how we create a beautiful, low-maintenance landscape that is resistant to rabbits and deer

designing a landscape in naperville, plainfield, batavia, geneva, wheaton, downers grove, lisle, or any of chicago’s western suburbs means working with nature—not just the soil and climate, but also the local wildlife. rabbits and deer are common visitors in these areas, and while they’re part of the natural charm, they can be tough on your plants. the good news? you don’t have to sacrifice beauty or function. by using smart planting strategies and thoughtful design, you can build a yard that’s both gorgeous and protected.

our team specializes in sustainable landscape design and construction that’s tailored to the unique conditions of the western suburbs. one of our most requested services is our rabbit and deer tolerant plant list, which helps homeowners choose perennials, shrubs, and groundcovers that these animals are less likely to eat. by choosing plants that are naturally resistant to browsing, you reduce the need for chemical repellents and fencing—keeping your yard looking clean and natural.

but functional doesn’t mean boring. we also design landscapes that evolve with the seasons. by rotating select annuals and refreshing plant beds each year, we keep your landscape fresh and eye-catching while preserving its structure and core plantings. it’s a balance of consistency and creativity—making your space feel unique year after year, without starting from scratch.

plus, we can prioritize pollinator-friendly plants that support bees, butterflies, and birds while still deterring deer and rabbits. this creates a healthy, low-maintenance landscape that adds curb appeal and value to your home while benefiting the local ecosystem. whether you live in naperville or neighboring suburbs like geneva or wheaton, our custom landscape plans are designed to thrive in your specific environment.

if you're ready for a landscape that looks great, performs well, and resists hungry wildlife, we’re here to help. contact us today to schedule a consultation and explore your options.
