Expert Stone Work in Barrington, IL

Stone work from Russel Lokun Landscape and Design gives Barrington Hills properties a structured, lasting outdoor presence. We handle hardscape installation and repair across a full range of stone features, including retaining walls, stone patios, walkways, steps, and decorative accent work. Barrington Hills estates sit on large lots with varied terrain, grade changes, and mature tree lines. Those site conditions call for stone work that holds its shape through Illinois freeze-thaw cycles and heavy seasonal rain. We assess each property's grade, drainage, and existing landscape before any stone is set. That process keeps walls plumb, surfaces level, and water moving away from your home. Whether you need a new stone patio off the back of your home, a retaining wall to manage a slope, or repairs to existing stonework that has shifted or cracked, we build to the specific demands of your property. Contact us to schedule a site visit.

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

I couldn’t be more pleased! Russel looked over the patio area and quickly evaluated what needed to be done. His staff began the task of demolition and within 3 days the task was accomplished. Russel is very knowledgeable and has a respectful staff and so easy to work with. I highly recommend him!

Our courtyard was an overgrown mess when we bought the house. Now it is a lovely area perfect for enjoying the outdoors with worry-free pavers installed by Russ Lokun. Russ assisted us with helpful design and paver brick ideas. His crew showed up on time, cleared away all remnants of the old courtyard and installed a brand new one -- including an heated pathway to melt the snow. (We have not had snow to test the mat's effectiveness yet.) Russ was recommended by our new neighbors and we have no reason to regret our choice. Russ is a pleasant fellow to deal with and his crew is friendly and professional. A small hands-on business that does an exceptional job start to final inspection.

We hired Russ for our backyard patio and landscaping project, and we're thrilled with the results. Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. The team kept the worksite clean and organized, minimizing disruptions. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and prompt responses to our questions. Russ and his team transformed our backyard into a beautiful space that we are beyond excited to use. Highly recommend for their exceptional service and quality work!

Russel designed and installed a paver patio for us. We are happy with the end results and overall look of the patio. Russel also planted trees to several spots in the backyard to enhance our landscape. Overall we are happy with the work and will hire Russel for future landscape design projects:
