Premier Landscape Design in Chicago, IL

A design typically takes around 1.5 months to complete, depending on the complexity of your project. Within the first 3-4 weeks, you will receive your first draft, allowing you to review and provide feedback. During this time, we remain in close communication to address any questions you may have and to provide a relative price range for the scope of work before the design is finalized. This ensures that your vision aligns with your budget and expectations right from the start.

At the beginning of the process, we ask for your all-in budget for the project. This allows us to tailor your design with that number in mind, ensuring that the project remains within your financial expectations. However, certain variables—such as the choice of materials, plant size, and additional features—can influence the final cost. We work closely with you throughout the design phase to adjust elements as needed, providing you with options that can help manage costs while still achieving your desired outcome.

During the onboarding process, you will complete a “Design Assessment” that helps identify your personal style preferences. This assessment guides our design process, whether you prefer a traditional, modern, or eclectic landscape.
