Company Information
After working in his mother's garden, owner Jamie Cagney's passion for the landscape was realized. After years of education and experience, he felt it was time to take all he had learned and share it. In 2005, Cagney Landscape Design was formed. Our first project was an elaborate flagstone patio with brick seat walls and a central fire pit. We began serving Western Springs and have quickly expanded, now serving client bases as far as Aurora. Our expansion has included growth in the services we provide. In 2006, we added brick work to our portfolio. In 2007, we added landscape lighting, water features and maintenance services. We have recently added wood pergola and trellis work. We understand that our success is contingent on the service we provide our clients and your project is no exception. Let us show you just how important your are!
Jamie Cagney began his work in landscaping in 2002 while working as a bartender
and going to school to find what it is he wanted to do with his life. Finding how
interested he became in landscaping, he searched for a school to get formally
educated in the field. This search brought him to College of DuPage and Morton
Arboretum. Over the next three years, he earned degrees in Ornamental Horticulture,
Landscape Design and Construction, and Landscape and Turf Maintenance. During
this time, Jamie attended various seminars, ranging from design to installation
to sales. After graduating with High Honors, Jamie competed in a state landscape
competition, earning recognition in many fields including Plant Identification,
Landscape Construction and Maintenance Bidding, and Landscape Construction techniques.
Jamie completed a year-long internship with a highly respected and successful
landscape company serving in the areas of Garden Center Management, Landscape Design,
Construction Techniques and Sales. Upon being offered a position for the next year,
Jamie searched his soul and decided that it was time to start out on his own and
Cagney Landscape Design was founded. Now Jamie serves as a mentor to those who
graduated with him and are trying to succeed in their fields. He hopes to soon
return to College of DuPage to teach.
