My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

About Us

3x Best of Houzz winner
Locally owned
Woman owned
Greater Chicago's Thoughtful Landscape Architecture & Design Firm
We at Artistry Landscape Design, believe that everything in Nature is connected. If we upset the balance there will be consequences. Most often these consequences create more labor and expense for the gardener. Creating a garden that is sustainable and functioning year after year is important to each of us and the world around us. We use native plants most often because they are the best way to feed the birds and beneficial insects to keep the garden healthy and thriving. It is our goal to create gardens that please the eye as well as the pocket book and establish a sanctuary to be enjoyed all year round.

We had a wonderful experience working with Ruby Barnes at Artistry Landscape Design. Attentive Listening: Ruby was incredibly responsive to our request for sustainable ground cover. She truly heard our vision and translated it into a viable plan. Creative Solutions: She suggested a beautiful mix of hardy perennials, including flowering Bugleweed (Ajuga) and Lily of the Valley. To enhance what was already working, she added boxwoods that perfectly restored the symmetry of our garden. Fair & Reasonable: The design was thoughtful, and the pricing was very fair for the high quality of work provided. The Result: We are thrilled with our new front yard and highly recommend Ruby’s services!

Ruby was incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand our vision for our front garden and translated it into a beautifully designed space. Her expertise in selecting low-maintenance plants was evident, and she worked within our budget constraints without compromising quality. I'm very impressed and would definitely use their services again.

I discovered Ruby on the Houzz site and recognized her eye for color and masterful plant arrangements. Upon calling her, Ruby promptly came to our home to survey the area we had in mind to transform, had some wonderful ideas for the shady area, and created a beautiful and pragmatic design for it. We went to select some of the larger plantings together. Ruby is knowledgeable, customer-focused, a great listener, and highly dedicated to providing a superior service that will stand the test of time. Two weeks later, the perennial garden was completed and it has exceeded our expectations. We are thrilled. Ruby was great to work with, attuned to our preferences, and her eye for detail created a garden we will enjoy for years to come. A 24 x 24 foot area in the back corner of our back yard (where an old tree had to be cut down) has become a beautiful, lush garden and focal point. I look forward each night to see it again in the morning.

Ruby Barnes brings a truly artistic and unique eye to landscape design. We have been working together for years, and my garden is an ever evolving delight! We review and modify it over the years so it is always looking great as things grow and mature, and Ruby anticipates well the growth and changes it will undergo with the seasons.

When we moved to our house, there was so much lawn! Ruby suggested we create a path to break it up. She designed a wonderful path and a couple of weeks later, it was complete. It's now the focal point of our front yard, and we get lots of compliments. Ruby also helped us organize and plant some of our flower beds. She is a calm presence to work with.

Ruby always responded quicky to texts or calls, she listened to what we wanted and designed our front garden beautifully based on that, and did a great job getting all the plants in that would work best for the low maintenance garden we requested. She knows so much! She also respected our budget limit. Ruby is a fabulous landscaper, gardener.

After some home interior projects we were finally ready to create a back yard for our kids and new puppy to enjoy. Artistry Landscape came up with a scale drawing and a back yard makeover to suit our family's needs including a vegetable bed, a shaded sitting area and a new patio of brick pavers. Ruby's dedication to the details of our needs was commendable.

We have a large corner property that needed much improvement and a knowledgeable maintenance plan. Ruby came up with designs and hardscape plans that fit with our budget, our dog's needs and our vision of a haven for wildlife. All that as well as beautiful garden art! She worked very closely with me trying to understand my quirky nature and taste, and especially my need to not infringe on the life of yard critters.She planted trees, shade loving flowers and grasses and shrubs with berries for birds. I feel so fortunate to have found Ruby.

As Owner of a design/build firm specializing in residential and commercial renovation that has been in business for 30 years I highly recommend Ruby Barnes as a top quality landscape designer and installer. I worked with Ms Barnes from the start of her career and have always been impressed by her knowledge and skills. Her scale drawings are accurate and her designs are functional, out-of-the-ordinary beautiful as well as sustainable. I am always happy to recommend her to my clients.
