“We will only use Ware Landscaping from now on. We are customers for life! Not a paid advertisement although it may sound like one. If you want to know more about our experience let Mike know and we would be happy to share more...It all started with the need to replace our front porch and walkway and has ended most recently with an amazing new back patio and the development of a great friendship. Yes, after three years of projects I consider Mike a great friend, I’m not sure how many companies can say they walk away with not only completing the job but making a new friend as well, but Mike and Ware Landscaping can.

Turning hardscaping Dilemmas into Beautiful Solutions

Wheaton Hardscaping Experts

With proper hardscaping, your lawn can transform into additional living space for your home. Spend summer nights on your patio roasting s’mores, host birthday parties and barbecues, or just relax outside with a good book and a cold drink.

At Ware Landscaping, we’re proud to offer hardscaping services that elevate your family’s outdoor living experience. We can build high-end outdoor kitchens, elegant retaining walls, custom walkways, firepits, and more. Your outdoor areas should be a seamless extension of your indoor living spaces and our hardscaping specialists can make it happen.

Other Wheaton hardscapers only focus on aesthetics—they’ll build nice-looking hardscapes but that’s it. Ware Landscaping, on the other hand, checks for any drainage issues during the hardscaping process, and we’ll build a drainage system alongside your patio, outdoor kitchen, walkway, or other hardscape.

Our Approach: Sustainable, Permeable Hardscapes

Hardscapes shouldn’t just look nice. They should also provide effective water management in your yard. Why go to the trouble of constructing a gorgeous outdoor kitchen or patio only to have it flood one year later?

Fortunately, we specialize in drainage solutions as well as hardscaping. We provide permeable hardscapes that will proactively guard against excess water and prevent pooling, flooding, or soil erosion.

Landscaping vs Hardscaping: What’s the Difference?

Landscaping focuses on living elements in your lawn or outdoor space: trees, shrubs, hedges, flower beds, grass, bushes, etc. Hardscaping deals with the non-living materials in your yard such as patios, stone or cement walkways and driveways, retaining walls, etc.

When you think about landscaping, think natural, living, and organic materials. The goal of landscaping is usually to create a more visually appealing and functional outdoor environment. Landscaping services are also usually ongoing, as grass, trees, and flowers require regular upkeep—they’re living things after all!

Hardscaping structures are man-made, non-living, and generally more permanent than landscaping features.They’re also built with visual appeal in mind, but have more emphasis on structure and functionality. Fences, decks, patios, outdoor kitchens, firepits, retaining walls, and driveways are all examples of hardscaping.

Our experts offer both hardscaping and landscaping services in Wheaton. If you’re unsure which solution is right for you, give us a call! We’d be happy to discuss your vision and offer you a free quote on either our hardscaping or landscaping solutions.

The Benefits of Hardscaping for Your Wheaton Home

If you’re trying to decide whether a big hardscaping project is worth it, consider the enormous value a well-constructed hardscape brings to your lawn.

Property Value: A patio, walkway, driveway, or other structural feature that’s well-designed and aesthetically pleasing can significantly increase your home’s value. By investing in hardscaping, you actually add usable living space to your property.
Proper Drainage: Retaining walls and gravel paths can help manage flooding on your property and prevent soil erosion. If you have slopes or uneven ground in your yard, hardscaping can add structure.
Low Maintenance: If you choose soft landscaping, you’ll have to do regular upkeep to maintain it and keep your lawn looking nice. Depending on your lawn, hardscaping can be a low-maintenance alternative that requires less time and effort from you. Of course, you can also hire experts like Ware Landscaping to do regular lawn maintenance for you.
More Functionality: A patio, outdoor kitchen, driveway, walkway, or other hardscape can make your outdoor space more usable. Turn a plain grass lawn into a space for outdoor cooking, dining, partying, or relaxing.
Increased Privacy: By placing structures like retaining walls or fences in the right spots, you can also add some privacy to your outdoor spaces. You might be on good terms with your neighbors, but you don’t want them to always be able to see what you’re up to!

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.
