In 1986, Lou's son Kurt took over the reins and to this day remains the inspirational leader of Intrinsic Landscaping. Since 2000, Intrinsic has built its reputation as the leading green roof contractor in the United States having installed approximately 4,000,000 square feet of vegetation on rooftops all over the country. Throughout this time, Intrinsic has continued to service the high end residential markets in the Chicagoland area and beyond, and continues to deliver innovative solutions for owners and architects on a wide range of projects.
Intrinsic Landscaping Inc. is a family owned company whose commitment to the environment is part of an inheritance we take as seriously as our commitment to quality. We have grown to become a premier installer of green roofs and other unique landscapes. Our reputation as a leader in the green industry is based on our expert knowledge of plant materials, the systems that support them and their long-term viability. Intrinsic Landscaping President Kurt Horvath has been a leader in roof garden design and implementation in the Midwest since taking the company in this direction in 1998.
Since building its first green roof in 2001, Intrinsic Landscaping has pioneered the construction of green roofs in the Chicago Metropolitain area and beyond. To date we have installed almost 4,000,000 square feet of green roofs nation wide and continue to add to this total year after year. Over the years, Intrinsic has evolved from an installation contractor to a one stop green roof shop. Our sister company, Intrinsic Perennial Gardens, Inc., has a large growing facility outside of Chicago which grows a diverse selection of green roof plants, including several patented varieties uniquely suited for green roof applications.
Intrinsic Landscaping can help you realize your landscape from start to finish and beyond. Our designers will work with you in a comfortable, fun manner in order to provide you with a custom landscape to suit your needs in the short term and for many years to come.
