Featured Reviews for Deerfield, IL Landscape Architects and Designers

Craig Bergmann Landscape Design
Deerfield, IL Landscape Architects and Designers
Feb 15, 2016
“I can't say enough about the quality of service, design and plant material provided to me by Craig Bergman Landscape Design Co. Julie Sajtar, my design coordinator, was a great listener, was able to work with my schedule and my budget, neither of which was easy! The level of detail was admirable! The contractors that implemented the drainage, hardscape, sprinkler system, fencing and plant plans were polite and conscientious, and best of all, were attentive to my dogs in the kennels, we had no issues with dogs escaping! I can't wait for Spring!”
Krogstad Land Design Limited
Deerfield, IL Landscape Architects and Designers
Oct 11, 2019
“I have really enjoyed working with Karl! He did a comprehensive patio and landscaping design for our backyard. His designs included a 600 s.f. paver patio with seating walls, a pergola, dry creek beds, and an enclosed sun porch. Karl was also able to address several major drainage issues in our yard in his design. He was very patient with us throughout the design process, as we took quite a while to mull over decisions and had several revision requests. Once we started phase 1 of construction, he was on site to make sure all went as planned. He was responsive and communicative throughout the process. We have recently completed the patio, and the pergola and creek beds are currently under construction. We'll be tackling the landscaping and porch in phase 2. I am happy to have his guidance as we navigate this huge undertaking and will definitely be using him for more projects in the future!”

“Front entry walkway with bluestone and redesign of landscaping. Very professional, great original design ideas incorporating existing plants with new planting s, fabulous workmanship, quality plant products, would use them again!”
Apex Landscaping, Inc.
Deerfield, IL Landscape Architects and Designers
Mar 27, 2018
“Apex was hired after competitive bids and reference checks to design and install 10 corners and two large planting beds in our Townhouse complex. The Designer and Project Manager was Mike Burkland. Apex collaborated with our Landscape Committee to produce a design that more than satisfied our requirements. Mike stayed on top of every aspect of the implementation, assuring that staff, plants, sod, outcropping stone etc. were first rate. His crew was terrific and he deserves special recognition for his follow thru. If all contractors performed like Mike and Apex, our Association would be a dream to manage.”
The Barn Nursery Landscape Design & Architecture
Deerfield, IL Landscape Architects and Designers
Nov 15, 2013
“From our first meeting with Tom Kusmerz, The Barn Nursery, we were sold on working with that company and looked no further. Through conversation and walking around on our property, Tom was able to create a hardscape design concept that we just loved. Our retaining wall was failing and we needed to redesign the whole thing. With his help we chose natural stone that blended well with our existing house brick and pool decking and gave us both the color and natural look we were after. Tom worked with our pool and concrete contractors so everything on our project was done in the right order and no one had to wait on someone else. With Tom's design on our retaining wall and how the base materials were installed, we were able to reduce the costs of our concrete decking repair by half of the original bid and we have a beautiful, natural looking retaining wall that will last forever. The crews working on our project from The Barn Nursery were great. I looked forward to their arrival every morning. They were neat, efficient, friendly and very hard working. I could tell that they really took pride in their workmanship and the job came out beautifully. My family and I look forward to their return in the spring to help us with our plantings. It was a truly great experience working with this company and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.”
Blanford Design
Deerfield, IL Landscape Architects and Designers
Oct 7, 2012
“Wow, is all I can say about Gary's work and flair for landscape and outdoor living area design. I have worked with a number of landscape designa nd installation firms in the past, but none of them has come even close to the caliber of work and design that Gary at Blanford Design is capable of. Not even close. The sheer difference in architectural design quality sets Gary far apart from the rest of the pack. If you require elegant and well thought out design and installation services, give Gary a call - no doubt you will be as amazed as I am!”
Poul's Landscaping & Nursery, Inc.
Deerfield, IL Landscape Architects and Designers
May 17, 2016
“I highly recommend this company! Poul's has done all of our landscaping design and installation since our house was built. We have used their services several times during our phased-in landscaping approach. Their very talented landscape architects' designs are beautiful and they take the time to meet with you to determine the best plan for your specific area, tastes, lifestyle and budget. I really like the fact that they have their own nursery and you can walk their property with a professional to pick out just the right tree or shrub if you want. The trees they planted for us several years ago were amazing and continue to thrive providing us with beautiful shade in just the right spot. Most recently, we've cleared out a brush line and Poul's designed and installed new flowering bushes and perennials which have completely changed the look of our back yard.”
Apple Landscaping
Deerfield, IL Landscape Architects and Designers
Jun 14, 2017
“Needing an architectural drawing for a design that fit our unique back yard area and then a quality company to complete the work, I received a glowing reference to consider Apple Landscaping for our Patio options. Once we met with them and then reviewed what they could build, it was an easy decision. More importantly, the quality of work and materials used, the ease of making choices to add or delete certain features created a highly collaborative team to ensure that the project went smoothly and as expected and our final product was as we envisioned. Keith and Monique are total professionals and were there consistently to ensure timelines were met and I, the customer was satisfied. I have recommended Apple to everyone I know who is considering any Hardscape work. This is one HIGH quality company and they are totally Customer focused. I couldn't be happier.”

