We're a full-service landscape design build and property management company. We handle everything from custom landscape design and construction — including patios, outdoor kitchens, and pools — to ongoing landscape maintenance and property management for both residential and commercial clients. We also offer a variety of snow removal services.

We serve the northern Chicago suburbs, the Milwaukee suburbs, downtown Chicago, and the Lake Geneva area. If you're unsure whether your property falls within our service area, reach out and we'll let you know!

Yes. Dearborn Group manages the full process in-house — from initial landscape design with our licensed architects through construction — so you have a single point of contact and accountability from concept to completion.

We design and build custom patios using natural stone, pavers, and other premium materials, tailored to how you plan to use the space — whether that's entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing outdoors. Every patio is part of a broader landscape design, so it fits seamlessly with the rest of your property.

Yes. Our landscape maintenance programs cover seasonal planting bed care, pruning, lawn care, irrigation monitoring, mulching, and seasonal cleanups — keeping your property looking its best throughout the year.

Getting started is easy - Contact us to schedule a consultation! We'll walk your property, discuss your goals, and outline next steps for design, construction, or ongoing maintenance.

We're a single, in-house team from first sketch to final walkthrough. Because we handle landscape design, construction, and ongoing landscape maintenance under one roof, you're never caught between a designer and a separate build crew pointing fingers at each other — one team is accountable for the outcome, start to finish.

We also think beyond the day the project wraps. Every design we create is built with long-term care in mind, so the patios, plantings, and features we install are backed by maintenance programs that keep them looking as good in year five as they did on day one.

In the end, we are one family partnering with another to make your dreams a reality.

We begin with a conversation, not a proposal. Every engagement opens with time spent on your property — understanding how you move through it, how you entertain, how you want to feel when you step outside. From there, we shape a landscape design that reflects your property's character and your own.

A single, dedicated team — from concept to completion. Design, construction, and landscape maintenance live under one roof at Dearborn Group. You will never be handed off between a design firm and a separate build crew. The people who envision your patio, garden, or outdoor living space are the same people who bring it to life.

A refined, unhurried process. Exceptional landscapes are not rushed. We move deliberately through design, material selection, and construction, so every detail — from the placement of a single specimen tree to the pattern of a stone patio — receives the attention it deserves.

Discretion and white-glove communication. You will always know the status of your project without having to ask. We manage the details quietly and thoroughly, so your only role is to enjoy the process.

A relationship, not a transaction. Our work continues long after construction ends. Our maintenance team becomes the steward of your landscape, preserving its beauty through every season, for years to come.

An intimate command of our region. Working exclusively across the northern Chicago suburbs, Milwaukee suburbs, and Lake Geneva area allows us to bring a deep, ground-level understanding of the land, light, and character of the properties we're privileged to work on.
