Serving Chicagoland
for 40 years

“In 1984, Kenny Gallt, a Landscape Architect, founded Foliage Design of Chicago. While his formal education at Cornell University and the University of Michigan taught him that landscapes were about the spaces ‘between the buildings,’ Gallt’s visionary experience soon expanded to include interiors and rooftops. For over four decades, driven by a passion for plants and the environment, Kenny Gallt and his team have shaped some of Chicago’s most iconic landmarks. From the Chicago suburbs to the heart of the city, Foliage Design Chicago has creatively redefined landscapes, establishing itself as a symbol of excellence and innovation.”

Pioneering the Green Roof Revolution in Chicago: Our innovative vision transformed a high-rise rooftop into an urban oasis, elevating landscapes to unprecedented heights.

OUR SERVICES

Hardscape Installation

Hardscape installations encompass the design and construction of non-living elements in a landscape, such as driveways, walkways, fire pits, and retaining walls. These structures enhance aesthetics, functionality, and can be applied to residential, commercial, and public spaces for improved durability and curb appeal.

Landscape Drainage

Landscape drainage involves implementing systems like drain tiles, French drains, and rain gardens to manage water flow on a property. By directing standing water away from problem areas and allowing percolation into the ground, landscape drainage protects soil health, prevents erosion, and safeguards property from flood damage.

Planting

Planting at Foliage Design Chicago crafts thriving  environments with  selections of groundcovers to trees. Through expert soil preparation, mixing of proper amendments, and the right blend of greenery, we transform gardens and spaces into lush, sustainable havens. Experience natural elegance with a start to new plants.

Holiday Decor

Holiday decor by Foliage Design encompasses a wide range of festive decorations, both interior and exterior. From leasing artificial commercial trees to customizing lighting for homes or businesses, the service includes themed designs, installation, maintenance, and storage, ensuring vibrant and eye-catching displays for the holiday season.

Interior Landscaping

Interior landscaping enhances indoor environments with aesthetically pleasing plant installations. Tailored to specific spaces, it creates visual appeal and a healthier atmosphere. Services may include maintenance, design, and the provision of plants, contributing to a cohesive and engaging interior setting.

Kenny and his crew did an incredible job. I provided an idea for a new backyard patio, and let Kenny run with it. Couldn't be happier with the design and the trees he picked out. I will use Kenny again for future landscaping work.

Kenny and his crew were professional and friendly as they assisted us with repurposing plantings that we had to move for a construction project. Based on their creativity and responsiveness, I intend to use Foliage Design Systems Chicago for my next landscaping project.

Kenny, Tim and the crew did a full rehab on our back yard. They installed a dry creek bed for rain water drainage, beautiful shrubs, tree and plants. Best of all, a great patio which we enjoy every day. The design was thoughtful and they worked with us and the Village of Oak Park to meet requirements. All the work was meticulous. Our back yard is now our oasis.

Kenny and Sue were great to work with to get our front and back landscaping done as well as our new deck! They provided us some suggestions and allowed us to tweak it to our preferences. Now our exterior has some character rather than the blank featureless one we had before. The new deck also gives us more usable space so we can enjoy our backyard! They gave us realistic deadlines and let us know what was going on during the process. Couldn't be happier!

Foliage Design Systems did a fantastic job on our landscaping project! They designed and installed a beautiful deck. FDS also provided a professional drainage system to insure a water-free environment around our house. Kenny and Tim were quick, efficient, and came in on time and budget. The best contractor experience we have ever had!
