Paver Patios, Fire Pits and Outdoor Living in Northbrook
Northbrook’s tree rules decide a good deal of a build for you. Nothing may be stored, dumped or parked on soft ground inside a drip line, including a neighbor’s. The patio footprint, the access route and the material staging have to be worked out on paper first. Done properly, that is a constraint, not an obstacle.
We build patios, seating walls and a fire pit in pavers or natural stone, with decorative stones chosen to suit the house. The footprint and staging are worked out before anyone mobilizes. Our landscape design and build teams work as one, from the first drawing to the finished patio. We don’t install poured concrete paving.
Northbrook Commercial Landscaping Services
We maintain office and retail grounds, condominium and townhome associations, and other properties where a board or property manager needs consistent grounds every week. That is what our commercial landscape maintenance and HOA and community association services are built around. The written scope covers beds and natural areas as well as mown turf. We hold more than 90 commercial and association properties across Chicagoland.
Northbrook Landscape Design
If you are ready to update your Northbrook home or business landscaping, you need professional landscape designers. The first step of our landscape design process is a detailed consultation. We will work with you to determine your goals for your space. Whether you want to create a private space in your yard or a place for your friends and family to gather. After our meeting, we will develop vivid layouts to bring your vision to life.

Northbrook’s tree rules, and what they mean for a build
Northbrook requires a tree permit at 6 inches in diameter, or a combined 12 inches for a multi-stem tree, and the permit has to be in hand before any removal.
Protection during work is just as specific. The village’s Tree Protection Agreement calls for tree fencing, trunk protection and root pruning where required. It prohibits excavation through a critical root zone. It also bars materials, equipment, dumpsters and parked vehicles on unpaved or soft ground within the drip line of any tree, including a neighbor’s.
That last rule is where careless contractors create problems for owners. Most job-site tree damage is not deliberate: it is a dumpster parked in the wrong place for three weeks, or a grade change nobody thought about. In Northbrook those are also compliance failures. Our ISA-Certified Arborists plan root-zone protection before work starts, as part of our tree care and plant health care work.
