““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.””

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
