Do we offer mowing only services?

No, we do not. We only offer full-service lawn maintenance packages where we take care of everything, including weekly mowing, spring cleanup, weekly cleanups, fall cleanup, and an organic fertilizer program.

What is included in the weekly cleanup service?

We will perform mini cleanups on the flowerbeds each week while we are out cutting the grass. We will focus on weeding, edging beds, and trimming bushes on a weekly basis. This is a game changer and will keep the yard looking great all throughout the season.

Our Residential Landscaping Services in Glencoe

Spring Cleanup

Spring is a great time to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather in Glencoe. As the snow melts and the trees begin to bud, it’s time to start thinking about cleaning up your yard. As the plants start to grow, so do the weeds! Spring in Glencoe is also muddy and messy.

Hiring the professionals at Ware Landscaping to take care of your spring cleanup means that we take care of the mess so you can enjoy your spring! We blow out and edge your flowerbeds, trim back any overgrowth, and prepare your yard for the season ahead. Our cleanup plans are based on what you need, including commercial or residential services. From there, you can add on other services that will keep your landscape looking beautiful all year long.

Mulching Services

Spring is a great time to refresh your landscaping beds with fresh mulch. You have to wait until the ground is warm enough for placing mulch—if it’s too cold, mulch can slow your garden’s growth. We time your mulch installation for the perfect time, based on Glencoe’s climate. We only use premium hardwood mulch to support healthy, well-nourished soil.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes lawn care in Glencoe different from other areas?

Glencoe’s lakeside location creates unique conditions for lawn maintenance. The proximity to Lake Michigan influences both soil composition and climate, with more moisture and occasional lake-effect weather patterns.

Our North Shore properties often feature mature trees that create varying sun and shade patterns, requiring specialized care approaches. At Ware Landscaping, we customize our maintenance programs specifically for Glencoe’s microclimate, helping your lawn thrive in these distinctive conditions.

How often should professional lawn maintenance be performed in Glencoe?

For most Glencoe properties, weekly maintenance provides the optimal balance of care and cost-effectiveness. With our area’s robust growing season and variable weather conditions, consistent attention ensures your lawn remains healthy and attractive.

Our weekly maintenance program includes not just mowing, but also edging, trimming, and cleanup to maintain a polished appearance that complements Glencoe’s prestigious community standards.

What can professional landscapers do that DIY maintenance cannot?

Professional landscapers bring specialized knowledge about plants, soil health, and sustainable practices that most homeowners don’t possess. Our Ware Landscaping team can identify early signs of disease or pest problems before they become visible, apply treatments at optimal times, and make adjustments based on seasonal needs.

We also have professional-grade equipment that delivers superior results compared to residential tools. Perhaps most importantly, we provide consistency—ensuring your property receives expert care throughout the year, even during vacation periods or busy work seasons!

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.
