Northbrook patio and driveway rules
- The Village requires a permit to install or replace a patio, driveway, service walk or stoop.
- New patios need a plat of survey showing the pavement being removed, the new pavement and the material.
- Adding more than 400 square feet of new hard surface requires civil engineering drawings.
- The Village charges an impervious surface fee per square foot of net new hard surface, so a patio’s size affects its permit cost.
- A Tree Protection Agreement is part of the permit packet, and a new gas fire pit or grill needs extra gas-line paperwork.
Before any digging, we request a JULIE utility locate (811), as Illinois law requires.

Lawn care in Northbrook
We already have weekly lawn clients in Northbrook. Lawns here are generally larger and well kept, so the job is keeping them uniform: consistent height, sharp edges and clippings off every hard surface. Every fall we offer aeration and overseeding to thicken lawns before winter.
How weekly lawn care worksFall cleanup in Northbrook
Northbrook’s mature trees drop leaves well into November. We plan fall cleanups in two passes where needed, then finish with a final cut and bed cleanup.

Snow service detailsNorthbrook questions
Do you offer weekly lawn mowing in Northbrook?
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.
Will my patio need engineering drawings?
Only if it adds more than 400 square feet of new hard surface. We’ll tell you up front if your design crosses that line and what it adds.
Is replacing an old patio simpler than building a new one?
Usually. A remove-and-replace with no net change in hard surface uses the Village’s simpler permit packet and doesn’t add impervious surface fees.
Can you add a gas fire pit?
Yes, with the extra gas-line documentation the Village requires and a licensed plumber for the gas connection.
