Premier Service

What Premier Service does

Premier Service is a family-owned landscape design, construction, and maintenance company headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois, serving the greater Chicagoland market since 1989. The company operates from three Illinois branches — Oak Brook (headquarters), Crete, and West Chicago — and employs between 101 and 250 people. Its service portfolio spans three primary verticals: residential landscape design/build and ongoing maintenance, commercial property maintenance and snow/ice management, and specialized golf course renovation and maintenance. Core service modules include design/build construction (using a documented five-step process), landscape maintenance programs, masonry, irrigation, outdoor lighting, seasonal rotations, and 24/7 commercial snow removal with GPS-enabled fleet tracking.

The business operates on a hybrid revenue model combining one-time project revenue (design/build, golf course renovation, masonry) with recurring contract revenue (residential and commercial maintenance, commercial snow removal on multi-year cadences). Pricing is quote-based with free consultations; no standard price list is disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, with direct website quote forms (877-998-0030), onsite consultation, and dedicated account teams for commercial and golf clients. Marketing is multi-channel — organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), segmented email newsletters (GROW for residential, Brick & Mortar for commercial), and SEO-driven service pages.

Technology deployment centers on operational tools rather than proprietary platforms: GPS weather alerting systems for commercial snow, water-conservation irrigation design, and specialized golf course equipment (John Deere TruFinish 1220 Bunker Rake, Widenmann Terra Spike XF). The company emphasizes industry recognition through ILCA Gold Awards and Landscape Illinois Gold and Silver Awards for design-build work. Premier remains privately held under founding-family ownership with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entities, or M&A activity.
