Our landscape design service gives you everything you need to make smart decisions about your outdoor space — whether you're having us install it or managing it yourself. First, you get a detailed 2D plan drawn to scale with exact measurements, hardscape locations, plant spacing, drainage notes, the works. It's what contractors use to bid accurately and install correctly. Second, you get a plant selection guide built specifically for Chicago — native species, stuff that actually thrives in our clay soil and survives January, with notes on sun requirements and how big everything gets. No more guessing if that tree's going to block your window in five years. And third, you get photorealistic 3D renderings of your finished space from multiple angles, showing real materials, mature plant sizes, even what it looks like at different times of day. You can show your spouse, make changes before we dig, and actually see what you're spending money on. That's the whole point — you should know exactly what you're getting before the first shovel hits the ground.
