His guys did a great job of planting a variety of plants and bushes. I have gotten many compliments from my neighbors. I highly recommend Joe and his crew. **★★★★★ — HU-748926115, July 2020** > Joe Runde is extremely passionate about his profession!! It’s fun to listen to him talk about plants and flowers, such love! He listened to what our vision for our property was and nailed it!! Thank you Joe!! **★★★★★ — Heather Pajak, March 2020** > Joe Runde is an expert at what he does. He did all the landscaping for our brand new home. He recommended different plants that would look great since we had no clue what to choose. It looked beautiful. Highly recommend him for your landscaping. **★★★★★ — HU-4509864973, June 2018** > We are very pleased with the work of Runde Landscape! We are happy to refer Joe and his team! He was able to completely re-design our front yard last year and we brought him back again this year for fall cleanups and intend to use him in the future. **★★★★★ — Hal Theis, Oct. 2016** > Runde's landscaping recently designed and installed a patio at my new residence. Thoroughness of the plan, attention to every detail, and experienced competent installers resulted in a beautiful final product. Included in the project was a cedar pergola and a seat wall. Holland stone premier pavers were used for the main surface area while estate stone was used for the wall. I love the quality of the structure and the workmanship that produced it. If I have additional need for high quality landscaping work, Runde's will get my business. **★★★★★ — lizcar2, Sept. 2015** > Just started working with Joe but we loved his design so we went with him. He's very passionate about his work. He picked out beautiful plantings and his design had so much movement to it. His pricing was very reasonable and he's been very helpful in the whole process in getting this started. Our work starts at the end of September and I'll be back for the final review but so far Joe's been great and very helpful! ## Selected projects - [Stone and Brick Steps/Stoops](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stone-and-brick-steps-stoops-pj-vj~874196) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Driveways](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/driveways-pj-vj~6496702) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Pergolas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pergolas-pj-vj~7157060) - Location: Elgin, IL - Photos: 6 - [UNILOCK UCara - St Charles, IL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unilock-ucara-st-charles-il-pj-vj~7157056) - Location: Campton Hills, IL - Photos: 4 - [UNILOCK UCara - Elgin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unilock-ucara-elgin-pj-vj~7157036) - Location: Elgin, IL - Photos: 6 - [Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lighting-pj-vj~7157028) - Location: St. Charles, IL - Photos: 3 - [Prairie](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prairie-pj-vj~6496765) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Fire Pits](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fire-pits-pj-vj~6496736) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Putting Green](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/putting-green-pj-vj~6496723) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Glencoe Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glencoe-project-pj-vj~6496666) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gardens-pj-vj~5589444) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Pools](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pools-pj-vj~5589431) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Back Yards](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/back-yards-pj-vj~2969715) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Unilock Best Front Entrance 2016](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unilock-best-front-entrance-2016-pj-vj~2969676) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Garden Paths](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garden-paths-pj-vj~431110) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Outdoors Grills](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoors-grills-pj-vj~873859) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Wooden Garden Structures](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wooden-garden-structures-pj-vj~431108) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Patios](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/patios-pj-vj~431114) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Waterfeatures](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterfeatures-pj-vj~431069) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Front Walks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-walks-pj-vj~431004) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 31 [See all 20 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architects-and-landscape-designers/runde-s-landscape-contractors-inc-pfvwus-pf~125847776) ## Ideabooks - [rundesland's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/103679797/list/rundesland-s-ideas) — 5 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/rundesland) ## Community Q&A **Q: what small pebbles are in the backyard with the 2 chairs?** *(in Photo Questions)* I love those small, beige, mixed pebbles.
