Trends in Landscape Design

Outdoor amenities continue to be the hot trend in the commercial market. These include trendy urban gathering spaces for lunch and small group meetings. BE’s award winning Landscape Design Team can assist you with developing a comfortable “fresh air” work space.
Our talented landscape architecture staff can assist you with creative and vibrant designs.
Mike Teiber, Plainfield Branch Manager, produces amazing video simulations for potential space development.

John Ploss, Senior Project Manager and Landscape Architect has worked with Bruce Church, BE’s President, since 1991. He has designed and installed beautiful landscapes across Chicagoland. His favorites include: the Lakeside Terrace at Covenant Living at Windsor Park, a residential property in Harvard, multiple campus landscape upgrades and renovations at Rosalind Franklin University, roof top at 5600 Sheridan, Chicago and the outdoor plaza for the Lazzardo Museum in Oak Brook.
Rendered design plans, graphics, videos and simulations are available from our design teams. These gorgeous visuals provide clarity on design and construction intent.


Illustrated photos provide a real time perspective visual of a landscape space. Many properties have used these boards for display in their gathering spaces for tenants to see upcoming landscape developments.
We have also created some beautiful residential landscapes over the years. We create warm and welcoming entrances for a residential property along with usable entertainment spaces. We design and build beautiful custom outdoor kitchens.
