Prairie Edge Landscape was established in 2003 by Steve Friedrich as a residential design/build company serving all of central Illinois. As a registered landscape architect with a degree from the University of Illinois in ornamental horticulture specializing in landscape design, Steve's goal was to create a uniquely personalized landscape experience for the client from conception to completion. With 32 years of design experience, Prairie Edge prides itself in accurately determining the needs and desires of the customer and maximizing the potential of the site thru the design process using the largest and most diverse pallet of plant and stone materials available in the industry.
Whether you want the perfect spot to entertain, an outdoor oasis where you can escape and relax, or simply wish to extend your home and style into the outdoors, Prairie Edge Landscape will custom-design and create outdoor living spaces to please even the most discriminating taste. Whatever you imagine, our landscape architects and designers can design it and our in house landscape construction, custom masonry, landscape lighting, and hardscaping experts can build it. Go big with a full outdoor kitchen complete with built-in barbecue grill and entertainment area where your guests can gather to enjoy food and conversation.
We have discovered that the best designs emerge from a thoughtful and collaborative process that begins with an in-depth understanding of our clients' goals, needs and wishes and fuses those with the objective realities and conceptual potential of each site. Landscape Architecture involves the creative manipulation of the physical environment. The functioning of natural systems defines its practical direction, while art and philosophy provide its inspiration. Each design element represents the synthesis of a unique set of site conditions, the client's personal objectives, our design skills, and centuries of design theory.
Thanks to our many landscape customers and their desire for customized care of their landscape projects Prairie Edge is starting a maintenance division. The maintenance division will provide the primary services of lawn fertilization, mowing and planting bed care. Based on the services selected, we will be making regular on-site quality control visits with full service accounts being visited bi-weekly, individual primary services being visited monthly and an on-site walk thru schedule at the completion of each secondary service in order to insure customer satisfaction.
