Naperville Landscape Design Services
Bret-Mar Landscape provides Naperville landscape design services that turn a rough idea for your yard into a clear, buildable plan you can see before the first shovel goes in the ground. Our expert team of landscape designers brings years of experience to every plan, studying how your property works and how you want to live in it, then shaping a custom plan that ties your home, plantings, and hardscape into one cohesive outdoor space.
What Our Naperville Landscape Design Services Include
Landscape design is the planning stage that decides whether the finished space feels intentional or improvised. When you engage our full service landscape design, the plan covers the full picture:
Site assessment of sun, poor drainage, clay soil, mature trees, and the features already on your property
Layout and flow that connect the front yard, back yard, and every gathering area
Plant selection chosen for your conditions, our distinct seasons and summer heat, and the local USDA hardiness zone
Material selection, using the highest quality materials for patios, walkways, walls, and other hardscape
Lighting and finishing details, matched to your home's architectural details, that complete the space
Every choice is documented in a plan, so nothing is left to guesswork on install day. The Association of Professional Landscape Designers stresses that strong landscape design balances beauty, function, and site conditions, and that principle guides every plan we produce.
A Design Process Built Around Your Property
Bret-Mar follows a clear three step process, and design sits at the center of it. Our approach stays collaborative from the first conversation through the final install.
Consultation: we walk your property, listen to how you want to use it, and set a realistic scope and budget.
Design phase: our landscape designers translate that conversation into a detailed custom plan, with layout, plant selection, and materials.
Build: our own project team handles the landscape construction, installing the plan exactly as it was designed.
Because the same company designs and builds, the plan you approve is the landscape you get, and one team guides the entire process with no handoff to an outside contractor who never sat in on the design.
Designed Around How You Use Your Yard
No two Naperville properties should look the same, because no two families use their yards the same way. A good design starts with your life, not a template. We design for residential clients with their own unique needs, from young families who want a back yard built for entertaining, with clear sight lines from the patio to the fire pit, to homeowners who want a quiet, private retreat or a low upkeep front yard that still turns heads from the street.
Our landscape designers shape each plan around those priorities, then match the plantings, materials, and layout to your home's style and your budget. The result is a functional outdoor space that fits the way you actually live, turns wasted corners into usable space, and reflects the character of your Naperville neighborhood.
See Your Naperville Landscape Before We Build It
The hardest part of any landscape project is picturing the result from a flat drawing. Our 3D design tools let you walk through your future landscape on screen, adjusting layout, plantings, and materials before construction starts. You make decisions with confidence, and the finished space delivers the outdoor living experience you pictured. Once the design is finalized, our Naperville landscapers handle the full installation.

Design That Works as Hard as It Looks
Good design does more than look attractive. It corrects drainage problems, improves how you move through the yard, frames the best views, protects the natural beauty of your property, and adds to the value of your property. Whether you want refined curb appeal, a private retreat, or a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces, the plan is built to deliver it. The right plan for your Naperville property might center on a paver patio, a water feature, or an outdoor fireplace that anchors the space.
