In the foreground, a lovely Lunaform container, 'Twist and Shout' hydrangea and boxwood 'Winter Gem' stand pretty against a background of De Groots Spire Arborvitae and rhododendron PJM.

This is an example of a landscaping in Chicago.

In the foreground, a large dining area for the new outdoor table. The raised patio will be home to a new fire pit and seating area. Newly planted plants will grow in to fill the entire planter bed in a matter of years. Thuja Plicata are planted as a screen to replace the stumps of fallen hemlocks. A beautiful Japanese Maple, originally planted too close to the house, has been transplanted to break up the linear screening plants.

Here there is a step down via limestone steps into a sunken garden beside the pool and an outdoor seating area with a fire pit as its focal point. The fire pit is CorTen steel. That seating area is flanked with oak leaf hydrangeas, arborvitae, and autumn fern, another Japanese maple that was relocated into a large steel CorTen, a steel planter Carlton Edwards designed. Along the northern property line in front of an existing fence, European Columnar Hornbeams were placed to provide a vertical hedge and to offer privacy from the adjoining neighbor and second-story addition on the rear of that home. There's also a cedar boardwalk that connects the central lawn area to a sunroom on the side of the house. The Hornbeams are underplanted with Big Blue Liriope. This design maximized the potential for the whole property.
