About TaylorMade Landworks
My name is Benedict Taylor, and for the past 16 years, I’ve dedicated my career to building high-quality hardscapes and landscapes with intention, precision, and pride. What started as hands-on work in the field has grown into a team that shares the same commitment to craftsmanship and doing things the right way.
I remain closely involved in every project, from planning and site preparation to final details, while working alongside a skilled team that I’ve trained to uphold the same standards I expect of myself. Together, we approach each project with a disciplined process, clear communication, and respect for your property from day one.
Professionalism is at the core of how we operate. That means showing up prepared, maintaining clean and organized job sites, and being accountable at every stage of the build. Our team understands that quality isn’t accidental—it’s the result of experience, preparation, and attention to detail.
We take pride in our craftsmanship. From proper base preparation and grading to precise cuts and long-term performance, we focus on building outdoor spaces that look exceptional and are built to last. Shortcuts aren’t part of our process—only proven methods and high standards.
Most importantly, we care deeply about the work we do. Every patio, wall, and outdoor living space reflects my name and our team’s reputation. When you work with us, you’re not just hiring a contractor—you’re partnering with a team that is passionate about creating lasting value.
Made with quality. Made with passion. Made for you.

Custom Hardscapes Built for Style, Comfort & Durability
Hardscaping is where craftsmanship truly shines—and it’s one of the areas where TaylorMade Landworks excels. Ben Taylor has over a decade of experience designing and installing patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor features that transform backyards into lasting, functional spaces.
Our hardscape design process focuses on your lifestyle:
- Do you want a space for outdoor entertaining?
- A peaceful area to unwind after a long day?
- A durable patio or walkway that blends seamlessly with your home’s architecture?
No matter what the need, we use premium materials and proven installation techniques to ensure your hardscape remains beautiful and structurally sound for years to come. From retaining walls that solve erosion challenges to paver patios that become the centerpiece of your backyard, your finished project will feel solid, polished, and uniquely yours.
Satisfied customers throughout Springfield and Central Illinois praise our attention to detail, transparency, and ability to bring even the most ambitious visions to life. When you work with TaylorMade Landworks, you get a hardscape that’s designed to last—and built to impress.
Enhancing Your Property with Lighting, Water Features & More
A great outdoor space needs great finishing touches, and that’s where our specialty services come in. Landscape lighting, water features, and custom outdoor structures elevate your yard from ordinary to extraordinary. Our lighting designs improve safety, highlight architectural features, and create a warm and inviting atmosphere for nighttime enjoyment.
Water features—such as ponds, waterfalls, and fountains—bring soothing movement and sound to your landscape, helping create a peaceful, relaxing environment. We also design pergolas and outdoor structures that provide shade, structure, and functionality while blending seamlessly with your overall design.
In addition, we offer drainage solutions to protect your home and lawn from standing water, erosion, and foundation issues. These solutions are tailored to your property’s grading and soil conditions, ensuring long-term protection and performance.
Every feature we add is built with craftsmanship and purpose, ensuring your outdoor space remains beautiful, enjoyable, and structurally sound. Our goal is to create a finished environment where every element—from the plants to the pavers to the lighting—works together seamlessly.
