The best landscapes aren't simply viewed—they're experienced.

Landscape Concepts Management designs and builds commercial outdoor living spaces that expand the way people can experience a property. From outdoor kitchens and rooftop gardens to decks, bridges and landscape lighting, our team creates thoughtfully designed environments that bring together beauty, functionality and lasting visual appeal.

Whether you're enhancing an existing property or incorporating outdoor amenities into a larger landscape renovation, LCM can help transform underutilized areas into inviting spaces that add another dimension to your property.

Outdoor Spaces Designed Around How People Use Them

An outdoor environment should have a purpose.

At a multifamily community, it may become a place for residents to gather. At a corporate property, outdoor areas can provide an attractive extension of the campus environment. Hospitality and senior living properties may have entirely different objectives.

LCM approaches each project around the needs of the individual property.

Our Landscape Design philosophy combines creativity, practicality and sustainability, with licensed landscape architects and certified field professionals working together to create spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Our Outdoor Living & Amenity Capabilities

Outdoor Kitchens

Outdoor kitchens can create a distinctive focal point within a larger outdoor environment.

LCM specifically includes custom outdoor kitchens within its Landscape Construction capabilities. Our team can consider these features as part of the broader landscape so the finished space feels cohesive rather than added as an afterthought.

Rooftop Gardens

Rooftops can present opportunities to introduce landscape experiences in places where traditional ground-level space may be limited.

Rooftop gardens are included among LCM's documented outdoor living capabilities, and LCM's construction FAQ materials also specifically address work in rooftop environments.

Decks

Decks can help define usable outdoor areas and connect different elements of the landscape.

LCM includes decks within its Outdoor Living Spaces construction offering. When incorporated into a larger landscape plan, they can become part of a cohesive environment rather than an isolated structural element.

Bridges

Bridges can serve both functional and visual purposes within larger landscapes. LCM specifically lists bridges among the custom features available through its Outdoor Living Spaces services.

Landscape Lighting

The landscape experience doesn't have to end when daylight fades.

LCM's Outdoor Living Spaces offering includes landscape lighting, allowing lighting to become another element within the overall outdoor design.

Create More Value From the Outdoor Areas You Already Have

Commercial properties often contain outdoor areas with unrealized potential.

Thoughtful landscape design can help turn those spaces into purposeful environments that contribute more to the property.

Improve usability. Transform overlooked outdoor areas into spaces designed with a clear purpose.

Create inviting gathering areas. Thoughtfully planned outdoor environments can give residents, employees, guests or visitors additional ways to experience the property.

Enhance visual appeal. Landscape architecture, plantings, hardscape and specialty features can work together to create a more polished environment.

Strengthen the overall property experience. Outdoor spaces can become memorable elements that distinguish one property from another.

Connect landscape and architecture. Thoughtful design helps outdoor amenities feel integrated with the buildings and surrounding property.

More Than Outdoor Living: A Complete Landscape Environment

An outdoor living space rarely consists of one element.

Hardscape may establish the foundation. Plant material softens and defines the environment. Lighting changes how the space feels after dark. Trees and shrubs add structure. Seasonal plantings introduce color. Irrigation helps support the surrounding landscape.

LCM brings these disciplines together.

Our broader Landscape Construction capabilities include hardscaping and masonry, water features and drainage, retaining and stabilization systems, native landscaping and specialty installations in addition to outdoor living spaces.

That breadth allows the outdoor space to be considered as one connected environment.

From Initial Concept to Finished Space

LCM provides both Landscape Design and Landscape Construction, allowing outdoor living projects to move from concept toward installation within one coordinated landscape team.

Our established design process begins with an on-site consultation and can progress through concept design, design development, construction documentation and permitting depending on project scope.

Once a concept is selected, detailed plans can identify hardscape materials and plant specifications in preparation for pricing and installation.

LCM's in-house approach is designed to maintain communication, quality and continuity from design through installation.

Outdoor Living Spaces for Commercial & Community Properties

Outdoor environments can create value across many of the markets LCM serves.

For multifamily and condominium communities, inviting outdoor spaces can contribute to the resident experience. For corporate campuses, they can enhance the larger workplace environment. For hospitality properties, the landscape is part of the guest experience. And for senior living communities, LCM's existing positioning emphasizes safe, accessible and peaceful outdoor spaces that enrich residents' surroundings.

LCM also serves commercial offices, retail and mixed-use properties, healthcare and institutional facilities, municipalities and other managed properties.

Designed Today. Cared for Tomorrow.

LCM can continue supporting the surrounding landscape after construction is complete.

Our Commercial Landscape Maintenance program includes turf management, irrigation maintenance, seasonal services, applications, water management and seasonal color.

That provides an important connection between creating an outdoor environment and maintaining the landscape around it as the property matures.

For property managers, it means design, construction and long-term landscape care can remain connected through one landscape partner.

Commercial Outdoor Space Design Across Chicagoland

Landscape Concepts Management serves properties throughout Chicagoland, supported by locations in Grayslake, Aurora and Chicago, along with a Bristol location serving Kenosha County.

Our combination of design, construction and ongoing maintenance allows LCM to approach outdoor environments with both the finished vision and the long-term needs of the property in mind.
