About Us

At Archer Pines Landscaping, we believe every outdoor space has the potential to become something extraordinary. Since our founding in 1994, we’ve combined tradition, innovation, and a deep respect for nature to create landscapes that inspire. What began with a single lawn mower and the vision of our founder, Phil Solatka—a lifelong Lockport resident with a true “green thumb”—has grown into a trusted, family-owned company serving Tinley Park, Homer Glen, Frankfort, and surrounding communities for over 30 years.

From day one, our mission has been simple: deliver exceptional craftsmanship with personal attention at every stage of your project. Today, we offer a full range of services, including custom landscape design, outcropping, native plantings, tree replacement, pond design, and more. With a professional landscape architect on staff, we bring your ideas to life through thoughtful planning and meticulous execution.

At Archer Pines Landscaping, we don’t just build landscapes—we build lasting relationships. Whether your project is large or small, we approach it with the same care and dedication that defined our beginnings. Trust us to transform your vision into a space you’ll love for years to come.

Testimonials

On 5/22/2024 Georgia Waddell had this to say:
We had beautiful limestone steps installed, retention wall, and upcoming patio with Archer Pines Landscaping and RS Brick Paving LLC. Archer Pines is very easy to work with, timely, dependable, and all the employees are good at what they do. After completing each job, the employees leave the jobsite cleaner than when they arrived. Phil clearly has exceptional knowledge and so does his crew. I highly recommend Archer Pines Landscaping!

On 5/15/2024 Ken Frecke had this to say:
Phil at Archer Pines has been my preferred landscaper since I moved to the Lockport area in 2006. Always a reliable contractor who does meticulous work at a great price.

On 5/2/2024 Mal Y. had this to say:
Archer Pines cleaned up a yard of a house I purchased that was horribly neglected and over grown. Easy communication and very timely. Will use again.

On 3/27/2024 Kevin Engler had this to say:
Phil and his team were a pleasure to work with. I gave him a budget, he worked up a plan and soon after we had a beautifully landscaped front yard. They are communicative, timely, neat and very responsive to any questions we had. You’ll be making the right choice when you decide to work with Archer Pines.

On 3/7/2024 Karen Springs III HOA had this to say:
Phil has been handling our association phase 3 since it was turned over from the builder. Phil truly is the best and truly cares about our association property from day one. No homeowners have ever complained about the work they have done on our properties. Phil always made sure our property was meticulously cleaned up. I would even see his workers here during the winter and off season from our contract dates and they would made sure the property ALWAYS looked great! Every time we needed extra work done, like mulch, rocking or retaining wall work, he always had the best prices on every project he quoted us. We have never considered going to anyone else besides Archer Pines and will continue to use him as long as he will have us. Thank you Phil for taking such great care of us all of these years! We truly appreciate it! President - Karen Springs III HOA Testimonial written by Karen Springs III HOA on this site.
