Welcome to Lake Shore Specialties

Lake Shore Specialties has been creating award wining garden structures and amenities for individual clients and landscape design professionals in Chicago and its suburbs since 1974. Our products include wood arbors, fences, decks, pergolas and other structures, as well as ornamental iron fences, gates and accessories. We also have designed and installed many urban rooftop decks utilizing our proprietary LeveLoc™ decking system, complete with planters, grill and spa enclosures, and other accessories.
(To view more examples of our work, please see our Galleries section.)

Lake Shore sells its products directly to individuals and through some of the best known landscape architects and contractors in the area. We recommend you contact Lake Shore directly with your plans and ideas. Your landscape architect or contractor also can provide you with a landscape design to blend our products with your plans. Several are listed in this site, all of whom we have worked with and recommend.

Lake Shore utilizes only the finest in materials for beauty and durability, and constructs and pre-assembles most products in its workshop to improve precision and minimize inconvenience to the homeowner.
