 Our team just wrapped up this fresh planting-bed installation, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! We started by sculpting precise curves to complement the home’s new deck, then layered premium mulch to lock in moisture and suppress weeds. Bright green perennials up front will fill in beautifully through the season, while the mix of ornamental grasses and compact shrubs adds texture and year-round interest. The result? A low-maintenance, high-impact foundation planting that instantly boosts curb appeal and creates a welcoming entrance.

CHALLENGE: Park Ridge Country Club, located on Prospect Street in the City of Park Ridge, has been a fixture in the community since 1911, serving over 500 families and thousands of members. In 2008, the club embarked on a renovation to enhance its entrances and walkways. The design team sought a material that would complement the charm and character of the historic clubhouse while standing up to heavy foot traffic and the test of time.
SOLUTION: Tommy Pollina Landscape Co. Inc was selected to perform the installation, working alongside OKW Architects to bring the vision to life. The team chose Copthorne® pavers by Unilock – known for their timeless, European-inspired aesthetic. The pavers were site-blended in Burnt Clay, Old Oak, and Burgundy Red, perfectly complementing the club’s brick façade. Manufactured using Unilock’s EnduraColor” technology, these pavers deliver enhanced durability and lasting color, with textures cast from real stone and brick.
