Rooted in a multi-generational family legacy, Antunez Design traces its origins to Filiberto Antunez, who immigrated from central Mexico in 1982. Starting as a dishwasher in Chicago, he later worked as a groundskeeper in Mundelein before launching a landscaping business with his father in 1993. The company evolved from a modest operation with a single push mower and a 1978 Chevy Silverado into a respected design practice known for its innovative, sustainable approach. The firm’s mission centers on cultivating memories through landscapes that harmonize with nature while promoting biodiversity. A portion of every design fee supports children in poverty worldwide, reflecting a deep commitment to global impact.
