What Christy Webber Landscapes does

Christy Webber Landscapes is a privately held, founder-led full-service landscape provider headquartered at 2900 W. Ferdinand Street in Chicago, Illinois. Founded by Christy Webber as a mowing business in the late 1980s and incorporated in 1994 (rebranded to its current name in 1997), the company employs more than 400 staff and operates exclusively across the Chicago metropolitan area. It delivers four core service lines — Design, Build, Maintenance, and Enhancements — supplemented by a commercial snow removal offering supported by a GPS-equipped fleet of over 100 trucks and more than 40 skid steers.

The company's service portfolio is built around landscape architecture, hardscape and irrigation construction, horticultural maintenance using integrated pest management, seasonal enhancement displays, and certified Live Roof green roof installation, where it claims the largest cumulative installed square footage of green roofs in the United States. Operations are organized into Residential, Commercial, Municipal, and Enhancements segments, with named marquee accounts including Soldier Field, Millennium Park, Navy Pier, University of Chicago, McCormick Place, Chicago Water Tower, City of Naperville, Chicago Bulls Practice Facility, Westfield Old Orchard, and The Carlyle. Distribution is exclusively direct, via sales-led enterprise and municipal bidding, architect and general contractor partnerships (including Turner Construction), and a five-step in-person consultation process for residential clients; the company holds Women-Owned Business, Female Business Enterprise, and NGLCC certifications.

Christy Webber Landscapes makes money through professional services contracts on a quote-based, individually negotiated pricing model with no public rate disclosure. Revenue is generated from one-time landscape design and build projects combined with recurring maintenance, seasonal enhancement rotations, and winter snow removal programs that together create a multi-stream services business. In 2026 the company filed an antitrust lawsuit against John Deere regarding equipment repair restrictions, and it maintains a 'Business Family' of adjacent brands (Christy Webber Farm & Garden, RR Landscape Supply, Kinsella Landscape) that extend into horticultural retail and supply distribution.

Direct peers

• BrightView Landscapes: Largest U.S. commercial landscaping services company, offering design-build, maintenance, and snow removal to property managers and municipalities nationwide. Directly comparable full-service model; the closest scaled analog to Christy Webber but operating across multiple geographies.
• Ruppert Landscape: Privately held regional landscape services firm headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic, providing design-build, maintenance, and snow/ice management to commercial, HOA, and institutional clients. Closely comparable service mix and customer profile to Christy Webber, with similar multi-service bundling.
• Yellowstone Landscape: Southeast-focused commercial landscape services provider offering maintenance, design-build, and irrigation across multiple states. Comparable to Christy Webber's commercial-maintenance and snow-removal-led model with similar bundling across property types.
• The Davey Tree Expert Company: Employee-owned provider of tree care, grounds management, and landscape services to utility, commercial, and residential clients across North America. Comparable as a multi-service outdoor services firm with strong municipal and commercial relationships, though broader geographically.
• Mariani Landscape: High-end residential and commercial landscape design, build, and maintenance firm serving affluent homeowners and corporate campuses, primarily in the Midwest. Closely comparable to Christy Webber's premium residential design work and selected commercial campus projects.
• Bartlett Tree Experts: Scientific tree and shrub care provider with residential and commercial landscape services across the U.S. and internationally. Comparable on the arboriculture and landscape maintenance side of Christy Webber's offering, though more tree-care focused.

Broad incumbents

• TruGreen: Largest U.S. residential and commercial lawn care company offering fertilization, weed/pest control, and limited landscape services nationally. Comparable on residential maintenance but operates at much smaller project scale and does not compete on design-build or municipal work where Christy Webber is strongest.

Others

• SiteOne Landscape Supply: Largest U.S. wholesale distributor of landscape and nursery supplies, serving landscape contractors and irrigation professionals. Ecosystem partner rather than direct competitor; Christy Webber is a potential customer for plants, hardscape, and irrigation supplies.
