I met with two other companies before hiring Russel to replace my 80+ year old concrete patio and walkways with pavers. Very straight forward with his approach and helpful with suggestions and options, his pricing was very competitive and fair compared to the other quotes I got and the craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. His crew was top notch with no chaos or bs. Definitely recommend this company and will be calling them for any future projects

Our Story Landscapes built with
Landscapes built with
care and craft
Russel Lokun Landscape and Design was built on a simple foundation: a genuine love for working with plants and pavers. Russel started this company because outdoor spaces matter. A well-drained yard, a solid brick patio, a retaining wall that holds for decades — these things change how homeowners live and feel about their property.
Russel runs every project himself, from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. There is no handoff to a crew you have never met. When you call, you reach the person doing the work. That start-to-finish ownership keeps the quality consistent and the communication clear.
The work covers a wide range of outdoor needs. Whether a yard has standing water after every rain, a patio that has settled and cracked, or bare soil that needs sod and fresh planting, Russel brings the skills to handle it. Services include drainage solutions, brick patio installation and repair, brick paving, stone work, retaining walls, grading, sod, planting, tree and shrub removal, and landscape lighting.
Russel Lokun Landscape and Design serves homeowners and property managers across the northwest and north suburbs of Chicago. The service area includes Barrington Hills, Arlington Heights, Barrington, Inverness, Lake Forest, Wilmette, Schaumburg, Palatine, Glenview, North Barrington, Park Ridge, Northbrook, Mount Prospect, and Buffalo Grove.
Working locally means Russel understands the soil conditions, drainage patterns, and seasonal demands that are specific to this region. That local knowledge shows up in every grading plan, every planting choice, and every paver installation.

How We Work
What you can count on
Owner on Every Job
Russel works directly with you from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. You always know who is on your property and who to call.
Hardscape Precision
Brick patios, retaining walls, and stone work are laid with attention to grade, drainage, and long-term stability. No shortcuts in the base work.
Drainage Done Right
Standing water and poor grading cause real damage over time. We identify the source and correct it before planting or paving begins.
Clean Plant Selection
Trees, shrubs, and sod are chosen to fit your soil and light conditions. We remove what needs to go and plant what will actually thrive.
Outdoor Lighting Installs
Landscape lighting extends how long you enjoy your yard and adds visibility after dark. Fixtures are placed to highlight your hardscape and plantings.
Straightforward Communication
You get a clear scope before work starts and honest updates as the project moves forward. No surprises, no unanswered calls.
