What Our Clients Say
Throwback to this gorgeous transformation! 🌳 An urban homeowner wanted to transform their perpetually muddy, sloped backyard and cramped front lawn into beautiful, functional spaces. In exchange, a native garden was added to the front yard sustainability, low maintenance and year-round interest. Behind the house, we installed a beautiful bluestone patio to make this space functional and largely maintenance-free.
It’s never too early to start planning your own outdoor paradise.

🌍💚 Climate change is no longer a distant issue – it`s here. At Greenwise, we’re taking action with electric landscape maintenance. ⚡🌱
What started in 2020 with just one crew has grown to 10 electric crews serving 700+ clients! 🚜🔋 We’re working towards offering fully electric services to all our clients.
Our low-noise, emission-free service is a hit with those working from home, creating a peaceful and eco-friendly environment. 🌿

🐝🌸 Insect populations are in rapid decline, and the Monarch butterfly is one of the hardest-hit species. The eastern Monarch population has plummeted from 300 million to less than 1 million! 😢
But here`s the good news: we can make a difference right in our own backyards! 🏡
Creating habitats with native plants, especially milkweed, can provide essential support for Monarchs and countless other insects. 🌿 By planting a patch of milkweed or adding diverse local plants, we’re helping create safe havens for pollinators and promoting biodiversity. 🌻
Each of us has the power to turn our backyards into thriving ecosystems. It`s about identifying opportunities and taking action to preserve our unique local species. Let`s join together and be part of the solution! 💪💚 #SaveTheMonarchs #InsectConservation #NativePlants #BackyardHabitat #BiodiversityMatters #chicagohome #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #hinsdaleillinois #milwaukeehome #gardening #SustainableLandscaping
We often hear about sustainability, but what does it actually mean for your landscaping?
🌿 Simply put, it`s about designing outdoor spaces that support long-term environmental health while minimizing resource use and impact. Let’s create spaces that are good for the planet and beautiful too! 🌍💚 #SustainableLandscaping #EcoFriendly #GreenSpaces #milwaukeehome #chicagohome #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #gardening #hinsdaleillinois

Our team had a great time volunteering @bundledblessingsdiaperbank in Evanston this week! We helped sort and pack diapers into bundles that will go to families in need through local partner agencies. 🙌 Bundled Blessings is an incredible organization that distributes over 47,000 diapers each month, all thanks to the amazing support of donors and volunteers. 🍼💚

Winter Plant Care Tips ❄️🌿
When snow is on the ground, don’t forget to give your landscape some extra love:
✨ Remove snow around plants to prevent damage from weight and ice.
✨ Brush off heavy snow from delicate branches to avoid breakage. Use something soft like a broom and always brush downwards.
✨ Cover sensitive plants with frost cloth or similar coverings to shield them from extreme cold.
Protect your plants and keep your winter landscape thriving! 🌨️🌱 #WinterCare #SnowTips #PlantCare #landscapedesign #hinsdaleillinois #chicagohome #milwaukeehome #WinterLandscape
Dormant pruning in the winter is crucial! It helps preserve the structural integrity of your plants, promotes their overall health, and provides long-term benefits!
Pruning trees and shrubs during the growing season is essential, not only for maintaining their appearance but also to prevent overcrowding in the landscape. However, dormant pruning in the winter is just as crucial. It helps with stronger growth, disease prevention, and improved resilience. It is also the safest time of year for more drastic reductions or rejuvenation prunes which would happen towards the end of the winter, right before trees and shrubs prepare to come out of dormancy.
