Naperville Landscapers
Bret-Mar Landscape is a family owned team of Naperville landscapers who design, build, and care for outdoor spaces across Chicago's western and southwest suburbs. With years of experience and second generation owners at the helm, the same expert team that shows up for your first consultation stays with your property for years, so the people who plan your landscape are the people who plant it and maintain it.
The People Behind Every Naperville Landscape
Bret-Mar has served Chicagoland homeowners since 1985, and the business still runs on the family that built it. Ashley leads the company as President with a degree in Landscape Architecture and Business, and she serves on the Board of Directors for Landscape Illinois. Licensed landscape architects Kurt and Sharon guide the design and horticulture side, and Kurt runs an in-house nursery where the plants for your property are grown and cared for before they ever reach your yard. Adam manages operations and field execution, keeping every Naperville project on schedule and built to plan.
Behind the owners stands a trained crew of skilled landscapers who handle the hands-on work, from grading and soil prep to running heavy equipment, planting, and hardscape construction. You work with the same landscape company from start to finish, not a rotating cast of subcontractors, and that structure keeps project management tight and communication clear.
A Crew of Landscapers Naperville Homeowners Rely On
Great outdoor spaces come down to the people doing the work. Our field crews bring craftsmanship, attention to detail, and clear communication to every Naperville property, and they treat your home the way they would treat their own. Clients tell us the quality work shows in the finish: clean edges, healthy plantings, and hardscape that sits right and holds up. When you hire a professional landscaper who does this every day, the result looks intentional and lasts.
Naperville landscapes carry their own demands. Heavy clay soil needs thoughtful preparation, mature trees shape how a property drains and shades, and our distinct seasons swing from summer heat and drought stress to hard winters. Our crews read these conditions, correct drainage problems and problem areas before they spread, and build for the full growing season, so your landscape performs in every season rather than just looking good on install day.
The National Association of Landscape Professionals recommends hiring a licensed, insured, and established landscape contractor, and Bret-Mar meets that standard on every project we take on in Naperville.
Ongoing Care That Keeps Your Landscape Thriving
A landscape is a living investment, and it looks its best when the same team that built it keeps caring for it through every growing season. Many Naperville clients stay with Bret-Mar long after the install is done, and some have worked with us on project after project for well over a decade. That continuity brings a personal touch, and it means the crew already knows your property, your plantings, and your goals. Our seasonal maintenance keeps Naperville landscapes healthy year round:
Lawn care services, from routine mowing and weekly mowing to edging and turf health, tuned to the local climate
Fall cleanup and leaf removal that clear beds and lawns before winter
Seasonal cleanups that ready your landscape for each new season and protect plantings through the cold months
Fine garden maintenance to keep plant beds, borders, and plantings looking sharp
Mulch installation that protects roots, cuts moisture loss, and finishes beds cleanly
Shrub planting, bush trimming, and pruning to hold structure and shape
Regular maintenance programs matched to your property, for lasting peace of mind

What Our Naperville Landscapers Deliver
Our crews handle the full scope of residential landscape services, from a single bed refresh to a complete new landscape. Our landscape designers shape the plan, and the three step process stays simple: a consultation to understand how you live, a custom plan built around your property, and a build handled by our own team from start to finish.
Landscape design and installation for front walkways, back yards, and whole-property transformations
A paver patio, retaining wall, or other hardscape that adds function and long-lasting beauty
A water feature or fire pit that turns a back yard into a place for outdoor gatherings
Plant beds, ornamental grasses, and the right plants chosen for your soil and light
Seasonal plantings and rotations that lift your property's curb appeal
Every element works toward the same goal: real landscape features with genuine aesthetic appeal that add to the value of your property.
Homeowners who want a fully planned outdoor space can explore our Naperville landscape design services, and those planning a larger, more complex property often start with Naperville landscape architecture.
For clients extending their outdoor living space, our crews also build custom Naperville outdoor kitchen design projects.
