Plants that thrive in fall and winters too? Yes, please! Miscanthus, also known as Maiden Grass or Silver Grass, is a standout choice for adding texture and movement to any landscape. Its tall, graceful blades and feathery plumes create a dynamic, eye-catching feature that sways in the wind, offering year-round interest. Its flowers emerge as silky tassels and mature to fluffy plumes. In the fall, its foliage turns stunning shades of gold and bronze, making it a perfect seasonal focal point. The seed heads provide winter interest. This ornamental grass reaps new growth later in spring. Miscanthus is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and versatile, thriving in a variety of soil types. Whether you need a natural privacy screen or a statement plant, Miscanthus delivers beauty and function. Give a thumbs up if you think this ornamental grass is beautiful too! #yard #lawn #landscaping #illinois #courtyard

Say hello to our featured crew member of the month, Robert! Robert is our Maintenance Crew Leader, and has been a valuable member of our team for many years! He’s lived in the Chicago area since 2015, so his knowledge of this area makes him a great asset to the team! His favorite flower is lilacs, and his favorite season is fall. Here’s what else we asked him! 1?? What's your favorite thing about being a part of the ILT Vignocchi team? Robert said: “When I talk, ILT listens to what I have to say. They support me and my crew.” 2??What's a funny memory or story you have while on the job? He said: “One time it started to rain, we all got soaked and looked like wet chickens.” 3?? What are your hobbies or what do you like to do on your days off? “Cooking and fishing.” 4?? Does pineapple belong on pizza? “No!” Thanks again, Robert, for all you do for ILT Vignocchi, we appreciate you! Do you agree that pineapple should stay off of pizza? Let’s keep this debate going! #illinois #chicago #landscaping #landscapedesign #trees

This project is a perfect blend of renewal and reinvention! A long-time client decided to start fresh, using a house addition as an opportunity to solve water issues and elevate an already stunning landscape. From reusing aged bluestone for the pool deck to creating serene spaces like a raised patio for morning coffee and a tranquil brook with a bluestone bridge, every detail has been meticulously crafted. Mature trees, a formal lawn, and a beautifully restored rose garden complete the transformation. Change has never looked this good! If you’ve been thinking about refreshing your space, this is your sign to take action for a stunning transformation like this! ??847-487-5200 ?? www.ILTVignocchi.com #renovated #residentialconstruction #homeowner #suburb #luxury

Three days of growth, learning, and connection for Team ILT Vignocchi! We had the privilege of hosting industry professionals at our office, diving deep into how we can improve, grow, and show them what our team is all about. As leaders, it’s on us to evolve if we want our team to do the same. That’s why we opened our doors wide, inviting fresh perspectives and honest evaluations of everything we do. Of course, it wasn’t all work—there were plenty of dinners, laughter, and moments to grow as friends along the way.
