For the past dozen years, we have been among the many local organizations who set up booths at Oak Park’s de facto “town square” happening: “A Day in Our Village.”
Held on the first Sunday of June, the event at Scoville Park falls on June 4th will be the 44th in its history—only six years longer than we’ve been around.
The past winter, or lack thereof, was punctuated by warmer than average temperatures and one of the longest snow droughts in Chicago’s meteorological history. For those who despise the winter months, this uncharacteristic weather inspired great praise.

And having crossed the midway point of winter, meaning we are closer to spring than you may realize, it's not too soon to begin thinking about--and taking action toward--transforming your own exterior environment. For nearly 40 years, transitioning from one season to the next (and from one season of a family's life to its next), we have been privileged to do that for clients throughout the Chicago area.
"For better or worse, your business will be judged by its cover."
Remember two Sundays ago, when about a half-foot of snow came down? (Much like this past Sunday!)
That night, shortly after 10 o’clock, one of our subcontractors needed “to call it a night” without getting to one of our clients, a Catholic grade school.
With the arrival of snow--in a big, blustery way--this past weekend, our Snow and Ice Management services come into sharp focus.
Our dedicated and quick-response snow team is accomplished at clearing the sidewalks, parking lots and roads around you to ensure the operation and safety of your business is unimpeded. Learn more on our Snow and Ice Management page.
