Loba Landscapes

Loba Landscapes has been pioneering ecological garden design since 1998, specializing in the thoughtful integration of Illinois native plants into residential landscapes. Founded by Linda Valdez Karl, a certified horticulturist and Illinois Master Naturalist, the company embraces a philosophy of 'gardens with a touch of the wild' that combines sustainability with aesthetic appeal. Understanding that not every homeowner seeks a 100% native plant garden, Loba Landscapes tailors designs to meet individual preferences while maintaining ecological integrity and supporting local pollinators and wildlife. With deep expertise in native plant selection, invasive species removal, and meadow creation, the company delivers personalized garden design, consultation, and coaching services backed by extensive knowledge of regional ecology and landscape stewardship.
