Orland Park landscaping
Yes, we work in Orland Park
DLC Professional Landscape Management runs a weekly route into Orland Park all season. From our shop on S Harrison Avenue in Posen it is 9.6 miles, about 18 minutes, west on 147th Street, over on Ridgeland Avenue, then into town on West 143rd Street. Orland Park is the farthest town on our route and still under twenty minutes out, which is why the crew can be here early and stay on schedule through the busy months.
It is also the biggest town we serve, with 58,703 residents, about 24,376 housing units, and the largest retail corridor in the south suburbs. We take care of homeowners on a weekly maintenance visit and handle commercial and multi-family grounds on a set schedule. Same lawn and landscape crew for both, and a real person on the office phone Monday through Friday.
What makes Orland Park lawns different
Orland Park lawns are the biggest ones we cut. The median home here was built in 1989, barely two percent of the housing predates 1940, and the village grew through the 1970s, 80s, and 90s with large lot subdivisions alongside association townhomes and villas. New construction is still going in. Bigger turf areas and bigger plantings mean more ground to keep even, and the standard people hold their yards to here runs higher than average.
That standard has a source. Orland Park calls itself the World's Golf Center, and the claim, printed on the village flag and the water towers, is that roughly 1,089 golf holes sit within a fifteen mile radius. The village is also surrounded by more than 15,000 acres of Cook County forest preserve and about 150 miles of trails. People here look at manicured turf constantly. Underneath all of it is the same heavy south suburban clay, which compacts and drains slowly, so an even, golf course look comes from regular mowing, feeding, and aeration rather than luck.
What we handle here
Landscape services in Orland Park
Lawn Mowing
Orland Park sells itself as the World's Golf Center, with roughly 1,089 golf holes inside a fifteen mile radius printed right on the village flag and the water towers. People here look at manicured turf all week and want their own yard to match. Our grass cutting route runs the same day every week, cuts at the right height for the season, trims every edge, and blows the walks and drive clean. Consistent mowing promotes thicker, healthier grass while preventing weeds, and that is how a lawn gets an even look.
Lawn Fertilization
Bigger Orland Park lots mean more turf to keep even, and the heavy clay underneath means nutrients wash off or lock up instead of feeding the grass. Thin turf is where crabgrass and clover get their opening. Our fertilization program runs professional, timely applications of fertilizer and weed control across the season so the lawn stays dense enough to fight weeds off on its own. Our crew monitors the lawn with each application and will tell you if insect control treatments are necessary. Straight answers, not scare tactics.
Commercial Landscaping
The LaGrange Road corridor around Orland Square Mall is the largest retail strip in the south suburbs, and every property on it needs grounds that look sharp from the road. Our commercial grounds care crews run retail, office, and multi-family sites on a set weekly schedule, handling mowing, trimming, bed care, shrubs, and seasonal clean ups. We take commercial and multi-family work across the entire Chicagoland area, so one company can cover every property you manage. Call the office and a real person will set up a walk through.
Hedge Trimming
A lot of Orland Park landscaping went in with the 1980s and 90s subdivisions, and yews, boxwoods, and arborvitae that were knee high at closing now sit over the windows. Our crew trims hedges and foundation shrubs back to a clean shape and size on a schedule that keeps them healthy, instead of one brutal cut a year that leaves brown holes in the plant. Fence line and property line shrub rows get the same treatment. We haul the clippings away and blow the beds and walks clean before we pull out of the drive.
Why Orland Park calls us
Why Orland Park property owners choose DLC
Plenty of companies will drive out to Orland Park for a big landscape project. DLC is not that company. We are a weekly maintenance service, we do not do design or hardscape, and we run several crews of career landscapers to cover the route. One office manager answers the phone all day Monday through Friday, so nobody gets bounced through a menu to reach a human being.
What that buys you is consistency. A truck goes out with two guys and they do the same work on the same day every week, whether it is a home on a large lot or a retail property on LaGrange Road. Nobody is going to show up and try to sell you a patio. If the lawn needs something, we say so, and if it does not, we cut it and go. Ask for an estimate and you will get one, free and with no obligation.
Where you will see us in Orland Park
LaGrange Road, US Route 45, is the spine of Orland Park and the biggest retail corridor in the region, anchored by Orland Square Mall since 1976. West 143rd Street and Ridgeland Avenue are how we come in from Posen, and 159th Street carries us across the north end past the Sportsplex, the largest indoor recreation facility in the village.
Centennial Park is the village's largest at 192 acres, opened in 1992 for the centennial, with the aquatic center, the winter ice rink, a skate park, and 95 acre Lake Sedgewick with its trails and boardwalks. At the other end of the age scale, the Old Orland Historic District holds the original 1880s core between 143rd Street and 144th Place around Beacon Avenue, where the first Orland State Bank building still stands. Our weekly route covers the neighborhoods around all of it.

On the route in Orland Park

Ask before you hire
Straight answers to landscaping questions
Do you service Orland Park?
Yes, weekly through the season. Orland Park is 9.6 miles from our Posen shop, about 18 minutes out 147th Street to Ridgeland Avenue and into town on West 143rd Street.
My Orland Park lot is larger than average. Is weekly service still the right call?
More turf makes weekly service more important, not less. Skipping a week on a big lawn means taking off too much at once on the next cut, which stresses the grass right when summer heat arrives.
Can you get my lawn looking like the golf courses around here?
The even look comes from three things done consistently: mowing at the right height every week, timely fertilizer and weed control, and core aeration to open up the clay. We do all three on a schedule.
Do you handle commercial properties in Orland Park?
Yes. We maintain retail, office, and multi-family grounds on a set weekly schedule, and we take commercial and multi-family work across the entire Chicagoland area.
When should hedges and foundation shrubs get trimmed?
On a schedule rather than once a year in a panic. Regular trimming keeps the plant filled in and holds its shape, while one severe cut leaves brown holes that can take a couple of seasons to grow back.
How do I get an estimate in Orland Park?
Call the office Monday through Friday and a real person will answer. We come out, look at the property, and give you a free no obligation estimate for weekly maintenance and anything else you want covered.
