Our Geneva Residential Landscaping Services

Spring cleanup

At the end of the winter, it’s time for your yard to come out of its hibernation. Flowers are blooming, trees are budding, mud is plentiful, and weeds are ready to spring out of the ground and take over your landscaping. Plus, you might have leaves leftover from the fall, sticks and limbs that have fallen from trees, and a general mess on your hands. We offer a spring cleanup that will get your lawn back in shape!

Our full-service cleanup includes cleaning and blowing out all of your beds and lawn areas, edging out your flowerbeds, trimming plants, and making everything gorgeous for the beginning of the season.

We’ll tailor a yard cleanup plan that suits your exact needs. We do this work for both residential and commercial properties. You can also add on services as needed!

Mulching

Springtime is the perfect time to mulch your yard. In the mid-to-late spring, the soil warms up from the cold winter climate. If you mulch before the ground warms, you can damage your soil. You also need to make sure that you have the right amount of mulch, which is dependent upon several factors, including which plants you are growing. Mulch is important for keeping your soil healthy, moist, and well-nourished. We install high-quality premium hardwood mulch throughout your flower beds to keep your yard looking healthy and beautiful!

Organic fertilizer program and weed control

When weeds grow out of control, they can damage the health of your flowers, plants, and trees. Inadequate soil quality does damage, too. You can put a lot of effort into your landscaping, only to have that hard work undermined by poor soil and weeds! That’s why weed control and fertilizer applications are needed—these applications help your outdoor spaces thrive. We only use fertilizers and weed controllers that are safe for your kids and pets!

Fall cleanup

When the leaves start to fall, it’s time to get your lawn ready for the cold months ahead! Our knowledgeable Ware Landscaping team knows exactly what kind of attention your yard needs in the fall to achieve its best next year. We go beyond superficial leaf-raking. We also get your plants pruned back and ready for winter!

Snow removal

In the winter months, you may be interested in our snow removal services! We are committed to keeping your driveway, sidewalks, and walkways free of ice and snow!

Frequently Asked Questions

How frequently should mulch be reapplied in our area?

For most Geneva homes, applying mulch once per year is sufficient, though some high-visibility areas might benefit from refreshing twice annually. Spring application (April-May) is most common and beneficial, providing protection throughout the growing season. Some Geneva homeowners also choose to apply a lighter layer in early fall to provide winter protection for plants.

Working with professional landscapers ensures you’ll apply the right amount of mulch at optimal times for your specific landscape needs throughout Geneva’s seasonal changes.

What are the best grass varieties for Geneva's climate?

The most successful lawns in Geneva typically feature cool-season grass varieties that can handle northern Illinois’s temperature fluctuations. Kentucky bluegrass is particularly popular due to its excellent cold tolerance and ability to recover from Geneva’s occasionally harsh winters. For shadier properties, fine fescues perform exceptionally well, while perennial ryegrass offers quick establishment and good durability in high-traffic areas.

How should I adjust my lawn care routine during Geneva's dry summers?

During the occasional summer dry spells that affect Geneva, proper watering becomes critical. Rather than frequent shallow watering, deep watering 1-2 times per week (approximately 1-1.5 inches each time) encourages deeper root growth and drought resistance. Early morning watering (5-9 AM) is ideal to minimize evaporation while avoiding evening moisture that can promote fungal growth.

Additionally, raising your mower height to 3-3.5 inches during hot periods provides shade to the soil, reducing moisture loss and stress on the grass. Consider reducing foot traffic on drought-stressed areas, and avoid fertilizing during extreme heat as this can further stress the lawn. Our Geneva lawn care team can implement a customized drought management plan specific to your property’s needs and microclimate.

What people are saying

Ware Landscaping & Snow Removal

They did a great job and we are very pleased!

“I contacted Mike at Ware Landscaping for help with fixing my flooded backyard and garage. Mike gave me an honest assessment of my situation and recommended the right system to fix my problems (a lot of issues). Ware Landscaping installed drainage, underground downspouts, underground sump pump lines, driveway drains and surface drains in the yard to fix all my problems.. The team was very professional and always asked for my approval on work being done before it was completed. They did a great job and we are very pleased!”

Jim Kristof

I recommend him without any hesitation.

“We had a water problem in our basement that Mike Ware completely eliminated by removing both our sump pump water and downspout water away from the home. He was professional and highly motivated to solve the problem and do it the right way. I always felt like a priority and that my project mattered. I recommend him without any hesitation.”

Michael Swider

FANTASTIC JOB!!!

Ware Landscaping did a FANTASTIC JOB!!! I needed my entire backyard regraded and they filled it in with more than 2 truck loads, installed a French drain and put new beautiful green sod on top. They also power washed and reset my front retaining wall. Communication from the beginning was always very good. We always knew when they were coming out. The project was completed on time as well. They also called on their own a month after the project to check on the sod and were willing to replace some spots due to the June heat wave. Would recommend Ware Landscaping to all!!!”

Dan Malloy

The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail.

“Mike, Greg and the rest of the crew made our back yard dream a reality with a drainage system to remove the stream that flowed through the middle of the yard, which flooded every rainstorm and stuck around for weeks. To complete the look in came a perfectly designed beautiful hardscape patio that we can’t wait to use this summer. The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend!”

Katie Jankowski

The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy.

“We had a wooden deck for a front porch that was starting to age. When we removed it we saw that there was a concrete slab underneath it that was pitched toward our house, creating an issue with standing water up against our foundation. We had Mike come by to advise us on the best solution, and he suggested permeable pavers. We were able to come up with a custom design with him that day. The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy. I’m sure they do much bigger jobs than our little patio, but this project made a huge difference for our home.
