CNC Landscapes

Built on more than two decades of hands-on experience, CNC Landscapes has grown from a one-truck operation into a full-service landscape company serving both residential and commercial clients throughout the western suburbs. Founded by Chad Uthe, the company reflects a steady commitment to craftsmanship, planning, and community—values that continue to guide its work today.

CNC Landscapes specializes in lawn care, landscape design and construction, and snow services, offering clients a comprehensive approach to outdoor environments. Whether designing a new landscape from the ground up or maintaining an established property through every season, the team focuses on creating spaces that are both functional and enduring. The work is grounded in the understanding that outdoor spaces are not static; they evolve over time, shaped by weather, use, and thoughtful care.

For homeowners planning a new build or major renovation, CNC emphasizes the importance of starting with a long-term vision. Even when projects are completed in phases, having a comprehensive plan from the outset helps ensure consistency and prevents costly rework down the line. This big-picture mindset allows outdoor living spaces to grow naturally alongside a home, while still aligning with practical timelines and budgets.

While technology has transformed many aspects of design and planning, CNC Landscapes believes the heart of the industry remains unchanged. Skilled craftsmanship, attention to detail, and on-site experience cannot be replicated by software alone. It is the hands of experienced professionals—those who understand materials, grading, drainage, and installation—that ultimately bring designs to life with precision and care.

Beyond its project work, CNC Landscapes is deeply rooted in the community it serves. The company actively supports local charities, youth sports, schools, and events, viewing community involvement as an essential responsibility rather than an obligation. CNC is proud to contribute to organizations and initiatives such as Clarendon Hills Daisy Days, the Infant Welfare League, Prospect Elementary School, Clarendon Hills Middle School Pizza Wars, Walker Elementary School, and Clarendon Hills Little League.

This combination of technical expertise, thoughtful planning, and community engagement has defined CNC Landscapes for more than 20 years. As outdoor spaces continue to play an increasingly important role in how people live and gather, CNC remains focused on doing what it has always done best—creating landscapes designed to last and to be lived in.
