Custom Yard Layout and Planting Plan
A detailed plan for your yard, from layout to plant selection.
A More Personal Way to Shape Your Outdoor Space
This service begins with a careful review of your property, including sun exposure, soil, drainage, and the areas you use most. I then create a custom layout that balances beds, lawn, pathways, and gathering spaces, along with a planting plan that suits your climate and maintenance preferences. Each recommendation is explained so you understand why it works for your home.
You receive a clear design you can visualize before any work begins. The plan includes plant placement, material suggestions, and finishing details that bring the whole yard together. Changes are welcome during the planning stage, so the final design reflects your priorities rather than a generic template.
Ideal For
Homeowners starting a new yard from scratch
Families who want more usable outdoor living space
Owners refreshing tired beds or outdated layouts
Anyone who wants a plan before committing to a budget
How It Works
Site Walkthrough: We review sun, soil, drainage, and how you use the yard.

Plan Review: We refine the design together so it is ready for installation.







About
Hi, I'm Marlee, and I run A1 Landscaping Pros here in Chicago. I take every job personally, whether it's a big project or a small weekend cleanup, and I treat each yard like it's my own. My focus is on the details: clean edges, careful work, and finishing on time without ever rushing the job. When you hire A1, you get someone who shows up, does the work right, and stands behind it. I love seeing a space go from overgrown to sharp, and I'm proud of every result I put my name on. If your yard needs a reliable hand, I'd love to help make it look its best.
