What we build
Landscape Design and Build Services in Deerfield
Every service below is available across Deerfield, east and west of Waukegan Road.
Patio Installation
New patios that replace the original 1950s slabs on Deerfield homes, built larger on a compacted base for family meals and evenings outside.
Patio Installation
Hardscaping
Walks, front steps and stoops from the first Deerfield homes rebuilt in pavers, brick or stone, plus paths across wide backyards.
Hardscaping
Retaining Walls
Seat walls around a fire pit and low walls that hold raised beds or level a corner of the yard for a play lawn.
Retaining Walls
Outdoor Living
Family outdoor rooms for Deerfield backyards: a fire pit close to the patio, an outdoor kitchen and covered seating for summer nights.
Outdoor Living
Landscape Lighting
Lights for long backyard paths, patio steps and the trees planted with the first homes, on timers you set once.
Landscape Lighting
Garden Design
Shade gardens under trees that have grown for six decades, and borders that separate the patio from the open lawn.
Garden Design
Grading & Drainage
Drainage for flat Deerfield lots with heavy soil: regrading, French drains and dry creek beds done before any new build.
Grading & Drainage
What Deerfield Yards Need
Deerfield grew fast in the late 1950s, and many of its yards still carry that era: large lots, older hardscape and trees that have had decades to grow.
Homes From the 1950s Boom
Deerfield nearly doubled in size between 1957 and 1960, after the Edens Expressway opened. Many of those homes still have their original walks, steps and patios, ready for a rebuild.
Room for a Family Backyard
Deerfield lots often have space for a patio, a fire pit and a play lawn. Planning them together keeps each zone in the right place.
Decades of Tree Growth
Trees planted with the first homes now shade much of the yard. Shade gardens and careful patio placement work with them instead of against them.
Soggy Spots After Storms
Flat lots and heavy soil leave some Deerfield yards wet for days after rain. Grading and drainage come first, before a new patio or garden.
Landscape Design in Deerfield: FAQ
Do you work in all of Deerfield?
Yes. We serve all of Deerfield, east and west of Waukegan Road, from our office in Northbrook just to the south.
Do I need a permit for a patio in Deerfield?
Deerfield sets its own permit rules for patios, walls and grading, separate from Northbrook. Checking the village requirements is part of planning every Deerfield project.
Can you replace the original patio on my 1950s home?
Yes. Older patios that have heaved, cracked or sunk are taken out and rebuilt from the base up, often larger and in a material that suits the house today.
Can you design a backyard for kids and entertaining?
Yes. The plan places the patio and fire pit near the house and keeps open lawn for play, with lighting and planting tying the zones together.
