Evanston rules we plan around
- Evanston requires landscape contractors to register with the City before working there.
- Gas- and propane-powered leaf blowers are banned citywide. Electric blowers are allowed only during set hours: weekdays 7 AM–9 PM, Saturday 8 AM–5 PM, Sunday noon–4 PM.
- After a snowfall ends, the public sidewalk next to your property has to be cleared at least 36″ wide within 24 hours. Corner lots also have to clear the ADA ramp.
Before any digging, we request a JULIE utility locate (811), as Illinois law requires.

Snow service detailsEvanston questions
Do you offer weekly lawn mowing in Evanston?
Yes. We mow weekly, never every other week, from spring green-up through late fall. Every visit includes trimming, edging and blowing hard surfaces clean. Most residential lawns run $50–$150 per visit depending on size. Book a free estimate for an exact price.
Do you clear the public sidewalk and corner ramp?
Yes. Sidewalks and ramps are part of our Evanston snow service, cleared to the 36″ width the city requires, so you’re covered within the 24-hour window.
How do you do leaf cleanups without gas blowers?
We plan Evanston cleanups around the ban: raking, hand work and equipment the city allows, during permitted hours.
My yard is small. Is it worth a design?
Small yards benefit the most. A few well-placed plantings, a clean paver path and good drainage do more for a tight lot than anything else.
