26 years building outdoor spaces in Lake County
Landscape Hardscape Creations is family owned and based in Vernon Hills. We started as a landscape company — plantings, grading, sod — and grew into hardscapes because clients kept asking us to build the patio too. That order matters: the planting plan and the stonework get designed together, by the same people who will be on site when it's built.
We don't sell through a call center or hand your project to a subcontractor. A designer walks your property, prices the work, and stays accountable through the final walkthrough. Most of our work comes from neighbors of past clients — which is the only marketing that has ever really worked for us.
How we work
26 years in these towns
Same family, same crews, working Lake County since 2000. Most of our work comes from neighbors of past clients.
Landscape company first
The planting plan isn't an afterthought bolted onto a patio — it's what makes the finished space feel right.
The base is the job
Proper excavation, compaction in lifts and real drainage. It's invisible, and it's the reason our patios still look right a decade later.
One crew, start to finish
No subcontractor handoffs. The people who design it are accountable for how it's built.
5.0 average from local homeowners
The crew was fantastic. We had a fairly complicated grade to deal with and everything turned out great. On time, polite, and they cleaned up every night.
Beautiful patio and retaining wall. Professional, thorough, extremely kind, and the planting beds they added completely changed the yard.
Great communication from the first design meeting to the final walkthrough. Everyone we dealt with was helpful and very responsive.
Found them because two neighbors used them. So glad we called — the new patio and sod look better than we pictured.
