Property Management Companies
A single point of contact for multi-property landscaping across Iroquois and Kankakee counties — consistent quality, reliable communication.
You Signed the Contract. Then You Started Managing the Contractor.
It's one of the most common complaints we hear from commercial clients: they hired a landscaping company, and then spent the next six months chasing them for updates, catching skipped visits, and cleaning up inconsistent work.
Commercial properties have a higher standard — and a lot more at stake. A poorly maintained entrance signals neglect. Missed visits create complaints. Contractors who don't communicate leave you fielding calls from tenants and supervisors.
"Commercial clients deserve the same respect a homeowner gets — clear communication, consistent visits, and a contractor who actually answers the phone."

From First Call to Ongoing Partnership — No Surprises
Getting your commercial property on a maintenance program, or starting a new installation, is straightforward. Here's exactly what to expect.
Walk the Property With Jon
We start with a site visit — no charge, no obligation. Jon walks your property, asks about your priorities and budget, and assesses what the property actually needs. You get an honest picture of scope before anyone talks price.
Receive a Clear, Itemized Proposal
Within a few days, you'll receive a written proposal outlining exactly what's included, the schedule, and the cost — broken out so you can see what you're paying for. No vague line items, no hidden fees.
We Handle Everything — You Stop Managing the Contractor
Once you approve the proposal, we take it from there. Scheduled visits happen as planned. If something comes up — a weather delay, a change, a question — Jon contacts you directly. You'll always know what's happening and why.
Trusted by Businesses and Property Managers Across Iroquois & Kankakee County
When a commercial client stays with the same landscaping company for multiple years, it's not because the contract renews automatically. It's because the work is consistent and the relationship is easy.
Jon did a great job adding river rock under our deck. The job wasn't easy, fun or creative like most of their other water features or shorelines, but they were quick, on budget and awesome to work with on our project.
Fast, neat and very easy to work with. He listened to what we wanted and drew up a plan that we only minimally tweaked. Reasonable price. Plan on using him again in the near future. Highly recommend!
We've used Jonathan's company twice over the last year and they've done a wonderful job. His designs are exactly what we wanted. The plants are beautiful and healthy. Jon is very pleasant and easy to work with — we have several other projects on our list for him.

Have a question not answered here? Call Jon directly at (815) 549-5603.
Do you provide commercial landscaping services in Gilman, Kankakee, and surrounding areas?
Yes. Harkins Unique Landscapes provides commercial landscaping services throughout Iroquois County, Kankakee County, Ford County, and portions of Champaign, Vermilion, and Livingston counties. Based in Gilman, IL, we've been the go-to commercial landscaping company in this region since 2009. If you're not sure whether we service your location, call Jon directly at (815) 549-5603.
Can you provide certificates of insurance before starting work?
Yes, absolutely. We carry full general liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance before any work begins on your commercial property. This is standard practice for us — if your property manager, HOA board, or company policy requires documentation before a contractor starts, we provide it without delay or pushback. Just let us know when you request your quote.
How is commercial landscaping pricing structured?
Every commercial property is unique, so we price based on a site visit. After walking your property, we provide a written proposal that clearly outlines what's included, the service schedule, and the price — broken out by service type. We don't use vague bundled pricing or include surprise add-ons. For ongoing maintenance programs, we typically offer monthly or seasonal billing. For one-time installations or cleanups, we invoice upon completion.
What's included in a commercial grounds maintenance program?
Commercial maintenance programs are customized to each property, but typically include scheduled mowing, edging along sidewalks and curbs, trimming of shrubs and ornamental plantings, blowing clippings from hard surfaces, and general site cleanup after each visit. We can also include fertilization, bed maintenance, and weed control as part of a comprehensive program. Everything is outlined in your proposal before work begins.
Do you handle commercial landscape design and installation, or just maintenance?
Both. Harkins Unique Landscapes handles the full scope — commercial landscape design, new installation (plantings, hardscape, lighting), and ongoing maintenance programs. Many of our commercial clients start with an installation project and then continue with us for ongoing grounds care. Having the same company do both means we already know your property and what it needs going forward.
How do I get a quote for commercial landscaping services?
The simplest way is to call Jon directly at (815) 549-5603 or fill out the contact form on our website. We'll schedule a site visit at a time that works for your schedule — typically within a few business days. The site visit is free and there's no obligation. After the walkthrough, you'll receive a written proposal within a few days. No commitment required until you approve the proposal and are ready to move forward.
