Landscape Services in Rockford, IL

A new patio has to fit the trees already growing around it. Our designers work with ISA Certified Arborists to plan paving, planting, lighting, and irrigation around mature roots and canopies. We expanded our landscape team when we acquired Forsgren Landscaping in 2000.

Paver Patios

Concrete pavers, natural stone, and permeable patios with bases prepared for northern Illinois soils and freeze-thaw cycles.

Engineered retaining walls in segmental block, natural stone, or boulder. Solves sloped sites, grade transitions, erosion, and drainage problems.
