WHO WE ARE
For nearly three decades, Dearborn Group has been the North Shore's trusted name in premier residential and commercial landscape design, build, and maintenance. Founded in 1997 by Ed Sr. in Lake Bluff, Illinois, the company was built on a simple philosophy: exceptional landscapes begin with exceptional craftsmanship. After two decades honing his expertise in the industry, Ed Sr. set out to create a company defined by precision, artistry, and an unwavering commitment to client satisfaction.
That legacy continues today under the direction of Eddie, who joined the family business in 2016 following his graduation from Iowa State University with a degree in Agricultural Business. Eddie began his journey working directly alongside the crews, gaining a hands-on understanding of the craft from the ground up. He later pursued advanced study in landscape design, and now leads the creative vision behind Dearborn Group's most ambitious projects — transforming outdoor spaces into refined extensions of our clients' homes and businesses.
As a father-son owned and operated company, Dearborn Group brings a level of care and accountability that only comes from a family name attached to every project. Our team of seasoned professionals approaches each landscape with meticulous attention to detail, blending horticultural expertise with a designer's eye to create outdoor environments of lasting beauty. We specialize in full outdoor living packages — thoughtfully integrating custom patios, hardscapes, lighting, plantings, and architectural elements into a single, cohesive design that transforms the way our clients live outdoors. From initial concept through ongoing landscape maintenance, we manage every phase of the process with the discretion, precision, and white-glove service our clients expect.
With decades of combined experience and a portfolio of distinguished properties throughout the North Shore, Dearborn Group has earned its reputation as the region's premier landscape design and maintenance partner — trusted by discerning homeowners and businesses alike to bring their vision to life.
