Landscape Design and Build Services in Glenview
Every service below is available across Glenview, from the older streets near downtown to The Glen.

Fire pits, outdoor kitchens and pergolas planned to fit a Glenview backyard without crowding the lawn or the old trees.

Low-voltage lights for walks, steps and patios, with soft uplighting on the tall trees that line the older Glenview streets.

Shade planting under mature trees near downtown and evergreen privacy screens for the tighter lots at The Glen.

Regrading, French drains and downspout lines for Glenview yards that stay wet for days after a heavy rain.
Grading & Drainage
What Glenview Yards Need
Glenview mixes some of the oldest neighborhoods on the North Shore with one of the newest. That range shapes what each yard needs.
Mature Trees on Older Lots
Around downtown Glenview and the historic New Church neighborhood, large trees shape the yard. Patios and beds are placed around the roots and the shade, not on top of them.
Smaller Yards at The Glen
The Glen, built on the former Naval Air Station Glenview, has newer homes on tighter lots. A compact patio, privacy planting and lighting make the most of the space.
Postwar Homes Ready for an Update
Many Glenview homes date from the building boom after World War II, and their original walks, steps and patios are often due for a rebuild.
Water After Heavy Rain
Flat lots and heavy soil leave many Glenview yards soggy after storms. Grading and drainage come first, before a new patio or garden.
Landscape Design in Glenview: FAQ
Do you work in all of Glenview?
Yes. We serve all of Glenview, from the older streets near downtown to The Glen, from our office in Northbrook just to the north.
Do I need a permit for a patio in Glenview?
Glenview sets its own permit rules for patios, walls and grading, separate from Northbrook. Checking the village requirements is part of planning every Glenview project.
Can you design for a smaller yard at The Glen?
Yes. A smaller yard needs tighter planning: a patio sized to the space, planting for privacy and lighting that makes the yard usable at night.
Can you rebuild an old patio or front walk?
Yes. Older patios and walks in Glenview that have heaved or sunk are rebuilt from the base up, with new pavers or stone that suit the house.
