Our landscaping services include:
Our team can complete an individual improvement or coordinate several services as part of a complete property transformation.
““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.””

Your landscape should complement your home while providing practical spaces for relaxing, entertaining and spending time outdoors.
Our residential landscapers help Naperville homeowners improve curb appeal, correct property problems and create outdoor spaces that work for their families.
Residential landscaping projects may include:
Every property has different conditions. Before making recommendations, we evaluate the existing landscape, sunlight, soil, grade, drainage, access and how the customer intends to use the space.
A successful landscape begins with a plan that considers both appearance and long-term performance.
Our Naperville landscape-design process can account for:
Once the design has been approved, our installation team prepares the property and installs the agreed plants, beds, sod, mulch and other landscape features.
Our goal is to create a landscape that looks appropriate for your home and performs well in Northern Illinois conditions.
You do not always need to rebuild your entire yard.
A landscape renovation can improve an existing property by removing overgrown plants, redefining beds, replacing failing materials, correcting drainage and adding new features.

Keeping a lawn consistently attractive requires more than occasional mowing.
Ware Landscaping offers complete lawn-maintenance programs for Naperville properties. Our services are designed for customers who want regular, detailed property care rather than a mowing-only service.
Available maintenance services may include:
Complete maintenance helps keep the lawn, beds, edges and surrounding outdoor areas presentable throughout the growing season.
Residential, commercial and qualifying homeowners’ association properties may be eligible for ongoing maintenance.
The exterior of a commercial property influences how customers, tenants, employees and visitors perceive the business.
Our commercial landscaping services help Naperville properties maintain a professional appearance while addressing safety, access, drainage and seasonal maintenance.
We work with qualifying:
Commercial services may include:
Service recommendations are based on the property size, outdoor features, traffic, maintenance requirements and desired service frequency.
A structured maintenance program can help prevent an outdoor property from appearing overgrown, inconsistent or neglected.
Depending on the property, a commercial landscape-maintenance plan may include mowing, trimming, bed cleanup, fertilization, plant care, seasonal cleanup and mulch installation.
We can also identify drainage or hardscape problems that may require corrective work.

Standing water, muddy lawns and foundation-side pooling can make an otherwise attractive property difficult to use.
Ware Landscaping evaluates where water originates, how it moves across the property and where it can be safely redirected.
Depending on the site, drainage recommendations may include:
Drainage should be considered before installing new lawns, planting beds, patios or other major landscape improvements.
Correcting the underlying water problem first can protect the newly installed landscape and help prevent repeated damage.

Hardscaping adds durable and functional features to your outdoor property.
Our Naperville hardscaping services may include:

A backyard renovation can turn an underused or problem area into an attractive extension of your home.
Your project may combine:
Before developing the design, we consider how the family wants to use the space.
A backyard designed primarily for entertaining may require a different layout from one intended for children, pets, gardening or low-maintenance relaxation.

New sod can provide an immediate lawn transformation when the ground has been properly prepared.
Our sod-installation process may include:
Drainage and grading are especially important. Installing new sod without addressing standing water or poor runoff can allow the original problem to return.
Seed installation may also be recommended for qualifying areas and project requirements.
Planting beds add structure, texture and seasonal color to a property.
Our team can design and install beds using plants selected for the property’s:
Planting services may include shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, ground cover and other suitable materials.
Mulch can then be installed to give the beds a finished appearance, reduce moisture loss and help manage weeds.
Retaining walls can manage elevation changes, define planting areas and create more usable sections of a property.
Available wall applications may include:
The installation approach depends on the wall’s height, purpose, soil, grade and drainage requirements.
Drainage behind a retaining wall must be considered because trapped water can place pressure on the structure.
Naperville landscapes require different services throughout the year.
Spring services can include cleanup, edging, trimming, mulching, lawn preparation, plant replacement and assessment of winter damage.
Summer maintenance may include mowing, bed cleanup, weed management, trimming and monitoring plant and lawn conditions.
Fall services can include leaf removal, plant cutbacks, bed cleanup, lawn preparation and final seasonal maintenance.
Qualifying residential and commercial customers can use snow-removal and ice-management services to maintain access and improve safety during winter weather.

Instead of spending all year on seasonal and annual yard maintenance tasks, you can get the job done quickly by hiring Ware Landscaping. Our lawn care professionals have the experience necessary to do the job fast, and to do it right the first time.

The answer to this question is dependent upon several factors, including the type of work that is being done. A drainage project involving new drains, yard grading, and sod is going to take a lot longer than mulching and planting in the spring. Most projects take between one and six weeks. When we review your project and develop a landscaping plan, we will provide you with a projected timeline. We always work hard to meet those timelines!
At Ware, we have the experience and training to know when a permit is required and when it’s not. Installing a pool, building a retaining wall, or making major changes to your drainage system may require a permit from the city.
Smaller projects, such as planting, mulching, installing sprinklers, or building new gardens, will not require any special permission. We will advise you about potential permit needs when we complete your consultation.
