What Wilmette Yards Need
From the Bahá'í House of Worship on Sheridan Road to the streets west of the Edens, Wilmette has many older homes on close lots. Good design here is about making every foot of the yard count.
Smaller Lots, Planned to the Inch
Much of Wilmette sits on narrow lots. A patio sized to the space, planting in layers and lighting turn a small yard into an outdoor room.
Privacy Between Close Neighbors
Evergreens, tall grasses and a well-placed pergola give a backyard privacy without closing it in.
Older Walks, Steps and Stoops
Original brick and concrete walks and steps on older Wilmette homes often heave and crack. They are rebuilt on a new base in materials that suit the house.
Mature Parkway Trees
Large trees along the streets and in backyards shade much of Wilmette. Shade gardens and careful patio placement work with them.
