When we first met the homeowners, they expressed an interest in a "world class" entryway and patio design suitable for hosting large get-togethers with family and friends. Size was important to them as well as the ability to entertain in weather that was less than ideal.

What does one do with a large backyard area? Entertain and host family and loved ones of course! The husband and wife living at this property knew that they wanted to enhance their outdoor living space but were unable to visualize what that would look like.

All Hail to the Flag

The staff at Hononegah High School wanted to create a usable and respectful space for their existing flagpoles. This area is used by students and staff for occasional gatherings, and due to the hilly landscape, made these congregations awkward.
Stairway to Beauty

This beautiful river-front home has stunning views. Unfortunately, the only access to it was through the house or via a treacherously worn staircase.
Cozy Outdoor Fireplace

In this case, the homeowner knew exactly what he wanted. He already had a beautiful second story deck and lower level patio for entertaining, but he knew he needed something more.
Impressive Outdoor Living

Our homeowner wanted to create a space to impress his guests.

Small Yet Spectacular

A Private Retreat

Our homeowner wanted an updated landscape throughout the property that included a small paved space to relax. The client also wanted a privacy barrier that consisted of something besides a row of trees.
To accommodate this request, we created a small patio using Belgard Mega Dublin pavers in Cotswold Mist with Weston Universal stone seat walls, also in Cotswold Mist, bordering the patio.
Soothing Sanctuary

This project's goal was to extend the outdoor living space from the deck to the lower yard by installing a paver patio. This large patio space, created from Belgard Lafitt pavers in Danville Beige and trimmed with a soldier course border using Hollandstone pavers in Charcoal, was adorned with Belgard Weston Universal and 3-piece wall stones in Danville Beige accent pillars and seat wall.
Driveway Makeover

The end goal on this specific project was to spruce up an existing driveway. Our customer really wanted to do something unique that would make a statement but wouldn't overpower the surrounding landscape.
From Mundane to Magnificent

Outdoor Dining Pleasure

The goal of this assisted living facility was to create an interactive and safe space for the residents to enjoy a meal during the beautiful summer months. Handicap access and protection from nearby parking lot traffic were a must.
A Safe & Attractive Place

Safety had become a concern due to rotting and crumbling railroad ties at this business, and the owners were ready for a sleek, updated look. We installed Fond du Lac natural cut wall stone, keeping a similar layout to the preexisting wall.
Refined Paradise

Our goal for this project was to create unity among a mix of hardscape materials and implement one cohesive space that allowed for multiple uses: grilling, entertaining, lounging, seamless passage from multiple entrances, and safe passage for bare feet heading to the pool. The final plan incorporated Unilock's Beacon Hill paver in Bavarian Blend with a Brussels paver soldier course in Buff for the expansive patio space.
Expanding Horizons

When we met with the homeowner of this project, she expressed a desire to expand her outdoor entertainment space from the current deck. So our designer and project manager Logan Alberts created a beautifully flowing oversized walkway from the deck that led to a new raised patio with a firepit behind the deck.
Contemporary Backyard Retreat

Tapestry of Stonework

This terraced landscape was in need of a makeover. Dated flagstone steps were uneven and falling apart, thus making them dangerous to traverse.
Levels of Beauty

It's always a challenge creating functional spaces on a small footprint, but if you get a little creative it can be done! This homeowner wanted to create a small functional living space. The challenge on this site was the grade change between the back door, the garage door, and the existing lawn.
Minimalist Patio

Outdoor entertaining doesn't always mean fancy firepits and endless seat walls. This newly constructed patio is simple but makes a statement in the back yard.
The Perfect Patio to Accompany Your In-ground Pool

When we first started this project, the homeowners intended to install an in-ground pool. Because the elevation of the grade drastically changed throughout parts of the backyard, a retaining wall was needed around the outer edge of the pool.
Country Club Upgrade

Sometimes we come across a customer who already has the idea and design in hand and is looking for a reputable company to perform the work. Lucky for us, this country club entrusted LawnCare by Walter to bring their drawing and idea to life!

Asian Contemporary Oasis

This project was uniquely designed to reflect the cultural background of our customer. Our project manager and landscape designer worked together to create a peaceful retreat of relaxation while incorporating the Asian elements of earth, water, stone, wood and a contrast of textures.
The cedar trellises were custom designed by our team of skilled employees and the solid granite pagoda nestled between the red maple and lush evergreens was custom built by our project manager.
Backyard Solace

Belgard Rustic Patio & Firepit

In this private and quiet setting, our Project Manager used the surrounding landscape to inspire a rustic themed outdoor space where family and friends could relax. The preexisting concrete patio started failing and our customer trusted us to create a provincial style landscape to enjoy for many years! The patio pavers used to create a natural look were Belgard Mega Libre in a Danville Beige color, the pillar walls that encase the wood beams on the beautiful wooden deck were Belgard Weston Wall in Gascony Tan color and the gorgeous stone staircase is Belgard Granika in the Gascony Tan color..
