About Us

R & G Almanza Landscape Inc has been serving the greater Chicago area since 2004, transforming residential, commercial, and municipal properties through comprehensive landscaping and construction services. Our Skokie-based team specializes in hardscaping projects including patios, driveways, retaining walls, and water features, plus cedar fence installation, concrete work, native landscaping, lawn care, and irrigation systems throughout Skokie, Evanston, Wilmette, Glenview, Northbrook, and 20+ North Shore suburbs.

We're a full-service family-owned company—which means you work with one team from initial consultation through final installation and seasonal maintenance. As an ILCA-certified member, we maintain industry standards while operating with the responsiveness and accountability that only family ownership provides.

Our Team

Our experienced crew is led by Raul Almanza Jr., who maintains hands-on involvement in project consultations and site work. With 20+ years serving the North Shore, we've completed thousands of projects ranging from single-service lawn maintenance to complete property transformations involving integrated hardscaping, drainage solutions, and landscape design. We own specialized equipment that allows us to execute complex projects other contractors subcontract out, giving you direct accountability and consistent quality.
