford, IL
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: When the homeowners of this picturesque log cabin came to us, they felt uninspired with their simple square patio. Raising two active daughters and having many friends and family, they wanted a true extension of their home. Ultimately, the homeowners sought an outdoor space that could be enjoyed day and night, whether it was a quiet family evening or a party of 10. We immediately felt inspired and took to the drawing board! With the homeowners' aspirations in the hands of our designers, we devel…
- [“S’more Space”](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/smore-space-pj-vj~2263518)
  - Location: Belvidere, IL
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: In this case, the homeowner knew exactly what he wanted. He already had a beautiful second story deck and lower level patio for entertaining, but he knew he needed something more. His family desired an addition that would bring them together, keep them warm, and help them satisfy their summer evening sweet tooth. What does all those things and adds a welcoming aesthetic? A fireplace of course! Due to the proximity to the home, our team could not install a fireplace to the existing patio. So, we…
- [“Small Town Retreat”](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/small-town-retreat-pj-vj~2264110)
  - Location: West Brooklyn, IL
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: When owner of this home contacted us, she was ready to have a space for entertaining and enjoying the outdoors. We did work at the home previously, but the sloping yard and mundane landscape weren’t exactly meeting expectations. So, our designers created a layout that would provide not only functionality, but also dimension to the surrounding landscape. We installed a raised patio with seat wall, a ramped entrance for ease of travel, and a variety of landscape plantings to soften and beautify th…

- [“Nature Painted Memories”](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nature-painted-memories-pj-vj~2264197)
  - Location: Loves Park, IL
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: What started as a simple landscape renovation, transformed into multi-phased garden spanning the entire property. We first met this homeowner in 2012. As with most clients we run into, the desire for a low-maintenance landscape is prevalent. However, that was definitely not the case here. The owner’s wife was an avid gardener. When not tending to patients in the ER, she spent her spare time surrounded by the soothing space of her natural refuge. She wanted a new landscape that would be soft and…
- [“A Little More Legroom”](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-little-more-legroom-pj-vj~2263722)
  - Location: Rockford, IL
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: Fully utilizing a sloped back yard is no easy task. That’s an issue many homeowners, including this family, have run into. Their existing lower level patio was just not enough space for entertaining guests or enjoying the view of the back yard. Our designers took an abstract approach to the project, creating a raised patio to address the slope and space issue. Belgard’s Hollandstone pavers and Weston wall stone for the retaining walls and seat walls provided the chic and clean appeal. The two op…
- [“Time to Remaster a Disaster”](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/time-to-remaster-a-disaster-pj-vj~2264133)
  - Location: Rockford, IL
  - Photos: 3
  - Description: When our designer first met with this homeowner, she was only interested in updating the landscaping around her home. While performing the walkthrough on the property, the two came upon the crumbling concrete stoop. The owner expressed her disappointment, as this was the third time she had replaced the stoop and it still wasn’t holding up. Our designer took to the drawing board, and suggested a custom-built retaining wall and paver stoop. Not only would the new design provide more durability, it…
- [Seasonal Decor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seasonal-decor-pj-vj~2243327)
  - Location: Not specified
