Stunning and Sustainable Landscape Installation in the Lincoln Park Neighborhood of Chicago, IL

Let's Get Started!

Crafting Outdoor Living Spaces That Offer

Delight, Connection, and Harmony with Nature

The art of landscape installation requires a balance of aesthetics and functionality, tailored to your lifestyle and integrated with your property's natural and architectural features. At Nathan Wright Landscape Design, we specialize in skillful installations of well-designed outdoor living features, hardscapes, and plantscapes, ensuring your outdoor space is inviting, visually stunning and sustainable.

Building on the rich heritage of Lurie Garden lineage, our installation process reflects the pioneering techniques of Dutch plantsman Piet Oudolf and Midwest plant expert Roy Diblik. We meticulously plan each installation to account for local climate, bloom times, seasonal colors, and year-round appeal.

Our landscape installation services include:

  • Plant selection, sourcing, and placement
  • Custom hardscaping (patios, walkways, retaining walls, and more)
  • Irrigation and drainage systems
  • Erosion control solutions
  • Outdoor living features (fireplaces, kitchens, pergolas, etc.)
  • Landscape lighting

Fostering close collaboration and teamwork, we build trusted relationships with our clients through open, honest communication.

Our landscape architects, designers,  and installation experts work with you to realize your vision by providing detailed estimates and execution plans tailored to meet your expectations.

As part of our comprehensive design, build, and maintain approach, our in-house team offers a complete range of landscaping services for every step of your residential or commercial project—ensuring a seamless transition from concept to reality.

I am so elated to write this review for NWLD. I feel so luck to have found them, and I wish I'd been able to work with them sooner! They have provided the best investment for my home! People are visiting my outdoor space just to see for themselves, because they don't believe my photos! I want to say additionally: as important to me as the exceptional quality of creativity of design and implementation is the caretaking they provide at every step of the way. They were nurturing and worked with me from design to maintenance, and are so responsive when I have questions or further landscape wishes! I've worked with them for the last few years and will continue to do so. They've been so generous and understanding with breaking projects down into separate years to make them financially feasible. And they are so kind and personable, each and every person in the company. They've been a true joy to work with, and I am eager to continue the last phase of my outdoors projects! Thank you, Ken, Hayden, Christine, and Nathan! And all the many others who have helped along the way! Very grateful!

Absolutely thrilled with the work done by Nathan Wright Landscape Design! Their team transformed our drab backyard into a stunning oasis we love to sit in everyday!

The process was creative and collaborative and we loved the recommendations they made. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and the execution and buildout was flawless and on time! We couldn’t be happier with the results – included before and after photos. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

I’ve had only excellent experiences with Nathan Wright’s team for our plant installations. What sets them apart from other landscaping companies I’ve worked with is the customer service.

Peyton and Christine have always been super responsive and pay close attention to our needs. They’re very knowledgeable when it comes to choosing the right plants, and their installation crew always does an incredible job – it’s clear they value their customers and take pride in their work.

Nathan Wright has completely transformed our front and back yard! Could not have worked with a better, more hands on group.

They listened to all of our concerns and wishes, and delivered a space that will be enjoyed and loved for many years to come! If you’re looking for an amazing team to transform your yard for all the better (environmentally & aesthetically) look no further!

Intention, Artistry, and Execution

in a Single Process

With years of experience in Lincoln Park and beyond, we've fine-tuned a process for your landscape design and installation to ensure every detail is accounted for. This is what to expect when you work with us:

Step 1
Step  2
Step  3
Step  4
Step  5
Step  6
Step  7
Step  8
Step 1

Step 1: Get in Touch

Fill out our contact form or call us to schedule a project consultation.

Step  2

Step 2: Introduction Call

In a quick 15-minute call, we’ll get to know you, hear more about your vision, and share how we work. This is also a chance to see if we’re the right fit to design, build, and care for your outdoor space. If it feels like a match, we’ll connect you with the team members best suited to guide your project.

Step  3

Step 3: Discovery Call & Design Proposal

Next, you’ll meet with one of our design experts to explore what’s possible for your outdoor space considering your goals, budget, and timeline. Then you’ll receive a detailed proposal outlining our 3-Step Design Process, projected schedule, and a design fee, typically starting at $3,200.

Step  4

Step 4: Design Development

With your project officially underway, we’ll invite you to contribute inspiration on your personal online design board, helping us tune into your style and preferences. Next, we’ll visit your property to measure, photograph, and note any existing elements you’d like preserved. With these details in hand, we’ll start sketching early design concepts for your future landscape.

Step  5

Step 5: Review Your Preliminary Design

Now for the exciting part—your first look at the vision we’ve created for your outdoor space. During a Zoom meeting with your designer, you’ll review the proposed layout, plant palette, and a preliminary build budget. We’ll gather your feedback and refine the details to ensure the final design aligns perfectly with your goals.

Step  6

Step 6: Finalize Design + Prepare to Build

This is the moment when your design transitions from vision to reality. In a Zoom meeting, we’ll present the polished design and introduce you to the member of our construction team who will help oversee the transformation. You’ll receive a detailed Phase 1 Installation Proposal, including projected costs and schedule. Once you approve and submit your deposit, we’ll reserve your spot on our construction calendar and set the stage for building your new outdoor space.

Step  7

Step 7: Building Your Outdoor Space

Once construction begins, our expert team takes care of everything—from sourcing materials and securing permits to scheduling and site preparation. Throughout the process, your dedicated Project Manager will provide regular updates and be available to answer questions, ensuring you’re informed and confident as your design comes to life.

Step  8

Step 8: Final Walkthrough + Maintenance Planning

Your project concludes with a personal walkthrough of your finished landscape, ensuring every element reflects your vision. You’ll learn how to nurture your space as it grows, and we’ll share how our expert maintenance team can help safeguard its beauty so it continues to thrive for seasons to come.
