Winter in Oak Brook, Illinois can bring inclement weather and create many headaches for commercial property owners. Snow may transform your landscape into a winter wonderland, but it can also transform your parking lots, walkways, and entranceways into a hazardous nightmare.
You shouldn’t have to contend with the obstacles ice and snow can create on your own — you need to be able to concentrate on keeping your business safely operational. The Oak Brook commercial snow removal team at Ware Landscaping can take care of your winter weather needs and give you peace of mind.
What you need to know about Oak Brook snow removal
Each winter, Oak Brook experiences an average of 31 inches of snow— slightly above the US average of 28 inches. Overcast skies and freezing temperatures here can cause accumulated snow to turn into unsightly, gray ice and create slick conditions.
The consistency of snowfall in Oak Brook can mean a constant need for snow removal on commercial properties. However, the manual labor involved can prove taxing for property owners to contend with, and can take away time needed for a business to thrive during the winter.
Shoveling heavy snow can also exacerbate health risks and could cause significant injury, heart attacks, and strokes. Performing untrained heavy labor in freezing temperatures has also caused tragic fatalities. If you do choose to take care of clearing your property on your own, it’s vital that you take necessary precautions.
However, trained, professional snow removal teams with proven track records can take care of your needs, give you peace of mind, and allow you to avoid exposure to the elements.

Here are some of the ways Ware Landscaping is ready to help:
- Our professional grade snow plows enable us to clear your parking lots quickly and make them safe for employees, clients, renters, and passersby.

- Our snow removal contracts cover the hard–to–reach areas of your property as well. For example, if you have a back parking lot that’s inaccessible to a large snow plow, we’ll utilize our other equipment to clear this area.
