About

Quality > quantity. It's the whole business plan.

A locally owned outdoor services company that would rather do fewer properties properly than more of them badly.

Our story

Built from the ground up.

JM Lawn Maintenance started when Aurav was in sixth grade with a rake and a push mower. The following year, he borrowed $1,500 from his dad to invest in more equipment, including a riding mower, and hired his first employee.

A year later came the company’s first truck. Since then, JM has continued to grow its equipment, crew, and service capabilities while keeping the same hands-on standard that started it all.

Today, JM Lawn Maintenance serves properties across the Greater Chicago Area with lawn maintenance, landscape enhancements, excavation, and snow & ice services. Aurav remains directly involved in the work and the customer experience.

Our standard

Why the lawns look like that.

Commercial equipment

Zero-turns and stand-ons, maintained in-house with blades sharpened on schedule. Sharp blades are the difference between a cut lawn and a torn one.

Same crew, same day

A fixed service day and familiar faces each week. No rotating subcontractors on your property.

Written estimates

Scope and price in writing before work starts, and no line items added after the fact.

Fully licensed & insured

Professional, insured service for residential and commercial properties. Documentation available on request.

Equipment

The right machine for the job.

Commercial mowers for turf, compact machines for dirt, and plow trucks for winter. Owning the equipment outright means we're not renting on your timeline or subbing out the parts we'd rather control.

  • TurfCommercial zero-turn and stand-on mowers for everything from tight residential lots to open acreage.
  • GroundSkid steer and compact attachments for grading, hauling and site prep.
  • WinterPlow trucks and salt equipment running set routes all season.

Common questions

Before you call.

How much does lawn maintenance cost?

It depends on lot size, obstacles and how often you want service. We walk the property before quoting, and the estimate comes in writing with the scope spelled out.

Do you offer one-time cleanups?

Yes. Spring and fall cleanups, one-time cuts on overgrown lots, and single mulch jobs are all available without a season-long commitment.

Do I need a snow contract, or can I call per storm?

Both work. Seasonal contracts give you a flat rate and a defined trigger depth; per-storm service is billed by the event. Commercial sites generally want a contract.

What happens if it rains on my service day?

We shift the route and get to you as soon as the turf is dry enough to cut without damaging it. You'll hear from us if the day changes.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — JM Lawn Maintenance is fully licensed and insured. Documentation is available on request.
