In-progress construction of light-colored stone stairs and retaining wall steps leading to a prepped paver patio area in a Wilmette backyard.

Wilmette hardscape renovation featuring Unilock pavers, rebuilt front stoop, custom iron railings, and buried drainage lines. Tommy Pollina Landscape Co. Inc. is deep into a full transformation in the Village of Wilmette — and this one’s shaping up to be something special. It’s more than just a facelift — it’s a full-scale design-build upgrade.

Materials on site:

Unilock
Pisa Smooth XL Coping & Fieldstone
Mattoni pavers (Sable Blend + Coco Brown)
Ledgestone Buff Steps
Limestone screenings, gravel base, and BEAST/diamond edging

In Progress:

Custom iron railings for a timeless finish
A reimagined front stoop that ties into the hardscape
Downspout burial to route water away from the patio and foundation for proper drainage

Every part of this project is working together — the railings, the stoop, the patio, the drainage — not as separate jobs, but as one integrated system designed to solve problems and look beautiful for years to come.
