Your landscape should feel like an extension of your home, a space that reflects your style, works with your property, and holds up season after season. At Willow Glen Lawn & Landscape, we handle every step of the process, from initial concept through final installation, so you get a cohesive result without juggling multiple contractors.


Based in Naperville and serving Aurora, Bolingbrook, Lisle, Oswego, Plainfield, and the surrounding western suburbs of Chicago, our team has spent over 24 years designing and building landscapes that are as functional as they are beautiful.

Our Design-Build Approach

Many homeowners search for separate designers and installers, only to discover that plans don't translate smoothly from paper to the real world. Our landscape design build process eliminates that gap. The team that creates your design is the same team that installs it, which means fewer miscommunications, tighter timelines, and a finished product that matches the vision you approved.

Here's how a typical project unfolds:


  1. On-Site Consultation — We visit your property, discuss your goals, assess soil conditions and grading, and take detailed measurements. Whether you're starting from a blank slate or renovating an existing landscape, this visit shapes everything that follows.

  2. Custom Design Development — Using professional design software, we develop a detailed plan that includes plant selections, hardscape layouts, lighting placement, and drainage considerations. For larger projects, we create 3D renderings so you can visualize the finished space before any work begins.

  3. Proposal & Material Selection — You receive a clear, itemized proposal. We walk through material options — from natural stone and Unilock pavers to native plantings and ornamental trees — so you can make confident choices that fit your budget and aesthetic.

  4. Professional Installation — Our crews handle grading, excavation, hardscape construction, planting, irrigation, lighting, and cleanup. Because we designed the project in-house, our installers understand every detail of the plan.

  5. Final Walkthrough & Care Guide — Once installation is complete, we walk the property with you to confirm every element meets your expectations. You also receive guidance on watering schedules, seasonal care, and any maintenance we recommend to protect your investment.

Landscape Services We Design & Install

Every property is different, and our landscape design installation process is built to adapt to your specific needs. Below are the core services we integrate into custom plans.

Softscape Design & Planting

Softscape Design & Planting


We select trees, shrubs, perennials, and ornamental grasses suited to the Naperville area climate and your property's sun, shade, and soil conditions. Our designs balance year round visual interest with low maintenance plant choices so your landscape looks great in every season.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Outdoor Living Spaces


From built-in kitchens and fire pits to seating walls and pergolas, we design outdoor living areas that extend your usable space. Our outdoor living space design process considers traffic flow, privacy, lighting, and how you actually plan to use the area whether that's weekend entertaining, quiet evenings, or both.

Hardscape Design & Construction

Hardscape Design & Construction


Patios, walkways, retaining walls, steps, and driveways form the structural backbone of your outdoor space. We work with Unilock pavers, natural stone, and other premium materials to create hardscape features that complement your home's architecture and stand up to Illinois weather.

Drainage & Grading Solutions

A beautiful landscape needs a solid foundation, and that starts with proper water management. We engineer drainage systems including French drains, permeable paver foundations, and precision grading to protect your property, prevent erosion, and keep planted areas healthy.

Landscape Lighting

Landscape Lighting
