For residents and businesses across the Illinois region looking to transform their outdoor space into a true extension of their home, the need for a skilled general contractor who specializes in exterior environments is paramount. American Gardens, LLC, located in Elmhurst, IL, is a premier firm that functions as a full-service general contractor dedicated exclusively to landscape architecture, construction, and ongoing management. They are recognized not just as a simple Landscape designer but as a comprehensive Design and Build firm, capable of handling everything from initial conceptualization to the final installation of complex outdoor features.

Since 1991, American Gardens, LLC has been delivering high-quality, customized landscaping services throughout the Chicagoland area, building a reputation for excellence, creativity, and craftsmanship. Their expertise bridges the gap between artistic vision and construction reality, ensuring that every project, whether a new Back Patio or a complete Backyard Project, is structurally sound, aesthetically pleasing, and perfectly suited to the unique conditions of an Illinois property.

Customer feedback consistently highlights the value of their creative and professional approach. Clients praise the patience and design ingenuity of the team members, such as Anthony and Tom, who listen to concerns and deliver bespoke designs. One reviewer noted how Tom's input on what would "work in our area and what would fit with the style of our house was invaluable," particularly when designing two new separate patio areas in an "awkward" side yard. This level of personalized, problem-solving design service sets them apart.

Crucially, as a true general contractor in the outdoor space, American Gardens, LLC is tenacious in seeing a project through all necessary hurdles. One customer specifically appreciated the team's "perseverance" when the "township gave him a hard time regarding permits," demonstrating their commitment to full project management and compliance—a critical service in the often complex permitting landscape of the Chicagoland suburbs. Their ability to handle the entire scope, including Driveway or walkway paving, removal of existing structures, and extensive sod installation, makes them a highly efficient and reliable choice for substantial outdoor renovations.

American Gardens, LLC is centrally located to serve the high-end residential and commercial communities of Elmhurst and the broader Chicagoland region, including areas like Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, and Oak Brook. Their strategic location allows for efficient management of construction crews, materials, and timely service calls for their extensive range of maintenance programs.
