As it gets chillier and you reflect on the spring and summer, are you wishing you spent more time enjoying your outdoor living space? If so, you’re not alone. Many people tell us that they don’t spend nearly as much time in their outdoor space as they’d like, and it’s usually because the space just doesn’t meet their wants and needs. If you’re looking to do an outdoor living renovation in Spring 2025, here are 5 things to do now to make sure you’re ready!

Do you love those behind the scenes shows where you get to follow along as a renovation takes place? We’ve got the next best thing – join Carlos as he walks us through the creation of a suburban oasis in Lisle for our clients Scott and Claudine. As an added bonus, hear from Scott and Claudine themselves regarding what they were looking for, how they use the space, and their experience working with Montano’s Landscaping.

If you ask anyone in the Montano family what the driving force was in 1992 when the business started with a used truck and a lawn mower, they will all give you the same answer – Maria. Juan may have been the one driving that truck and doing the work making people’s lawns beautiful, but Maria’s encouragement and support was the special sauce. Join us on a drive down memory lane as we share the Montano’s Landscaping story.
