Excellence In Landscape Awards Project

Premier Landscape Contractors, Inc. • Lemont Suburban

This site was a project that started with

a simple 3-season room addition and morphed into its title, a suburban oasis. The formal wrap-around porch called for a simplistic hydrangea backplanting with boxwood hedge and seasonal color in the foreground. The new motorcourt leads to the linear layout of a firepit area connected to the lounging patio, connected to the elevated dining terrace. Each outdoor room is surrounded by diverse plant massings that provide year-round blooms. Disticnt architectural features draw the eye to potential hidden landscapes and create a further illusion of depth. The final incorporation of extensive landscape lighting allows the site to be enjoyed at all times and leads to many enjoyable future events.
