Our Story
With a degree in Horticulture and Landscape Design, Maureen Taylor has been perfecting her craft for years, earning numerous accolades, including the prestigious 2014 Driehaus Award for Best Exterior Renovation and the "Angie's List Super Service" award for five consecutive years. Her commitment to her craft has led to the creation of stunning outdoor spaces that have earned her a reputation as one of the top landscape designers in Chicago.
Our Process
Our design process begins with an on-site consultation, where we discuss your ideas, likes, and dislikes, as well as your family's needs. We'll also review your budget and discuss how we can tailor our services to meet your needs. If you have pictures of garden ideas or a copy of your Plat of Survey, it's helpful to share them with us during this stage. After the consultation, we'll provide a formal proposal outlining the scope of work, including hardscape, plants, labor, and other details. If approved, we'll schedule an installation date, typically within two weeks of acceptance. Our experienced work crews will install your hardscape and plant materials, water the plants, and clean up the area. The final payment is due upon completion of the installation.