NLH Landscape Architects

Feb 3, 2014
“I have had the pleasure of working with Nancy and NLH since 1997. I work with Nancy as an independent hardscape contractor. Nancy's attention to detail is second to none. She routinely produces fantastic designs and coordinates their installation beyond the expectations of her clients. Nancy puts her clients and their budgets first. Her knowledge of materials and installation techniques sets her apart from many lesser Landscape Architect's. I would recommend Nancy to my closest of friends and family!

What does a landscape architect do?


The work of this outdoor professional includes most everything surrounding a home's exterior. A landscaping architect can even work with the home architect to choose the right spot for your Deerfield, IL house. From there the Deerfield landscaper will develop preliminary concepts for your front or backyard design based on individual needs including the climate and activities that will take place, as well as layouts and planting plans. Landscape architects will also design any structures or outbuildings that will be added to the space. Any grading changes that will be added to the yard are also the responsibility of the architect. This includes any drainage modifications. An engineer can also be responsible for these tasks, but licensed Illinois landscapers are fully capable. Like building architects, they will produce preliminary concept drawings as well as detailed construction documents and planting plans. Three-dimensional renderings and illustrative plans are all supplementary.

What does a landscape designer do?


A Deerfield landscaping designer generally will have ecological, aesthetic and technical training, which helps them maximize the potential of your outdoor space. Keeping in mind both style and functionality, garden designers analyze your architecture and yard to produce a plan that may or may not include location and materials for walkways, patios, water features, fences, garden aspects and more. In addition, a landscaper in Deerfield, IL will carefully assess your geographic region to choose plants, trees and flowers that will flourish naturally, as well as address concerns such as drainage, screening and soil conditions. Certain landscape designers only help with the planning portion, while some may deliver the plans and then oversee a hired landscaping contractor. Others — typically following a design-build approach — take care of both the design and all aspects of the landscape architecture and construction.

Before you hire an Illinois professional landscaper, consider the scope and emphasis of your outdoor project. Landscape architects, who typically hold advanced degrees in their field, are trained to develop comprehensive structural plans that include plants, hardscaping, water use, drainage and more. Landscape designers typically specialize in the aesthetic and horticultural, rather than structural, side of yard and garden planning. They might or might not have advanced training. Even within their fields, a garden designer may specialize in hardscape- or vegetation-focused designs. In some cases you might need to hire additional help to get the outdoor space you want. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape architects & landscape designers: Landscape Contractors, Garden & Landscape Supplies, Tree Services, Gardeners, Lawn Care & Sprinklers, Decks, Patios & Outdoor Enclosures.

Questions to ask prospective landscapers in Deerfield, IL:


  • Can you provide me with references?
  • How long have you been in the landscaping business?
  • What is your certification?
  • Do you have liability insurance?
  • How much do you charge, and what does that include?
  • What regions and climates are you skilled in?
  • Can you accommodate my special requests (such as ADA or LEED)?
  • What types of renderings will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When can you complete this project?
  • What do your services include?
  • Who will be working on the project design?
  • What happens when costs exceed budget, whether due to materials or labor pricing changes? What about changes made by the client or by the professionals — what kinds of situations would cause those costs to be incurred?
  • Can you provide me with a written estimate?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns that you know of or that might come up in the future with this project?
