Landscape Site Planning & Layout in Palatine, IL
Every successful landscape starts with a good plan. BJ's Lawn Service helps homeowners and businesses decide where patios, walkways, planting beds, retaining walls, and trees should go so the finished project looks right, drains properly, and works with the way the property is actually used.
We look at the shape of your yard, sun and shade, slopes and low spots, entrances, and traffic patterns before anything is built. The result is a clear layout that ties each part of the project together and avoids costly changes once installation begins.

Our Site Planning Process
Consultation & Goals
We start by talking through how you want to use your outdoor space, what you like and don't like about it today, and the budget you have in mind.
- Project goals and priorities
- Style and material preferences
- Budget and phasing options

We walk the property to review grades, drainage, sun exposure, existing plants, and structures so the plan is built around real site conditions.

We put together a layout that places patios, walkways, walls, planting beds, and trees where they fit best and work together as one landscape.
