Picture stepping outside to find your family gathered around a crackling fire pit, laughing over s’mores. You’ve got a newly paved patio, complete with everything you’ve ever wanted. Whatever vision you have for your outdoor space, Midwest Landscape has the landscaping expertise to bring it to life. For over 15 years, we’ve been transforming Northwest Indiana properties into beautiful, functional landscapes that reflect each homeowner’s unique dreams and lifestyle needs.
Who We Help
At Midwest Landscape, every landscaping project we take on is purpose-driven, combining beauty with functionality. The following illustrates the various ways in which we customize our services to match your particular objectives.
Solving Your Outdoor Problems
- Standing water after every storm? If you’re always having trouble with poor drainage and flooding ruining your property, our smart drainage solutions keep your yard usable year-round, directing water away from problem areas and preventing soggy, unusable spaces.
- Uneven, unusable terrain? Many landscapes have too great a slope to build a gorgeous property. Professional grading levels your property, creating functional areas for play, relaxation, or gardening where none existed before.
- Mulch constantly washing away? It can be frustrating to deal with erosion washing away your mulch. Our erosion control measures protect your investment, keeping soil and materials where they belong while preventing costly replacement.
- Struggling with a dying lawn? No matter what you do, your property is dying. Expert seed and sod installation creates the lush, healthy grass you’ve been dreaming of, using varieties suited to our Midwest climate.
Creating Beauty
- Got a grand vision? You’ve got a brilliant idea to bring your dream space to life. Our 3D design services let you see exactly how your transformation will look before we break ground, using cutting-edge imaging software to bring your ideas into vivid detail.
- Ready to refresh tired landscaping? You’ve done the same thing for years, and now you’re ready for something new. Our renovation services breathe new life into existing gardens and hardscapes, updating designs to match your current style and needs.
- Starting with a blank slate? You’re building your new house, and you’re ready to build your dream landscape. New construction landscaping transforms bare lots into welcoming outdoor havens that complement your home’s architecture.
Enhancing Functionality and Safety
- Want to extend your outdoor season? You love your property, but you wish you could use it more often. Landscape lighting creates safe pathways while highlighting your property’s best features, allowing you to enjoy your space well into the evening hours.
- Seeking privacy and natural beauty? You don’t feel your property is very functional right now. Strategic tree, shrub, and perennial plantings create intimate spaces while adding year-round color and texture.
- Looking to protect your investment? You want to protect what you’ve built. Brick paver edging and decorative rock installations provide clean lines and lasting structure to garden beds and walkways.
The Value of Investing in Your Landscape
The benefits of having professional landscaping go well beyond mere aesthetic appeal. A thoughtfully designed outdoor area can boost the value of your property by as much as 15%, thus giving you immediate equity in your home. Above all, it changes the way you experience your property on a day-to-day basis.
Quality landscaping enlarges the area of your home that you can use outdoors, offering spaces in which to relax, have fun, and spend time with your family. It helps to achieve environmental sustainability by ensuring good drainage, stabilizing the soil, and choosing plants strategically so as to support local ecosystems.

Midwest Landscaping: Unique Challenges, Expert Solutions
Landscaping in Northwest Indiana presents specific challenges that many contractors overlook. Harsh winters, humid summers, and clay-heavy soils can quickly destroy poorly planned landscapes.
We design with these realities in mind. Our plant selections thrive in our climate extremes, our drainage systems handle heavy spring rains, and our installation techniques account for freeze-thaw cycles that can damage improperly installed hardscaping. When you hire us, you get:
- Local roots since 2007: We’ve spent nearly two decades working in Northwest Indiana soil and weather, and we know what lasts here.
- The decision between 2D and 3D design: If you can see the plan clearly, then you’ll be able to make decisions that you’ll be happy with long after the installation has taken place.
- Quick response times: We return calls and get projects scheduled promptly, without leaving you waiting for weeks.
- Honest, transparent quotes: You’ll know what you’re paying for before work begins.
- Native plant knowledge: We choose plants that thrive in our region, which means less watering and less replacement down the road.
- True design-build service: One team handles planning through installation, so nothing gets lost between handoffs.
This regional expertise means your landscape investment will flourish year after year, not just look good for one season. Our care process also continues after the crew leaves. We stay available to answer questions as your plants grow in, and we’re happy to help with adjustments as your needs change over the seasons.

