If you’re a commercial property or homeowner in Winnetka, Illinois, you should be able to take pride in your greatest investment, and enjoy the outdoor sanctuary of your yard. Your landscaping reflects your unique style and allows you to create the yard of your dreams.

However, drainage issues can threaten the health of your yard and your property’s foundation. If you don’t have the right yard drainage system in place, your yard can quickly become undesirable. You might face significant damage and soaring expenses.

The Winnetka yard drainage services at Ware Landscaping can assess your property, and design and install an effective yard drainage system to give you peace of mind and allow you and your loved ones to fully enjoy your property.

Commercial properties need excellent yard drainage, too.

If you own a commercial property and your lawn is constantly flooded or full of dead grass and bugs, visitors will turn away. A commercial property without effective yard drainage solutions and unmaintained landscaping erodes trust and isn’t welcoming.

The expert drainage specialists of family-owned and operated Ware Landscaping are passionate about helping you to create and maintain the yard of your dreams through every season. We understand the unique needs of your Winnetka yard because we live here too.

“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 and Pump Assisted Systems

We’ll optimize your well and pump-assisted drainage systems and protect your yard from water damage and flooding.

Unburied Downspouts and Sump Pump

Your downspouts and sump pump should be buried and connected to either a French drain or a storm sewer. Unburied downspouts and sump pumps can lead to costly water damage.

Commercial Snow Removal

We visit your commercial property after all predicted snow events — even light snow flurries — and don’t wait for 2”+ of snow before we ensure the safety of your property.

Residential Snow removal

Kid and Pet-Safe and Salt-Free Options

Our deicer is kid and pet-safe and 100% salt-free. We pretreat ice-prone areas on your property to eliminate slip and fall risks so that your loved ones are safe after a weather event.

The benefits of hiring specialists for yard drainage services in Winnetka include:

We know the stress and challenges poor drainage can cause. We’re your neighbors and understand the issues of our moisture-heavy climate.

How the Yard Drainage Magic Unfolds

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.

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.

Yard Drainage: Frequently Asked Questions

How does yard grading impact drainage?

If your yard isn’t properly graded, it won’t have the slope required to divert water away from your foundation. Ware Landscaping can grade your yard as needed to prevent water from pooling on your property.

What maintenance does a yard drainage system require?

Ware Landscaping recommends a French drain system, as these yard drains require little to no maintenance, and we also offer consistent drainage maintenance services. However, you should clean dirt and debris out of your gutters and downspouts, keep your yard free of debris, and regularly inspect your yard drains.

How can poor yard drainage negatively affect my home?

Along with basement flooding and foundational cracks, poor drainage can cause water to seep into your foundation, warp floorboards, cause mildew, and create hazardous black mold conditions.

Why should I hire a professional landscaping team to install yard drains?

Assessing your property, selecting the right drainage system, and efficient installation requires seasoned professionals. You can save money on costly repairs and maintenance headaches, and enjoy a yard free from water-logged issues by hiring the right yard drainage services team.

How does yard drainage protect my landscaping

Proper yard drainage protects the health of your soil, allows plants and roots to get the moisture and nutrients they need, prevents flooding, and increases your property’s curb appeal.
