““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.

Landscaping Makeover

Good Landscaping Can Transform Your Property

Well-designed and consistently maintained landscaping can add so much value to a property. It boosts curb appeal and makes your outdoor spaces more enjoyable for you and your family. Doing your landscaping yourself, however, means spending all your time on doing the work and no time to actually enjoy your lawn, garden, or patio.

Hiring a landscaper is an investment, but think of the lost time you’ll get back: you won’t have to make trips to the home and garden store, unload heavy bags of mulch and sod, check for potential drainage problems, or research which types of soil are best for the Wilmette area.

Our experts at Ware Landscaping can do all of that for you. We can keep your lawn maintained and help you design the outdoor environment of your dreams. If you have a certain vision for your lawn but no time or resources to make it a reality, Ware Landscaping is the partner you need.

Your lawn will look beautiful, and you can focus on daily life or other projects around the house. Let our Wilmette landscapers take care of your lawn for you.

Our Wilmette services include:

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!”

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do landscaping projects take?

Landscaping projects vary significantly from one property to another, and the more complex the project is, the longer it will take. Installing a French drain will almost always take longer than laying down new sod, for example. Our projects generally last from 1-6 weeks, but we will provide you with a specific timeline before we begin the work.

Do I need a permit to start landscaping in Wilmette?

Residential landscaping projects don’t usually need permits. If we have to remove large sections of soil, however, we may have to get special permission. Our experts know the zoning and landscaping laws for Wilmette and the surrounding areas, so we’ll make sure the project is legally compliant.

When is the best time of year to start a landscaping project?

The ideal season for new landscaping projects in Wilmette is spring. March and April are good for planning the layout, and May is the best month for planting. Northeastern Illinois weather can be unpredictable in spring, so it’s best to wait until at least May to start planting.

Will Ware Landscaping mow my lawn?

We offer lawn mowing at Ware Landscaping, but only if it’s bundled with another service, such as yard maintenance. We are Wilmette’s premium landscapers, so we like to focus on big projects that can transform your outdoor experience, such as yard drainage systems and hardscaping.
