When a City of Park Ridge homeowner bought the house next door, they had a bold plan: demo it and build the ultimate double-lot yard. Tommy Pollina Landscape Co. Inc. delivered a complete landscape transformation — here’s a look at what went in:
Foundation & Lawn
• Bulk pulverized topsoil & mushroom compost for rich soil
• MASSIVE Sod installation across the yard (800+ rolls!)
• Fertilizer & sod starter for healthy growth
Trees & Screening
• Quaking Aspen, Magnolia ‘Royal Star’
• Green Giant Arborvitae for privacy
• Mission Arborvitae, Densiform Yew, Boxwoods for structure
Perennials & Shrubs
• Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass, Sesleria, Lady’s Mantle
• Catmint, Salvia ‘Caradonna’, Forsythia ‘Sunrise’
• Hydrangea Annabelle + Quick Fire, Dwarf Korean Lilac, Allium ‘Millenium’
Hardscape & Finishing Touches
• Natural square Unilock patio block pathways
• River rock accents
• Steel edging for clean lines
• Custom NDS drainage system
The finished result: a one-of-a-kind landscape that combines lush plantings, privacy screening, stone features, and a brand-new yard on a scale rarely seen in the area.
