2020 Update

I am extremely proud and humbled to announce the addition of my son Lou, to the North Riverside Landscape team. Lou is a very focused and hard working young man and I had always hoped he would make the decision to join this family owned business started by my father and mentor, Frank S. Van Duerm, 70 years ago. Having done that, he moved back to Chicago from the Denver area with his wife, Emily, and their newborn daughter in the spring of 2019. This year marks his second year with the team and we couldn't be more thrilled. Having grown up in and around the business, working summers while in college and in combination with his environmental background, I suspect Lou will be a quick study, full of fresh ideas and at some point take the reins, leading North Riverside Landscape into the foreseeable future!
