Evanston Landscaping, Hardscaping, Drainage & Lawn Services, Snow Removal & Ice Management - Landscaper near Evanston, IL

A well-designed landscape is about more than appearance. It is about planning, function, and getting everything right from the start. Our landscape design service maps out your entire project, including grading, drainage, hardscape, and planting.
This is where most projects go wrong. Without a clear plan, you end up with poor layout, drainage issues, or work that needs to be redone. We eliminate that upfront.
With detailed 3D renderings and walkthroughs, you can see exactly how your project will look and perform before any work begins.

At Tommy Pollina Landscape Company, we understand that your yard is a complex, living system. It’s not just a lawn, a patio, or a row of plants—it’s a network of interconnected elements. When one component is out of alignment, it can impact the function and health of every other aspect. For 45 years, we’ve specialized in designing and installing outdoor environments that function cohesively. Our approach combines beautiful and functional design for: drainage systems, proper grading, plant material, hardscape elements, lawn maintenance, irrigation, lighting, and more—all engineered to work in harmony.

True landscape performance doesn’t happen by chance. It requires thoughtful integration of every trade and every detail. That’s what sets us apart: nearly half a century of experience ensuring every outdoor system we install works together, and stands the test of time.

Protect your home from an expensive flooding disaster!

• We are the best drainage solution provider in Chicago, backed by 45 years of experience and more than 10,000 successful installations.
• A large part of our business involves repairing or replacing faulty drainage systems installed by less experienced contractors (often cheaper options from contractors with little to no experience).
• Going with what appears to be more cost-effective option at the start can end up costing much more time and money later (possibly double or more), and can possibly put your property and your home’s foundation at risk.
• We can put you in touch with multiple customers of ours who have made the mistake of using an inexperienced drainage contractor and had to call us to come repair it shortly thereafter – you can talk directly to them and ask them – we’ll give you their info.
