About Our Lawn Care & Landscaping Services
Your Lawn Maintenance & Fertilizing Questions, Answered
From mowing frequency to fertilizer schedules, we answer common questions about lawn care in the South Suburbs and Northwest Indiana, helping homeowners make informed decisions.
We use a variety of professional-grade products, including rock salt, calcium chloride, and potassium chloride, depending on the temperature and the surface we are treating.
Yes. We specialize in commercial snow and ice management for local businesses, HOAs, and municipal properties. We monitor the weather 24/7 to ensure your parking lots and sidewalks are cleared and de-iced before your doors open.
Utermark & Sons provides expert residential and commercial landscaping services throughout the South Suburbs. Our team handles every phase of the project, including landscape consultation, installation, and ongoing maintenance. From installing hardscape features like brick patios and retaining walls to planting new shrubs and trees, we’ve got your property covered.
We don’t believe in trapping people in complicated contracts. Our agreement doesn’t have a specific “end date”; it simply states that Utermark & Sons reserves the right to be paid for the work we do. We’re here to earn your business every time we show up.
Not a problem at all, though the first “knock-down” mow will cost a bit more depending on the height. After that first visit, every following mow stays at your regular flat price—provided you stay on the schedule and don’t skip multiple weeks in a row.
To keep our routes consistent for our regular customers, we don’t offer one-time mows or same-day service. Our process is simple: we send out an estimator to provide a quote (which we can email or leave at your door). Once you sign the proposal and provide a down payment for the first cut, we’ll get you right onto our scheduled maintenance rotation.
Our standard lawn maintenance includes professional mowing, string trimming around all obstacles, and blowing clippings off your driveways and walkways to keep your property looking sharp.
