Lawn Care & Maintenance

What's included

  • Weekly mowing & edging
  • Seasonal fertilization
  • Aeration & overseeding
  • Weed & pest control

A healthy lawn sets the stage for everything else in your yard. Chicago lawns have a lot to handle: humid summers, freezing winters, heavy clay soil in many neighborhoods, and a short spring that seems to arrive all at once. Our lawn care programs follow that calendar, so your grass gets the right attention at the right time of year.

Regular mowing and edging

During the growing season we mow weekly at a height suited to cool-season grass, which encourages deeper roots and helps the lawn crowd out weeds. Every visit includes clean edging along walks, beds, and driveways, and we clear clippings off hard surfaces before we leave.

Fertilization, aeration, and overseeding

Most Chicago lawns are cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and fine fescue. They do most of their growing in spring and fall, so that is when seasonal fertilization matters most.

Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil to relieve compaction, letting water, air, and nutrients reach the roots. It's especially helpful on clay soil and in high-traffic areas. Late summer into early fall is the best window to aerate and overseed thin or patchy spots, because warm soil and cooler air help new grass establish before winter.

Weed and pest control

Weeds and lawn pests are easiest to deal with early. Because we see your lawn on a regular schedule, we can spot problems as they start and treat them before they spread, keeping the turf thick, even, and green.

Common Questions

Have a question we didn't cover? Call us at (773) 456-1537.

How often do you mow?

Weekly during the growing season, which in Chicago usually runs from spring into late fall. Edging and clearing clippings off walks and driveways are part of every visit.

When is the best time to aerate and overseed in Chicago?

Late summer to early fall. The soil is still warm, the air is cooler, and new grass has time to root before the ground freezes.

Can you help a lawn that's thin or patchy?

Yes. We'll look at the lawn during a free consultation and recommend a plan, which may include aeration, overseeding, fertilization, and weed control.
