No Need For A Green Thumb.
We do more than install new plants and gardens – we work with you to make sure everything stays beautiful and thriving.
Not only have we been working with plants and greenery for decades, we’ve been working in the Chicago area for just as long. That means we know a thing or two about the plants and flowers that thrive in our Mid-Western climate, especially considering that tricky lake effect we’re all familiar with.
From our climate considerations, we then evaluate the topography and landscape design of each home at a very detailed level. This allows us to make sure that your new plantings will get the proper amount of sun, shade, and drainage.
And, because we are also a wholesale nursery provider, we’re able to guarantee that the plants we’ve chosen to install for you are healthy and strong. We can provide you with plants like the following:
ANNUALS AND PERENNIALS
SHRUBBERY
SMALL TREES
GROUND COVER
HANGING BASKETS AND POTTED PLANTS
AND MANY MORE OPTIONS!
It’s a complicated equation, but one we’re well-versed in solving. And, what really adds to that equation is our commitment to teaching you how to care for your new plantings. It’s not something most contractors do, but it’s something we’ve always done.
When we pack up after installation, we'll leave you with the confidence that your garden will look as beautiful all season long as it does on day one.
“True professionals, lovely to work with. Every aspect of any project was completed to beyond my liking!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Native and climate-adapted plants tend to perform best in North Shore Illinois landscapes because they thrive in the local soil and handle the region's temperature swings.

Joe & Tony selects and layers plants by height and texture to create year-round interest. We design plantings that suit both your property's conditions and your style.

Spring and fall are the best times to plant in the Chicago area because cooler temperatures and steady moisture help new plants establish strong roots. Fall planting in particular gives perennials and shrubs time to settle before summer heat arrives. Joe & Tony plans plantings around these windows to give your garden the best start. Proper timing makes a noticeable difference in how well new plants take hold.

Strategic plantings improve a property by enhancing privacy, defining outdoor spaces, and providing color and texture across the seasons. Thoughtful placement, such as evergreen screens for privacy or layered beds for visual depth, makes a yard both more beautiful and more functional. Joe & Tony focuses on sustainable, low-maintenance designs that look good and hold up over time. The result is an outdoor space that works for how you actually live.
