Northbrook Landscape Design & Outdoor Lighting Project

Residential landscape renovation project in Northbrook featuring hydrangeas, boxwoods, ornamental grasses, decorative river rock, fresh mulch, outdoor lighting, and a natural flagstone pathway.

Complete Landscape Renovation & Outdoor Lighting Project

A well-designed landscape is about more than just plants. It is about creating outdoor spaces that feel intentional, connected, functional, and visually balanced from every angle of the property.

For this residential landscape renovation project, our team at Tommy Pollina Landscape Co.
completely cleaned up, redefined, and redesigned the property to improve both curb appeal and long-term usability.

Landscape Improvements Included
Complete landscape cleanup and reshaping
Removal of outdated and overgrown plant material
Reworked and redefined landscape bedlines
Installation of new hydrangeas and boxwoods
Ornamental grasses and perennial plantings
Fresh premium mulch installation
Decorative river rock installation for low-maintenance areas
Custom natural flagstone pathway installation
Upgraded low-voltage landscape lighting throughout the property
Front Yard Landscape Transformation

The front entrance was redesigned to create a cleaner, more welcoming appearance with improved symmetry, lighting, and plant spacing. Updated landscape bedlines and layered plant material help frame the home while maintaining a natural and balanced look.

Low-Maintenance Side Yard Design

The side yard was transformed into a decorative river rock landscape area designed to reduce maintenance while still adding texture and visual interest to the property. This upgrade improves drainage, minimizes upkeep, and creates a cleaner transition between spaces.

Custom Flagstone Walkway Installation

A new natural flagstone pathway was installed to create a more functional and visually connected flow throughout the landscape beds. The pathway helps guide movement through the property while blending naturally into the surrounding landscape design.

Outdoor Landscape Lighting Upgrade

The upgraded low-voltage landscape lighting completely changes how the property looks at night. Tree uplighting highlights the architectural landscape features while pathway lighting improves visibility, safety, and overall curb appeal from the street.

Why Thoughtful Landscape Design Matters

What makes projects like this successful is not any one plant, material, or feature. It is how every detail works together to create a complete outdoor environment.

Key design elements included:

Proper landscape bedline design
Strategic outdoor lighting placement
Natural pathway flow and connectivity
Balanced plant spacing and layering
Cleanup, reshaping, and overall property cohesion

Every detail plays a role in making the property feel finished, functional, and visually cohesive.

As you go through the project photos, you will see how each area of the property was improved with purpose while still maintaining a natural, timeless appearance.

If areas around your home feel unfinished, disconnected, difficult to maintain, or underused, now is the perfect time to start planning improvements before the season fills up.
