Excellence is a year-round pursuit. This season, that pursuit was recognized with one of the industry’s highest honors.
Scott Byron & Co. is proud to announce that our Elysian property has received a Gold Award for Landscape Maintenance from Landscape Illinois. This award celebrates not only beauty, but consistency, precision, and the long-term commitment required to preserve a landscape at its highest level.
Elysian truly lives up to its name. It is a landscape of serenity and balance where every element feels intentional and timeless. From the moment you arrive, the space communicates calm, structure, and refinement. Achieving that feeling is not the result of chance. It is the outcome of a meticulous maintenance program designed to honor the original vision while allowing the landscape to evolve gracefully through every season.
A Landscape Designed to Endure
The Elysian property presents a complex and layered environment that demands thoughtful care. Diverse plantings include specimen trees, evergreen screens, ornamental grasses, and perennial gardens. Each must thrive individually while contributing to a unified visual composition.
These living elements are carefully balanced with extensive hardscape features, including an Ipe pool deck, Valders stone terraces, and concrete steppers. Maintaining harmony between horticulture and structure requires continuous attention and technical expertise. Drainage and irrigation must be precisely coordinated to protect both soil health and architectural integrity.
As daylight fades, low-voltage lighting extends the property’s tranquil glow into the evening. The landscape does not simply exist during the day. It performs around the clock, in every season, under every condition.
Each phase of the year introduces new challenges. Spring renewal, summer growth, autumn transitions, and winter protection all demand different approaches. Yet the result remains unwavering. A landscape that is vibrant, orderly, functional, and deeply personal to its owners.
Maintenance as an Art Form
Landscape maintenance is often misunderstood as routine work. In reality, it is a craft that blends horticultural knowledge with design sensitivity and disciplined execution.
At Elysian, maintenance is not about preservation alone. It is about stewardship. Every decision is guided by respect for the original design and an understanding of how living systems mature over time. This approach allows the property to feel effortless while remaining highly intentional.
Through attentive care and an artful balance of nature and craftsmanship, Elysian continues to embody its name. A living paradise where landscape and architecture exist in perfect harmony.
