Your Naperville home deserves an outdoor space as beautiful as the community it’s in. Ware Landscaping specializes in full-service landscape design and installation — from custom plant layouts and sod installation to mulch, flower bed edging, and expert pruning. We don’t just make your yard look stunning; we build it to function, drain properly, and last for years.
At Ware Landscaping, our mission goes beyond aesthetics. We create beautifully landscaped environments where Naperville families build lasting memories, while ensuring every project is grounded in proper drainage from day one.
We’ve been serving Naperville homeowners and commercial property owners for over 20 years. We know this community, we know this soil, and we know what it takes for plants to thrive through Illinois winters and summers. Every landscape we design and install is tailored to your property’s topography, sun exposure, drainage needs, and your personal vision.
We source all plant materials exclusively from the top nursery in Chicago, a partnership we’ve maintained for over two decades because the quality of what goes in the ground determines the quality of what you see every day.

Landscape design is the artisan tradition of bridging nature to culture. It is the art of integrating beautiful manmade design with natural elements at the intersection of your personal property. It uses nature and plants as architecture and tools of artistic expression, beside the 9 Basic Principles of Landscape Design. Landscape design addresses both the aesthetic and the functional aspects of our lives as we go to immerse ourselves outdoors. See our 11 Ways to Use Beautiful Rocks for Improving Your Landscape.

We visit your Naperville property at no cost. Our designer evaluates drainage, soil, sun exposure, and existing plants — then discusses your vision and budget before any commitments are made.
We develop a tailored landscape plan for your property. Opt for our digital design service and receive a full visual blueprint — the fee is credited back at installation.
Before we plant anything, we lay out all materials on your property and walk through the plan with you. You approve the layout. No surprises — what you see is what gets planted.
Our crew clears existing material, prepares soil, integrates drainage where needed, and plants from our premium Chicago nursery stock. Most residential Naperville projects are completed in a single day.
All plants carry a 1-year guarantee. For clients who continue with our weekly lawn maintenance program, that guarantee extends to a lifetime — for as long as maintenance stays active.
Swinging away from finely manicured lawns, the dominant trend in landscapes now is going toward a more natural looking area. Whether it’s located on an enormous estate or outside of a small house, the cultivation of local native species is gaining popularity.
The benefits of growing native species include the savings in water and less plant maintenance. As regions like ours are increasingly being affected by potential water crises, people appreciate the hardy species that have already adapted to tolerate our local conditions.
Dwindling populations of endangered species of birds, butterflies, and other insects and animals, due to loss of habitat, have inspired people to provide more native habitat for these species in their yards. A growing appreciation for these beautiful species has propelled the trend forward in popularity.
The beauty and variety of local species of flowers never cease to wow property owners and visitors. A palette of colors is available in nearly all textures, shapes, and sizes. There is less desire to copy traditional European designs when you are free to experiment proudly with varieties of awe-inspiring plants and trees that are indigenous and unique to our area. It also creates a harmonious bridge to the rest of the ecosystem.
The skilled landscape design experts at Ware Landscaping take into account a variety of design factors to customize the landscape on your property to specifically suit your style and your functional needs. Our design experts will ask you to consider these factors:
These individual factors can be very subjective and can allow you to express your style. You can also get some inspiration by reading 7 ways to enhance your outdoor space with landscape lighting. The Ware landscape design team will collaborate with you to achieve your vision.
Naperville’s combination of clay-heavy DuPage County soil, variable Illinois weather, and high HOA expectations creates unique challenges for any landscape project. A plant that thrives in a sunnier suburb can fail within a season in Naperville’s heavier soil without proper drainage and bed preparation.
Our designers have worked in Naperville neighborhoods for over 20 years. We know how water behaves in backyards along the DuPage River corridor. We know which plants survive the freeze-thaw cycles on properties in Cress Creek, White Eagle, and River Run. And we know that HOAs in communities like Tall Grass and Naper Commons have specific requirements around plant height, bed edging, and lawn uniformity that must be built into every design.
Every landscape we design in Naperville starts with a site-specific assessment — not a template. We evaluate soil drainage, sun exposure, existing plant health, and HOA requirements before recommending a single plant. Drainage integration is standard on every project, not an upsell. The result is a landscape that looks great on installation day and still looks great in five years.
We source all plant materials from Chicago’s top nursery — a partnership we’ve maintained for over 20 years. Common plantings for Naperville properties include boxwoods, Bobo and Bloomstruck hydrangeas, flowering shrubs, perennials, and ornamental trees. We always select plants suited to Illinois’s climate, your soil conditions, and your yard’s sun and drainage profile.
Yes. All plants installed by Ware Landscaping come with a 1-year guarantee. For clients who continue with our weekly lawn maintenance program, that guarantee is extended to a lifetime — covering plants for as long as you remain on the maintenance plan.
Yes. Sod and seed installation is one of our core services in Naperville. We handle complete grading, drainage prep (including French drain integration where relevant), and professional sod laying for an instant lawn transformation. Sod installation is often paired with larger landscape design projects and with our drainage services.
Pruning and flower bed edging are included in our weekly lawn maintenance packages, where we maintain them on a regular ongoing basis. For one-time pruning or edging as part of a new installation project, absolutely — this is incorporated into our landscaping install scope. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
