I am looking for a landscape architect to revamp the front of my house. The project involves replacing the front steps, adding an overhang and columns to make a front porch, and redoing all the plantings. If anyone has a recommendation, I would appreciate the help, as this is the first project like this that I have done.

What can I do next?

Although they are probably not the least expensive I highly recommend Bruss Landscaping. Last spring they re-did my whole front yard and walkways (brick pavers). I am thrilled with the job and the whole experience. They are extremely professional, show up every day (even when it rained) until the project is done and they guarantee all their plants for two years. I had a few plants not do so well and they came and replaced them right away. They draw up a design for you beforehand so you can see exactly what you are going to get. They've won landscape design awards, what else can I say? They are located in Wheaton. Here is their number: ###-###-#### I used Brian but I'm sure they're all great. Good luck! I hope you enjoy your new front yard as much as I have mine!

Hi L.,

Kathleen Boyle owns the Irish Garden in Brookfield and is very knowledgeable, talented and creative. I believe she works in conjunction with someone who can do the steps and overhang. I have seen her work and am very impressed with it. (I believe) she works by appt only, so you might have to leave a message for her initially. The number is ###-###-####.

Good Luck!
Trish
