Outdoor Living in Hinsdale
Designed for Hinsdale homes and the way you live.
Hinsdale homes set a high bar. Whether it is a historic Georgian or Tudor near downtown or a new custom home on a rebuilt lot, the outdoor space has to carry the same level of detail as the house. That is where most outdoor projects fall short, and it is the first thing we design for.
Many Hinsdale lots are deep and narrow, with mature trees, close neighbors and detached garages that shape how the yard can be used. We plan around sight lines, privacy and the trees you want to keep, then lay out kitchen, dining and lounge zones that feel like part of the house.
What we plan for in Hinsdale
For new construction in Hinsdale, the best time to bring us in is before the builder finishes the grading. Gas, electrical, drainage and footings for pergolas and kitchens are far easier and less expensive to plan in than to add later.

Can VizX design the outdoor space for a new home being built in Hinsdale?
Yes, and earlier is better. We coordinate with your builder or architect so utilities, drainage and footings are planned before final grading.
Can you match materials to an older Hinsdale home?
Yes. We select stone, brick, wood and metal finishes to match the architecture of the home so the new space looks like it was always there.
Do I need a permit for an outdoor living project in Hinsdale?
Many structures, gas lines, electrical work and larger hardscapes require a permit from the Village of Hinsdale. We prepare the design drawings and help coordinate the permit process as part of the project.