FAQs About Landscaping in Indiana
Do I need a big yard for landscaping to matter?
No, you don’t need a big yard for landscaping to make a significant impact! Even small spaces can be transformed with thoughtful design. Strategic plant placement, creative hardscaping features like fire pits or patios, and proper layout design can maximize any yard’s potential and create your own outdoor paradise.
Can landscaping be done in phases to spread out the cost?
Yes, absolutely! Landscaping projects can definitely be done in phases to spread out the cost and fit your budget. This allows you to tackle priority areas first, like drainage issues or essential plantings, and then add features like patios or fire pits later on.
Will my yard look finished right away, or will it take time to grow in?
Your yard will have an immediate visual impact with hardscaping elements like patios and pathways, while plantings need time to mature. Most landscaping projects show dramatic improvement within 2-4 weeks, but full plant growth typically takes one growing season. Our 3D design process helps you visualize exactly how your finished landscape will look.
How do I keep my yard looking good after landscaping is done?
Maintaining your new landscape involves regular watering schedules, seasonal pruning, and periodic mulching. We design landscapes with durability in mind using premium materials like Unilock pavers that require minimal upkeep.

Have Been Saying About Us
We hired Midwest Landscaping to redo and get rid of all the work in this flower bed. It is very large, and the back side is pretty steep. Weeds all year long, and mulch every 3 years. It is over 24 years old, and we are older too. We were not sure how it would look, especially since there were a lot of perennials, but we needed to do something. The owner was great to work with, and so were the workers. They protected the lawn and picked up all debris. They worked hard and did a great job. We...
Extraordinary job in designing our patio and great customer service.
Shawn and the entire team at Midwest Landscape were outstanding from start to finish. They completely transformed my outdated front yard into a beautiful, functional space. Shawn stood out right away—he was the first to show up to review my ideas and was honest about what would and wouldn’t work. After dealing with other landscapers who missed appointments, never followed up, or lacked basic knowledge, it was a huge relief to work with a team that was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced. They started exactly when promised and delivered exceptional quality work. The project included removing old rock and mulch...
Midwest Landscape created the perfect outdoor living space for our home! The design came to life just as they promised! The entire team was great to work with!
Shawn and his team did a fantastic job with our landscaping project! They were highly professional and punctual, and completed the work quickly. The team was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and the yard looks amazing. Fair pricing, excellent communication, and top-notch results. Will definitely use them again!
We recently had Midwest Landscape install a new front walkway, retaining wall, and steps. From start to finish, we are so impressed with their professionalism. Working with Shawn and Dave on a design was an easy process, and we loved seeing the nighttime view of the design, complete with crickets! The installation team did a fantastic job and worked diligently to make the design come to life. Our previous steps and walkway had become a nightmare that was being held in some places (unsuccessfully) with duct tape. Midwest Landscape changed all that, and now we have a front entrance that...
Shawn and his crew did an awesome job on our back patio. From day one he was responsive and accommodating. He was easy to work with, and had great ideas to create our backyard escape. I can't say enough about how easy things were with the process with Midwest. Our patio was completed last November, but we still had some questions recently regarding landscaping that was done. We reached out to Shawn and even after being done with our project several months ago, he was still very responsive, helpful and accommodating. I am impressed with how this company is run...
Shawn and the rest of the team at Midwest did a fantastic job on expanding our patio. My daughter loved watching them work as well. We plan on working with Midwest on our future patio projects too!
We had a great experience with Midwest Landscape. From the start, their team demonstrated a high level of professionalism—they were communicative, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. What stood out most was how collaborative and patient they were as we refined the design. They really took the time to understand our vision and worked with us to bring it to life without ever making us feel rushed. It’s clear they are very customer-centric and genuinely committed to making sure you’re happy with the end result—they go the extra mile to ensure everything meets (or exceeds) expectations....
Great experience! Fair pricing and quality work. Highly recommend working with them!
