Outdoor Living in Wheaton
Designed for Wheaton homes and the way you live.
Wheaton combines historic homes near downtown with established neighborhoods of larger, tree-filled lots. Both deserve an outdoor space designed with the same care as the house, with materials and proportions that suit the architecture.
Our Goldman project in neighboring Glen Ellyn is a good example of the approach we bring to Wheaton: listen first, keep what already works, and design a bluestone patio, fire feature, water feature and lighting that feel like they were always part of the property.
What we plan for in Wheaton
Mature trees are one of Wheaton’s best features and one of the biggest design constraints. We lay out patios, kitchens and footings to protect root zones and use the canopy for shade and dramatic night lighting.
