The family-friendly Chicago suburb of Oak Brook, Illinois has all the amenities you need but also the space that you crave. When the daily grind wears you down, coming home to decompress is priceless. However, if you pull up to a yard full of swampy, muddy water, you may not feel as relaxed as you’d like.
When weather extremes wreak havoc on your property, you may notice that standing water has become a persistent issue. We’ve been Oak Brook yard drainage experts for over a decade now, so we know how to handle the rain, sleet, snow, and slush that may be creating issues on your lawn.
We have been honored to serve the greater Chicago area since we opened our doors in 2000. We love working with our clients to design premier landscapes, build patios, retaining walls, and even install holiday lighting. But the foundation for all of that is a good drainage system. If you don’t have that in place, your plans will be undermined.

It’s a pretty alarming statistic, but the fact is that 85% of home repair expenses are the result of water damage. And drainage problems are extremely common in northeastern Illinois, where we get an average of 37” of snow and 37” of rainfall annually.
A water-logged lawn not only cuts into the enjoyment of your outdoor areas, but it can also have a negative impact on the value of your property.
And from a health and safety standpoint, the danger is no joke. Leaky gutters and drainage issues can lead to water seeping into your foundation, your crawl space, and basement, causing massive damage to your home and your family.
Ware landscaping is proud to offer local homeowners and businesses
peace of mind by providing the best professional Oak Brook drainage solutions available.

During the process we will evaluate if you are getting water in your basement, flooding and sitting water in your yard, downspout drainage, accounting for sump pump discharge and if there is a nearby storm sewer or low point to drain the water to.

Poor drainage can cause water to pool in low-lying areas of the yard, which can result in soil erosion and the loss of fertile topsoil.
There are several telltale signs that you have a drainage problem in your yard, including a damp crawl space or basement, struggling or dying plants, and pools or puddles of water in lower-lying areas on your property.
There are some DIY solutions, but having a professional lawn drainage specialist in Oak Brook diagnose and correct yard drainage issues will save you money in the long run.
The installation of drainage around houses is typically performed by a professional contractor who specializes in land grading and excavation, or in landscape design and construction. The drainage experts at Ware Landscaping have over a decade’s experience assessing drainage issues and installing systems to ensure your lawn stays healthy year-round.
Drainage Solutions Ware Landscaping Provides
A common solution for drainage problems is to direct rainwater to a low point in your yard, allowing it to flow away from the house naturally over rocks in a dry creek bed. During heavy storms, a catch basin can be used to capture debris that is washed away by excess water, helping to prevent blockages and maintain proper drainage. This method effectively manages water runoff and reduces the risk of flooding around your home.
