Landscaping & snow removal in Highland Park, IL
Highland Park’s bluffs and wooded ravines make for beautiful properties and serious drainage questions. We plan for both.
What we do in Highland Park

Highland Park rules we plan around
- Every landscaper working in Highland Park needs a city license, with insurance on file and the company name on its vehicles.
- Gas leaf blowers are allowed only April 1–30 and October 1–November 30.
- From May 15 to September 15, sprinklers are off from noon to 6 PM and follow an odd/even address schedule.
- Patio permits need a detailed plat of survey. Patios must sit at least 2 feet from property lines, and adding more than 250 square feet of hard surface often triggers a drainage and grading permit.
- Removing a tree 8″ or wider (or multi-stem trees totaling 15″) needs a permit.
Before any digging, we request a JULIE utility locate (811), as Illinois law requires.
Highland Park questions
Will my patio need a grading permit?
Often, if it adds more than 250 square feet of hard surface. We plan drainage from the start so the review goes smoothly.
Who is responsible if a contractor pushes snow into the street?
The owner gets cited, even if the contractor did it. Our crews stack snow on your property or parkway, never in the street.
Do you work on sloped or ravine lots?
Yes. Grading and drainage are part of every install we do, which matters most on sloped ground.
