Welcome to Bret-Mar Landscape, Illinois’ premier landscape company. Our mission is to enhance the beauty and value of every client’s property while exceeding their expectations every step of the way. We are committed to integrity in all matters of business—from fair pricing to the highest performance standards. This means committing to action the values that guide the landscape industry toward the
highest ethical standards:
•Honesty and integrity
•Respect for our employees and their families
•Respect for our customers and others with whom we do business
•Excellence in our work
•A sense of responsibility to our community and our environment
We feel it is important to build relationships with customers and take sincere interest in meeting individualized needs. We can help plan the vision you want while never losing sight of practical considerations and budgets. Once the plans are completed, you can choose to engage Bret-Mar to perform the entire installation or just selected portions of it. Owners Kurt and Sharon Marrin met at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Following graduation they both obtained jobs working in the landscape industry. In 1985 Kurt and Sharon married and soon decided it was time to start their own business which is now known as Bret-Mar Landscape. At first, Kurt and Sharon operated out of their home in Mt. After a few jobs were completed, word began to spread about the excellent work and talent of these two young landscape architects. Design and installation took precedence over maintenance and the company continued to grow. In 1996 Kurt and Sharon purchased a farm house with five acres. This is where Bret-Mar still operates today. The farm house has been restored into an office and the five acres has become a great space for display gardens and a nursery. A Bret-Mar landscape is not so much a signature of Bret-Mar, but rather a reflection of the dreams of our customers. You’ll find there is a difference when you are dealing with landscape professionals that design and install your landscape. Few companies have the resources (our own 5 acre nursery) and experience (over 39 years) to help guide you through an experience you’ll actually enjoy. Anything not grown on our site is purchased throughout the US and brought into our nursery for selection by clients. Our services include:
◾Residential Landscape Design and Installation
