Homer Glen Landscape Business Granted Extension Due to Utility Delays
Will County Board Meeting | December 18, 2025
Article Summary: The Will County Board approved a second extension for a special use permit for a landscaping business in Homer Glen. The business owners cited delays in securing electricity from ComEd as the primary reason for the project’s stalled progress.
Extension Key Points:
-
Business: Matthuis Family Partnership LP (relocating “815 Mulch-It”).
-
Location: 17958 S. Cedar Road, Homer Glen.
-
Delay: Unforeseen challenges in getting ComEd to provide electricity to the site.
-
New Deadline: The permit is now valid until May 13, 2026.
The Will County Board on Thursday, December 18, 2025, voted to grant a second extension for a special use permit associated with a landscape and lawn maintenance business in Homer Glen.
The permit, originally approved in May 2023, allows the Matthuis Family Partnership LP to relocate its mulching business, “815 Mulch-It,” to a property at 17958 S. Cedar Road. Under county ordinances, special use permits typically lapse if the use is not established within two years.
According to the request submitted to the Land Use Department, the applicants have faced “unforeseen challenges” in working with ComEd to provide electricity to the property. This utility delay has hindered the completion of the permitting process required to legally establish the business on the site.
The County Board is authorized to grant up to four separate extensions for good cause. This second extension gives the business owners an additional 180 days, making the permit valid through May 13, 2026, to resolve the utility issues and finalize development.
