Culliton Quinn Landscape Architecture

We are very happy with the job that Culliton Quinn did for us. Our landscape plan was perfectly designed around our house and has brought it to the next level! We feel Culliton Quinn's landscape design is the best in the North Shore & Chicago, very forward thinking and fresh. They have been great with deadlines and so nice to work with. We highly recommend them!

We hired Culliton Quinn in 2007 to rehab the exterior of our summer home in Indiana as part of an overall renovation. Since then, we have also engaged Tony Quinn to create seasonal annual displays and a yearly maintenance and pest management program, Tony did a great job of coordinating with local and Chicago-based contractors to inspire a more competitive bidding process, while ensuring top notch craftsmanship. In coordination with the architect and the contractor, he helped place the new pool and pool house to maximize sun exposure and sight lines to Lake Michigan, while vigilantly protecting the mature oak trees on the property. He also creatively solved many problems we faced, such as flooding issues. We have enjoyed the transformation of our backyard so much that we also hired CQL to do some design work for us at our Chicago business location.

It is their extensive knowledge and out of the box thinking that creates special one of a kind designs. I have worked with many Landscape Architects and these guys are top notch. Their attention to detail is second to none. Not only do they design, they manage the installation to insure that the finished product exceeds everyones exceptions. Can't go wrong here.

I am a builder and hired Culliton and Quinn to develop plans for my Historic Landmark Boutique Hotel in Chicago. I had a budget challenged project and they not only created a plan that was amazing …..they listened carefully as to what I liked. I work with a lot of architects and designers after 30 plus years in the business…the quality of the end project and ability to work well with others put them among my top five subcontractors to work with. This was my first project with them….I would not hire anyone else after such a positive experience with their firm. Their level of industry knowledge from construction, lighting to installation make them a one stop shop. I challenged Brian and had great dialogue on why I needed to spend the money on certain elements of the design. Brian was so professional explaining different options and impact on the design. I had very distint ideas regarding my landscaping before I hired Brian…..the end result speaks for itself……I could of never imagined the plan they developed. As a industry professional I still can't believe I went with the first plan they created (with some minor revisions)! They used my time carefully and delivered the European escape in the heart of Chicago for The Wheeler Mansion. I am thrilled to be able to share their work with the public as we host celebrations this summer. Thank-you Culliton and Quinn and staff …..well done!

Culliton Quinn has a considerable amount of passion for design and an acute focus on detail, which shows up in their work. They are involved in every phase of a project, carrying their vision through its completion. The credo of this boutique firm allows its designers to go above and beyond, giving each project and client the attention it needs. I have worked with them on multiple projects and have great respect for them and their designs.

Tony Quinn, of Culliton Quinn Landscape Architecture, is a wonderful person to work with. He is responsible and responsive. His designs are original and up-to-date, and mesh well with their surroundings. He has done extensive patio plantings for us, with great success. We look forward to opening our front door and our back door, and enjoying the fruits of his labor every day.

In the summer of 2012 we purchased a home in the northern suburbs and we were so impressed by the landscape design in the front of the property that we had the sellers provide us with Culliton Quinn's information. During the summer of 2012 they created a beautiful patio, walkway, and English Garden that provided continuity of design with the front of the house. Their work is very creative and our finished project is impressive to say the least. In 2013 Brian returned and added some additional touches to our backyard. From design to completion Culliton Quinn was pleasure to work with both artistically and professionally. Their knowledge of design and plantings is extensive and we'd like to offer our strongest recommendation and will continue to use them in the future. Amazing Company!

I hired Culliton Quinn in 2010 to completely revamp the landscaping for a historic city home on 3 lots. Their creativity, attention to detail and subsequent overseeing of the project was of the highest quality. I continue to work with them as different projects/updates present themselves. Without question, an outstanding firm that I would consider one of the top, if not the top, Landscape Architecture Firms in Northern Illinois.

Culliton Quinn Landscape Architecture is the finest, most professional and creative business I have worked with. Their services from planning, design, price discovery and instillation were incredible. Upon completion, the project received national recognition and numerous awards. I would not hesitate to use their firm again.

Culliton Quinn did an outstanding job on our home landscape. We had just recently rehabbed an old home and our yard was incredibly ignored. Culliton Quinn came up with an amazing design that worked well with the aesthetics of our home. We had everything from trees and large shrubs, annuals, perennials, fences, blue stone, irrigation system and a drainage system. They explained all phases of the project and delivered on time and on budget. All the crews that came to our home were outstanding to work with and all hard workers. We receive numerous compliments from our neighbors and strangers alike. I could not speak highly enough of Culliton Quinn and would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

I moved into a new construction house in Glen Ellyn last year. The landscaping options that our builder had provided were underwhelming and lacked any sort of imagination. I contacted Culliton Quinn ("CQ") regarding an entire concept for landscaping our front/side walks and front/back yards. They provided several different ideas based on a significant amount of time at the property, measuring, talking with my builder, the village of Glen Ellyn, and conversations with my wife and I to ensure they had "all the facts" on the property. We were very happy with the detailed plans and ideas they presented. As we just moved in to a new house, our budget for the first year was limited. CQ was able to outline a long-term plan broken out in stages to fit a budget we were comfortable, without feeling like we were getting in over our head. CQ bid out all of the work and was able to get what felt like was the best price for the best work. They coordinated everything, including follow-up and ensuring the landscaping was done to my satisfaction. I will continue to use the CQ team for my upcoming projects and would rate my rate my experience to date as excellent, and would recommend them highly.

We hired Culliton Quinn Landscape to prepare a landscape plan for our summer home in Lakeside, MI. The principals have many years of experience and a strong reputation for aesthetics as well as award winning designs. Their experience includes design work for large estates on the east coast and northern suburbs of Chicago, IL as well as summer homes in IN and MI area. Our plan included softscape and hardscape design as well as water drainage solutions. CQ's plan incorporated native plants and local materials that would require little or no maintenance and could be easily sourced. They worked closely with us and our architects to make sure their plan incorporated various elements of our modern home. We had a great experience working with them. Both Tony and Brian were very detailed in their plan and took the time to explain various aspects and the need for certain structural elements . They personally oversaw the installation of our project, using reputable nurseries and service providers. Our project will need to be implemented over several years, but can easily be staged over time. We highly recommend Culliton Quinn for landscape design.
