The Lake Forest City Council approved an ordinance
requiring that landscape maintenance and arborist firms
obtain a license in order to work within the City limits.
The ordinance was passed in order to protect the community
and create awareness of which companies are beautifying our
neighborhoods. Additionally, residents can be assured that
the firm they hire maintains appropriate insurance and that
their quality of service meets the standards they represent.
The companies should register annually with the City by March 1. A registration fee of $100 must be paid at which time
the firm will receive important information, including
copies of the landscape maintenance, tree preservation and
noise ordinances, a brochure on safe practices to help
protect our ravines, and a map indicating the “No Truck”
routes.
A list of firms registered to operate within The City of
Lake Forest is posted below. For additional details, please
