Landscaping & snow removal in Winnetka, IL
Winnetka properties deserve careful work: mature trees, historic homes and village rules that reward planning.
What we do in Winnetka
Winnetka has some of the North Shore’s most established properties. Our work here centers on landscape design and installation, patios and walks planned around mature trees, and weekly care that keeps it all looking finished.
- Landscape design and planting
- Paver patios, walks and permeable pavers
- Weekly lawn care and cleanups
- Irrigation
- Snow and ice removal
Winnetka rules we plan around
- Gas leaf blowers are banned except in April, October and November, with limited hours even then. Landscaping companies also need a Village leaf blower license.
- Removing any tree 8″ or wider needs a Village permit and a replacement deposit ($250 per inch of replacement diameter), refunded once the approved plan is complete.
- Driveways, walks, patios and pools count toward a 50% cap on impermeable lot coverage. Engineered permeable pavers count at 75%, which can make room for a bigger patio.
Before any digging, we request a JULIE utility locate (811), as Illinois law requires.
Winnetka questions
Can permeable pavers help with lot coverage?
Yes. Winnetka counts engineered permeable pavers at 75% of their area, so they can let you build more patio within the coverage cap.
What if a tree is in the way of my project?
Removing a tree 8″ or wider needs a permit and a replacement deposit. We design around good trees wherever we can.
How do you handle leaf cleanup?
Big cleanups are scheduled inside the months when gas blowers are allowed, and the rest of the year is done by hand and with permitted equipment.
