Alex Head	Since 1991, I have provided landscape services to the North Shore of Chicago. I was trained in horticulture at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.  I am also an ISA Certified Arborist. My company, Alex Head Landscapes, was begun primarily as a landscape maintenance company, but my services have grown significantly over the years as my education and hands-on experience has continued.  I approach each job from a horticulturist's point of view - determining the correct plants for the site while still maintaining the integrity of the design. I have worked for eight years in the green industry for a large rewholesale nursery.  This has provided me with an in-depth knowledge of plants, yet I am always striving to learn more and to experiment.  Plants are fun!  Landscapes should reflect your personality and explore beyond the 'cookie-cutter' plantings that so many of us gaze upon every day.
Sarah Westlund	I find inspiration every day in the natural world we live in: frost clinging to leaves in the pre-dawn haze; the bravery of tulips as they push through the cold spring soil to reach the warming sun. The natural cycle of birth-life-death as we experience our growing seasons. It takes vision and a great sensitivity to client and site to create gardens that are lasting compositions of light and shadow, color and texture. I believe that a thoughtfully designed garden can change the relationship our clients have with their home and landscape, and I strive to create living environments that are in harmony with the existing ecology of the landscape.  Above all, the landscape scheme must meet the needs and expectations of the client while highlighting the beauty of the plants and the thoughtfulness of the design.
A Few Members of Our Team	We have a dedicated team that takes great pride in their workmanship.  Most of our workers have been in the landscape/nursery industry for their entire career - and this shows in our quality of work and in the details.  They apply their vast in-the-field knowledge to each landscape installation.   We appreciate, respect and reward our team members for working so hard to create wonderful landscapes for our clients.
