Another Year of Color at Park Ridge Country Club in the Heart of the City of Park Ridge:
Tommy Pollina Landscape Co., Inc. is gearing up for the annual transformation at Park Ridge Country Club, where we’ve proudly installed seasonal displays for decades.
This Mt. Prospect project focused on rebuilding and refining the property’s planting beds for long-term health and a cleaner, more intentional landscape. The team removed old plant material, redefined bed lines, improved soil with mushroom compost, added strategic landscape fabric, and finished everything with triple-ground mulch for moisture retention and polish. The front yard now features an evergreen structure with hydrangeas, spirea, coneflower, Russian sage, ornamental grasses, and hostas, while the backyard highlights a Japanese Maple surrounded by layered shade plantings. The result is a healthier, better-designed landscape that will mature beautifully and complement the home for years.
Landscape Design and Installation - Landscaping & Hardscaping Service
The design of your yard is the first step and only one component of achieving a beautiful landscape design for your home. The next step is landscape installation. Call Tommy Pollina Landscape Company at (847) 698-6868 to ensure your landscape construction will be done professionally and quickly. Your garden, trees, bushes, evergreens, and lawn take precise planning and expertise to plant, and so does the installation of the hardscape elements for your landscape construction. Hardscape elements refer to your brick or stone patio, brick paver walkway, and retaining walls, among others which need to be installed correctly to make sure they will last for many years. Our company is proud to have achieved the designation as an authorized Contractor with Unilock. This means we exceed industry standards during the hardscape installation process and stand behind our finished product for five years.
Tommy Pollina Landscape employs fully insured landscape installation teams who will ensure that the appropriate species of trees, flowers, bushes, evergreens, and lawns are chosen for your particular yard. The type of soil, grading, irrigation, and amount of sun or shade in your yard are just some of the factors that must be considered when completing your landscape construction. If you are working under budget constraints, Tommy Pollina Landscape will be happy to develop a phased landscape installation plan. For example, this season you decide to only install the sod, flowers, and trees for your backyard landscape, and next season you install the bushes and evergreens to complete your landscape design.

Tommy Pollina Landscape Co. Inc. completed a full backyard transformation in Park Ridge, starting with a custom Unilock stone walkway and evolving into a complete garden overhaul featuring more than 30 plant varieties. The once overgrown space is now filled with vibrant color and texture from Junipers, Karl Foerster grasses, Rozanne Geraniums, Queen Nectarine Anise Hyssop, and a wide mix of ornamental grasses like Sporobolus heterolepis and Deschampsia ‘Goldtau’. Long-blooming favorites such as Salvia ‘Caradonna’, Allium Millennium, and Veronica ‘Wizard of Ahhs’ add continuous interest, while groundcovers, coneflowers, hostas, and hyssops enrich the landscape. Over 130 plants were installed, all tied together with rich hardwood mulch and a thoughtful design that creates a lush, peaceful, and uniquely inviting outdoor space.
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.
Planting season is in full bloom at Tommy Pollina Landscape Company! From colorful annuals to vibrant perennials, our team is out delivering and installing beautiful plantings that bring landscapes to life. With attention to detail and decades of experience, we help homeowners create eye-catching, thriving outdoor spaces. Whether you're refreshing your garden beds or planning a full landscape makeover, we’ve got the crew, the plants, and the vision to make it happen!
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.
We have completed this property overhaul for a home in Barrington, and the results speak for themselves! This project was a true start-to-finish transformation, turning an overgrown, outdated yard into a clean, green, and beautifully functional landscape. Here’s what we are delivering: New Front custom Unilock Walkway, Complete Ivy Removal, Drainage System Installed, New Plant Material, Privacy Arborvitaes & Evergreens, Fresh Kentucky Bluegrass Sod. Every detail was carefully planned and executed to work together as a single, integrated outdoor system, built to perform, built to last, and built to impress.
This past Friday, Tommy Pollina Landscape Co. kicked off the installation of Arborvitae, boxwoods, and barberries in front of the house, and things are really starting to take shape! Check out the photos to see the changes unfold, and stay tuned for the next steps next week as we start installing 40+ large arborvitae!
We’re almost done with our new construction project in the Village of Wilmette and it’s looking fantastic! The homeowner has been so happy with the results that we’re now adding even more, including a full landscape lighting design.
Here are some highlights from the completed work (landscape lighting coming soon):
