Hursthouse Landscape Architects and Contractors
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Cook County, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 November 2012
“The Hursthouse team patiently spent many hours developing a detailed and extensive renovation plan for our entire property. Major features of the plan included: --installing a brick paver driveway bordered by a snapcut limestone retaining wall --installing bluestone front entry walk and porch --rebuilding backyard bluestone patio and new courtyard area with water fountain and cast iron fence border --extensive landscape lighting both front and back --installing imported planter urns on pedestals --extensive tree & shrub planting, perennials & ground cover. The design added great value and enhanced our enjoyment of our property in ways we never anticipated. The entire Hursthouse team took great pride in their work and went to great lengths to make us very satisfied clients.”

“Mary came out and we discussed what I was wanting in my landscaping. She created a design plan for my front and back yards and hired the needed help to make it happen. It turned out beautiful and I've gotten lots of compliments on my yard!”
The Barn: Landscape + Architecture
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Cook County, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 November 2013
“From our first meeting with Tom Kusmerz, The Barn Nursery, we were sold on working with that company and looked no further. Through conversation and walking around on our property, Tom was able to create a hardscape design concept that we just loved. Our retaining wall was failing and we needed to redesign the whole thing. With his help we chose natural stone that blended well with our existing house brick and pool decking and gave us both the color and natural look we were after. Tom worked with our pool and concrete contractors so everything on our project was done in the right order and no one had to wait on someone else. With Tom's design on our retaining wall and how the base materials were installed, we were able to reduce the costs of our concrete decking repair by half of the original bid and we have a beautiful, natural looking retaining wall that will last forever. The crews working on our project from The Barn Nursery were great. I looked forward to their arrival every morning. They were neat, efficient, friendly and very hard working. I could tell that they really took pride in their workmanship and the job came out beautifully. My family and I look forward to their return in the spring to help us with our plantings. It was a truly great experience working with this company and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.”
JW LANDSCAPES LLC
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Cook County, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 January 2015
“Over the years, I have had the pleasure to design and install Landscape Illumination systems on a number of projects that John West has designed and installed. As the owner of Night Light, Inc, I have had the opportunity to work at some of the nicest properties throughout Chicago. I am truly impressed with the landscapes designed by John. John does not follow a common road in his approach to properties. He understands his client's thoroughly and develops the entire property to be unique and very special. Calming and a pleasure to enjoy, is how I read his customer's reactions. Never have I seen a boring detail in his work, but instead a refreshing approach to creating excitement in garden spaces. We have worked on smaller city spaces and country estates, where he has transformed them into meaningful islands of paradise. I give John my highest praises for jobs well done.”
Heffernan Landscape Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 October 2012
“Heffernan Landscape Design designed and installed a garden and patio after gut-rehab and addition built to my home. The architecture of my home, my needs, wish list and my abilitiy as a gardner were taken into account when the garden was designed. A large patio with seating, greenspace, herb garden, and shade trees was installed. Excellent work with beautiful results. Courteous crew left the area spotless.”
Poul's Landscaping & Nursery, Inc.
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Cook County, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 May 2016
“I highly recommend this company! Poul's has done all of our landscaping design and installation since our house was built. We have used their services several times during our phased-in landscaping approach. Their very talented landscape architects' designs are beautiful and they take the time to meet with you to determine the best plan for your specific area, tastes, lifestyle and budget. I really like the fact that they have their own nursery and you can walk their property with a professional to pick out just the right tree or shrub if you want. The trees they planted for us several years ago were amazing and continue to thrive providing us with beautiful shade in just the right spot. Most recently, we've cleared out a brush line and Poul's designed and installed new flowering bushes and perennials which have completely changed the look of our back yard.”
Rolling Landscapes Inc.

Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars28 January 2013
“We have used Rolling Landscapes on a number of occassions - Each of those times we were very satisfied with the results. They are very helpful with designing our project. Great in assiting our current need and our needs for growing or adding onto the project at a later date.”
Western DuPage Landscaping, Inc.
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Cook County, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 March 2014
“We had recently added a sunroom and needed some landscaping done in our backyard around the new room. We also decided to put in a patio adjacent to the sunroom. We have a slanted backyard, so we really needed advice on how to accomplish this. In addition, we needed a landscaper to work with us as the contractor finished our deck so everything would flow together. We had an idea of what we wanted, but were really looking for advice and recommendations. We talked to three different landscapers and decided to go with Western DuPage Landscaping. The designer, Nicole, had some great suggestions for our project and worked within the budget we gave her. She patiently explained the difference in pricing between the various pavers available and also recommended plants and shrubs that would grow in our very shaded backyard. Our project came in on budget and in the time frame given. We are very happy with the work done and would not hesitate to return to WDL for future work.”
Twig Landscape Design, LLC

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 June 2016
“My firm, Greenheart Buildings Inc. (d.b.a. Arrow-wood Timber Frame Homes), engaged Twig Landscape Design to develop a multi-phase design for a remodel in River Forest which is now underway. We were impressed by Michelle's ability to understand and represent our client's needs in her final design. We are looking forward to putting the landscaping in place, once the other roofing and siding aspects of the remodel have been competed. We highly recommend Twig Landscape Design.”
Exterra Designs, Inc
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Cook County, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 February 2013
“We have had Exterra do two projects for our home. First was landscaping the front and side of the house. This involved stone work, plantings and a pergola. We were thrilled with beautiful design and the craftsmanship of installation. The plantings have thrived and after 10 years all the work remains intact. Two years ago, we came back to Pete to have a patio put on the back of the house. This was all brick work and Pete's design was great and worked perfect with what was existing. We had some settling on the patio and Exterra was out immediately to fix it and it is great. We love the work Pete has done with design and the guys doing the install were wonderful. We whole heartedly recommend Exterra designs.”

How to find the best landscape designers near you


When it comes to planning and designing your landscape, the first question you need to answer is: Do you need a landscape architect, or will a garden designer suffice? To answer this question, you need to first define your project. If it is complex and involves hard- and softscapes and maybe even a swimming pool, a landscape architect is probably the better choice. If on the other hand you are looking for something fairly simple, like adding new plants and flower beds, a garden designer will likely suffice. The main difference is that an architect has more education and costs more than a designer, and you will need to decide which level of work will serve your project. If you’re unsure, just have a chat to both and get some quotes!

So go on, browse the Houzz directory, check out previous garden design projects they have completed, and get in touch with landscape designers in Cook County, IL for a consultation today.
