    Every site is unique, and we carefully evaluate conditions to ensure compliance with building and zoning codes. We work with Architects and Structural Engineers, as needed to provide detailed plans, and permit-ready drawings so your project can move forward efficiently and confidently.

    Based on your goals, our team creates tailored concepts and 3D renderings, incorporating custom pergolas, outdoor kitchens, privacy screens, container gardens, sustainable plantings, hardscape features, lighting and irrigation, outdoor furniture all designed for beauty, function, and lasting impact.

Sustainability

We use eco-friendly practices and locally sourced materials, incorporating native, pollinator-friendly, and water-wise plantings to reduce environmental impact and support biodiversity.

  • We design naturally with no pesticides, no turf, no chemicals, just thriving landscapes powered by sustainable practices.

    ECO-FRIENDLY PRACTICES
    We prioritize natural solutions by avoiding pesticides, artificial turf and plants to contribute to a healthier ecosystem. Our goal is to create vibrant landscapes and outdoor spaces that thrive without synthetic chemicals or unnecessary resources. We reduce our carbon footprint by using electric tools and vehicles.

    NATIVE & POLLINATOR-FRIENDLY GARDENS
    By incorporating regionally indigenous plants we support essential pollinators like birds, bees and butterflies. Native gardens require less water and maintenance once established, supporting biodiverse habitats. 

    WATER CONSERVATION
    Rooftopia designs efficient drip irrigation systems to minimize water use and keep container gardens thriving. We help clients reduce or replace traditional lawns with eco-friendly alternatives such as native groundcovers, meadow plantings, low-mow and clover blends, or functional rain gardens and bioswales promoting resilient and sustainable landscapes.

Get Started

  • Excellent experience from start to finish. Jenn, Marcin, and the entire Rooftopia team were amazing to work with. My project was large and required a fair amount of coordination…architects, surveyors, permitting, etc. My team was in constant communication, updating me on next steps, checking in to make sure that I was happy with each phase of the project, and promptly responding to ALL of my questions. The end result was better than I could have ever imagined….the care that they took with my home, the quality of the custom features that reflected my personal style, and the attention to detail, all resulted in a beautiful outdoor space that I will enjoy for many years to come!

  • Beautiful work on our deck. The team at Rooftopia has an incredible design aesthetic and a team that can really implement. Any issues that came up, they were immediately responsive. All of the guests who come to our home are wow'ed by the deck. We are so happy with their work and would highly recommend them to anyone!

  • We used Rooftopia for our garage rooftop pergola. We are very happy with the final product. The finished pergola looks exactly like the design. Custom pieces make the rooftop really stand out in the neighborhood. Highly recommend!

  • We have been so pleased to work with Rooftopia on our roof deck renovation. From start to finish, they have been so friendly to work with. Their design team more than exceeded our expectations of what we wanted in a roof deck. Every suggestion or desire we asked for was able to be beautifully incorporated into our deck. Their plant/landscaping design team also delivered spectacularly. Our one year old planting beds on the roof look like they have been well established beds for many years. From the structural steel design work all the way thru the final smallest details, they provided great insight and guidance for us. Incredibly easy to work with. They kept us up to date on any changes or adjustments to the schedule (mostly weather related). They have been so accessible for questions and guidance and adjustments. By far, the best team we have worked with on any project here in Chicago. We asked for a Secret Garden theme (after the book) and they gave us a secret garden in the city.

  • We recently completed a significant residential rooftop project with Rooftopia and are extremely pleased with the result. We have lived in our home since 2008 and had not had any work done on the rooftop outside of staining the former wood deck. The space was very hard to use due to the lack of seating and shade. We engaged Rooftopia to help us realize our very raw vision. Rooftopia helped us define our true wants and needs, from creating a layout to picking finishes and also adding some unique touches the entire process was smooth and professional. Jenn and her design team came through and helped us make decisions that we were struggling with. The hands-on approach of bringing materials to our home helped greatly. After the design was complete, we got to meet the “Rootopians” (Jenn and Marcin’s build/install team). They were absolutely the best! They worked tirelessly in uneven spring weather and summer heat. Polite to a fault, they even put up with our over-protective pug and his relentless barking. We highly recommend Rooftopia.
