WHAT WE DO
Leading Chicagoland Landscaping Architecture firm bringing award winning design combined with the passion of art to life for every client.
Joe Salerno is a landscape designer and event planner who loves to collaborate with interior designers to create a seamless transition from the interior of a home to its surrounding landscape. Through the creative staging of water features like ponds and fountains, he provides breath-taking views from the interior that enhance both the indoor and outdoor experience. He extends the living space to the outdoors with functional features like outdoor kitchens and outdoor fireplaces.
Joe captures the lifestyle and personality of a family, and then moves the earth and waters to make it fit their plans. Once Salerno has worked his magic on their landscapes, his clients invariably want to share it, by hosting some kind of celebration. This has expanded his business into yet another service, that of event planning.
Joe has a natural talent for staging a great party. From finding the right chef, band, wait staff and more, Salerno’s planning expertise and attention to detail mean that his clients can not only relax in their very own paradise, they can be a guest at their own party! “I get a vision from the architecture of the home and interview my clients just as they interview me. I get a feel for their family, business and entertaining needs and work within the parameters of our budget to create the most optimal space.”
Customer loyalty has proven to be a true testament to the high level of service Joe and his team deliver. His clients continue to call on him as their design needs change because, as Salerno puts it, “We evolve along with our clients’ needs.” There is a passionate energy in Joe’s work—it’s larger-than-life, like Salerno himself!
