Visions brought to life, 5 things to do in June, the ultimate culinary retreat, Keepin' It Green on July 18, Sue Ryba on WGN, mosquito control, botanical containers, and notes from the President's desk.



We often say that Bertog Landscape brings visions to life. This means transforming our clients' wish lists into beautiful, liveable outdoor spaces.
Working with you, we select plants and hardscapes that complement your lifestyle and home. Our team manages every detail, from design through installation.
The result is a personal retreat built for relaxing and entertaining. This is your vision brought to life.

Everybody always hangs out in the kitchen. And who wouldn't want to hang out here? It's the ultimate experience for intimate dinners and family gatherings.
High-energy stainless steel appliances and durable stone finishes integrate into the surrounding landscape.
A linear pergola adds definition and complements the home's exterior. Outdoor lighting, hanging planters and colorful textiles bring the inside out for comfort any time of day.



Sue Ryba recently showed viewers how to mix vegetable, fruit and herb plants into permanent perennial beds and seasonal pots during the WGN Midday News.
Integrating food crops into existing beds fills empty spots with new color and texture as they blend nicely with other plants. This practice gives you a great backyard harvest and creates a working ecosystem that supports pollinators.

June doesn't arrive quietly. It rolls in on the backs of fireflies, the hum of lawn mowers and that first evening when the air is warm enough to stay outside just a little longer than you planned.
There's something almost ceremonial about June. The solstice marks the year's longest day — a small, quiet gift from the calendar — and with it comes that rare permission to exhale. To step off the treadmill, wander outside and actually be somewhere instead of rushing to it.
The garden is lush, the evenings stretch on forever and nature seems to be in on the secret: this is the good part.
Step outside. Take stock of what you've built. That outdoor space — wherever it is — is more than square footage. It's where conversations linger after dinner, morning coffee tastes better and kids remember staying up too late catching fireflies.
If your space is already humming along, wonderful. If something's missing — a garden that invites butterflies and bees, a pollinator bed that turns heads or a rose corner that makes the whole yard smell like a secret — this is the moment to act. We'd love to help.
Invest now to enjoy every June to come. Let's turn your vision into something you can step out to every morning. We'll design it, install it and make sure it earns its place as a destination where you find peace and relaxation.
The season is generous right now. Don't let it pass as just another month on the calendar. Let's "bring your vision to life."
Keepin' it green! Bob Bertog
