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.

Spring Cleanup

When the weather finally starts to warm up in the spring, Highland Park homeowners are ready to enjoy the outdoors! As exciting as the season is, you may also find yourself thinking about the inevitable workload of getting your yard ready for summer. When the trees start blooming, the weeds start growing! It’s also the season for cleaning up the mess left behind by winter.

Ware Landscaping can send a team of professionals to take care of your spring clean up for you, which means we take care of the mess and you get to enjoy the season! We’ll blow out and edge your flowerbeds, trim any overgrowth, and prepare your lawn for the spring and summer. Our spring cleanup provides all the basics for your commercial or residential property. You can also add other services that will keep your landscaping looking beautiful all year long.

Mulching Services

Mulching your lawn in the spring is perfect timing. Fresh mulch should be laid when the ground has warmed up in the spring. Too cold, and the mulch can slow your garden’s growth. Ware Landscaping will lay mulch in your landscaping beds at the perfect time, based on Highland Park’s weather this year. We only use premium hardwood mulch, which supports healthy, well-nourished soil.

Additional Highland Park Lawn Maintenance Services

Organic Fertilizer Program & Weed Control

Weeds are much more than an eyesore. In addition to harming the aesthetic value of your home, weeds can damage your soil quality and compromise the health of your landscaping, including the lawn, trees, and plants.

It’s frustrating to put lots of effort into your landscaping, only to have it taken over by invasive weeds. Ware Landscaping offers comprehensive weed support. We support healthy growth while using child- and pet-safe organic fertilizers.

Fall Cleanup in Highland Park

When the trees first start to change color, you know it’s coming: fall in Highland Park! This gorgeous time of year in the lakeside region of Illinois is also the time when you have to think about cleaning up your landscaping and preparing it for the cold winter. Ware Landscaping’s professional team will tailor your fall cleanup services to your needs. We take your specific grass, plants, trees, and property details into consideration to clean up and winterize your lawn. That includes pruning, leaf removal, and cleaning debris.

Snow Removal Services

Every winter, our team provides zero-tolerance snow removal services in Highland Park. That means that we don’t tolerate any snow on your sidewalks, driveways, and walkways. You can expect us to show up every time it snows to keep your walkways and driveways as safe as possible. This means you can enjoy the season without worrying about icy and snow buildup on your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Highland Park need specialized lawn care services?

Highland Park’s location on the shores of Lake Michigan provides some unique conditions that landscapers must take into consideration. The region’s soil composition, climate, moisture, and weather all play a role in the best lawn maintenance options.

Highland Park properties also often have mature trees, creating varying sun and shade patterns. At Ware Landscaping, we customize our landscaping packages specifically for the Highland Park microclimate. We help your lawn thrive in these conditions.

How often should professional landscapers work on your lawn in Highland Park?

Most Highland Park properties benefit from weekly lawn maintenance. This provides a really great balance of care and cost-effectiveness. Northeastern Illinois has a great growing season but lots of variations in the weather, and consistent lawn care will keep your property healthy, attractive, and enjoyable.

Ware Landscaping offers a weekly maintenance program, which includes mowing, edging, trimming, and cleanup. We keep Highland Park’s prestigious homes and businesses looking amazing!

Is professional landscaping better than DIY landscaping?

DIY projects can be a lot of fun, but they are also a lot of work! There are also lots of opportunities to make big mistakes when you try to tackle a landscaping project on your own. When it comes to ongoing maintenance, the biggest benefit of hiring a landscaping crew is having a beautiful yard without the backbreaking, time-consuming work!

Landscaping professionals bring with them specialized knowledge of plants, soil health, and sustainable practices. The team at Ware Landscaping can identify early signs of disease and pest problems before they become visible to the average homeowner. We also make adjustments to your lawn care based on the seasons, weather, and recent conditions.

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.
