We are a team of landscape designers and fine gardeners with over 30 years of experience who curate plantings for both homes and public areas. We strive to design according to the aesthetic tastes of our clients while using plants, trees, and shrubs that will be most successful. Our main styles are classic contemporary with west coast influences, and native perennial gardens. While we have designed many spaces for others to install, our team prefers to coordinate each aspect of a project. From hardscaping to electricity to any form of planting, we will personally be on site to ensure quality. Our landscape projects have ranged in size from half a city block to curated custom container plantings. Our more recent foray into retail with our Plant Perfect Design houseplant and accessories shop follows with the same thoughtfulness. We strive to provide clients services and house calls with timely communication, tips and tricks for any houseplant, and design for successful plant ownership.

"Did a great job!!"

Greener Living is a locally owned and operated company that values honesty and integrity in all aspects of our business. Our dedicated team of professionals have over 5 years of hands on experience, to provide innovative ideas and suggestions tailored to your projects. Our services are customized to your individual needs, paying close attention to the details of each project that we are involved with.

"Donâ t waste your time and money on Greener Living. I had been a fairly happy Greener Living customer for just over two years. Early on there were issues - they were annoying but manageable. Over time, the frequency and intensity of the issues became unbearable. The Greener Living technicians and management failed to provide the â professionalâ part of a â paid professional service.â I began documenting and itemizing the issues. Here is what I saw: 1) Technicians failing to read gate codes from my account "notes" resulting in skipped/delayed services 2) Technicians not adequately using enough product on service 3) Technicians damaging sprinkler heads - two years in a row - with the aerator, despite me having flagged them with bright yellow flags 4) Too many pushy "sales" phone calls 5) Technicians using the wrong products and staining my property For all of these issues, I had to reach out and insist that some resolution be provided - it was not the default response. I eventually started communicating directly with Brian Mason (Owner & General Manager per his email signature). I gave them a couple opportunities to make it right and they failed. I eventually asked for a refund. Brian sent an email saying the refund would be processed and sent his apologies. The trouble is, at the time of writing this, it has been 19 days since â processingâ that refund and despite attempting to contact them twice since then there has been no refund. Stay away from Greener Living - they donâ t care about you, your property, or your business. They just want your money."

"Overall, I had a very positive experience with APS Pools & Spas. We decided to install a fiberglass pool for the durability when dealing with Chicago winters. The APS Team delivered what they promised with minimal surprises. They were very accommodating when we made modifications to the original plans,  or we made additional add-ons. Their team showed up daily and I didn't have to chase them to complete the project. Oscar's crew were hard working and respectful of my neighbors and the community. They always cleaned up their mess at the end of the day and were very pleasant to interact with. The APS Team did a great job in making our pool dreams a reality. "

"JD and his team just did the second job for us - new front yard sod & some new backyard plantings. The work is beautiful, just what we wanted, and was done efficiently and with such a great, positive crew. JD is meticulous - you get a beautiful yard and simple instructions to keep it that way! He has a great feel for what the customer wants and understands what it's going to look like all year round and over the long term. His original design is still beautiful almost 10 years later. Highly recommend, thanks JD!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Water regularly, avoid heavy foot traffic, and clear debris promptly to support lawn health.

Sulfur makes grass greener as it creates a rich, healthy growing environment. It can help reduce the pH level in the soil to ensure the roots can get all the nutrients they need, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Sulfur also makes grass denser, lusher, and stronger. It’s a soil amendment that can make a big difference in the health and appearance of your lawn.

No—in fact, it can be beneficial to your lawn if you maintain a routine. By flipping blades of grass in the opposite direction, you’re allowing that side to absorb more sunlight than it normally would. Alternating the mowing directions will help your grass gather sunlight more evenly over time, leading to a more vibrant and healthy lawn

Overwatering won’t just hurt your wallet with the water bill; it’ll impact the longevity of your lawn. 

Too much water on your grass will deprive the root system of oxygen, stunting its growth and even killing it. Stunted root growth means a weak and disconnected root system. That means the lawn is weaker, making it more vulnerable to diseases and drought.

Mowing a lawn will, unfortunately, not get rid of clover, and it may even encourage it to flourish. Let your lawn grow to a healthy height of over 3 inches and then set your mower blades no lower than this level. Higher grass will cut out the light that clover loves and discourage it from spreading.
