Landscape Design & Installation Services
Bringing Your Landscape Vision to Life
Landscapes are a refuge away from everyday life and the busyness of the world. We take great pride in providing our clients with gardens, patios, and backyard paradises. Over the last 15 years, Greenwise has established a reputation for thoughtful, personalized landscape design throughout the Chicagoland area. Our team of talented landscape designers guides clients through the design process, taking care to incorporate their personal vision and unique needs. Greenwise’s landscape installation crew places special attention to fine details, knowing these spaces will be enjoyed for years to come.
We manage all aspects of your project, from the initial design to plant and material procurement to installation and ongoing care. From a front foundation planting, renovation of an existing landscape, or a master site plan, our team is proud to provide the highest quality landscape design and installation services in the Chicagoland and Milwaukee areas.
Landscape Design Services
The landscape design process always begins with an on-site meeting. Our landscape designer will walk your property alongside you, taking in the existing landscape and reviewing site conditions. After review, the team provides a landscape plan and proposal, incorporating your desired design elements, plant selections, and hardscape components. We also incorporate sustainable elements into the landscape plan wherever possible, including native plants, permeable hardscape options, and sustainable drainage elements.
Planting & Garden Installation
Garden design is our specialty. Our designers bring a wealth of knowledge for plant selection, which requires a wide plant palette and a thorough understanding of site and soil conditions. Whenever possible, we design with an ecologically beneficial, horticulturally-forward intent, utilizing native plants that are beautiful and adapted to our local climate. Post-installation, our expert garden maintenance teams care for your plants with the proper techniques and horticultural products, all while honoring our commitment to 100% organic materials.
Patios, Walkways, & Other Hardscapes
Whatever hardscaping element your design requires our installation crew can handle building! Our team builds patios, terraces, walkways, retaining walls, seat walls, and backyard fire pits with skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail. We install a variety of materials, including concrete pavers, clay pavers, permeable pavers, natural stone, bluestone, flagstone, and gravel.
Water Management & Drainage Solutions
Proper drainage is an important and sometimes overlooked element of well-crafted landscape designs. In managing site hydrology, our goal is to re-direct runoff away from the house while responsibly managing the water on-site. Our team designs and installs French drains, dry creek beds, rain gardens, water retention systems, and permeable paving to both mitigate and enhance the effects of water on your landscape, plants, and lawn.
