Case Studies

While Bruss Landscaping is typically brought in at the beginning of a project, in this case an extensive and beautiful hardscape was already in place. We were given the delightful task of adding plantings to soften the hardscape and bring elements of the woodland setting into the outdoor living spaces.

I met this client at a local newcomer’s club town meeting where I was asked to speak. They had recently moved into a newer house in Glen Ellyn. The current house fit their inside needs but not too many of their outside needs. The largest issue was no direct access from the house to the backyard. Not an ideal way of enjoying the beautiful wooded backyard.

Bruss rejuvenated this young couple's back yard by redesigning it for maximum function and sophisticated visual interest.

A contemporary-style, steel and wood pergola built over a gas fire pit provides a cozy family gathering place while echoing the modern design of the home’s interior.

Bruss Landscaping designed and constructed this beautiful backyard retreat for a home in Wheaton, IL. This landscape design project included a large modern fire pit, updated patio hardscaping, and a convenient outdoor kitchen area. This backyard landscaping design is perfect for hosting friends and family for summer BBQs and fall bonfires.

Bruss Landscaping combined modern hardscaping design and eye-catching elements into this Glen Ellyn landscape design project. With over 700 square feet, the homeowners maximized the usable area of their backyard. Featuring a large grassy play area, a large patio for entertaining, and an intimate upper patio for grilling and small gatherings. What was once too small and impractical is now a stunning space for every occasion!

This Hinsdale, IL landscaping project was a new construction home built by one of the best home builders in the area. We worked for this client at their previous home and were asked to modify and expand the landscaping installed at their new home. We added walkways, trees for screening, low voltage lighting, and many other smaller plants. The result truly gave them the dream property they had always envisioned.

It is always exciting when a house needs a full facelift. A landscape renovation can make a real difference in the aesthetic of the house. For this Wheaton Landscaping project, we designed a new enlarged front walk, a sitting area in the walkway, and landscape lighting throughout the front yard. The result was amazing and looked truly beautiful at night.
