What People Say
"The custom terrace in our condo, which was originally designed by Chicago Specialty Gardens, has been a source of enjoyment for us over the past 17 years. We collaborated with their team for seasonal maintenance and the arrangement of summer and fall plantings in our 12 window boxes. However, in 2018, our building underwent significant renovations which required the demolition of our terrace. In light of this, we consulted with Phil and his design team from Chicago Specialty Gardens to create a more contemporary space that would include a kitchen, given that my husband is a chef. Additionally, we sought to ensure easy access to the terrace in case of any future issues with our building. The team exceeded our expectations by designing a truly incredible space. I have attached before and after images for you to see. The living area spans approximately 600 + square feet, complete with a kitchen equipped with a GRILL, sink and counters, as well as a dining room and a living space. We also have a Tucci umbrella to provide shade from the sun. Following the harsh Chicago winters each year, we eagerly anticipate the installation of our annual plantings by the Chicago Specialty Gardens team. Their service has been exceptional, and we couldn't be more pleased with our terrace. In fact, they have become like family to us."
"CSG has been a key partner in our outdoor lives since 1997! When we lived in a single family home in Ravenswood, CSG beautified our front and back yards with structures, walkways, a garden and plantings appropriate to the style of the home (vintage) and with respect to sun/shade areas. Now, we are in a condo with fabulous 4th floor decks. CSG made those gorgeous, too and far more livable by adding a retractable awning and a self-flushing doggie relief area that saves us countless trips down/up 4 flights of stairs with our 3 pups. Especially appreciated late at night and early in the morning. The team is creative, responsive and collaborative. We've had so many compliments on their designs and work. Highly recommended!"
"We’re very happy our choice to work with CSG to build out our patio area. Their office, construction, and design teams are all great. The job itself went smoothly and faster than originally planned. We recommend them highly!"
