Commercial Maintenance

Clients of Lupfer Landscaping not only enjoy the best maintenance in the industry, but for the same price as a typical company, they get all the sustainable benefits that come with our program. Our commercial program produces long term cost savings, reduced environmental impact, competitive advantages, and increased customer loyalty.

Hardscaping
Accent Walls

Accent walls define a space and separate gardens from turf.  They also create interest and draw your eye to the plantings.

Residential / Maintenance / Perennial Gardens
Perennial Gardens

Imagine attracting butterflies, bees, birds, and dragon flies all summer long. Perennial gardens are now designed for more than just color. We can install a garden to attract any kind of pollinator. Gardens designed specifically for migratory birds, helping the bee population, or providing habitat for butterflies. Best of all, they can be combined to include all of the above. And to top it all off, they come with cards that explain the garden and illustrate the pollinators you should expect to see.

The landscape at Shedd Aquarium has been developed by Christine Nye into a sustainable exhibit for visitors to the Museum Campus. Each garden is a demonstration of how to make choices that increase the sustainable aspects of a site. There is a Rain Garden, Xeriscape Garden and a Wetland Garden demonstrating ways to use water in the landscape in an appropriate way.


There are numerous vegetable gardens inspiring gardeners to add vegetables to their annual and perennial plantings. There are expanses of natural areas which integrate native plants and grasses with nativars to create wildlife habitat and beauty. These spaces require no watering and little maintenance. All these different gardens offer a new way of thinking about the landscape; you can add habitat and save resources at the same time. But each comes with its own maintenance requirements; a challenge only a true gardener would appreciate. All the gardens have interpretation panels that explain to visitors the principals at work. These panels were created to describe the concepts to visitors with the hope of inspiring change.

A great hardscape makes outdoor entertaining more enjoyable and increase the functionality of your landscape. Is the old concrete slab cracked or does the wood deck need a huge amount of maintenance? Then call us so we can update your scape. And these aren’t the old concrete pavers anymore. There are a million options: natural stone of all colors (not just bluestone anymore), seating walls, built in kitchens, lighting, and some form of flame to go with the water feature we install. The sky’s the limit when it comes to this aspect of your property.

A great hardscape makes outdoor entertaining more enjoyable and increases the functionality of your landscape. Is the old concrete slab cracked or does the wood deck need a huge amount of maintenance?  Then it's time for a change and we can help.  There are so many options available, natural stone of all colors, it's not just bluestone anymore.  We do it all; pergolas, seating walls, built in kitchens, lighting, fire pits/tables, and water features! The sky’s the limit when it comes to this aspect of your property.

Fire Pits & Tables

Fire pits come in all shapes and sizes.  Gas or wood burning?  We do them both!  There are so many great material options as well. Let us help you find the best look for your backyard!

Accent Borders & Water Features

Accent borders can be added to patios, walkways and gardens.  They provide contrast and definition. 


There are infinite ways to incorporate water into your landscape. Waterfalls and ponds are the largest option but reflecting pools and pond-less waterfalls can work just as well. Bubbling rocks and fountains will give you the sight and sound of water but subtly is the name of this game.  The rocks are more for the natural garden and the fountains for the formal.  Our favorite is a water course filled with pebbles on the sides and in between a stepper walkway.  Of course, you can capture your rainwater and re-use it in the water feature for the sustainable benefits.

This Riverside residence is used by its owners as a retreat from their hectic schedules. They have two small children and wanted to reduce the amount of chemicals used on the grounds. The family frequently entertained so the landscape was well used and often occupied.

This collaboration between our two companies had two challenges: the clients desire to replicate the landscape of their Miami home and the passing of their personal gardener. The homeowner loved the tropical look and wanted to bring that feel to their Hinsdale home. This influence guided the management and look of the property.  


Sadly, the client's personal gardener, who spent several days a week tending to the beds, unexpectedly passed away and her work had to be picked up during the rush of the spring. Only our best employees could replace the skilled touch of such a talented horticulturalist.The obstacle to meeting these challenges was the clients desire to not participate in the planning or to see (or hear) the work being performed. “Worked alongside the client” does not apply to this job. The scheduling of the crews depended on the travel schedule of the client. Crew sizes, jobs performed, and machines used all varied and depended on when the client was in town or hosting an event.


The front of the house provides a grand entrance and introduces the seasonal planting display. Traditional groundcovers were removed to allow for the color palette to be expanded throughout all of the beds.


Large annual displays accented with perennials achieved the effect desired. Tropical species in the planning beds gave the look and feel the client was expecting.


The estate’s many other features made the job more complex. The fountains, statuary, grill area, and seating arrangements all had to be kept in top condition. The irrigation system was renovated to maximize the use of well water and timed to coincide with maintenance activities.


Containers, both large and small, were used extensively throughout the property in order to accomplish the clients stated goal: “Miami in the Midwest”.


This project was rewarding because the collaboration between the two companies made each one better. Together, we were able to do something that neither of us would have been able to achieve on our own.
