Sustainable landscape design and gardening in Evanston near Wilmette

what we do - approach

At J. Siegel Designs, Inc., landscape design approximates choreography. We provide a customized process that revitalizes interior and exterior ground. This results in gardens uniquely crafted to embody both your wishes and our expertise. Our firm helps shape landscape into kinetic sculpture that invites participants to move through multi-dimensional time and space.

We are known for highly artistic designs, planted and built with attention to avant-garde possibilities.

We conceive landscape as metaphor and believe gardens reflect both inner and outer concerns.

Ecological and socially conscious methods are embedded in our practice.

Our gardens engage the senses. They move beyond color into texture, movement, fragrance, and imagination. They provide wildlife, art, health, spirituality, companionship and a joyfully measured passage of time.

Due to our constant dialogue with progressive designers and artists, we are continually inspired by avant-garde ideas.

Due to our teaching and traveling, we are able to incorporate quality concepts from some of the world’s best gardens and landscapes into your design.

Due to our work with innovative nurseries and horticulturalists, each year we integrate new plants into an already exciting plant palette.

Due to our involvement in ecologically aware circles, we are up to date with the latest means for respecting the environment.

We hope your experience with us will spur you to explore the world beyond your immediate landscape with heightened perception and respectful stewardship.
