"Midwest Landscaping did a top-notch job on my front yard. I had 2 trees that needed major trimming, along with thinning of an over abundance of hostas. Pat was very personable and friendly, making it easy for me to voice my wishes and concerns. He explained in detail the big branches he would cut, where and how he would place the flagstone paths & outcropping stones and also the new nursery stock his workers would be planting. He and his team were quick and professional completing their work and clean-up in one day. They moved and re-planted some of my existing plants too, expertly placing them and changing my helter-skelter overgrown hosta carpet to a beautiful park-like setting. Beginning with something that looked overly oppressive & shady, my front landscaping now looks light, airy and welcoming. My curb appeal has just gone up 100%! Pat and his team of professionals were fabulous!"

"Tom was an incredible resource and project manager for our home backyard project. He worked with us to get the brick materials we wanted for our patio. He helped us install an area of artificial turf as well. His team worked hard and were working every day during the work week until project completed. Highly recommend Tom!"

"Although it was a little tough to connect in the beginning (due to summer rush and holiday weekend), once Maria and I connected, things went very smoothly.
She came to my house, measured and provided a quote in a very timely manner.  
I had to go through my HOA, and she was quite helpful. Providing the drawings and contacting J.U.L.I.E. as required by the HOA (and even coming out a second time to get additional details requested by the HOA).
We had set a tentative installation date (pending HOA approval) and were lucky that the HOA approval was received in the nick of time and the weather held out.
The crew showed up on time and worked tirelessly all day to complete the job. When they ran out of bricks, they went back out to buy more.  Maria  was there the entire time overseeing the work.  At one point we had an issue with the level of the patio where the base of the steps and the side of the house were out of sync (huge downward slope).  She noted the issue and provided a sound recommendation which I approved. At the end of the day, they cleaned up the entire area.  They had carefully removed sod, mulch and some of my plants to install the brick patio and when they were done installing, they replaced the sod, mulch and even replanted my flowers.  Impressive!!  Everything washed up (even the handprints on the staircase) and clean.  They were also very careful with the surrounding area.  I live in a townhouse and they used wheel barrels to bring in all the materials.  They were careful not to destroy any of the common area.  This is a huge plus and greatly appreciated.  
Overall, it was a very positive experience and I highly recommend LDP.  I love my new patio - even though it is small, it adds a whole new room for me outdoors.  Wish I could add pictures, it turned out great!!"

"I hired Brian again because he did an excellent job with my landscaping work.  I didn't know he did snow plowing.  I was looking at hiring a snow plow company due to the recent snowstorm.  I was impressed on how quick Brian was to respond.  Similar as his landscaping work, he is detail oriented and start to finish is at the job site.  I am extremely impressed with his work.  I am glad I hired a local company instead of a large corporation that only focuses on the bottom line.  I always enjoy Brian's company and always a pleasure speaking with him as he is local here himself."

"Sunnyview came to the property and removed a couple of trees for us and did a great job. They were very professional and did exactly what we needed them to do. They cleaned everything up after grinding out the stump’s and we had to put sod down and they did a fantastic job. They were the best price after having several other quotes and they were always friendly and nice and matter-of-fact we are going to have them come out again this coming spring to do more work for us. I highly recommend Sunnyview landscaping for anyone that is looking for work to be done."

FAQs for architect service projects in Chicago, IL

Homeowners hire a landscape architect for yard design during the initial construction of their home or for complex projects involving the installation of pools or other structures. For those planning to completely redesign their outdoor space or make significant structural changes, such as adding a swimming pool or other substantial structures, engaging a landscape architect is advisable before hiring a landscaper for construction. The architect provides construction documents for the landscaper to execute the agreed-upon plan.

The time required to design a landscape depends on the complexity of the vision and the size of the property. A small yard may take a couple of days, while a substantial property with plans to add multiple structures, such as a pool, outdoor kitchen, and living area, can take up to four weeks. Additionally, collaboration between the homeowner and the architect may extend the timeline to finalize a satisfactory design.

Typically, payment to a landscape architect is due upon completion of the design, agreement on the plans, and preparation of construction documents. A deposit may be required up front to secure their services. Some architects charge a flat fee, while others charge up to 30 percent of the total project cost. For more substantial projects, it may be possible to arrange a payment plan or milestone payments.

Landscape design and architectural plans can be completed at any time of year, although you might get a better deal during the colder months. Actually implementing the landscaping itself should wait until spring for planting projects and, ideally, until summer for large-scale hardscaping projects like laying a patio or installing a swimming pool.
