Your local landscaping team
Led by Howard Barg, founder & lead designer, serving Highland Park since 1975.
Howard Barg and Associates has designed and built beautiful outdoor environments across Chicago's North Shore since 1975.
For 50 years, Howard Barg has helped homeowners in Highland Park, Lake Forest, and the surrounding communities turn their properties into landscapes they love. The firm handles every part of the work in house, from the first design drawing to the grading, the hardscape, the plantings, and the lighting.
Our clients come back to us, and refer us to their neighbors, because of how we work. Howard has a real design sense and a deep knowledge of plants, trees, and soils, built over five decades on the North Shore. Every project gets that same care and attention.
We also stand behind what we build. All plant material is backed by a one-year guarantee, and our hardscape projects carry a two-year guarantee.
If you are ready to reimagine your outdoor space, we would love to talk. Call us for a consultation.
