Lawn care is our specialty. Emerald Lawn Care will provide the lawn care necessary to make your lawn lush, green, and weed-free. If you are looking for the best lawn care service in the Northwest Suburbs, you've found it. We use professional grade, slow release, granular fertilizer to provide a steady supply of nutrients to your lawn.
Organic options available. Broadcast applications of liquid weed control are the most effective way to address dandelions and other broadleaf weeds in the lawn. We can even control violet and Creeping Charlie! What's a "real" review? Look at a company's ratings across Google, Yelp, Nextdoor, and Facebook - Are they excellent on each site, or do they have 5 stars on Google but only 1.5 stars on Yelp?
Real reviews are consistent from site to site. A high rating on only one site suggests some manipulation is going on - and that's not fair to potential customers. We return phone calls, we keep appointments, and we want your business.

Services
Established in 2002, Emerald Lawn Care was different from the beginning. Our professionals have always delivered personal service and a custom program. We want you to have a beautiful, thriving landscape, but we do not want to waste your money on unnecessary treatments that add needless chemicals into the environment.
We use only slow release granular fertilizer products, unlike some of the national lawn care companies who use liquid fertilizers so they can apply multiple products in a single mixture. We use slow release fertilizer to provide steady availability of nutrients, to reduce the chance of burning your lawn, and to reduce leaching.
Liquid applications of broadleaf weed control are generally done once in May and again in September. These broadcast applications are the most effective way to deal with dandelions, clover, and a host of other broadleaf weeds. We will also spot treat weeds as needed while doing fertilizer applications.
There are two approaches to grub control - preventative and curative. Prevention is usually done in June and early July, while curative is done when the grubs are actively feeding in the fall. Both are granular insecticide applications that should be watered in shortly after the application is made.

We’ve been using Emerald for 2 years now and we’ve never looked back. They are responsive and provide professional guidance and the services that we need to keep our lawn healthy and beautiful. The staff are friendly and informative. Our neighbors always compliment the full, deep green of our lawn. Two of our neighbors have switched to Emerald once they saw the significant improvement to our lawn and heard about the excellent customer service. Emerald is not the cheapest but they are the best and worth the extra money!

I have had experience with other weed control services with unsatisfactory results. Emerald Lawn Care has been a pleasure to work with; my lawn never looked better. The service is well worth the cost and it has been a real joy to communicate with them as they have proven to be very courteous and responsive to my inquiries. I look forward to continuing the service in the seasons to come and will happily recommend them to friends and neighbors.

Our lawn was dead. I was ashamed and embarrassed. We had grubs and chinch bugs that made things even worse. After numerous recommendations by neighbors, I contacted Emerald and spoke with Dave, who laid out the plan and then followed through beautifully. He explained that it was a team effort and after about a month's worth of watering...our lawn is thicker than ever and is the envy of the neighborhood. I enjoy mowing the lawn again thanks to Emerald!

Emerald Lawn Care is an excellent company. We have used this company for years now. Our lawn looks great! We often get people asking who takes care of your lawn. We cut it ourselves but Emerald Lawn takes care of all the weed control. We have sent a number of people to them. We would not recommend it if we weren't completely satisfied ! Not only is this company top notch with it's products but the staff is awesome as well in person or by phone! I highly recommend Emerald Lawn!

Emerald Lawn Care Rocks!
Starting with their Customer Service Tracey, Having you on Emerald’s tram makes a big difference.
Thank you so much for being so helpful always. It really takes such an amazing person to do what you do. I can't forget about your team as well. Every time I ask a question to either one of them, they are very knowledgeable about your products.
I am happy about how my lawn is starting to look,
Thanks again to the whole Emerald’s team!

Emerald has done fertilizer and weed control for my lawn since fall 2020. My lawn has never looked better, and I have gotten compliments from other landscaping companies on my lawn. They provide great service and are responsive to requests. They also tell you if you do not need a particular service rather than trying to sell you something you don't need. I thought I might need overseeding, but the came out, inspected my lawn, and told me I didn't need it. Thanks Emerald!

These guys are the best. If you are sick of your lawn looking sick give them a call. Within 2 months my lawn went from terrible to absolutely gorgeous! Everyone you will deal with truly wants to help you get the best lawn you can have. Very personalized service. The proof is that four of my neighbors now use Emerald.

I went with Emerald Lawn Care because I was EASILY able to speak to a knowledgeable and friendly rep in the local area. With my first year just about up, my lawn looks better and I fully expect to re-book with them for next season. Good value, good local people.

We've used Emerald Lawn Care for about five years. Our lawn looks great -- very lush without weeds. We've been spending a lot of time outside. It's great not to worry about mosquitoes. Emerald Lawn Care does the trick!!

Emerald Lawn Care has a solid reputation for across-the-board quality, and I can now see why. I was very skeptical about reseeding our troubled lawn, but 4 weeks later, the results were great. Used them for fertilizing and weed control as well. Very glad we chose Emerald for all of this, and you should too!
