Basic Landscapes

Founded on the premise that homeowners needed an alternative to the standard 'mow and blow' landscape operations that are common in the industry, Ron Levinson, president of Basic Landscapes, inc and a 38 year veteran of the nursery and landscape industry, began offering landscape design and consulting services in 1999 in the near western suburbs of Chicago.

Measurements, photos and notes collected during the initial consultation phase are translated into an accurate digital 3d scale model of your home. We'll apply basic landscape design principles such as function dictates form, emphasize the use of simple, flowing lines to create elegant 'bones', the hardscape elements that help define the space we're creating, such as entry walks, driveways, that new patio you were thinking of.

When it's time to spruce up your property, whether it's a simple planting renovation or a detailed high style outdoor room for entertaining, make Basic Landscape your first and last call. We offer landscape design, hardscape construction, lighting and planting services for your home in Chicago's Western Suburbs.

On top of all manner of built elements, your plants need to survive weather extremes, co-exist with the built environment and with the right attention, thrive. Our team can give you the thick, lush turf you've always wanted with weekly mowing, properly timed fertilization, weed control, grub control, as well as core aeration and seed to combat soil compaction and normal wear and tear.
