Ware Landscaping was founded in 2000 by founder Mike Ware, but to hear him tell the company's history, it has essentially been in existence since he was 14, mowing lawns in the neighborhood for money. Mike's parents were an essential part of the business since day one, and are still full-time members of the organization to this day.
Mike recalls his mom dropping him off to mow lawns, and returning later to pick him up. His father helped him purchase his first commercial-grade mower and trailer, and they've been a source of support throughout the company's history. Today, the team at Ware Landscaping helps homeowners and businesses in Naperville and throughout Chicagoland with landscaping, drainage, and snow removal.
Their guiding mission is not just to help take the burden of lawn care off of your hands, but to help make an impact on your life and your family's life. If they can help you build an outdoor kitchen, or patio, or create a space in your backyard for your family to enjoy, they believe that they've made a positive impact in your life.

Our experience with Mike and his crew was excellent. He personally took the time to plan and pick out items for our landscape, as well as personally overview the project. When all was said and done he even insisted on personally mowing our lawn again after the mowing crew. Clearly quality and service are top priorities.

I had new soil and sod laid and the guys did a great job. They worked hard and responded to questions and changes without any problems. They made sure everything was in order and cleaned up after the job was finished. I have also used Ware for a water filtering system and I have not had any problem since they installed it as well!
Thank you so much for such a great job my lawn looks wonderful!

Mike and his team were great! He was prompt in his response time and his team was thorough w/their work (fall clean up). Our favorite part of their work was the Christmas light install-they fit us in their calendar in a timely fashion and did an overall great job putting up a beautiful Christmas light display! So happy w/the overall service!

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

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 and we are so pleased with it. Thank you Ware!

Mike and his team did an incredible job at our house. From the moment he arrived, he was kind and professional. He listened carefully to our situation, asked great questions and investigated our property. From there he created an excellent plan and proposal for our home.
We had water flow problems on our property and this was the perfect solution. Once the work began they were hard working and always helpful if I had any questions.
The work was completed and we are so happy with he result. Not only is it an excellent solution to our problem but our property looks amazing.
Thank you Mike Ware

From the first phone call to plan an estimate which was answered by Connie, the initial design and estimate by Mike, to the completed project and final walk-thru by the operations manager Greg everything was 100 percent professional. The team walked us thru the plan, laid out everything from the plan, reviewed the layout against the plan, made recommendations for improvements based off their experience, listened and answered my questions and even used one of my many suggestions . A very professional and highly skilled team with the ability to take an idea into a picture and then take that from

Ware Landscaping came completely redid my whole yard, and my wife and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. They also built us a patio, that we just love. Here are some before, during, and after pictures. We would highly recommend, Michael, Francisco, Leonardo, and the rest of the folks at Ware Landscaping.

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!
