Hillside Landscape is a family-owned landscaper serving Lake County and Chicago's North Shore since 2001. We hold full-season grounds contracts for associations, condominiums and commercial properties — one accountable crew that handles the whole property, keeps a consistent schedule, and stays reachable when a board member or property manager needs an answer.
A full-season contract, handled by one crew
We scope the whole property into a single season contract so the common areas look cared-for every week — and you're not juggling a different vendor for turf, beds, cleanups and snow.
The vendor that actually shows up — and answers
The most common complaint boards bring us is a maintenance company that went quiet — missed visits, no callbacks, a rotating cast of unfamiliar faces. We're built the opposite way: the same crew services your property on a consistent schedule, you have one point of contact, every visit is documented, and when your board or property manager reaches out, you get a straight answer. No subcontractor churn, no guessing whether the mowers came.
Mowing & turf care
Weekly mowing, trimming and edging of common-area lawns and entrances, kept crisp and uniform across the whole property through the growing season.
Bed & shrub maintenance
Pruning, trimming, weeding and bed edging that keep entrances and islands looking intentional — plus fresh mulch each season.
Seasonal color
Annual flower rotations at signs, entrances and clubhouses — a fresh, maintained first impression for residents, prospects and tenants.
Spring & fall cleanups
A thorough fall cleanup and spring reset — leaves, debris, bed prep and cutbacks — so the property turns each season cleanly.
Fertilization & weed control
A scheduled fertilization and weed-control program that keeps common-area turf thick, green and resistant through Chicagoland's swings.
Snow & ice management
Add winter snow & ice management — see commercial snow removal — and keep one vendor on the property all four seasons.
Scoped and quoted per property
HOA and commercial grounds work is bid per property — there's no flat price list, because no two associations have the same acreage, bed footage, entrances or snow obligations. We walk the property, scope the season, and put a clear contract in front of your board or manager. No surprises, no vague scope.
From walkthrough to a property that just runs
Property walkthrough
We walk the grounds with your board or manager, note common areas, entrances, beds and snow priorities, and learn what's been falling through the cracks.
Scope & proposal
You get a clear full-season proposal — tasks, frequency and scope spelled out — priced for your specific property so the board can review and approve with confidence.
One crew, on schedule
The same family crew services the property on a consistent cadence — and stays through winter for snow — so residents and tenants see the same familiar faces.
Documented & reachable
Visits are documented and you have one point of contact — so when a board member or manager asks what was done or needs something added, you get a prompt, straight answer.
A vendor your board can count on
Family-owned since 2001 and licensed & insured in Illinois, Hillside serves 14+ Lake County and North Shore communities — and because we handle landscaping and snow, your property keeps one vendor through all four seasons instead of a handoff every winter.
HOA & commercial questions
- What kinds of properties do you maintain?
- Homeowners and condominium associations, townhome communities, office and retail properties, and the property managers who oversee them across Lake County and the North Shore. We scope each contract to the property's common areas and entrances.
- How is pricing determined?
- Every property is bid individually — there's no flat rate. After the walkthrough we build a clear full-season contract scoped and quoted to your property's size, bed footage, entrances and snow needs, so the board knows exactly what's included.
- Do you also handle snow so we have one vendor?
- Yes. You can fold snow & ice management into your grounds contract — see our commercial snow removal page — and keep one accountable crew on the property year-round instead of handing off every winter.
- Who will our board or manager actually talk to?
- One point of contact — the same family operation that runs the crew. We keep service documented and stay reachable, so you aren't chasing callbacks or wondering whether a visit happened. Reliable communication is the whole point.
- What areas do you serve?
- Lake County and the North Shore — including Deerfield, Lake Forest, Highland Park, Lincolnshire, Glenview, Northbrook, Winnetka and the surrounding communities.
