Do we offer mowing only services?

No, we do not. We only offer full-service lawn maintenance packages where we take care of everything, including weekly mowing, spring cleanup, weekly cleanups, fall cleanup, and an organic fertilizer program.

What is included in the weekly cleanup service?

We will perform mini cleanups on the flowerbeds each week while we are out cutting the grass. We will focus on weeding, edging beds, and trimming bushes on a weekly basis. This is a game changer and will keep the yard looking great all throughout the season.

Ware Wilmette Lawn Maintenance Services

Ware Landscaping lawn maintenance services in Wilmette enhance your lawn’s health and appearance, and allow you to get the most out of your yard. Our services include mulch and organic fertilizer installation, seasonal clean ups, weekly clean ups and lawn mowing, and more.

You can combine Wilmette yard drainage services with lawn maintenance services to protect your property from water damage and allow your lawn to thrive. Take advantage of our zero-tolerance snow removal services to keep your property clear through the winter months, too!

Here are some of the highlights of our Wilmette lawn maintenance services.

Mulching

Mulching is crucial to a lush and healthy lawn. It enhances your landscaping features, promotes healthy grass growth, and optimizes soil health. Nevertheless, perfect mulch installation requires strategic timing and exact measurement.

Ideally, mulching should occur in mid-to-late spring after the ground completely thaws and your soil warms so healthy plant growth can occur. If you mulch too early (before thawing is complete) or too late (after summer has begun), topsoil damage can occur, and the vital nutrients mulch provides to plant roots and soil may be blocked.

Mulch is eco-friendly, reduces weed growth, provides nutrients to promote healthy soil and plants, and organically decomposes. Ware Landscaping lawn maintenance services in Wilmette offer exact and strategically timed mulch installation to provide ground moisture and protect healthy plant roots.

We’ll install premium hardwood mulch throughout your flower beds and gardens to highlight the beauty of your landscaping features.

Spring Clean Up

Wilmette lawn maintenance services rejuvenate your yard after the cold, humid winter months. Our spring clean up optimizes the appearance of your yard and beautifies your landscape features.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I water my Wilmette lawn?

You should water your Wilmette lawn deeply, but not necessarily frequently. Ensure your grass and topsoil are saturated after watering your yard.

A good rule of thumb is to wait until your soil has dried before you rewater. Watering your lawn once a week is a good guideline for yards in the greater Chicago area.

Overwatering your lawn can cause numerous issues, including compacted soil, fungal growth (including brown patches in your lawn), root drowning (which leads to shallow plant roots), insect infestation, weed growth, and more.

What are the most important steps in lawn maintenance?

Fall and Spring Clean Ups are crucial first steps to great lawn maintenance. Fall clean ups prevent soil erosion and prepares your yard for winter. A mid-spring clean up cleans yard debris and pollutants, fosters new plant growth, optimizes healthy soil, and nourishes plant roots.

Both seasonal clean ups reduce insect infestation and weed prevention, too. Mulch installation, regular mowing, and organic fertilizer programs help improve soil health and allow your yard to thrive.

Does poor drainage affect my lawn?

Yes, poor yard drainage can have a significant impact on the health of your lawn. An ineffective drainage system can create costly issues, kill your plants and grass, and cause safety hazards and health risks.

Ware Landscaping drainage specialists in Wilmette provide customized, cost-effective, and long-lasting solutions to protect your property from water damage and optimize your yard.

Poor drainage can cause the following challenges:

Black Mold
Clogged Gutters
Dead Grass
Foundational Cracks
Fungal Growth
Insect Infestation
Leaky Pipes
Mildew
Root Rot
Soil Erosion
Structural Damage
Swampy Conditions
Warped Floorboards

What is the difference between landscaping and lawn maintenance?

Landscaping involves designing, planning, and transforming outdoor spaces to enhance their aesthetic and functional appeal, including tasks like planting trees, installing hardscapes (e.g., patios or walkways), and creating garden layouts. Lawn maintenance, on the other hand, focuses on the routine care of existing grass areas, including mowing, fertilizing, weed control, and aeration, to keep the lawn healthy and well-maintained. While landscaping creates or redefines outdoor environments, lawn maintenance ensures ongoing upkeep of the grassy areas. For professional assistance, explore Landscaping Services in Wilmette to transform or maintain your outdoor space.

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.
