Your Local Landscape Design, Installation, & Maintenance Pros

Make Van Zelst landscape architects, installation teams and garden maintenance professionals your choice for beautiful Waukegan landscaping designs. Our work is on display in properties throughout the North Shore, as well as many local businesses and the Chicago Botanic Garden.

We are well versed in creating landscapes that invite visitors through the garden. From upgrading plantings and stonework in established Waukegan landscapes to creating all-new garden plans and evolving them over time, Van Zelst can help you make the most of your outdoor living spaces.

We are also experienced in dealing with Waukegan landscaping challenges such as emerald ash borer and stormwater management, and have helped many families successfully address these issues. We are also familiar with the Waukegan landscaping ordinance regarding appropriate trees. In addition, we’re advocates of making green spaces greener through the use of environmentally friendly landscaping practices, installing permeable pavers, recycling yard waste and more.

The Van Zelst team offers complete skilled Waukegan landscaping services, from site analysis, design and planting to stonework installation by in-house masonry teams and ongoing professional maintenance of your lawn and garden. We create landscapes that add beauty and value to your property, while ensuring that your outdoor spaces are adapted to the way your family lives and entertains.
