When you hire MD Mowing, you aren't just getting premium lawn care, landscaping, and winter snow removal — you're directly supporting a homegrown, student-operated North Shore business. Marcus and his team take personal pride in keeping Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Highland Park, and the surrounding communities looking immaculate in every season.
Where we work.
Based in Lake Forest, serving these North Shore and Lake County communities. Availability depends on the service, property and route. Include your town or ZIP when requesting a quote so we can confirm the fit.
Answers before you ask.
Where do you work?
Lake Forest, Highland Park, Lake Bluff, Knollwood, North Chicago, Libertyville, Deerfield, Highwood, Waukegan, Green Oaks and Lincolnshire. Service and route availability are confirmed for each property before booking.
How often do you mow?
Weekly from April through October is standard. Biweekly is available for lighter properties. We'll recommend what fits your yard on the first visit.
Do you offer one-time cleanups?
Yes. Spring and fall cleanups, mid-season refreshes, and post-storm pickups can all be booked without signing up for recurring service.
Do you take on hardscape projects?
Yes. Retaining walls, garden walls, and bed restorations are priced individually after a brief site visit so we can give you a firm number before any work starts.
How do I get a quote?
Fill out the form below, email us, or call directly. Recurring work is quoted within 24 hours. Hardscape projects need a short site visit first.
Do recurring customers get better pricing?
Yes. Weekly and biweekly clients get a flat seasonal rate and priority on the schedule over one-off visits.
