D & D is a full service landscaping company providing both design and installation. Since 1969 we have helped Chicagoans improve their curb appeal with a complete project - trees, shrubs, lighting, and more. Give D & D a chance to design and implement a plan for your home today!
We also:
Design, install and maintain sprinkler systems for both residents and businesses.
Design, install and maintain outdoor lighting systems using fully integrated LED fixtures for both residents and businesses yardscapes and patios. We do not offer lawn care or weekly maintenance for lawn and landscaping.

"I selected D&D for a patio installation project. In March during the design and planning, they were very responsive. After they submitted the permit, they almost never responded. My village gave feedback in late March and 2.5 months later D&D never moved the project forward. Only received 1 message in April saying they would get back to me and one meeting in May saying they are waiting for the village (that was not true per my village). It has been another 3 weeks since I have heard back from the team after telling them the village is waiting for them to provide more information. The office does not return calls or texts either. This has been a very frustrating experience as D&D almost never texts back or returns calls. I have called or texted almost daily for two months. I am very surprised by their high rating as they seem incredibly unresponsive to me. I do not recommend anyone work with D&D."

"JD and his team just did the second job for us - new front yard sod & some new backyard plantings. The work is beautiful, just what we wanted, and was done efficiently and with such a great, positive crew. JD is meticulous - you get a beautiful yard and simple instructions to keep it that way! He has a great feel for what the customer wants and understands what it's going to look like all year round and over the long term. His original design is still beautiful almost 10 years later. Highly recommend, thanks JD!"

FAQs for landscape design service projects in Lake Forest, IL

Hiring a landscape designer brings your unique vision to life and provides expert guidance on design details you may not have considered. They clarify your overall layout and refine specific elements, advise on native and environmentally compatible plants and optimal placement, and develop a cohesive, colorful garden scheme. Their expertise enhances the visual appeal, boosts curb appeal and home value, and streamlines project management for a functional, beautiful outdoor space.

Start by checking that the designer holds current licenses, certifications, or professional memberships in your state. Next, review a portfolio of recent projects and ask for two or three homeowner references to verify results and reliability. Pros who show a deep, diverse body of work often charge more, but that experience usually pays off in fewer headaches for you. Finally, talk through their design process to be sure it lines up with your goals and aesthetic.
